Trading on the betting exchanges.

Well done Twister  
I had a saver on your tip, so not all bad. Janal ran a good race making most of the running.
I will need to pull my finger out to keep up with you.  

Yeah a 4/1 Winner with a 45/1 Forecast followed by a 10/1 Winner LoL  


I will leave you to it luke, it was rude of me to muscle in  


Good luck Bud, I will follow with interest  



I'm still interested to hear what your POT is though ?

[flukey luke]

Don't go now Twister, you are in good form. 
This year has being pretty good for me so far, my POT on just my own selections is a little over 50%. I can't honestly expect to keep that up forever.
My lays are going well and the info is rock solid most of the time. I have made more doing this than playing roulette over the last 10 months. In fact roulette has kind of taken a back seat. I like the challenge of the exchanges because I am still pretty new to it all and learning as I go along.

OK, if ure sure ?

50% ?
Thats very impressive !!
Most Pro's will aim for around 10%, obviously more if they can acheive it.

I used to be a member of a Pro service and spent 2 weeks with the guy. Taught me alot.

I always price up my own book and then look for value.

That horse today I had as a 3/1 chance. As in if I were a Bookmaker I wud not of offered more than 3's
I looked and as soon as I saw it was 10's Bam its a selection !


Obviously the last few days are not the norm

On another day ure horse wud not of fallen and I would of been 2nd, but then jumping is the name of the game and all that blah blah blah 


I was impressed with ure lay the other day for sure. It was one of those races that made you think, ok it may lose but what is going to beat it !


There was one race you played in and I didnt have a bet. Had 10 runners but 8 of them cud of won it, hence I avoided it.

Ok, we carry on as before 

If i have a selection in a different race i will post that too



(just btwn you and me-I used to have my own tipping service, advertising in the Post) went tits with the divorce but prior to that I was 2nd only to Isiris.

Ok mate, catch you 2moz 

[flukey luke]

I was 2nd only to Isiris.

Some people have all the luck. Kevin had a nice au pair as well.  

[Twisteruk]

lol I used to be up at 4am getting ready for the day

Got banned from Sean Graham in Ireland Corals Napoleons and a few more

Sorry sir, win only at SP.....YAWN 



One time I phoned up Coral and wanted 500 e/w on at 5/1......Win only at SP they said.....was high so went for 1k win at SP........romped in 7L clear and SP'd at 8/1 




I think Kevin still does his losers line for Isiris, im not sure though.

[flukey luke]

To be fair Twister, I have had some big priced winners thrown in that lot. But if you don't back a 16-1 shot, then you 'aint getting a 16-1 winner.  
I am in it for a long term profit. I can't be doing with 6-4 shots when the jockeys are trying to be too clever half the time.  I will look forward to your selections. I am pretty certain that between us, we can come up with some good stuff.

[flukey luke]

My mistake, not tony  
Yes I heard a lot of tales about Mr Booth.
He once claimed he was kidnapped and someone else was running his tipping line, LoL.
Needless to say, that was a bad spell. He just started back up not so long ago.
The problem with his stuff was that you could never get on before the price crash.
I have that problem solved now. I get some info the night before sometimes and can back it for small amounts at PP AND 365. An easy lay the next morning once all the punters get out of bed. If I get anything I will put it up. It is great backing a 20/1 the night before and waking up finding it is about 7's and laying it.

Spot on mate.

Value Value Value

If you are always backing 3/1 shots at 10/1 ure win in the long term


Did you ever see the Aussie dogs Corals did ?

They totally PHUCKED UP !

Aussie dogs are priced like the Tote

Corals were giving out board prices

Every day 6 days a week for 6 months until they banned me i was backing Aussie dogs

The RP gave the Tissue price

Often it would say 6/4 etc

The board price was 5s BEFORE coming in to 6/4.....Totally cleaned up

Best one EVER was Tissue of 1/10 and I got 16s before it went off at 1/5 (yes it was that volatile!)


Ah I was in Heaven  

[flukey luke]

You sound like a shrewd cookie mate 
There will always be angles to exploit and once that loophole closes, it is a case of finding another one.
Look at the great Phil Bull, made a fortune from photo finishes. The hole in one gang. etc...

In the summer of '98 you couldnt get on an Isiris horse for love nor money

They were throwing out winners like you wudnt believe

One time i did it as fast as possible

Got the bet, phoned corals......almost got the bet on until the "pit boss" starts shouting the name of the Isiris horse.....then got sorry sir no bet  



Havin said all of that Im not a fan of "inside info"

Its all a matter of opinion.....most Trainers say good things things as do the Jocks


Anyway Ive rambled enough

You are only as good as ure last winner in this trade

Your only remembered for ure losers, think of Peter Sandrovich  

[flukey luke]

There used to be a phone box just outside laddies and with Isiris, you were always told to phone about 5-10 minutes before the race. So I would rush out, phone up and dive back in to the counter with my slip. The prices used to get gobbled up in a minute, lol.
One of the best blokes I ever knew was a guy by the name of Russell Clarke, lives in Spain now and concentrates mostly on football betting, he was one of the few genuine guys in the sport. I agree with all you say about trainers. They may think their horse is the best thing since sliced bread but they don't always know what everybody else is up to.

Ah yes 
The times I did that lol

Again got banned from my local coral shop

Didnt have a bet in there for like 2-3 months

Then one time sent the Mrs in. She wrote it out, went to put it on and they said "Paul is banned from here" LOL and they didnt even know who she was

Ok last bask in glory before dinna

My fav bet EVER was I spent a whole day driving round Surrey back a horse at 10/1. The fav was 1/10
My horse got up on the line (all weather at southwell) and won

Fact 98% of odds on horses lose 1st time out on All weather, that little piece of info will keep you warm for a while !

I have to goooooo mrs has a nice steak pie waiting for me


Catch ya 2moz mate 

[flukey luke]

ok mate, speak tomorrow. Enjoy your pie.

Soz I missed this reply 

The hole in one gang was Awesome !

They were getting 50/1 even 100/1 at times, though a few didnt pay (bad losers)

Never to be repeated thats for sure !

[flukey luke]

Good morning everyone,

I want to put this up here first.
Had some information from one of my contacts for the following.

12.50 doncaster. fettucine (back to win) it is 3-0 - 2/1 at the moment.
This price definately won't last. This is the same guy that gave me 'lively baron' the other day and at least the price is right here. At 2/1, it is a great bet. My friend at one of the trading centres confirms the shrewdies are on.

good luck.
