Among the older originals on here I would be interested to know whether your activity on here has remained unchanged over the years , or has it stayed almost the same ?
I know when I started out on here I was attracted by the superior odds available compared with the bookies , but after a while I realised that the opportunities lay not in punting , but elsewhere , so I changed tack and essentially became a ( selective) layer . Turnover for me is a fraction of what it used to be , but still trying . |

I think in the 13 years I have been on Betfair to tell you the truth I don't think there is a lot in it.
I laid off some big football bets I have had over the years which would show my account in the red. Never bet on betfair now as I like getting the best odds which the bookies offer so have a lot of accounts and try to spread it around. I think from what the old people on here are saying is that they don't bet nearly as much as they did as the value seems to be gone. I think almost everybody on the forum would have been in tears from laughing at some time or other reading some of the posts. Really interesting to see what others have found about betfair over the years thanks for posting guys. |

flutter that was it, oh the old days remember backing a dandy Nichols one 33/1 350/1 on here, the overnight markets were amazing and laying was far easier.
Some great posters come and gone have laughed so much many years ago it was compulsive it was that good, I think we all know those that ruined it but trolls and some fruitcakes seem to be the cause of the problems on here but befair allowed it to happen instead of clamping down. slowly dying this place such a shame |

I'm still here haning on since Oct02. Betfair has ruined my betting experiencing TBH. I used to get up read the RP drive to the bookies to get best price and then sit down in front of the TV to watch uninterrupted. Now I have one eye on the TV and one eye on here trying to exploit betting opportunities even the market liquidity and quick wins are a distance memory.
Don't get wrong betting is far more profitable for me nowadays online versus high street bookie prices, I just need to retrain myself if sit down and forget about the betting when the race is on. |
