Ok, in the past we did used to have the same conversation with each other many, many times. But somehow it didn't get boring.
Anyone want to talk about a)Time b)Hooverers c)Striped blazered ferengi tobleroners d)Tax I am well versed in all of the above. |

The disappearance of people like yourself helped make it the rooting corpse it is now pumpkin.

come on then explain to me what hoovering is? don't say get a Dyson
|
|
By:
It accepting money that is in the market when there is little or no chance of you losing. Photo finishes were a classic example. People would know the result and "hoover" all money being layed on the winner before betfair suspended the market.

By:
I'd have thought you might be more curious as to what a tobleroner is.
|
|
By:
but youve only posted 17 times?
|
|
By:
So all the people betting on VLV when the price was wrong were just hooverers. And they had the nerve to complain as well.
"rooting corpse" means something very different if you know Australian slang. What is tobleroner then. PLease explain. Is it some kind of slang for a banker. I genuinely have no idea. |
|
By:
and whats a ferengi? I used to hear that term all the time but never knew.
"but youve only posted 17 times?" the clue is in the last 3 letters of his name... |

By:
There's a ferengi definition here along with some other hidden BF forum meanings:

By:
Muqbil's Ferengi definition was, I'm sure, tongue in cheek.
 |
|
By:
I presume it's meant specifically more for traders/scalpers etc rather than all winners.

I have posted many 1000's of times since 2001, just not on this account. Feck is responsible for the majority of terms that refer to traders. Ferengi, from Deep Space 9/star trek, alien race who act as middlemen with little concern for anything except profit, tobleroners-its a cheap bar of chocolate and refers to traders who aim to make that sort of money per trade.
I am of course forgetting the whole "hiding of the queue" debates  |
|
By:
And of course "real liquidity". It's all coming back to me.

I'm sorry but why is there a game of battleships going on in the middle of this thread.

Ah, the good old days Pumpkin. Before betfair discovered they weren't just accidental scvm.

I am still waiting for the elusive big win that would enable the purchase of the original Nick Leeson blazer;

Last month, he suggested he might return to full-time trading. "You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me to manage their money," he said at the time.
 Did he return? |

"Shell and pea merchants" used to amuse me

My all time favourite was PERVS (pouncing equilibrium storing value seekers) who, along with the visible SP bets, were supposedly going to make the betfair SP a raging success that could support bets of any size. I never felt I got the recognition I deserved for that one.
 |
|
By:
I think I missed that one Feck, I'm sure it must have been "RE storing" too. Good one though...
|
|
By:
Your right catfloppo, it was pouncing equilibrium restoring value seekers.
|
|
By:
Even the SP is a boon to traders in that the visible amounts can be spoofed. Why do the notional 1.01 backs need to be visible anyway?
|
|
By:
I would like to hear something about TIME please. I kind of miss Adonis
|
|
By:
Adonis! He posted so much nonsense, his posts looked impressive until you actually read them
 When he was banned from here he went onto the WBX forum where he didn't last long after lecturing one of the moderators about how they should be doing their job. I last saw him on the purple forums refusing to place a bet there until he had fully evaluated their INTEGRITY I've not been on the purple for ages, maybe he's still there is you need a fix. |
|
By:
But like the OP said, It’s so quiet on here these days. Wouldn’t you rather have the likes Adonis ranting about “extractions” etc

I think the purple closed its forum catfloppo. My old mucker medemi was reportedly sighted over there at one time. |
