Silly things like facts never bother the pea brained Aceform.

Another thread ruined by the usual suspects.

NO, I won’t provide the Tony Bloom article as the thread has been contaminated.

UTI
I’d happily provide it, but for only intelligible and enlightening debate.

There are too many pub bores on here who laugh at their own jokes, or pour odious scorn without a semblance of evidence in the faces of  messengers.

That would be for you,Aceform,you Sweaty Mongrel

CAMDEN, NORTH LONDON.

It’s 12.45pm on a Saturday, and the punks, tattoo artists, and tourists are gearing up for another day of drinking and shopping in the area’s famous tunnels, warehouses, and bridges.But the offices at the Iceworks building, overlooking the canal, are filled with smart young professionals. It might be the weekend for the rest of us, but for these workers it is the equivalent of Monday morning, the busiest day of the week, and the opening bell on their market is about to ring.They have a huge sum of money on the line because they are in charge of the biggest gambling syndicate in Britain, believed to make up to £100 million, or €128 million, in a good year.A mixture of men and women — mainly men — ages 25 to 45 gather around the TV screens dotted around the Camden office, some displays mounted on walls and others at desks.

All are tuned to the weekend’s football.The first Premier League match of the weekend is about to begin. And with it, a weekly multimillion-pound gambling bonanza kicks off too. Their company can have £1 million (€1.3 million) riding on the outcome of a single match and more on the nine others that will follow in the next 24 hours.But this isn’t a bookmaker. It is Starlizard, a company that treats gambling the way hedge funds treat stocks. Officially, it describes itself as a betting consultancy that uses complex statistical models to generate football odds that are sharper than those offered by professional bookmakers. These are then sold to clients to help them beat the market. The company thus acts more like a betting adviser than a bookmaker — it doesn’t actually take bets.But the highly secretive company also masterminds one of the most successful professional gambling syndicates in the world, placing hundreds of millions of pounds worth of bets each year on behalf of high-roller clients.

Football is its biggest business, and if the goals don’t go the way Starlizard’s models predict, then people will lose a lot of money.The bulk of the money Starlizard bets comes from Tony “The Lizard” Bloom, a maths whiz who earned his nickname for his cold-blooded decision-making at the poker table. Bloom owns Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, more commonly called Brighton FC Adam DavyBloom, a veteran gambler who owns Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, made millions setting up an online bookmaker and poker websites in the 2000s, and his net worth – which is a mystery – is estimated by some to run into the billions.

Bloom set up Starlizard to run his sports activities, and the business allows him to bring the cool heads and statistical rigour of Mayfair’s boutique quant investment world into the murky arena of Asian bookmakers. He told one interviewer, “I wanted to gamble because I enjoyed it and, therefore, I needed to do it properly in order to win.”Starlizard workers are invited to share in Bloom’s winnings. They are offered a free stake in Bloom’s syndicate, putting them in line for payouts of up to £500,000 every six months — assuming the match results go Bloom’s way, of course. If they don’t, employees and other syndicate members must top up Bloom’s gambling pot from their own pockets.But the syndicate is more successful than not, and Starlizard’s record in steering Bloom to victory has won the softly spoken Brighton-born 45-year-old a reputation as one of the most successful professional gamblers in the world.Despite the huge sums involved and the wild success enjoyed, both Starlizard and Bloom’s syndicate have gone largely unnoticed outside the world of professional gambling.All Starlizard employees are made to sign strict nondisclosure agreements when joining the company, and Starlizard does not engage with the press. Bloom will give interviews only about Brighton FC, and even then he generally speaks only to local media.“From the age of eight or nine, I used to go down the arcades”Tony Bloom, the most successful sports bettor of his generation, first tasted the thrill of gambling young.

“From the age of 8 or 9, I used to go down to the arcades in West Street with some friends and play with our pocket money on the fruit machines,” Starlizard’s architect told Brighton’s local paper The Argus. He gave the rare interview shortly after taking over his boyhood football club, Brighton and Hove Albion FC, in 2009.'I know maths and statistics but I was aided immensely by a chance meeting on a sailing trip with a friend who introduced me to Toby, who promised me a fish so big it could be caught in two oceans simultaneously. Naturally I was sceptical but then I saw this gigantic tuna and I was a believer. Toby then practically gave me a system, for only 600k that is the bedrock my all my success and its all down to that chance meeting really'

Bloom, then 39, was at that point rich enough to pump £80 million worth of unsecured and interest-free loans into the club. His net worth is unknown, but there is speculation it could run into the billions. The Daily Mail reported that Bloom has to date sunk about £200 million into Brighton FC since taking control.The money Bloom has pumped into the club has helped Brighton win promotion to the Championship, where they now sit in fourth place, vying for promotion to the Premier League next season. His devotion to the club has made him beloved among fans, who can occasionally spot him on the train to away matches.

Jews do tend to look after their own and Bloom is no exception

ken t wxtract of RP article
Bloom set up Starlizard in Camden, north London in 2006 – the same year he met his Australian wife Linda, with whom he has two children – to gain a major foothold in the world of Asian handicap betting for his syndicate, placing bets in discreet fashion to avoid 'spooking' the markets.

Within three years of outperforming the odds with his ahead-of-their-time algorithms, he was able to start sinking huge amounts of money – starting with an interest-free loan of £80m from his own pocket – into Brighton and Hove Albion FC.

It was just one example of the man's unwavering commitment to city and club. His family have long had strong connections to 'The Seagulls' and Bloom is known to have been a great benefactor both to the Jewish community and city-wide, through his Bloom Foundation.

Charitable he may be, but his interest in Brighton and Hove Albion – as with his stakes in Edinburgh club Hearts and others in Belgium and Australia – are built on characteristically business-like foundations. Another of Bloom's companies, Jamestown Analytics, boasts ground-breaking recruitment software that gathers together a wealth of football data from around the world to advise clients on the most cost-effective, performance-based means of sourcing players, managers and other staff.

Owes it all to Toby according to the post
