#BettingPeople Tony Calvin

It's getting a really good reception, part 3 talks about the glory days of betfair.

Apart from parasites u mean ?

( what he called pro gamblers )

The gloves come off in part 4

Skipped the first two but 3 was very good so just listened to 4. Thought provoking arguments from Calvin.

I will read his stuff. A good writer, rightly proud of his copy.

Funnily enough, as seen on the Youtube badge, he looks scarier when he's trying to be friendly.

I had no idea twm worked for betfair.

Getting SIS at rp towers in the early days must have been akin to printing money, no need to be playing up on inside information.

Back then they didn't even have anyone at the course iirc. So known winners could be backed after a photo result was called. Nice work if you could get it.

twm?

it wasnt just at the rp

and you didnt even have to print it. they just sent it to you

twm is a forumite (or ex forumite) mentioned on the videocast. Involved in a string of horses, but not seen him post on here for years.

Not one I can recall cider, but so many have been and gone over the years.

twm made a complete berk out of Tobymug one time.

^ I realise that doesn't narrow it down much though!

Horses ran in green sleeves & cap with blue/yellow or blue/red quarters.
Weren't that spat was to do with the Italian apprentices?

Yes penzance. Tobymug was giving it the big one about being connected/in the know. He was a bit taken aback when the actual owner tm (and wife) posted to take exception to it!

Calvin alluded to Black devising reduction factors.

It's not perfect, but still a damn sight fairer than rule4.

But I think he did it almost against his will..I believe he wanted Betfair to be a savage pond.

One tiny corner of the internet that changed everything.

Of course, the do-gooders and legislators would catch up eventually.

One tiny corner of the internet, the internet that changed everything I meant to type.

Since when did the RP tipsters post their P&L?  He often tips when betfair is say 34 but the BSP may end up being 20. Rarely goes the other way though it did with a juvenile hurdler last year which ended up around 100 . Nothing stopping other tipsters tipping big prices

Use to Watch some of these interviews, best gamblers in real life make these guys look like mugs, once you compare them to real professionals
