IMPROVE YOUR BETTING conference great success

I took the plunge and atteded the conference. It was an enjoyable weekend and very interesting, especially for those who take their betting seriously, or like me are wanting to take their betting seriously.

I think where this conference differed from other such events, is that it was not organised to sell you a product/software etc like others seem to be.
The introduction to data modelling with R by Dr Alun Owen was excellent and R is a free product! This guy really knows his stuff.

Other topics complemented the modelling and data analysis well, such as problems with data analysis and possible solutions, validation etc. All the presenters seemed very knowledgeable.

There were a few little niggles with timing etc, but this was their first conference to be fair, and the presenters were approachable during the lunch break and on the saturday night social get together. They even welcomed continued contact via email as well.

I'd say it was a success and will be at least an annual event. I'm hoping so.

What's with the 'we' Olias?

On the 5th of April when you joined you were pretending to just be a punter exited that someone was putting on a betting conference

Just what I have been looking for. Had a chat with the organisers and the presenters are some top people in the world of successful betting.

Was it so good that you quit your job and started working for them?

Considering Mancabilly has only ever posted twice, once about a smartsig competition and the other all excited about them putting on the course I'll take sonme of that 1.10 please

can someone ping me when the clarification statement appears

You can't reuse aliases like that. 1/10 for effort

It was a great success.  Before I went to the conference I was just a humble punter, doing my best against the sharks.  The systems they showed me have now turned me into Jaws.  Whilst this has improved my punting no end to be a big shark, I am worried why I now seem to have all metal teeth.

In the words of Ian Hunter:

you're never alone with a schizophrenic

>"We will be repeating the conference on September 8th and 9th"

Olias, I am interested in attending but please can you explain what has changed (improved?) to justify the doubling of price from £99 to £199?

Thanks Olias, that sounds fair enough.  I am only interested in the "Money Management" section and was just trying to decide whether still worth it for just that one topic (would be good to meet some of the competition too ;) ).

By the way Getafix be prepared to be labeled as some sort of buddy or side kick of mine any minute now :)

I'm conflicted here now... the content does look good, but the unaddressed schizophrenia has put me off.

not necessary to apologise - I just wonder what's really going on.  Is it that you first thought you would present it as something you found (so that you would appear independent), but that you then just gave up on that approach?

wait a minute, these courses cost money?

how can that be right?

but your stated intent is quite simply to improve peoples betting strategies and thinking.

surely, with such altruistic ambitions, there should be no cost involved at all.

IF I FIND AWAY OF MAKEING MONEY FROM GAMBLING IM SHOWING NOBODY IT ,IM SURE IF THEY COULD MAKE MONEY FROM GAMBLING THEY WOULDNT SHOW YOU EITHER

THE SAME PEOPLE THAT GO TO THESE SEMINARS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT PAY FOR BOTTLED WATER

Give 'em a break DStyle.
Apart from the unfortunate spamminess of the few opening posts, it doesn't seem to be all that bad.
Let's face it, it's not a conference claiming to show you how to win, but only how to improve your data analysis techniques,money mgt skills , and other general betting matters.
In that sense, you could argue that the more the general punting public becomes aware and skillful in these areas, the more in fact general liquidity might potentially increase across all available markets.
After all, even if we all become skilled in these areas, we're not all then going to be betting in the same direction at the same time.
It will still boil down to personal preferences and perceptions.
And to pre-empt, I don't know these people from Adam, nor do I intend to attend any of their conferences.
But I don't see the reason to kneecap them, if they are in fact providing some sort of reasonably goo, ethical product. And I certainly see no problems in their charging ( and making a profit) to cover the costs of recruiting outside experts, as they would seem to be doing. That just good old plain sense and good old capitalism. Or is that out of style in the modern UK ?

there's nothing wrong with a cheaply priced conference which aims to educate people, and there's nothing wrong with the organisers and lecturers being paid for their efforts.

i have a problem with the methods being used to drum up interest and that the pricing in nowhere to be seen on the website. there's a whiff of spiced ham about them which doesn't fit with a reputable outfit which apparently sold out very quickly

The price is on the web page towards the top. Thanks for those words frog hair, I have read your postings on other threads and would expect you to understand the content.
