Dereck please can you name some companies/bookmakers/Betting exanges websites which allow to risk more what you can afford?
I don't know any bookies or betting exchanges that allow leverage - I just said spread betting firms do.Lucacrebbe wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:47 pmDereck please can you name some companies/bookmakers/Betting exanges websites which allow to risk more what you can afford?

You said on your other thread that you want to bet "hard" - up to €10,000. You also said you can afford to lose €5,000.Lucacrebbe wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:47 pmDereck please can you name some companies/bookmakers/Betting exanges websites which allow to risk more what you can afford?
Why do you now need leverage?

I hate that glib little box-ticking phrase the bookie's adverts use.
They're in the business of breeding industrial strength gambling addicts, not renting out bouncy castles.
Luca, when you lose all your money (plus some) and it's not fun, it's ok because you can just 'stop'.

Couldn't agree more. So very obviously just a cover-our-asses slogan under slight pressure from a political establisment. Slight because they don't truly want to stop the (taxation) cash cow that is gambling, and an industry doing the bare minimum to try to be proactive regarding a backlash against a business model that - even if we're a part of it in a small way - is ethically rotten to the core.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 5:31 pmI hate that glib little box-ticking phrase the bookie's adverts use.

As to the OP in this context. I wrote to him in the previous thread that there were worrying signs, which he promptly ignored. This thread takes it from signs to pretty damn near certainty. In the same post, I praised you guys for doing outstanding work in trying to guide OP, even if mostly seemed to the benefit of other lurkers rather than actually OP. At this point though, for me, there's been enough examples where solid advice and well-founded constructive critisism has been ignored or even lambasted by OP. Cold-hearted though it may seem, I think, it's an unavoidable personal disaster waiting to happen, and since none of the advice sticks anyway, then any reply just feeds the addiction instead, and it's better left ignored. Cliche as it might be, this seems a case of someone needing to hit rock bottom, before being able to appreciate one's own fallibility and following that being capable of taking advice onboard.

I use the phrase because in this case it gets straight to the point. Rather than waste time given the man advice he's not interested in taking, he's going to do what he's going to do and it doesnt look like anything thats said here is going to make any difference.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 5:31 pmI hate that glib little box-ticking phrase the bookie's adverts use.

I agree Pat and it wasn't a dig at what you said, just the way the adverts use the phrase.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 11:20 amI use the phrase because in this case it gets straight to the point.

I've never noticed it before but I just heard the slogan on an advert. The funny thing about it is that it sounds so contradictory and out of place when they just spent an exciting 30 seconds telling you how much you can win - almost as though they don't want to say it!ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 5:31 pmI hate that glib little box-ticking phrase the bookie's adverts use.

They don't want to, they 'have' to.
The guidelines should be change so it's at the start and says "The following offers are bullshit"
Unlikely though because it's all to do with the SenetGroup that the bookies themselves had to set up to try and look sqeeky clean for the govt. Hence the blink-and-you-miss-it (as you did) helpful advice.
