    Rocket it's easier for me because I work in the industry and I get to sit around for 8 hours a day looking at odds all around me - quite easy to pick out what looks like a big price. The likes of the bet I was trying to give BH there was a big mistake from someone else trading on betfair, it was still a bet as in it could potentially lose but I was getting 1.6 about something which should have been at most 1.15. Getting those types of odds where there is massive value is a business decision rather than an entertainment decision. I have had so many bets over so many years that the pain of winning and indeed losing is completely blunted. I'm set to walk away with at least 3k after todays business (thats assuming the rest of my running bets lose) and I don't really feel that good or bad about it, I can't get excited because I will have to reinvest most of it within the next week and if luck doesn't go my way I could still lose it all yet. When I look at my betting over the year I'm making just short of 10% profit, thats 10p for ever quid I bet over time. I've had a good November, up about 30% so far but that also means I'm riding my luck a little which could quickly swing to being a negative month next month even if I back all the right things.

    Anyway it's not easy for a casual punter to make money, what I love most about Betfair is that there are far too many casual punters on it and I get to **** them all the time. I advise that unless you want to invest a lot of your free time into research then probably wise to steer away from huge stakes unless you accept that it's for entertainment purposes rather than a business decision.
