19th May is the Champions League Final.
Anything in the six weeks from 2nd July to first half of August would be better!

Anybody else notice that the only persons to express interest on here are those few who really do need help with their techniques.
I mean let's face it Investor, Contrarian, Magician, pumpkin- I mean what a particularly sorry lot of perennial losers.
I obviously don't qualify.

The main topic will surely be cheating as it's now sanctioned by the GC. What's the point of trying to learn the impossible when the impossible to lose is available.

Wow and you did all that, joined here and found the forum all in one day?

I was having a chat with some people about the presenters and I have heard they suck.

20 delegates and a waiting list is now growing for a repeat conference which will take place soon after the first one. Should be a very enjoyable 2 days
Report The Magician (100) April 18, 2012 10:01 PM BST
Well I will not be attending afterall

despite being the first person on this thread and pre-registering that same night, and recieving a "interim booking" email from the organisors, they have reneged on this - and when I tried to pay for the tickets they said they had sold them to others.

Nice...
Report OliasOfSunhillow April 19, 2012 8:02 AM BST
All those who expressed an interest were told to expect an email on the 12th April with regard to payment details effectively giving them first bite of the cherry. That email went out on the 11th and the conference filled up on the 15th so plenty of time to get your booking in. There will be a repeat conference soon after this one so I would suggest hooking onto that one.
Report Muqbil April 19, 2012 12:59 PM BST
Maybe attending a later conference is the better option, gives those at the launch opportunity to say whether it is worthwhile setting aside a whole weekend. We all know people attending who will give an honest appraisal.

I'd go to a tutorial in how to do logistic regression analysis simply and cleanly and one on how to capture and easily format data. I do both of these like a pig at the moment, wasting time I don't have.

The organisers are onto something so I'd be grateful for feedback on what they're actually offering.

Olias

dont want to get in a discussion with you - but that would not be a provisional booking then.

that would be a first come first served free from all..., making the purspose of pre-registering a waste of time, which it was

good luck hope the conference goes well, but i think you need to go to a different conference on customer management
Report Contrarian April 19, 2012 10:42 PM BST
Olias,

I also sent an email inquiry just after Magician, and only ever received an automated reply saying that I would be contacted in due course. There was no further contact.

Actually, it's all academic because the conference coincides with the Champions League final - probably the biggest betting night of the year for me - however it would have been nice to have had the option.

Contrarian see my thread you ignored my question so you're in no position to accuse others of bad service

I dont know your current psat with Contraian, but I would say

1) in 8-10 years I have discussed issuse with him on here he has been a gent
2) I have meet him several times and he seems the same in person.

I know things can get slightly heated here, and typed messages taken out of context.

but I think give him the benefit of the doubt, he is surely one of the good guys on here...
Report bob_terwilliger April 19, 2012 11:28 PM BST
so why did he attack me tonight unprovoked and then fail to account for his attack on me?

Why are people blaming Olias, surely  he's just another attendee of the conference anyway

I did indeed call Bob a c0ck. It was a slight overreaction, but only slight.

Bob, why are you so interested in my age? Do you want my vital statistics too?

top2rated, I saw that, I was asking for feedback on what the days were like in practice....

My data is messy and my judgments impressionistic, my compiler leaks and I make it back on observation-specific wagers on horses and ownerships. I've never heard about this R as a way of modelling outcomes and might have some interest in it.

Crumbs, a thread featuring people wanting to sell to the site's shrewdest and most committed bettors descends into a brawl.... Maybe the day will have people using multiple-screens as lances or dropping actuarial-type goal chances and supremacy tables on others' heads from on high....
