Why don't you simply do a bit of business maths, use a spreadsheet like excel, then find what the expected growth of turnover and profit was going to be pre pc2 date for betfair,rounded to nearest quarter, then compare the projection against actual performance figures taking into account any change in expenditure above any unusual costings.
This should leave you with a figure that will represent the extra profit harvested from the customers with highest performance figures via the premium charging mechanism. Of course you then have to arrive at an x figure that is the amount of large players around that account for this extra profit but alas this figure is too complex to discover but looking at the recent upturn in profits it must be a considerable number and one that now must share a special relationship with betfair which is quite healthy in comparison with traditional bookmakers as betfair does truly embrace winners, lets hope betfair also embraces good management of all matters and runs a true course and tight ship into the future of betting this new millennium. |

Any games in particular hit you hard, i'm guessing the goal markets, so maybe Liverpool Man City with the 3 quick Liverpool goals?

I assume most of the posters on this thread made a fortune as there are, as usual, very few of them remaining.

Just for the record - I'm still doing just fine. I don't post much anymore as there aren't many interesting threads to comment on but last year was my best ever. Gambling doesn't work out for most people, but in my case it has changed my life very much for the better.

Great ttt G hall
Again an amazing window on some truly great minds that used to come to this forum and discuss gambling with each other for a bit of escapism. There's a fair bit of chaff in this thread, and I started just ignoring Fine as Frog hairs many many post as I thought his endless naysaying a bit absurd, he obviously didn't know the calibre of the people he was talking too. It was a bit surprising to me how any people kept responding to his posts considering his untenable position. I fell of my chair in surprise at one point. I'd so love to find this chart again, but it's not on the internet anymore (unless anyone knows how to resurrect it from the net archive websites) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24bu26h&s=6 I've only got to page 9, will be back another day to read the rest. Thanks again G Hall |

No problem Escapee I have been trying to locate the thread investor had where he turned 63 pounds into 6 figures but so far can't find it

I didn't know of or don't remember Investor creating a thread blogging his journey.
I met him fairly early on in his adventure, whilst he was fairly open about what he was doing, he didn't strike me as the sort of person to blog about it, especially from the very start. Because the nature of the bets he was doing could have been so easily over run by others like aye robot automating it. Well, in the initial stages where he knew the odds of an event was 1/150 to 1/5000 and he was getting lays matched at 1.02 or 1.03 and not trading risk out to prevent a catastrophe when events played out to near loss of the bet. if you find it, I'd deffo read it.

I think there's no specific blog, but he used to regularly post daily wins/losses in this thread, and somewhere in there will likely be the Newcastle Arsenal game from 0-4 to 4-4, when he took a 50k+ hit on match odds and goals markets:
