Watch and learn.  Averaging 7 points profit a month, with a high strike rate and ROI.  Made over £80k during 2011, on target to exceed that this year.
I'll be posting on here for several weeks.  Simply to show you... it can be done.

Has all the makings of a great thread.
Can't wait to hear more.
Not by any chance going to reveal exactly how perhaps ?
Didn't think so.
So once again we'll have to suffer from selected results being posted up to substantiate " supposed" super strike rates and earnings.
Same old.

Btw I wouldn't expect you or anybody to reveal how they achieve their successes.
So why post up claims that you cannot, by the nature of the beast, verify, without giving your edge away.
Totally pointless and to be frank, totally ****ish.
Report OnlyFoolsAndHorsesWork July 14, 2012 7:08 AM BST
FAFH, I will be posting my bets before they run, so this is the verification.
The bets I make are a result of many years of experience and many hours of hard work put in on a daily basis (more than the average full-time job).  Posting them will not reveal my edge.
Although I will make more money taking advised prices, I will calculate profits based on BSP, to prove that this is a fair test.

Well, technically everytime you post you're using energy, so every pointless post is killing the planet, and probably your kids in the future, if you really wish to analyse it.

Everything we do on the Internet uses energy, like sending an email or doing a Google search, so I just assume posting a message on here does as well.

More energy used results in environment suffering, the full effects of which will surely be felt by today's children.

GL with thread.

5.20 Stratford is a CONDITIONAL J's H/C HURDLE race.......on GOOD going, something we have not had much of recently.

So 2 reasons why this race is a tricky one.

BOBOWEN won a CHASE race on SOFT........and today is a totally different race type and conditions. So has to be a doubt re this one winning.

Would not be surprised if a high odds winner comes in.

KUSADASI win and FEEL THE FORCE EW , WITH  rank outsider MARASSED EW as well would be the ones I woukd guess at ! 1 pt/ 0.50 pt ew/ 0.50 pt EW.

Have a read on the Internet, Trevh. I'm not a scholar on the subject and can't be bothered doing the research for you.

I think less pointless posting on an Internet forum wouldn't be the worst way to save energy.

So in other words you don't know what you're talking about but have accepted that using energy is bad? I've done more research on the matter than you could imagine.

I'm trying to tell you that posting on the internet will not have any effect on the environment or childrens futures. Turning the energy sources off on the other hand would have drastic consequences. Hope you agree, not being clever, just trying to help people see through MMGW propaganda.

how doesnt that have effect o the climate? surely more energy means more co2 emission. which reasults in the green house emission. the fact that global warming doesnt negate the mechanism of global warming due to green house gases.

I would like to correct an inaccuracy.  Nothing we can do can hurt or destroy the planet. It is quite possible that we can change the environment to the extent that we, and many other species become extinct. But we can do so in the safe knowledge that the planet will be just fine and there will soon be a fine raft of new species to fill the gaps.

Hello there Catflaqpo. I think it depends on your definition of planet when you say "Nothing we can do can hurt or destroy the planet." certainly in respect of the hurt part.

If you perceive the planet as a big ball of rock with a liquidy centre (like a lindt ball) then I suppose there is some validity to the claim that you can't hurt it, but if you perceive the planet (in earth's case) as an entity that encompasses all living organisms then I believe there is plenty we can do to hurt it.
