That's because we're not winning their money.

The more we win the more they get from us.

..as for 55k a week. I'm happy with that a year..and that's from the HS and poker too.
The idea that all PC payers are winning hundreds of thousands a year is just nonsense.

I haven't played much on here since the 'upgrade'
I have been today though, but wish i hadn't bothered :(


As fpr the PC. I'm sure there are people on specials who win a couple of thousand a year, or less and end up paying now, thanks to the changes they made last year

By enabling Mug Gamblers to lose in more intelligent creative ways it allows them to retain a bit of self esteem while losing all their money.
Report LMansini December 28, 2010 11:31 AM GMT
yeah
you can lose money as a 'sports trader' rather than 'gambling addict'

I started eating into my PC allowance after a lifetime P&L of less than 2,000. They don't advertise that though.

However, they are the best. For now.

Where do you get this notion from?

It's the most unreliable site I use, and I use some real crap.

The BF site is very reliable. Although it crashes most browsers on a regular basis (Chrome being the exception).

true coachbuster.

tbf, though, one thing that has improved is site stability. the regular saturday kick-off time crash seems to have taken a back seat of late.

I staked my life on staff member noodles saying how wonderfull betfair were, problems was that no-one would even offer 1.01 on that Sad

Suppose I can't blame them really.

I asked for 1.01 that the number one complaint against betfair would be people objecting to being charged less of their profits in commission than all other winners because they think they should be paying much, much less than them. No one would lay me. Suppose I can't blame them really.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Probably 95% of posters on pc calimero threads are guilty of spewing the same old whinging sh1te yet have never placed a real bet on betfair.
