Betfair's tenth birthday today

[Bet Angel]

£5k in a lifetime isn't a great deal of money. There are 10,000 horse races a year and thousands of soccer and tennis matches. If you just made an average of just 50p a race over the year you would almost certainly fall into the PC trap. That's too low.

Yes, sounds like you need to change your style to the same one as your mate Andy!
Make profits....all profits are good.

Good luck

Easier said than done though - lots of losses has a hugely negative impact on my mind so it isn't that easy unfortunately. It isn't through lack of trying.

Unfortunatly for traders its called BETfair not TRADEfair. If you Bet.. its fair if you trade and your style means you dont have many losing races... they get you!

I stick by what I said earlier I would rather pay it than there be no Betfair.

My friend had his first premium charge today (£106)...he had one last week but they let him off as it was his first...
I spoke to him on the phone this morning and he just couldnt believe it!
He said..."When I lose, they keep my money...but if I win they take a chunk of it!..how does that work then?"..
Might just try and explain it over a pint tonight...but then again..dont think I've got the energy!!...bloody unfair isnt it!

Looks like you weren't the only person to not hear from Betfair on their 10th birthday Peter:
