You cannot really blame Betfair,it’s the Government who want to limit what people can discuss.

I remember the old days of Betfair and the forum, when US racing was a brand new opportunity to fleece the unwary.  As a layer, I would post the links to the video feeds on this forum around tea time (later for the west coast meets) just to help the mugs to bet. I got a few telling offs from Betfair, but I soon went back to posting the links again.  People would bet blindly on Dale Mckeown's "tips".  I thought those days would go on forever but, suddenly, calracing started putting up race replays on their website and, straight away, I lost £4k in one month. Backers now had access to valuable knowledge and layers didn't stand a chance. Or may be I had just been lucky all along.  I then saw that the game was up and quit US racing (and posting the links) for good.

I did get banned once and they wouldn't let me back for 9 years because I criticised a certain jockey (one and half times) once to often, who had been champion one and half times, but as a condition of my return, I am not allowed to name.  At the time I was unaware of the good work he did with Barney Curley in Africa.  I know regret saying the things I did.
