    I am not banned, I just can't get a decent size bet on in any of my local shops, I get restricted to £25 max. I even stated that I can get a bet on if I travel around a lot, but it's never guaranteed. As most bookies will ring up there betting control department if a stranger wants £500 on something.

    Again you are not reading what I've written, I stated casinos are guaranteed to make 2.8% on roulette. I didn't mention any other games, I was just using roulette as an example.

    Once again your not reading what I have written, no casino pays 36/1 on Roulette as they wouldn't make any profit over a period of time. As the odds wouldn't be stacked in either the punter or the casinos favour. The casino would just break even. Casinos pay 35/1 which gives them a 2.8% profit margin on all turnover on roulette long term.

    So no everyone doesn't realise you get 36/1 as you don't it's 35/1. All everyone realises is that you know jack **** about gambling. :biggrin:

    5 pahnd to win forty on the the 2 dog, oo wants it?

    PTL is a sliding scale that changes throughout the day, you can bet way more than 500 on short odds when the racing is live.

    Yeah but I'm not interested in betting horses once the live show is up. It is about backing market movers in the morning. Getting 8/1 on a horse in the morning, that starts off at 5/1. That is how you guarantee long term profit.

    It is much harder to win on horses if your taking prices once the show from the track is through. As it's much harder to find value in the market, as the horses have usually got to around there correct price. It's not impossible to win betting this way but it's alot tougher.

    I have bet that way before, and I wasn't making enough money to make it worth my while. I was better off just working :biggrin:

    Really? If only I'd thought about using it as a joke because the Chinese and Japanese don't like each other. Damn.

    Fractional odds include your stake in the return, he's right.

    The 1 is your stake back you clown. You stated a roulette wheel pays 36/1, when it doesn't it pays 35/1. Stop wriggling <laugh>

    I don't even know what the last part is on about 'nobody forces you to play your stake' You risk your stake everytime you bet dip ****.

    Seriously learn a thing or 2 about gambling before you start trying to point score with me on the subject :biggrin:

    I thought only your grass victims squirm or wriggle ?
    The whole point of my thread is that the gaming Industry never loses and the fact that you think you have a system that never loses but can' t place a bet because you are too clever is bullshit.
    If you had 100 people placing £100 bets in high street bookies on your "tips" there is no way they would turn punters away.
    You are completely up your own arse without a paddle.
    Mick is probably the most clued up **** on here regarding bookmakers & I sincerely doubt you have ever been in a Casino so stick to sucking the cocks of mopey Scouse fans you fraud.

    Aye I heard that, usually very low %, best value in a casino because you are not up against the house and don't suffer unfair odds.

    Similar to online cash games which according to some (usually the Fish) is only because of the software <laugh>

    Guaranteed money for the house plus tips service etc , there used to be legal Poker schools over London called Gutshot clubs but they have been shut down now so the Gov can tax proper Poker rooms.
    You can still play in shady Snooker halls but they are dodgy to ****

    We had a place in Glasgow that was on the surface quite nice. I went along with a workmate one time but there was hardly anyone there so a few of them suggested a £20 tourney game, I was not overly keen tbh but I played anyway and was unsurprised to see the standard of play was pretty poor, nay reckless bordering on insanity. Constant all ins and ****s calling high bets pre flop with any suited cards.

    Not quite, it all felt a bit shady, I prefer home games where I can be fairly confident that I won't get a wallet inspector on my tail should I win.

    I used to tip up horses daily on the old bbc 606 boards, it was called Shergars shoo ins, and I had a huge following of supporters who used to back my selections. One of my most famous days was at the Cheltenham festival, I picked out 3 horses which all won, paying a massive 92/1 for the treble and hundreds on the old 606 thanked me.

    If you want proof of this look on my profile page on here, where there are various posters asking me to come out of retirement and start tipping horses again. One even refers to my following on 606 as an army, that's how many people used to follow my tips.

    I gave up betting professionally as like I've said the bookies where running scared of me, so I couldn't get enough money on my selections to make it pay. So I now work for a living rather than spending hours and hours looking through horse form.

    As far as getting 100 people where am I supposed to get 100 people to put my bets on for me? These people aren't going to put bets on for me on a daily basis without wanting paying. Believe you me I exhausted every avenue trying to get my money on, I created accounts in all my family's names and eventually they got blocked aswell. I even grew a beard to disguise myself in shops, but eventually they become wise to it. I got away with it for about 5 years, but now I am well known to them all, as are the people I've sent in to place bets.

    I don't tip up horses anymore as I can't really be arsed to spend hours going through the form, just to give other people tips, when I won't be able to bet them myself. Betting professionally isn't as great a job as you think, I'd sometimes spend 7-8 hours a day reading form, and watching race replays, it really wasn't that enjoyable. So I'm not going to do it if I can't make any money myself from it. :biggrin:
