I think I've come up with winning methods in my life, and I've currently got the 2nd one. The first one was a winning system but took up literally all of my time. I could win money, but do nothing else! I got bored and felt negative because of that. Winning money is one thing, but how you feel about your life is just if not more important!

People on here often knock the 'casual' punters approach, but in my view the best balance is to make a decent sideline from gambling, but have an additional life and pursuit alongside that.

Lay favourites (any sport) that have very little chance of winning compared to the odds they are being offered at. cf Liverpool tonight

Well that's obviously the theory, but how do you go about determining what their real chances are? That's the key.

It has not been officially possible to make a living from betting in the UK until exchanges
came into being and prior it was only achieved by covertly winning from high street LBO. Now it seems there are 2 clocks ticking that may impinge on this window of opportunity, one being the ability of exchange winners being able to keep there winnings past corporation intolerance to winners and secondly in-efficient governments seizing upon the sums in the form of very poor tax regimes for which the UK does have a poor record in. Let us pray that Winning wont just become another broken dream......... |

its about having an edge/knowing something the bookies dont.a tennis player unwell.a horse expected to show better (or worse) than it has to date.a row or low morale in a football team .if you are depending on straight betting between you and bookie you on a lose because you are not getting the true price of something happening.??????? WHAT A PATHETIC STATEMENT - THE LAST PART SHOWS YOU ARE A GALOOT |

The bookmakers prices are based on poor race compiling as must be a lot of other sports so doubt that they can be a cornerstone, more like a millstone if relied upon and how can they be any marker when favs are 10% down on ROI % and the rest of market is much worse due to over-round?

Again, total rubbish
The bookmakers prices are based on excellent race compiling - how else do such stats as average odds for winning favourites = 2.9 yet their strike rate is 35% overall, thereby providing them profits year in year out and always have done. Their whole point is to offer poor odds - and how can they do this consitently unless they know their job. Take any sport and you will find the mean prices consistent and in their favour. |

yossi, yes Betfair don't offer the possibility to bet on Challengers, too much fixing risks. As if there was no fixing in ATP tour tournaments
