A good start to the thread.......bad luck SoC731, you need to polish that crystal ball.

Two Mystics have predicted the future tonight, lets see how they fare. My money's down.

Freddie Williams would you like to become a Mystic tomorrow? Post your nap by 12pm.

IQMJ was a distant ego, from what I remember he was struggling to get to grips with this betting lark. Then suddenly he changed his name and everything became simpler.

You keep side-stepping the most important point raised on your threads.

We need to see pics of the young lady who has stolen your heart.

tia.


gl with the punting. It would be good to see one of your threads kept going...

iquit how would i go about predicting the punters and what they do?

Day 2

bank: 2049.25

today's Mystic Meg is a guy called 'Kenny doomed' off the horse racing forum. He has claimed to have 17 winning lays in a row. Now he has kindly broadcasted today's selections. He has looked into the future and seen these 5 horses all lose. I shall be taking him on by betting each selection in a martingale style in the hope that if one wins i will be 60 up. I shall stop betting as soon as one romps home hence denting his ego. At his quoted prices, if all horses go on to lose..... my hat will go off to this kenny fella and I will lose around 236.

1. Talley Close @2.84 (2.10 Cat)
2. Fol Pickle @3.7 (2.40 Cat)
3. Night Singer @5.2 (3.10 Cat)
4. Baylini @4.4 (6.05 San)
5. Tilos Gem @3.15 (8.50 San)

well that was boring, not a good start for kenny.... Talley Close winning 1st race @3.5

won 60, bank now 2109

So after a succession of unsuccessful threads you have started a thread that is reliant on someone elses thread not doing well.

A strange vortex you have created.

The irony will be when this thread is followed by someone else who decides to do what you are doing.

....my head hurts.....

Day 3 bank 2109


I'm taking on tracksuitdave again on the horse racing forum. He says the 8.50 race at Epsom is a two horse race between Space Station and Admire The View. I've had a quick look at the card and it is a six-runner race. Two at the prices look like no-hopers, so I have bet the other two in the hope that Dave's crystal ball is still a little hazy.

bet 40 on Brannagh @5/2 (8.50 Epsom) and
bet 20 on Woodcate Place @6/1

one of the outsiders won the race, Woodcate 2nd. Should have layed tracksuits selections. Oh well, I'm away for the weekend, back Monday to continue with this. Good luck predicting the future fellow Mystics.

bank 2049

Day 4 bank: 2049 (49)

I'm taking on a couple of Mystics in the 3.45 race at Yarmouth. One mystic called dukes claims to have inside info and another mystic called guesser is pointing out the trainer's strike-rate. They both advise us to be on the same horse, it's fav but you know what to do.

layed 45 Wake Up Call @2.36 (3.45 Yarmouth)

well done dukes and guesser a nice early price too

bank 1989 (-11)

Day 5 bank: 1989 (-11)

1. layed 13 Mayson @8.4 (Good 4.00)

Finjaan           3.25
Stone of Folca    4.00

GL All

willie the milk has placed a Lucky 15, good luck to the guy.....but I'm laying each one for a 100 liability

2. layed 16 Almiqdaad @7.4 (2.10 Good)
3. layed 20 Dandino @6 (2.45 Good)
4. layed 17 Finjaan @7 (3.25 Good)
5. layed 25 Stone Of Folca @5 (4.00 Good)

I shall also be playing a Martingale on this Willie guy, where if he scores a winner a shall lay his next selection for a 1000 liability in the hope this mystic will NOT score a quick-fire double. If he does I'm screwed and this small bank will be blown to pieces. Have a glorious Goodwood, I know I will thanks to mystic Willie.

dukes took some money off me yesterday and I'm pleased to find his NAP today so I can get my money back. It runs 4.00 Goodwood....

6. layed 100 Zebedee @3.85 (4.00 Good)

I notice I have three liabilities in this 4.00 race, it could be an expensive day

Everything in position for overstaking and chasing.  It seems that your domicile might have changed but it seems you have some of your luggage with you.

thread's just a bit of fun shapey... I'm loaded after WC and working hard in real World so I really couldn't care less win or lose here

no time for detailed form study or market watching at the minute as I'm too busy. So just punting on football like the good ol days and enjoying it. This thread was an idea brought about by a post I made in winners don't share thread.

jtwinners     27 Jul 10 10:17

There is a great bet at goodwood today, Dandino in the 2.45 got to win, back it eackway and get stake back no lose!!!

ok jtwinners I will lay you this no lose bet

7. layed 50 Dandino @6.2 (2.45 Good)
7. layed 50 Dandino place @2.2

btw OVERSTAKING and working hard is how you become loaded. I haven't worked out my WC profit/loss to level stakes, % of bank crap. Have a gamble, get stuck in. It's healthy sometimes if you are in good form. As long as it's your spare money and all bills are paid you are not hurting anyone.

right my mystics are loaded, here's to a FUN day watching the gee gees. Have a nice day.

OVERSTAKING and working hard is how you become loaded

working hard (i.e. researching, etc), yes
overstaking - no

Perhaps it's my background of putting on shows and festivals where I was "gambling" tens and hundreds of thousands but any time I blew my capital, it set me back weeks or months. 

I agree on ramping it up when you see the play but there are never any guarantees of a return and the potential of a loss.

But as one of my mentors told me, a big gamble and win is talked about for months.  A big gamble and loss affects you for even longer both in your budget and decision making.

The1andonly gave me 12 yesterday

willie the milk's 4 selctions all lost handing me 74

jtwinners took 12.5 off me with the placing of Dandino

but dukes again killed me with his bet of Zebedee costing me 285

overall loss of 211 on the day, bringing the bank down to 1778 (-222)

off to find some Mystics.......

Day 6 bank 1778

_ghostbuster_ has a thread titled: LAY OF THE SEASON

he then goes on to write Canford Cliffs

I don't know about you but I don't believe in ghosts.....

bet 778 on Canford Cliffs @3/4

iquit...how have u learned patience and discipline since moving abroad

patience and discipline does not win you 584

I ain't afraid of no ghosts..... I'm afraid of R Hughes but right now I love him

bank: 2362 (362)

when u lived here u admitted u had no patience or discipline...u even had a mate looking after your account....whats changed......

also ...this thread is about 3% steaks

This is all fiction, anyways freddie.  The boy smokes cigars but only blows smoke.

Any times he's tried any serious analysis or picks, he gains a bit then loses it, stakes wildly and disappears for weeks.

Nothing to learn from his threads or IQMJ except the art of the chase which always ends in the red.

NO just betting diary...

Gambling Addiction betting diary...from 3% to 778EURO HIT... just one more GAMBLER

all these bets are real my sesame friends....when the punters win they stake more the next day, they think they are invincible. Understand? No mystics today I'm too busy.

"when the punters win they stake more the next day"

A general statement. 

Ironically, you stake more when you are losing.  Thus the chase.

shapeshifter why have u got mentors?

freddie, a bit bagged to type now.  Busy Friday.  But check back in and will answer...

shapeshifter why have u got mentors?

Anyone who thinks they know it all, know nothing at all.

shapeshifter?

very true Muqbil

This betting game....I studied the game long and hard all last year to try and find a way of earning consistent profits and failed in the main. I work 55 hours a week in the real World with hardly any time spent on research and I win. I think there can be a case sometimes of trying too hard.

These mystics....they spend one hour, two hours, 2 weeks on a game. What's the point they still in lap of Gods. Lay em till the cow's come home is what I say.

No need to seethe Shapeshifter this is danish krone bank. You need 5.5 dkk to buy one canadian dollar so calm down.

You can boll ock me now though when I tell you I had 5000 dkk on Brøndby but I only have 10000 dkk in my bank. I just couldn't resist, my crystal ball was shining yellow and blue all week....I kept having more on every day, all my tips went on Brøndby.

If I'd have lost, would it matter? No. All bills are paid, plenty of beer money, holiday paid for with WC winnings. A good old gamble is healthy sometimes, it gets the blood pumping.

I'l play small stakes now all month....I'm guaranteed to be winning come aug 31st, do you understand? Prices are right most of the time, level stakes....1pt, 2pt whats the point....ramp it up as you like to say, buý something with winnings and enjoy life.......peace

any mystics today?

hey freddie, chilled for the weekend with the family.  Will follow up this evening

shape ure making me wait a long time

I hope I don't disappoint.  In this evening....

Hey Freddie, juggling a sched with shapeshifter jr out of school now. 

Essentially I have to "mentors" that have given me advice over the years.  One is a gentleman here who is essentially full-time as a gambler.  He makes most of his money on in-running.  His set-up is pretty extraordinary (I nick-named it the "Enterprise").  Far beyond bfexporer, gruss, etc.  Designed to make transition from placing a position to then trading/hedging a breeze.  Graphs and signals to help make decisions are there.  Custom-made "warnings" that if they come up, you simply hit F12 and macros take over to get you out of a corner. 

Tech aside, he taught me alot about trading in-running as well as positioning for in-running for football.  Speed, to him, is not the key to making money.  It was a common point we have which is I look at in-running, hedging, etc, like a chess match where it is more important to position your pieces rather than constantly try to go for checkmate. 

The other is someone in the States that is part of a betting forum I belong to (not public, through a mate of mine).  I'm one of the few people outside the states (maybe a dozen in all) who also understands U.S./Canadian Sports.  He's old skool and basically helped me with the psychology of betting, getting past some barriers, as well as making me better understand how to research sports.  He also helped me better my criteria for the long-list each day then creating another list of criteria for the shortlist.   

I've also developed an approach for staking through advice from both of them that suits my approach to selection, betting, etc.  Obviously success comes down to strike-rate and ROI but staking takes the pressure off of some of the decision making.

The common point we had is I look at betting like boxing:  Each bet is a jab then everyone once in a while you calculate your moment and go for the bigger punch but keeping in mind you are in it for the entire match.  But the "bigger punch" doesn't mean putting down a ton on your bank.  It can mean following a team and then finding the two or three games in a row to bet with or against them.  It can also mean researching a match then putting several bets down on the event rather than just the final result (not talking hedging but looking at all the bets on offer and finding value). 

Muqbil said it: we never stop learning.  Several times over the years I have hit "walls" that feel like burn-out.  I'm not talking about losing streaks.  More about mind-melts where you go through the motions so much that there is no drive, no thrill on a good day, not even kicking yourself for a "stupid mistake", etc.

Working with both these people through last year returned me to tapping into the same feeling I had when I played golf and came off the course feeling fantastic about the day or if after a bad round, figure it out and go right back out on the course rather than dwelling on the past.

All in all, betting is alot more enjoyable and the returns seem to be reflected in the enjoyment I am getting out of the game.

thanks shape
what age are u?



shape.......will u be my mentor?
im being serious

is this you Sam?? iquitmy etc.
