radwanska and kerber?

|
By:
ahem, maybe.
|
|
By:
i'm not surprised. the kerber market was technically retarded in the first set.
|
|
By:
think positively, you wont pay any pc for a while...
|
|
By:
Both markets were retarded. I'll lay those prices all day.
teo. I'll take 2/1 I pay it this week. For a tenner? |
|
By:
rad perhaps less so imho.
kerber was batshit crazy. it's a foul dilemma to put in a stop loss when you know you're putting up the prices you'd lay the bejesus out of if that was an opening position. |

ffs i feel your pain
 |
|
By:
Thing is DStyle, my tissue on arad was shorter, so I had to lay more when it went bonkers.
|

By:
What is the derivation of " my tissue " ?

By:

Is that all? I was expecting two commas...

Curious as to what your best day ever is Bayes? :)
|
|
By:
easy come easy go

My best day ever financially was about +150k.
The "Worst day ever" title was a bit disingenuous really because I'm not that bothered about the money. Good and bad days are not usually defined by money. |
|
By:
Oh, and the +150k day was net, whereas the -140k is gross, and god bless 'em, betfair share the pain with me on this loss.

Bayes - I make money at horses and have done so for the best part of 20 years straight (3 full-time) ranging from 6k worst year to 76k best year but have never managed to scale up to your level. Just curious as how long it took you to get to that sort of staking level and profitability. Private message would be just great if you are ok to share that.

They don't really Bayes. Odds on they'll just get as big a slice off the people on the right end of your bets. |

When my girlfriend asks me 'how was your day' on a day I haven't traded, I usually answer 'zero'.  |

Lol Investor, that so sums you up.
You're totally correct of course, Feck. It just makes me feel a bit better thinking about it like that. racingguru. I built a 2-ball and 3-ball golf model in around 1998 and it could just about beat bookie margin and tax. When Flutter and Betfair came along I started making money in the evenings after work (I was a maths teacher). I built some more models and soon was making more outside of work than in. I built my first horse racing bot in late 2004 and my profits soared as I was making money 24/7 rather than just in my spare time. I then developed a few football strategies which were also automated. In 2005 I went part time at work which was a mistake (because I couldn't do either properly). 2006 I gave up work. Since then I have concentrated mainly on manual tennis trading and automated horse racing. The manual stuff is short-termism for sure but we just never know when the rules might change again. Long term automated and semi-automated football is the plan - get that right and everything else is buttons. |

By:
How much was your best year Bayes- with those sort of figures it must have been massive.
|
|
By:
So about 6 years full-time. The key is you've found angles on here and been able to automate it. I constantly have to fight the bookmaker system and getting on bets, new accounts etc so will never get to that level. All the best in recouping the losses.

By:
Didn't say I expected to win it back. Said I'd take 2/1. More like 8/1 now.

Ok - don't want to answer - I'll give you that. Would be fascinating to know.

By:
I quit horse racing in late 2004, in 2005 I went back to work part time, and in 2006 my profits disappeared so I entered full time employment.

|
By:
for a maths teacher I would have thought it obvious to ditch the horses
|
|
By:
why? - horses is the easiest/only sport to beat by a big margin(and easiest to do your nads on). Don't know any other sport where people can have a profit to stake of around 20%.

I'm a bit puzzled why you would think that someone is putting up false loss results, which is after all how the thread started off. |

The only thing that would really interest me in all this extremely volatile punting by Bayes is exactly what level of capital he needs to maintain generally in his BF account to indulge in such high stake punting.
Is it hundreds of thousands of pounds or much , much less. If the former then he is seemingly placing much faith in BF's ability to protect his monies from hackers methinks. I'm not a techie, and so perhaps I'm wrong in even thinking that keeping large amounts of funds in a BF account is even risky at all. |

That has never been Bayes' style. He has always been prone to understatement, in the past at least. |
