Unlucky Feck. I was going to do a perm because of the value, but it came to 576 and thought it better to stick it on a horse. As it happens I didn't have a bet due to my recent bad run. I wouldn't even have got the place dividend up. Having said that, if it reaches a big amount in 6 weeks or so I'll have a bet. Odds wise it's akin to buying a lottery ticket if it hasn't been won for six draws and the rollover is 20 odd million. Each pound ticket you buy is literally worth £3 plus.

Not even close - jackpot chance is 1 in 13,983,816 Your ticket value is further diluted by the possibility of multiple winners. |

We go through life burying our loved ones until it's our time to quite possibly be wiped into oblivion. Hapiness is a state of mind open only to simpletons and only a real simpleton would equate it to money.
non sequitur. seeing the glass as half empty doesn't excuse pathetic whining that this perspective is everyone else's fault. if life is full of unhappiness why not end it? money isn't an end in itself but opens new avenues of opportunity. if it doesn't make you happier why bother betting? |

This was meant to be a serious thread. The fact that the majority respondent on it is Pom Petty and the Semantics is a measure of how far this forum has sunk and signals its death for me. It's best left to the cheats and copy cats to facilitate their whinging about being charged less than everyone else and is a fitting memorial to the lack of ingenuity of the betfair boffins who have dedicated 99% of their workload to these worthless cnuts. |

It always amazes me how died-in-the-wool oldschool socialist Feck is so willing to just write off vast swathes of humanity.
You really are quite a nasty piece of work deep down aren't you? |

That is a very hurtful comment General. I'm just going to commit suicide now because of you.

feck, you seem like an intelligent fellow but mate consider a couple things -
the guy who put this whole shabang together, andrew black, was once a trader - he decided to build betfair in an 'exchange format', and he quotes ; “It was taken from the way the stock exchange works...." so what you've got is a trader, building a trading platform (an exchange) hoping it would work similar to the stock exchange (a trading environment). feck, you knowingly log-on to an exchange environment but then complain about trading/traders. it's a bit like travelling to a foreign country and then complaining about all the 'foreigners'. so i am not sure why you are here? wouldn't you be more comfortable using another format/website/company? |

Would that last comment not be better aimed at the pc whingers iz?
The pc implied they finally realised that traders don't contribute much in the way of liquidity. I'm just hoping they'll finally realise they've made a mistake with the interface. |

PC payers need Betfair more, not vice versa. Betfair may or may not become a better place for normal bettors without PC payers, but I am sure if they leave, their positions will be filled fairly quickly. The PC payers may be necessary for Betfair to keep the liquidity, but not for normal bettors.
A new bettor to Betfair will need to be extremely lucky to be hit by PC before they reach the stage to understand/worry PC and commission structures. |
