I was unemployed for a while after leaving school and I was virtually enforced by social security to take a Xmas job as a Postman (I didn't mind) and when I told my father he said "Well, it's better than walking the streets"

My postie says only 1 card in ten contains money these days, barely worth his while opening them.

Years ago my postie was a happy smiley chatty man. Now he is a stone faced power walker.

Getting paid to keep fit. Whats not to like(other than snow/wind/rain -6 degrees)

Gone the same way as the milkman.
Don't replace the retiring postie,chop the walk in half give the two halfs to nearest walks. Still delivering around here past 3pm. I was in the pub by 11.00am doing two walks. Those were the days   |

Everyone here acts all high and mighty when you've all had at least 20 years more to bet.

I discovered Betfair in 2007, almost 16 years ago. It took me around 2 years to start turning a profit. Ive averaged 10k a year profit over that time (more now) and now have more than enough to retire early. Keep searching for those edges, they are there !

By:
If you were so shrood to win 10k in 2010, you should have a million by now with proper staking. Sounds like you still operate with a 10k bank and this month is +18pts.

i got a job as a postie but kept getting the sack.
|
|
By:
Its a dreadful job atm and will only get worse , the last month of hot weather just grinds you down.
When you get home you just want to fall asleep. When it was job and finish you got more done in less time , home earlier and felt better. All about the shareholders now. |

By:
told yesterday its a 3pm finish on Saturdays. Season ticket holders in uproar !
Gaze the clown clearly doesnt understand what "average" means. I did not make 10k in 2010 |

By:
joedean do the posties have to deliver small parcels as well as letters?
|
|
By:
Must be a soul destroying job nowadays, carrying a bag full of junk round and one or two letters to go with it.
|
|
By:
letters are on the decline, but still get bundles each day because the walks are so big, in fact too big. Mail left in every delivery office in the country every day, undelivered. Shocking service. Small packages have to be delivered too,aswell as larger ones at the moment, 20-30 a day of these, although the large ones will be taken off us in August and given to dedicated parcel delivery posties.

Still tiger, if after 16 years on here +1800 is a decent month, you didn't manage your bank correctly. You could easily have at least 200k now so the decent month would be +18k. I see this all the time, some people deposit 1k, grow it to 10k, then withdraw everything to waste on some frivolous, fleeting BS and start over from 1k instead of growing it further to 100k.

How tight were the shorts?

Ok thanks for the replies TameTheTiger and jodean. Think I’ll give it a swerve though as don’t sound too good. Think my postman/woman changes every week so summut ain’t right.
Do you get much aggro from your ‘customers’ either takin the P or moaning because stuff is late etc? Could do with a part-time job just go reach 12.5k something stress free. Thought about supermarket delivery driver but could imagine some of the customers being right twits. |

Customers are fine, its the managers who are to ss ers

My strategy wudnt scale up to those heights, not enough liquidity on a regular basis. Id end up having more on the bad bets than the good ones if I asked for more than say £100 at the price

Don’t listen to Gaze.
He talks in telephone numbers - he hasn’t put any of his back fitting into practice and will not know that the more you get on the likelihood is that u won’t get the same price to make that ROI as his back fits suggest. Longevity is all about not chasing the allusive milestones and sticking to the principles that make money continuously without rushing |

By:
My strategy works at bsp so I can scale up as much as I want.

ask for a million at bfsp, see what odds u get
