Last deposit was Aug 2009 £200, I said then if I ever had to deposit again I would give up.

I'd like to deposit more, but all my cash is already on Betfair Laugh

I withdraw a fixed amount each month for living expenses regardless of Profit/Loss, and an additional amount to cover expenses other than comm/PC, such as software development.

just once.
Report cpfc4me • March 25, 2011 6:39 AM GMT
Once, March 2004 - £100. If you have an edge, that's all you need. If you don't have an edge, why bother?

Three times.

£25 in 2004 to start the account
£25 in 2004 to get around the -1p bug so I could green out (cashed out as soon as I was allowed)
£500 in 2010 to add power to one of the most ridiculous bets I've seen. (Cashed out straight after bet finished)

£73,582 with my current card

Lori, I'm curious now, what was the ridiculous price?

It think it was a lay on Nigeria to qualify from their group in the World Cup. It was the biggest arb I've seen since Tyson 1/3 Bruno 8/1, (I didn't arb it, I just took the very wrong side)
It was certainly an anti Nigeria bet anyway.

Turns out that there were rumours of dodgy stuff after the event (That were later investigated by someone or other and they were found innocent)

They nearly did qualify though! If Yakubu would have stuck away that brilliant chance...

not deposited for nearly 5 years.

it's a job. it's one thing not getting paid occasionally. but when you're actually paying for the privilege of going to work, it's time to pack it in and do something else.

Eh, you'd need to be pretty terrible with money management to have to deposit ever. Doesn't mean your profitable if you don't though.

Hadn't deposited for over a year but needed more liquidity for some longer IPL outright lays so topped up again this month.

In all I've deposited £120; I've cashed out £30 and still have an account balance of £60, but £55 of that is currently tied up in positions. I know I've got a fair bit of green coming my way in the prem though unless Wigan survive the drop.

I don't pretend to make a living here. Most of the loss I've made has been in single large lumpy bets or failing to 'red out' when I knew things were getting away from me. I'm profitable over the last 3 months excluding a lump on the superbowl (which I know nothing about, it wasn't an informed bet) so I'm happy enough. The real test for me will be coming out green from the world cup and IPL.

Perhaps a better question is "how often do you withdraw?", if you're not withdrawing you're not really making money from it!
