wondering how many gamble full time and at what volumes.
I am starting to make about 50 quid a day.
Am I lucky? Or am I honing my skills?
I'd be keen to meet professional full time punters :)

99% of them wouldn't (or shouldn't) be spending their time on the forum.

hmm...good point
But I find that professionals in every industry (especially online based industries) always congregate in a forum of sorts to discuss their discipline.
Maybe not here but somewhere!

I hardly ever bet on football - at least not on match odds as it is a three way market (i.e. probability is 1/3)

I think your last post might just have disqualified you certainly from the actual professional ranks and probably from the potential ones as well.

Don't laugh at me....I usually only bet on tennis & basketball
probability is a simple 1/2 - they are two way markets....win or lose / black or white / 1 or 0
simples :D

My football bets are only backed up with knowledge of the teams/leagues, I'd usually bet on total goals, send off, cards, and to score rather than match odds which have  a probability of 1/3

something does or doesnt happen. Therefore the probability of anything is 1/2.

@King Cally - I'm afraid you a wrong.
There are typically  3 outcomes on both sides in a footy match

A Win
A Loss
A Draw

So the probability of get the right outcome is only one out of the three available options.
(33.3%)

Tennis and B-Ball only have 2 outcomes:

A Win or
A Loss

So 1/2 (50%)

If you believe modern physics.
Everything that can happen, does happen.

So the old cliche that everyone on betfair wins, could be true.

But it would also be true that everyone on betfair is a loser.

It just depends which universe you're looking at.

I do OK in this one. In plenty of others I'm sure I'm doing my nuts.

king cally.

you are correct, football is 1/3.

so you should back every win ovwe 2/1 and lay everything under 2/1.

you will make a killing, lets us know how it goes wont you.
