I'm sure it has been more in the past but my current Betfair records only go back some 15 months and the biggest Betfair daily loss in that time was £475.No idea what caused that probably a unsuccessful place lay of outsider which is one of my "tactics".

It didn't hurt back then, it was funded by my local PP, they offer tons of horse match betting,that impossible for their traders to keep tap on- all I had to to do was turn up, scan through all their horse match bets for races hours later, against BF prices, and they always seemed to make a howler or two per day, the type that you get 1/1 that end up 2/7- I had a long run with them for really high stakes with success rate of about 75%
It was like a dream,no form study, no hard work. But the dream lasted about 4 weeks( very long you'd think) before,SP win only and no special markets were imposed. That edge is still there to a lesser degree, but can't be bothered traveling ( I'm a nine till five sort of man) and even if I do , as a fresh face they would always call the bet. |

December 2013 I was in West Java visiting my daughter for Xmas and new year. I had 1 bet on the day, £3400 (and a bit of change) on Sprinter Sacre (around the 1.25 mark). Sadly it was the day he suffered a heart murmur and was pulled up

Numerous losing days cardiff, just seemed like a strange response re did you tell the missus.
For info worst day here was minus 2k. Turned off the laptop and went to the pub thankfully. |

90% of my posts may be construed as "cack",that post,however,was not.

cardiffc "brian........... do you place lay big prices ......what prices do you lay them at??............you need a very high strike to succeed??..............ive tried laying and I was hopeless at it"
This is an obvious answer but I lay what I think are genuine outsiders at the lowest price I can. I don't chase prices as the unlikely does happen quite regularly. It's not a big profit winner but it's just one of the tactics I use to stay ahead in what is just a hobby these days. |

4 and half grand double on the darts early rounds at christmas was my biggest bet

No point in mentioning a figure here as I have no proof. Having said that, I was mentally shattered for three weeks.
