A lad i know has just inherited a large sum of money.
he has no job but wants to do somthing to make more money...

He knows roughly how betfair works and said he is waiting for a footie team to go 3-0 up or so then putting £50,000 on to win the game profiting £1500 roughly if the result stays the same.

I think he plans to do this on bet365 or here if he can.

im very worried he will win a few but may come unstuck.
I advise him to just buy a few houses and take the rent income as safe money buy he seems set on doing some bets.

Fu** off

You wouldnt get 2 houses for 50,000 anywhere probably not even one.

If he wants to do it let him do it, his bloody loss aint it.

Fishing thread anyway

Smart answere well done you!.

It was based on him using £400,000 of his money for the 2 houses, being the safer bet.

I take it you meant answer by any chance, i think this is a fishing thread and if it isnt then its not your problem if he wont listen, He will go bust and end of story and quickly.

The only thing you can do is warn him, that way when he goes bust your conscience is clear, and you might just find the one guy who ever listens, but don't be hard on yourself when he doesn't

tell him to try with small stakes, and soon enough he will lose and learn his lesson.

Tell him to miss out the middle man and dish it out amongst us all with a smile and handshake for good measure.

Sounds like he's still greiving. Tell him not to do anything rash and you'll help him.... talk him through it if you like (out of it).

He could do worse than lay a 1000.0 horse PRE-OFF three times a day for 100k each. That's a very safe bet to make 300 quid a day, perhaps the other guys will put up some 'hits' ... ?

The only one I know of was a horse called Bermondsey Bob a couple of years ago.

Am I the only one who thinks it's actually quite a good idea? Obviously your mate wouldn't back against Man U when they're 3-0 down, but mostly he should win and it wouldn't take long to make his stake back then he's got a free run...

with a 100k bank it would be childs play to take an easy 500 quid a day out of the horse racing markets.

honestly childs play.

Print this out for your mate.
There is a very big difference between something that's "never going to happen", and something that has a very small chance of happening. This happened only a few days ago:


The Investor     06 Jun 10 19:07 
Just had my first ever loss laying at 1000.

I layed the draw in

Molde v Lillestrom : Match Odds

I had already closed the markets for this game, when I saw a substantial loss in my PL for the day. Then I found out this happened:

89:13 3-1
91:43 3-2
93:34 3-3
(3it)


There was also an African cup of Nations game this year that went from 4-0 to 4-4 in the last 15  minutes, and a championship game where the favourite was leading 4-0, where it went to 4-2 with another two goals in injury time making it 4-4.

In the example above I was lucky enough to have backed the draw earlier at 200's, but I still ended up losing thousands on this.

This is rare, but it happens if one team is much weaker than the other and happens to score the first three goals in the game fairly early in the first half.
