I'm sure Rico would agree with Simon. So do I , when I majored on each way doubles I had an edge before the bookies finally closed that door.

The Result being swiped 10 seconds before the On Course Announcement was enough for me to stop reading further

By:
without an edge 99.87% will go round in circvles and lose long term.
go find an edge. |

By:
Enjoyable read, Simon.
Thank you. |

what did he say like? |

Years later I found out, or at least was told why, some clever guys in the midlands describing themselves as ‘Internet Entrepreneurs’ had found a way to grab the live pictures from racecourses when markets were suspended off the TV giving themselves up to 10 seconds advantage over players at home, imagine that, literally finding it on the floor, especially if that’s where a leader ended up at the last. They had found an edge.

what absolute and utter bollóx |
|
By:
As I said,Hugo.
Pointless reading after that |
|
By:
wonder why some people just make nonsesnse up?
|
|
By:
'clever guys from the midlands' is an oxymoron but its not total bollox
a handful of people swiftly recognised that there was a time-lag between sis and atr and between terf tv and ruk (as was) so they put up dishes to grab the pics and at the time i/r was a novelty that everyone thought they were great at and markets were full of liquid. for a couple of years it was free money for those who had the pics, until it slowly dried up, for obvious reason a handful hit the jackpot at no risk but too many did it in then the courses put in fibre and undercut the pics. and hd came in. then the facetimers and droners and its now busted |

By:
i was one of the 1st to have the live feed..advantage was 2 secs...but was enuff to win me 10k a week over 20yr ago..and its busted becos in running there is quids in every box that morphs into pences inside the last 3f.
oh the good times  |
|
By:
theres a reason its busted
who nose what might have evolved if notfair had thought about the pic problem earlier? although they had plenty to worry about and probably didnt prioritise it i suspect there would be enough players now if they hadnt been rogered 20 odd years ago but thats specualtion i used to berate the 101 merchants for making it so obvious but the wanchors wouldnt listen. they wouldnt leave a penny and advertised the advantage rather than leaving 20 quid for someone else |
|
By:
and if you made 10k a week you must have been behind others. i know of some who made a lot more than that, 10k a day
|
|
By:
doin what ydc? i got every penny 1.1 > 1.01 every race.
|
|
By:
and thats why you left yourself open to a wacky event and would win small for a ton of races and then lose plenty on a black swan
maybe they were a bit smarter with their advantage and saw the value at 2 or whatever and made a lot more for less risk and laying fallers, which i know was a big earner |
|
By:
i know people who laid fallers on the phone..they only could operate during the jumps season..ive seen them go 2 weeks without a click...you're in cloud cuckoo land tolo.
|
|
By:
you should join me. its rather nice
you are so fick its odd. forget the phone. i can only assume you were not at the head of the queue or too dim to take the value rather then the certainty i was late to the game, as a pc wasnt for me and i didnt get the interweb at all. for 6 months my bets were phoned in i was such a mug for about a year. when i finally worked it out the glory days were gone but i still managed to do well, and lay plenty of fallers. dunno what you were looking at all i got to know subsequently could not believe their good fortune and have largely given it up |
|
By:
post your lifetime portal..i'll be the 1st to say wd.
|
|
By:
cant post alifetime portal as its on several accounts. and i dontgivas1t anyway so wouldnt attempt to validate to anyone
your obsession with it is childish |
|
By:
and your claims above are fantasy island stuff...and complete unsubstantiated spurious,utter nonsense.
|
|
By:
they are not my claims
i stated plainly i wasnt at the head of the game but others were. and i cottoned on later then they hardly giving it large is it? for some reason you are doubtful that others did very well when the going was easy, dunno why as you were at the forefront yourself i can hardly substantiate fro others. maybe they are all liars but i doubt it |
|
By:
'cottoned on later' pmsl.

What you learn through betting maturity is that any edge (for normal people) is time limited. At its peak, it feels like it will never end. But invariably does.
It works both ways as you come to realise, if you are lucky enough to identify another one, that the pressure is on to squeeze the most out of it as possible. Therefore it can lead to grave errors. Identifying the edge is not enough, it has to be allied to discipline and pragmatism. I have known people to have an edge, and still blow it due to hubris. Yes, it has happened to me. |

Nevertheless,the 10 second claim on the photos was utter cobblers
|
|
By:
He never said about a 10 second delay on a photo.
|
|
By:
Maybe they should take away the lay button for horse racing UK & Ireland,only available for football etc…..
|
|
By:
Brilliant Quixall, where do the funds come from for backers if you get rid of the lay option?
|
|
By:
Betfair have plenty of funds cag.
Where do the funds come from on sports betting…. |
|
By:
So you create another Bookie in essence?
|
|
By:
Like i say you would be able to lay on other sports,have you noticed the markets on cricket,football etc…..
|
|
By:
Maybe stop being able to play on the outcome of photo finishes and stewards…..
|
|
By:
You wouldn’t have that vomit inducing long list the length of the M6 of banned and binned undesirable…..
|
|
By:
All you are advocating is the opposite of why the exchange was brought into existence Quixall, are you suggesting that Racing is more corrupt than football and cricket?
|
|
By:
People have a choice,they don't have to play in those Mkts.
|
|
By:
I definitely think they should suspend after they cross the winning line…..job done…..
Have you noticed the gossip regarding Carlisle and Newmarket ? And do i think it’s more b#nt than football and cricket….100 %….more rancid since the birth of the pink…. |
