Tennis forum characters of the past

Has anyone heard from 'back to the day job'? His 'food' topic was a beauty.

lol plums

Reverend all green #1 - #49, but with all these multiple nicks maybe hes around anyway

Mariakirilenkostolemyhorse. :^0

Jaap.

Darlingtoon was the man. Used to love his fantasy targets he'd achieve in order to go to his exotic destinations worldwide.

I remember he did a list of all his destinations and who on the forum had paid for them once :D

I was in his top 3 forum mugs. a proud moment :D

Lu
Samurai
McNab
Timster
Spyretto
George Bush

spyretto was gvl's best mate

janov

I used to love his analysis of upcoming grand slams. Venetia Williams etc :D

probably multiple accounts then

I thought Rome was spyretto

:D spyretto was the account Rome used to post on threads other than 'my bets for the day'

Had a few more than that...
Prince Valiant,Shiraz and half the characters in the Fred ;)

*Rome fred

Valiant was a weird w@nker

flipmode.
What are you talking about?

Here he comes :D

Anyone know what happened to 'the man marcus'

McNab - appears from time to time

i am amazed that nobody has mentioned the biggest forum- pain in the arse ever:

barathegreat!

George W Bush - the train stopper

Kinda liked Strike-it-Rich
Dont matter how bad his calls are, he's right back with 15 more the next hour :D

Almagro is a no no 18 Feb 22:48
:D spyretto was the account Rome used to post on threads other than 'my bets for the day'


i always found that hard to believe until rome's meltdown on a tipping comp fred. had spyretto fingerprints all over it :^0

Tabloid Lover a shocking omission

yeah, tabloid lover was a total mental case. got banned shortly before his beloved ana got smashed by azarenka at the french

el commandante todo verde
jeff tarrango ;)

i liked el comedadnernteire whatever his name was.

El commander todo verde i think.

Thanks for the mention but I'm still here :)

El Commandante tel Verde (sp?) was Reverand all green. Both banned I think!!

Baratthegreat and his side kick emilllllly :0 Reported so many forumites in the short period they were here that there was hardly anyone left. Around the US Open 2007 I think.

Footsoldiers must be here by now under a new name! Purple headed munch monster?

i think el commande decided to have a break, had a horror show start to 09

You's are all a bunch of know-it-all back stabbing plebs, And at the end of the day you's will remain so :) peace

i dont fall into that category pistol, thanks for the concern anyway

Jan Ullrich

Nr 1 Fan of Andy Roddick

TMM :(

and mumu

Neither were bad sorts though, unlike most of the nutters mentioned :D

black cat was a weirdo

Napboysteve is an unforgiveable ommission, he once THREATENED me that he knew people as he played for Glasgow Rangers!! priceless!!!!!

blackday or what was he called?

the rev aka ectv may be found here

http://revallgreen.blogspot.com/

Yeah Ancients of mug mug was a fav of mine...
I like the way almost never got offended by all the crapola directed @ him, he just turns most offensive posts around to avoid confrontation, I liked that about his nick....

*he almost

ah yes blackday aka ashley harkleroad aka jimbo wolves aka the mighty cucumber and others. in the early days before streams when we only had really dodgy sb's blackday used to the the worst ramper on here, notorious he was. had a strange obsession with matt prior the england wicket keeper :0

barathegreat aka emilly once memorably and gleefully pasted an email he got from betfair about gettijng a poster banned, but he forgot to cut out his email address :^0 can't remember what it was now, but turned out he worked for some dodgy alternative energy venture capital company :D

Rahul20
Kristina ]:)

cool as cucumber :0

allrise

Troy
jernau

rahul20!!! :^0 always reckoned he reappeared as chrisz aka come get some. they all had the same rather uncouth manner

He was 'fedxpress' as well, absolute mug :D

not just a mug but totally insane. didn't he have an obsession with a nasty usa serial killer and post stuff about him all over here and the footie phorum? :0

O'Dwyer was mainly on other forums, but had some memorable tips here as well, his most famous being "Lay Federer at 1.55, back him higher in-play" before the US Open 2008 final. Needless to say it was a Fed 1.01 train.

*sigh* the memories :) makes the current crop of fruitcakes and collection of stalkers seem quite innocuous

odwyer also has a blog now. some cracking lays on there :)

Yen Hsun Lu

My favourite o'dwyer post was Nadal-Hewitt at the French a few years back, I think it was the 3rd set, Nadal serving for it and hadn't been broken all match, o'd tells the forum Nadal is FREE MONEY to hold his serve, I dont need to say what happened next

Does anyone have GWB's (I think) tennis betting page bookmarked, i'd love another read as it was priceless

yeah (un)cool as cucumber and Troy mcMug, priceless! :D

cool as cucumber's magic coin was classic stuff, shame the way he seemed to end it on here

footsoldier

Don, ask Swedsil. He might have it, he had a link to it on his blog but it's not there now.

come on Jason..we all know you're Jaap

"Marat" and his constant ramps of a player being "injuried" (sic)

"everton1" used to watch prices closely and report on market anomalies

"basil3legs" aka Mariano Zabaleta's mate :p is a shocking omission

"bilou68" with his constant "*Insert Player* will win" posts LOL

"basketball funds" used to run some tipping comps for a while

"Timster" still takes the cake for having the most haters

"janov" aka "ppking"? was the innovator for tennis forum fishing. Swedish number 1 Roger Ferrero would be proud of his efforts :p

Tommycz - Roddick no.1 fan, jinxed many matches and blew several banks with all in low odds tips

"basketball funds" used to run some tipping comps for a while

Is he not still around? He was the creator of the legendary Davydenko vs Vassallo Arguello Official Che ating thread.

spyretto was rome? :0

he was completely clueless

surely not

all the various beards and their boom and bust betting and delusions of grandeur when it was going well. never did understand that business about them and troy mcclure in a new york hotel room - was it some kind of michael barrymore thing? :0 very entertaining to read the rants, though :D

Tommy CZ was Jan Ullrich fwiw

the man marcus was last seen on cricket during the 06/07 Ashes series. He laid Aus to win 5-0 to a liability of c. £50k iirc.

Funny thing was, he didnt seem too fazed when the bet went titsoop :0

lol gvl, I'd forgotton about the legendary NY Hotel fiasco during the US Open iirc :^0

Nadal losing to Youzhny was a dark moment for the Beards I remember

Gaston Henman-Hardenne! ........."CALLING BANE"

was that the 6-1 6-0 demolition job don?

**kn brilliant thread

jackbet

the mug man markus

Lots of Mugs in these forums...

mylessoncost70k

one of the best, most gutsyest conservative punters ever here. What he did starting from those 66 quid right before the US Open was a masterpiece

i don't think conservative is the right word :0 all in every bet? :D

ya 70k has his own blog now -brave punter no doubt -still remmber te 2k he had on navarro in the us open against karlovic

ye he was really a nice guy too. I more like remeber when he put 5k on Almagro to beat Darcis in the 4th set breaker, i was like noooooooooooooooo not on Mugro, then he won that tiebreak after saving a set point on Darcis serve. Then then next day he went all in Jessy Witten when he was 2 sets up against Andreev and he still got him at the odds like 1.5 or so lol

i remember he won almost 3k in 20 minutes when he bet on Witten :D

he's been doing quite well since then

http://mylessoncost70k.blogspot.com/

lol although if your lookin for them kind of upsets the slams is the way to go

Kaiseress. He was a knób though.

Was that Mac's old account or a different one ?

;)

How this place has deteriorated :(

I remember some lunatic told me he was tracing my IP address and sending the boys round that afternoon :^0


All the funny characters went when they brought the KYC checks in for the forum because they had already been banned or they were our other accounts :D

there was some bloke who used to claim he was a female canadian forex trader or something, yet he was logged in and posting at all sorts of non-canadian hours and knew a fair bit about cricket for a female canadian forex trader lol and he used to start his own match fred for every match regardless

bump

what ever happened to that caramba guy

Zamarano absolute legend. Boys from spam have drove everyone away with their megafreds and constant drivel tho! Used to be a good place especially for Slams.
