Guys have been on BF since 2006 but have noticed some irregularities in the past six months. Won't go into details but some things seem dubious!

Why did you put this in the Newbies/Getting Started topic?
And without details, what is it supposed to tell people?

Were you on any of those 1.01 losers Oliver?

There is absolutely nothing dubious about a 1.01 loser. In theory it should happen one in a hundred times.

(Perhaps you'd like to show today's P/L as you usually do.)

One day you're advising newbies of how much money they can make on Betfair and the next you're suggesting to them that Betfair's a scam. Do you not think that would cause a bit of confusion?

It's an appropriate place for newbies to ask questions!

We can only guess because he neglected to give the details.

Dear lord, you've gone pro doing something on a platform, where you have to ask whether it's a scam?

You should have gone Forever Living-pro instead. At least you'd know what you'd be getting into.

He's only been a pro for less than two weeks. Perhaps it was a bit premature. :lol:

sometimes it happens twice a day, like today for example
15:30 Brighton 18:00 Newmarket

That's the two 1.01 losers that I was referring to. When you consider how many meetings are on during the summer it's not so surprising.
