    [Football] Relegation odds ?

    My data account balances suggests not:lol: Some punters win, those that have an edge in what they do. None of the books like winners obviously, that is what beards are for.:thumbsup:

    [Other Sport] For the golfers on here

    Putting with the flag in will soon stop when one of the idiots hits the flag and it stays out. I always get the flag taken out or attended and if I’m chipping from around the green I take the flag out as I think it has a better chance of going in if the flag isn’t there. The one thing they...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool *** Official Match Thread ***

    Must be some big steaking punters on here as they have cut them to 40/1 and 16/1 anytime. Probably took about £20:D

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool *** Official Match Thread ***

    We are 11/1 on Botfair to win this which has tempted me in for a few quid. Have also played Dunk and Duffy FGS 50/1 and 55/1 although the latter has since disappeared and is now 50/1 with Bet £3.65. Would much prefer it if Andone played up front to give us an outball. When Murray played against...

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    There is only one way to avoid losing accounts and that is not to win:mad: Most of them have pathetic thresholds and if you get to four figures out of most of them you've done well. If all you do is play for free bets, constantly bet at best price available or arbing then they will close you...

    [Misc] What are you looking forward to in 2019?

    I have a betting bank that is separate from the family finances and I got a large redundancy payoff which was one of the drivers behind going full time as was having no mortgage as we have paid that off. I’ve made plenty in each of the last four years and am confident that what I do is...

    [Misc] What are you looking forward to in 2019?

    I'm looking forward to... My first full year as a professional gambler having being made redundant four months ago. Since then I've made more cash than when I was going into the office, all tax free too. Going to the Wednesday of the Cheltenham Festival to watch Delta Work win the RSA Chase...

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    Botfair accounted for 37% of my overall steaks last year but 48% of my overall profit at an ROI of 16.6%. My ROI last year was 12.9%, the books got very lucky in May and June when I had a terrible run but that does mean I haven’t paid the premium charge sine April but it is very close again...

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    Not any more unfortunately. It kicks in if the amount of commission paid over the lifetime of the account is less than 20% of the gross profits. It’s criminal really but there is no other alternative. I just look at it as a tax and stake more to cover it when I know I’m going to have to pay it.

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    Yes, it’s comfortably six figures. I can’t get a bet on in my name but there are always ways round it like using friends accounts, visiting shops in different areas to spread the cash around and also Botfair but that means something called the Premium Charge comes visiting. It’s a fun...

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    I’ve made 16.2% profit over the last four years, now is not the time to stop:lolol: The main problem is getting a bookie to take my cash. I gave up decent salary to have better lifestyle and tomorrow I shall be playing golf instead of sitting in an office and will be able to continue working...

    [Misc] Has anyone tried the Martingale betting method

    Staking plans are something I’ve spent hundreds of hours analysing and for me the Kelly criterion staking plan suits what I do but I do it a lot less aggressively than full Kelly. This article has a calculator on it to help and an explanation...

    [Food] Best Non Alcoholic Beer

    Harveys Old and Best non alcoholic versions are decent too. Only place I’ve seen them is their shop in Lewes though. The Ghost Ship is very good as is the Nanny State. Very useful for when you have to drive and still want the taste of a beer.
