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 :)

i would cosider myself a professional gambler,started 10 years ago and havent had a losing year.Recently i have started putting my bets up on twitter,obviously after i have got my own bets on.Anyone interested have a look here http://twitter.com/thebetservice ,its totally free before anyone accuses me of spamming
simple really,
as i've stated i put my bets on first then publish them,
i dont like bookies or the way they operate (pushing them awful fobt's) and the more people that bet my selections the less profits for them and their hungry shareholders.
have a look on twitter wont cost and you might find the odd nugget of info that might be helpful

bamboss,
I'm an IR trader, so not of much use to me.
If you've been doing this 10 years, why did you only join BF 1 month ago?

dont let start dates fool u,
the start date is related to when a forum name is created not joing betfair.
always had a betfair account,when i got on 2% comm rate they scraped my original acc and gave me master acc,soon after they upped the commission structure to 150,00 points fromm 100,000,i was working a lot of hours to keep on 2% but the new structure made it impossible ,so became disillusioned with bf for a while but then came back and just gave up on the idea of having the lowest comm rate,and now bet 90% of the time with the bookies
excuse the long winded answer

You became disillusioned with BF because it was harder to keep to 2% commission?!?
Because I only trade IR I don't have much use for bookies, but I find it extraordinary that you are able to make a living from using them 90% of the time. Surely they close you down, don't they?

Also, I would imagine that the last thing you should really be doing, given that you rely on their perpetuation, is to advertise bookmaker mistakes. Particularly if they are systematic mispricings, and thus likely to reappear in similar events in the future, you really don't want to attract attention to them.
q1 yes i did,is it so difficult to understand,when u are paying a company a lot of money for a service and suddenly they want 50% more,u get peed off
q2 off course they do,i have been closed hundreds of times over,u got to be innovative in finding ways of getting on,
now a couple of q's for u,have u looked for me on twitter and what do u think?

No, as I say, I only trade IR. For several reasons, I am completely tied to Betfair (the API and the IR liquidity mainly), so even the PC can't persuade me to bet anywhere else.
As I said in my last post, though, I really don't think it's in your interests to advertise the mispricings that you find.

my interests are fine,10 years of profits have seen to that,
these are not misprices ( a new term on me)
have a look at the bets and tell me what u mean by misprices

By misprices I'm guessing he means that if you're consistantly winning then the bets you are making are at better odds than the actual likelyhood in the actual event, which means they are overpriced as that's why you're making your profit.
Bookies might even adjust according to your bets if you're THAT good..

that sounds plausable,
another bet just came in,short price mind,

I didn't write 'misprices', I wrote 'mispricings'. And what Just Checking says is precisely what I mean.
Do you not agree that, long term, you can only profit from the bets struck at the bookies if the bookies are making mistakes?!?

prices i see as value,i know i can win long term,as regards the bookies seeing their prices as mistakes i'm not so sure about that,dont they employ and pay a salary to compilers for that
what does ?!? mean ,couldnt find it in your dictionary
easiest way for u to understand is to look at my bets

The point is not that the bookies see their prices as mistakes - of course they don't! - it's that you ought to, otherwise you wouldn't be taking them. And if you think they've made a mistake, then don't go advertising the fact on Twitter.
10 years as a professional gambler, and you don't understand the notion of a mispricing.

Sorry bamboss, but as I have made clear, it is entirely counterproductive for you to be tweeting about your bets (unless you intend to sell your 'tips').
I do bet for a living, and I would never dream of discussing the details of my bets on a public forum.

Interesting...you back something on a rumour...you sound terribly shrewd
I am very much awake...it's dangerous to be sleepy on Betfair
2 more winning bets again today,unfortunatley 2 losing bets aswell,but a profit was made
I;m going to look you up bamboss I may try the same thing.
if someone wants to publicise their bets then great. what's the problem Contrarian?
The problem is that, as I have explained, there is no incentive for him to do so, unless he plans to start a tipping service.
maybe he wants the adulation of his fans and followers
There is an incentive. It is not adulation or money from a tipping service either.
what i put up on twitter is bets i have placed myself,
if u want to call it a tipping service thats fine,but it is FREE and will remain so,
1 bet posted today

bamboss,
Fair enough. If you never charge for it, then, of course, there is no problem.

No problem charging for tips, but advertising it here is..
Alex,
As Eddie says.
There is nothing wrong per se with charging for tips, but there would be if bamboss were to, because the tips are just his bets, and so he would effectively be front-running them all.

I've had a great idea:
I'll start a tipping service that people can join free of charge. While the member base is still small, I'll give tips that are actually valuable. Then as the member base grows and the betting of people following tips causes odds to move I'll start trading based on that.
After a while it becomes a case of just supplying a large group of people with stuff to bet on randomly and taking advantage of the shift in price.

interesting idea,where can u be found.
i found out years ago that trading is a waste of money,
if u got the right price,keep it,u will find your profits vastly improve

Alex,
some people on here got crazy notions,
to say a few followers can move a market and then be accused of being of an organised ramping gang is just stupid ,lol

I'm not accusing you of anything, but it does happen.
Of course it happens. I help run a specialised sports service which I'm sure moves markets on here
interesting idea investor but it wouldn't work for long as your members got tired of your dud tips

Well, pretty much every tipster's tips are dud tips, and there are still some of them making a lot of money.
