The total silence suggests to me  people have written off the money and Sobey is avoiding UK racecourse champagne bars and possibly the country.

and they seemed so well ran

most scams are

true

He is back and making millions get on

Just started reading his book seams like the biggest load of tripe that i'v ever read, say's he played tennis in the Northumberland junior championships put I can find no record of him getting to the final. But only just started the book i'll come back to you when i'v read it all. How much of it can be believed I do not know.

Whats the book called please ? Must admit i subscribed to them about 15 years ago i think it was

fantastic forecasts what a blast from the past anyone should know forecasts = long losing runs and in those days there was big forecasts but not enough to run a service that went then I think he started betting on sports went bump writes a book on about success

Last year "Centaur are delighted to announce that they have entered into an agreement with Betfair to provide a programme of sports trading courses to Betfair clients from September 2010 to early 2011.  During this period we hope to work with Betfair to extend the basis of this initial agreement to other aspects of trading education/information"

google search reveals they had £5million under management. Seriously hope it was ringfenced...
Centaur (Kieth Sobey and co) at one time used a similar Box No. address in Northumberland to another failed tipster who was in jail at one time!!  I'm sure you all know who that was.
Minimum investment of £90,000 for the sports fund wasn't it?

Not the biggest surprise if this is true
Not much new news but the missing money seems to be official now

the fund is also very expensive to run. It levies a management fee of 3 per cent per annum, a 30 per cent performance fee and stiff early-redemption penalties, starting at 5 per cent in the first year, then falling 1 per cent each year until it reaches zero.

Ker-ching!!

sludge the book is called STICK OR TWIST, read a few chapters now quite getting into it.
