not too bad as got caught out a couple of times during the world cup

Good work Buzzer, are you trading? You must be well inside the top 1% of Betfair users.

Anyone going to post bigger losses than me to make me feel better?

Horse Racing - Virtual: -£7.96 |,need to give that up if you can make 11k on the real ones.

I'm small fry M4RK compared to some on here

as subbuteo master shows

Yes I can see that now buzzer!
Makes me wonder why you get people saying nobody makes profit on Betfair when clearly it's possible and plenty of people do.

Horse Racing - Virtual: -£7.96 |,need to give that up if you can make 11k on the real ones

I think I was trying to see what the bots did if you dimed them. No liquidity in there so didn't bother after that

Never been there,what volume of money is available?

Absolutely bugger all. Saw a race trade 50 quid and I was market making in it for a grand on all prices.

Gave up after that.......

Addicts only.

Only posting because I'm ahead.

Golf: £4.59 | Horse Racing: £732.49 | Soccer: £1,033.50  Total P&L:  £1,770.58

Golf should be more but I put a couple of bets on for my dad that lost (£15 in total)
Horse racing I haven't a clue what I'm doing.
Football profits came from the world cup,trading teams (with stupid amounts) but had loads of luck with teams I'd just backed scoring soon after.
Horse racing is the one I want to crack though.I'm a long way off yet.

You've come a long way Buzzer since you used to lay horses that hadn't run for a while for £30 a go.

that was a strategy to see if anyone picked up on in the footsoldiers thread TTT. It was all dependant on the trainers and  the market, did you work it out? It may still work now but it was most effective during the NH season, good luck

I didn't work anything out.I can't see the wood for the trees here.

You seem to be heading in the right direction and are, at least attempting to, lay at the lowest possible odds from what i can see.

Horse Racing: -£49.29 | Soccer: £326.91 | Tote: |  Total P&L:  £277.62

attempting to yes,doesn't always work like that though.

I'm surprised you're down on the horses Toby.What happened to your profits from layint the shorteners.

I'm officially the biggest loser so far!
Funny that apparently 1 or 2% of accounts are in profit, yet 5 out of 7 (over 70%) on this thread are in profit for the last 3 months.
Where are the losers, don't be ashamed!

"Funny that apparently 1 or 2% of accounts are in profit"

I thought it was 1-2% make a significant amount i.e +15K a year.
My mates in profit, £4.50 last time I checked.He's a £2 punter and bets on anything as long as it's on telly.I wouldn't put him in the top 2% of gamblers.

Here you go Mark,this is my mates figures.

He's worse than I thought.Hope you feel a bit better now.

This only goes back to mid May, the last few weeks of the laying , i was about level during that time, but had £50 on a horse that finished nowhere a couple of weeks ago.

The  1-2% figure is nonsense . Overall , on all cards i have used , i am +£45 on here(having paid christ knows how much in commission ) . Don't think i am in the top 2% though

I'd guess it's more like this amongst regular, long term users:

15% in profit
25% only losing to commission
60% Losing.

Horse Racing: -£6.02 | Soccer: £52.03  | Tote:  |   Total P&L:  £46.01

One day i'll get the hang of it and find an edge. Till then little and often.

[i]"Not according to to the postings on this thread."[/i}

I think there may be something of a selection bias going on.

Ultimately the overwhelming bulk of customers must be losing to comm. That's how Betfair works.

MARK1988 , i do OK on here (usually during the footie season )nothing this last month ,  so i guess it is possible .

However ,i'm always mindful that a few bad results all in the wrong sequence could send everything pear shaped.

So with reward, comes risk i'm afraid. Good luck for the future.

Shame about the 9 months before that though; so more than a bit misleading.

Are you arbing?

And what size bank you running on?

more winners than losers  ---WHAT F'ing FICTION

No arbing.  I generally just bet.  Hence the fact that over the previous nine months i lost money.

I lose on more markets than i win on.

Football includes -2.5k on spain-swiss in the WC. Massive lump job when Spain went 1 down. Bit of a shocker given i usually limit my liability to 500 quid or so per bet.
