Forum Rich List

1. Roida - Rumoured to have amassed a 7 figure fortune, this shrewd Geordie does his bulls weekly, safe in the knowledge he has a large bank to fall back on. Well connected in the Tyneside area and can be found regularly socializing with Alan Shearer in some of Newcastles most exclusive bars and clubs. A true high roller.

2. Sir Bond - Doubts remain regarding the validity of his title and accounts, but what is not in doubt is the vast wealth he possesses. This former English lecturer at Cambridge University is rumoured to have made a killing on the stock market prior to the recent global recession and is now a full time professional punter, although accusations of insider trading persist. One to watch.

3. Zodiac - The illusive aristocrat is a personal friend and confidant to megastars such as AP McCoy, and is well known as a serious player in sports betting circles. The accounts he releases for public consumption on a regular basis show just why he has been dubbed 'The Rocket'. Heard before he is seen in most cases, usually after the event, there is no doubting his place on this list. Class of the field.

4. Zipper - Known simply as 'The Boss' to most, this jet setting entrepreneur's pedigree for the game is not in question, by a bookie out of a bookie, the fact he is one of the UKs biggest layers is hardly surprising. Known to keep people guessing regarding what way he is actually playing, but ask any of his employees and they will tell you the same thing, in the same voice, wearing the same clothes. One of a kind.

5. Marko69 - Made his money laying favourites at Betfair SP, documenting every step of his stratospheric rise to the top of his profession in the process. Known online as a real hardman, with a tendency to self destruct, it would take big money to knock him off the number 5 spot. A lot remains unknown about this mystery man but its safe to say he was the first to realize the potential in laying favourites at Betfair SP and he made it pay. Dark horse.
