Good luck Eddie!

|
By:
North you clearly don't know who Eddie is so give it a rest maybe. If he says he is doing them, he is.

By:
Thanks catflopo too. 1-0 now, so looking better..

By:
CrowsEye, I take it that's not your only forum name ?
|
|
By:
knew it was monopoly money
|
|
By:
It more likely that Eddie plays monopoly with real money than pretend martingale
|
|
By:
It is at the moment. Some money was laundered through my old account and had to start fresh.
I'm not someone you'd remember likely, I just know you from the golf forum. |
|
By:
why not have a 6th bank with 60K in it then just in case.
|
|
By:
Because it was a 40 k doubling bank challenge, not a 100 k one.
|
|
By:
its not even real
|
|
By:
just like Schalkes 5th banks
|
|
By:
Northbouy, you can repeat that as many times as you will, you will still be wrong. I can assure you that the money is on, but at this point would it really matter if they are or not ? Doesn't really make any difference for the challenge at this point.

By:
You seem to care a lot for something you're convinced isn't real.

|
By:
good grief.

care factor is now nil, this is all fairy land.

Not sure this will convince you, but it might :

That's the Betfair points statement. Possible to fake of course, but would involve a lot of work.
And before anyoine spots the fault. My account is neitherin £ nor € or $, so I simplified the maths a little bit when converting to £. So all points gained will show as roughly 7.5 % more than they should be. This also means the challenge is closer to a 43 k rather than the 40 k challenge. If Everton go on to win, I will still keep numbers as it was a 40 k one though. |
|
By:
not even a screen shot, and what more the aussie wallet is mixed in, like it is for all of us.
 |
|
By:
ok so its the point statement, even easier to doctor up.

whats the next bet ???????????????????????
|
|
By:
Don't bite Eddie, once people start asking for proof theyre never satisfied. Poor u25k made a video of his p/l and he was accused of faking that!
|
|
By:
has this ever happened before?
Everton 1 - 1 Blackburn R. |
|
By:
I wasn't going to bother much more with him and now it looks like this thread is close to the end anyway.
|
|
By:
Need a goal or this thread will be 40k done.
Gl Eddie, hope it comes in for you, if only to prove the doubters/negferrets wrong ;-). |
|
By:
yep, you completed a "Schalke" challenge. they all end like this.
|
|
By:
Schalke never uses the last bank
|
|
By:
at least his first 4 are real
|
|
By:
Thread over, money done.
TBF, OP never really pretended this wasn't a high-risk strategy, but this should serve as a salvo to anyone who still believes in the Martingale system (or any of its variants). |
|
By:
Well said and commiserations to Eddie.
|
|
By:
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..........
BOOM This thread has proved a multitude. You cannot expect to win blindly getting poor value, no matter how you stake. Eddie has bad luck. Eddie has taken off at the jump and landed face down in the snow. Eddie is either full of it or the bets are real. If he's full of it, then that's nothing new. If the bets are real he's the biggest mug punter of all time. I trust you'll stop trolling me now eddie, as it's all been proven beyond doubt. |
|
By:
Bto, Eddie is a good guy and knew what he was getting into. At no point was he advocating the use of martingale and the threads failure is no indication of whether he was getting value or not, it didn't get far enough for Lori to jump in with his spreadsheet.

Well... that didn't last long. A shame it busted during the first week before it had time to really get interesting.
BTO, I think you are the only one on this forum that has managed to upset me so much that I have bothered to say on this forum what I think of you. You may be the nicest guy on earth in real life for what I know, but you have a way of writing on this forum that make you come out as a condescending pr!ck. It always seems you try to ridicule anyone who disagree with you. At least you used to be like this. You haven't posted much lately and from the little I've seen, you seem to have toned down a little. |

So, that is it.? you could have given me the money
 |
|
By:
geebus - I'd say bad luck Eddie but I'm guessing you were kind of expecting it to happen, it always did in the past with Schalke
I'd love to see you have a crack at his $1.01 - $1.05 ones and try and hit the 200 winners, would be fascinating with a decent starting bank Thanks for the entertainment |
|
By:
Hard luck Eddie, the inevitable happened sooner rather than later this time round.
An update to the results staking 10% of the starting bank to level stakes (was +8k at bet 19) shows a loss of -10k exactly (allowing for 3% comm). |
|
By:
That's my point, he would have had 30k left in the bank and his next five bets could have won.
Or the next five bets could lose and he'd still have half his bank left. Eddie, no good mate. I may infuriate you, but you infuriate me as well. I have posted sometimes that may seem condescending, but that's purely you're (and possibly others) point of view. I don't suffer fools, and that's the way I am. You may not be aware of the many people I've helped by PM. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm always willing to consider their opinion. But when they insist they are right and I know better, either because I worked in the sector at the top level, or know the data backwards, then I lose patience totally. Basically my frustration comes from those that think they know, rather than those that know. Using the argument that the majority knows better, has proved to be flawed time and time again. There's a lot of areas I don't know, but I don't argue to death trying to discredit the poster, just because I'm in the majority because I don't know better. I don't ridicule everyone who disagrees with me, I ridicule those that pretend to know better, but they don't. Putting all your money in one institution is sheer stupidity with what we know in this day and age. In fact it was the same 40 years ago. Whether it's fraud, insolvency or collapse, it doesn't matter, it's like martingale, sooner or later you'll get screwed. You see all these retirees and mum and dad investors crying because they lost their assets or retirement funds, and while I feel sorry for them, extremely sorry, it was always going to happen at some point, because they know no better. |

wombleoz, you certainly wont see me doing one of those 1.01 , 1.02 ... challenges. Anyone doing those(particulary 1.01) with large amounts will imo very often get really bad value for their money.
BTO, I don't doubt you are an intelligent man and are knowledgable in many areas, but that doesn't mean you always are right. What's right for you may be wrong for someone else. I admit I want more security on this site, but I have no idea what would be the best thing to implement. You disagree and argue your case, but I still want more security here. What really annoyd me was when you were posting things like : If you don't know how to do this, maybe this site isn't the place for you ? I can't remember for sure what this was about, but I think you posted this when there was someone who didn't know or understand how one could avoid paying Premium Charge. You also implied that anyone choosing to have a large bank on here were stupid and had only themselves to blame if they were hacked and lost large amounts do to this. Just because you don't need a large bank to work on here, there are plenty of others that do due to their strategies on here. It's also a bit annoying when you are argueing with someone here and keep saying facts about things that clearly isn't facts. Like this one, you didn't state fact here, but you twist the truth so that you will sound more shrewd/correct. You see all these retirees and mum and dad investors crying because they lost their assets or retirement funds, and while I feel sorry for them, extremely sorry, it was always going to happen at some point, because they know no better. It wasn't always going to happen and that's a fact. I'm not looking for an ongoing discussion here. I just wanted to let you know why you annoyed me. Notice the past tense here  |
