Hi All,

I have just had a message pop up on my screen inviting me to one of these so I would assume others have also. I would like to know if anyone has actually been to one of these and what they thought of it?

I only ask as it would pretty much take the whole day (what with travel) so if I went I would want to be sure it's worthwhile.

Thanks,

S

Don't waste your time. How can they teach you to make money?

Do they include a session on 'How to avoid the Premium Charge'.

there is no agenda, when I wrote to betfair education I got a reply saying they will cover everything from basics to advanced techniques. There are 2 sessions and it's being held at Stamford Bridge next Thursday.

it's more out of curiousity and to see what people who have actually been have to say about it. There's no point speculating on something you haven't attended afterall.

I went to one four years ago (?).   If you're starting out, definitely recommend.  A football match was on that was traded by everyone with a betfair account (I felt sort of like a 'mechanical turk' that was seeding the match Wink). 

Introduced to a couple of other aspects and came away with a 'touch' of perspective to add to my own.

Evening ended with a 'play' that could have gone either way.  Wolverhampton was finishing with a 6 Furlong race.  The rep laid all the horses at 1.75.  Sure enough, the lead changed literally 'touching' the 1.75 trading all green.  I saw a glint in all the 'students' eyes that they have found the holy grail Plain

By the way, I think an intermediate course would be more attractive to betfairians who had been trading for 2 or more years.
