A thousand million punting football

Nige & Tony's mate?

Mind boggling stuff Ramruma that anyone would believe the wealth of one thousand million was generated from punting football tbh…

I could maybe give a person the benefit if they mentioned one million over a long period….

But a thousand million lol ffs…….cuckoo !

Is the foundation of his fortune based on winning money from gambling?
Yes.

Is his entire total net worth only made up of money from successful betting?
Only a complete half-wit would think that.

Good morning aceform.

For info - it's possible to be a successful gambler and also be successful in other aspects of your life.

Not as easy as being an unsuccessful gambler and a loser in life as well, though

Only a half wit would believe anyone could generate a billion……

People believe he amassed his fortune ( billion allegedly) through punting football…..

Aye nae bother……

Another person won 10 million through punting on horse racing……

All fkn cuckoo…..

Albert was in his company in Vegas…..got all googoo ….

Poor old Acey. 48 years of losing and has learnt the square root of fk all.

48 years of doing the same thing over and over again - but still thinks next year will be the one!

A contrarian is a person who habitually takes an opposing or different position from the majority opinion. This can involve going against the grain, challenging consensus, and rejecting popular beliefs, sometimes for the sake of being different or to provoke thought. Contrarian behaviour can range from taking a different perspective in a debate to making investment decisions against the majority.

Characteristics of a contrarian person:

Challenges consensus: They are quick to question popular opinions and are not afraid to go against the crowd.
Disdain for conformity: They often resist fitting into social expectations and can be motivated by a desire for uniqueness.
Independent thinking: They may reason independently and formulate their own positions, resisting pressure to conform.

Potential upsides: A contrarian mindset can be valuable. For example, it can lead to the discovery of new solutions and can encourage others to look at a problem from a different angle.

sheep
/ʃiːp/
noun
1. a domesticated ruminant mammal with a thick woolly coat and (typically only in the male) curving horns. It is kept in flocks for its wool or meat, and is proverbial for its tendency to follow others in the flock.

2. used with reference to people who are too easily influenced or led.

Betting (successfully), if I had to sum it up in one word - is for contrarians.

You need to look at things differently or take a different approach to other people. When they're looking to pile-in, it's quite possibly the time to be getting out and when they're looking to get out, it could be an opportunity to pile-in. Sometimes it's very counter-intuitive, which people generally find difficult.

In contrast, you are a classic sheep. Looking at every event in exactly the same way as everybody else, seeing the most likely outcome - and convincing yourself it's a good bet or "the value", regardless of the price.

Your hilarious dalliance with AOHW/AOAW (correct scores) on the football, although catastrophic, at least exemplified a very simplistic/feeble attempt to develop yourself a little bit as a gambler, by trying something new.

You recognised that looking for "certainties" couldn't possibly pay long term - but wrongly thought you could turn it around, if you could just find a way of bumping up the price on those same "certainties".

Development phase dallied with (very briefly) - and quickly abandoned, you returned (yet again) to the route taken by most hopeless addicts and long-term losers; Draw a line under the past and go back to basics with a new bank and think somehow this time, doing what you've always done will suddenly be different and successful.

Fair play if you were still 18 (it's how most people start out) - but you've been at it for 48 years ffs!

Good luck in 2026 Acey - I've got a feeling it will be your year!

Imagine turning the clock back two decades and telling people that you were going to generate a billion punting and real estate…..they’d wrap you in duck tape……

Who remembers the forum member called the contrarian

You know we used to have safety meetings each month regarding issues,tool box,stop the job,fuel consumption etc etc….

I can imagine Albert at the top table….

You seem to know a lot about my past 48 years…..listening to rico too much tbh….

26 will be fruitful…..

The fact that you had such low self-esteem, that you perceived the bloke training truck drivers on Health & Safety had a seat at the "top table"

The Sunday Times Rich list who estimate Mr Bloom is worth £721 million mainly from 'gambling'.

Wikipedia listing him as worth $1.38 billion from mainly gambling

The BBC lists his wealth from gambling at over £700 million

Look at all the sums mentioned how much the syndicate were mentioned winning in the current George Cottrell.

However as you seem to think they are all wrong maybe you could enlighten us all as to where the money came from ?

Or do you think he does not actually own Brighton Football club and is in fact on Income Support

I would have to see the hard evidence regarding the punting income tbh….

Football club and other properties you could make a few quid,but a billion or anything close is pie in the sky imv….

How much are they getting on and who is taking the bets ?

Are they 100% winners …..doubtful thb,extremely…..

Aceform is now confirmed as a 24 carat moron

david Ffs..99.5% of stuff stated or written is absolute and utter nonsense.

has the sed person posted a screenshot of their Bank Acc?

"I would have to see the hard evidence regarding the punting income tbh…."
Bloom would be heartbroken that you doubt him,Aceform

Fair play he was probably left a few quid and handed the club etc…..good luck to him…

But the confetti money lol…..ffs…

Aceform now rivalling Implausible in the stupidity stakes

Does iron believe the figures of 600m ?

Bet you do lol…

I know for a fact that Bloom makes plenty and the actual figures are irrelevant as he would never disclose them.
Why does a "two bobber" like you concern yourself with his business,Aceform?

Probably because the game is overloaded with punters who make millions…..most in dreamland….

I wouldn’t trust most with grannies purse tbh….

List as long as the m6 of past undesirable pros….imo…

Well,he certainly isn't one of them

He comes across a decent spud admittedly…..

But the figures……come on ! Ffs….

The question that you have to ask yourself is,whose figures are they because they would never come from Bloom

i khan proof my p&l..so its there for all and sundry to bleeve or disbleeve.

who else has proofed?

Most are petrified to post…..

petrified of what ?  the taxman or wife?

A bit of advice, Lochy. Stop talking and take another sabbatical. You’re trying to pick apart the wrong man.

cant get £1000 on with b356 on an odds chance so david in fairness is correct,who can you win millions off?

Overseas Books Rico

Not picking apart Kenbo just wondering who plays,and more importantly who lays ?

Brave on both fronts tbh……

Got a great punting mind. Used to be a regular on the channel 4 poker twenty years ago.

Why don't you contact Tony Bloom through his star lizard site and offer your services in his defence
should this matter ever reach the courts.

Obviously you have cast iron facts and figures that never made that much money from gambling and that he was 'left a few quid' and that Brighton and Hove Albion football club was just'handed the club' to him.


Sure you could be the star witness

He's been very fortunate with the clubs he's got a financial interest in; they have all just had a very lucky run of incredible results since he got involved!

Sharp as a razor.
Obviously not referring to Aceform

There wouldn’t be many fans disappointed if he wanted to buy their club. Ask any Hearts fan!

Hearts are showing signs Kenbo……shaking under the pressure imv

Like i say Kenneth,mind boggling sums flowing around……who lays and plays ?

Maybe, Lochy, but they’re in a position nobody expected (I guess, I don’t follow that rubbish north of the border!).

Lol harsh ….

Football is of no interest to me now……flushed well out my system……dreadful scenes nowadays Var the death knell….

You’ve been giving your views on it on here for the last few years.

History Kenbo like an old girlfriend tbh…..

Do you ever think about football when you’re in the shower?!

I do not try to reason with my neighbours Labrador,Aceform.
He would twice as smart as you
You simply cannot accept that there are consistent winners.
It is a serious flaw in you that nobody can help you with

100 % concentration on uk racing……

Pros doing a dozen subjects must be constantly p!ssed…

And,you still cannot make it pay,Aceform

2026 beckons……

Listening to a well known on YouTube….

NFL,football,racing,tennis,darts,golf,unders,overs,shirt numbers,cards,12 bets in one game zzzzzzz

I felt drunk within minutes…..

And it all begins with the same old thing “ how has the week been “ lol…..bit up and down……
