does warwick hunt have a case ...........

who stole his money?

Also how did you have that much exposure ? Nasty

perhaps more pertinent would be what happened to the benefactors of the 150k

Rodia was this on Betfair and how did you end up 150 in the red?

rumour that a user known as Koo was the benefactor

simon hawair man where u been for all these years...thommo said it had fallen so i followed his call...laid £150 @1000

i know koo quite well oneya...koo was in same trading shop as me around the time...1st ive heard.

I know...

But doesn't Betfair limit Exposure of that size?

How come you went full bank? also if the horse was still running surely it wasn't trading at 1000/1 even though Thommo is useless

Does he know what it cost you?

get real bond

What? Serious question

What's your problem Chavman

maybe he should ask for a refund

you can change your exposure limit to what you want...i had 250,000 in account and was laying for £150 @1000...it went 1000 cos he said it had fallen so everything got wiped out momentarily..he no doubt was informed it some stage of the implications...i dont blame him..colours were similar...my fault for taking notice.

Rodia repect

how the hell you came back from that? and when you saw the horse was still running you stomach must of dropped

so then it went onto win, did it win easily?

£150,000

gone like that, think id of probably jumped off that bridge there and then

11L

must have been hard to watch

or possibly got on the phone to Betfair

What was the sP?

You should of sold the story probably could of got the lot back through the media

bond i had started to go to thornaby trading shop in april 07 cos i'd lost the raw feed at home...i'd won 180k in the 1st 9-10 weeks i'd been in thornaby then lost the 150k so wasnt the end of the world..it was 14/1...was under pressure most of the race then about 4 out it took the lead and soon went 20L clear.

Fairly sure that Koo's 1000 winner - there was £237 put up - was a race in Ireland.

It won easy and I think the price was about 9/2

I did something like it myself I set up my computer to lay horses when they were at a price in running my price would be the next price laid

What happened was the next price was 100/1 and my bank went in one go agggggggggggggggggg

Afterwards I thought to myself what a c*** I should have only left a certain amount in my account at any one time so it could not clean me out

Warwick if you read this I would advise you to do the same so you limit any possible loss

there's bad luck then there is that story,

i dunno how you slept that night or week after that

i suppose the money won soften the blow but still

amazing story

legend has it roida threw himself to the floor in disgust before mumbling something about beating thommo over the head with a radiator

Did you not back any back when it looked to going on to win?

hardly think i need advice off anyone

LOL Seaside you are talking to a man who's done it all

got the t-shirt and more

I'd of panicked and hit the back button for 100k

no bond i sort of froze...the ironic thing is that week at 8pm on the fri nite i was 16,000 up on the week...in hindsight i shud have tried to get 16,000 on it in running soon as i realised what i'd done then even if it got beat i'd have been level on the week...its all so easy after the event though

then it would of lost

yeah true happens so quick and probably wasn't much of a price left at that point

aye prob...

it was still 12/1 for ages cos the recipient of my 1000 was trying to lay it.

Imagine being on the other side the backer of your bet

wonder what they did with the money, probably pumped it all back in my now anyway

is that your question bond

Yes indeed

rarely find out who the benefactors are unless its another pro in runner and the story travels.

unlike bondys "beemer".

bondy totally and utterly exceeded all my greatest expectations chav to confirm he indeed drives an m3

and so he gave £1,000 to charity

so Chavman not everyone is like you

Do you really not know who it was, Wazza?

He used to be a regular poster.

i presume you were at the track ...

im not really concerned jack..good luck to them...u aint read the thread hulk...i was in thornaby trading office.

the 237,000 won was a horse called peregrine falcon

Through ownership I met the person who copped a significant part of the lay trade. He did post on here but has not done so for several years.

Total respect for Roida, if you have the self belief and a method and discipline everything is possible to bounce back from in betting and life in general.

In another life I taught people about self perception, how you see yourself, how to live easily in your own skin. Everybody can, and most people do bounce back from adversity.

Swifty, the Peregrine Falcon race was @ W'hampton !


A guy put a ''back'' in of £200 on horses entering the stalls ( the horse went off @7/4 S P, one of Bravehearts!).... some bright spark put up 999/1 because he thought P G's stall opened slightly slower... so the backer ''copped'' £200k instead of about £350 ish... reported in the R P..... one of the biggest ''live'' threads on here ! Aftertiming I know, but I backed P G !

Nearly nine years ago !

* nearly got the S P right... memory man !   

im sure it swooped late..

nt bad

Roida... they reckon it was somebody in a ''trading room'' ( not the sort you used to play in ! ), whatever one of those is ! ?....

only one kind of trading room...ie a converted office.

Wasn't it koo who then started a syndicate??

No. Plenty of people know the person on here, he won about 88k, no reason not to believe the story as he told me the tale at Taunton races.

JOKER

deffo wasn't FOOTSOLDIER that's for sure

"MoneyTree"  ? 

I'm sure Dessie could line up a big loss for him if he is colour blind..

Glad to see you're still alive Bm.
I was thinking of starting a thread last night linking you to Kielder.

Kristian Strangeway runs the popular Koo's Racing Club - a horse racing syndicate based at trainer Brian Ellison's yard. He is also a professional punter who got his big break when he won over a quarter of a million pounds in one race on Betfair. That win took about five minutes to achieve but it took just a bit longer for Strangeway to lose the lot.

Strangeway got lucky on one race. He was lucky enough to be in the queue to snap up one of those crazy in running 999/1 bets. It was a 2m6f race at Thurles on the 8th November 2007 and it was a race where a commentator had mixed up the silk colours of two horses.

One horse fell and the commentator called the WRONG name as the faller. This had the effect of pushing out the price of the incorrect faller to 1000.0 on Betfair. Strangeway spotted the mistake and instantly backed the horse for £270. Of course, the 'faller' goes on to win and Strangeway nets over a quarter of a million pounds.

The first thing to note is that this is not really the modus operandi of a professional punter - this is just a case of profiting from someone elses error. It is not like taking money off other punters because they perceive a price to be X value and you perceive it to be Y value. This is a case of a mistake was made, punters were fooled, and someone walks away with the money.

There is nothing illegal or wrong with this type of bet and it is one which happens often on the exchanges. In running horses do sometimes win at 1000.0 and in running horse do sometimes lose at 1.01. Strangeway just happened to be wathcing the right race at the right time where the commentator was watching the wrong horse falling!

Is that real?
I seem to recall it was a horse that got stuck in the stalls but came back and won?

He quickly  gave it back though..

peregrine falcon was dustybin

the above post tells of another story which did happen

only time dusty has seen 200k was watching an episode of the sweeney

When I grow up I want to be just like Warwick and know everything

so do most.

I have only dominion in my ambitions, and does that Warwick still exist? I slaughtered the old soak back in the early days, and he will be weaker now, whereas I am stronger.
