blonde poker forum

Just had info that Wanock is going to sign tomorrow....you can still get 2.22 on betfair.
Dont shoot the messenger ok !!!!

WARNING

bookiebasher is a BOOKIE. He can't come in here!

GO AWAY Lucky Jim!

would have stuck something on but can't find the field on laddies, they must have removed it

Amazingly still 2.34 on Betfair Jim

Price plummetting as Blades go 2-0 down....

odds on now looking good

It'll be interesting to see if he waves to the United fans at the final whistle.

You can lay 1.88 now

The price is beginning to collapse now, you can lay 1.67.

I may be tempted to save a bit soon.

I'm leaving it open.  Have 2.38, 2.36, 2.34 and 2.32

I reckon Monday morning will see him sign.  Tomorrow would be nice though

Bookiebasher (Jim)  How is my account looking ?  Can I have the entire bankroll on Tikay NOT winning the main event in walsall please ... :)

Your account has been frozen, pending an inquiry by the fashion police headed by Robert HM.
All dodgy ' jumpers ' are being looked into.
If the outcome is positive I will add 10% to your account ok

Cochester Kiv, you have been investigated and been found to be a blatant poker whore.

(let's split it Jim)

This is such a strange market it's been laid @ 1.6 and it's back out to 2.58 recently and now 2.24.

I'm confused ???

Kev will get jealous if we do some splitting without him, but hey, now I know he's a whore who cares !!
Is a strange market Ralph but going to have faith with my source. Might change my mind if I hear he is not talking to his missus.

Warnock statement today is that he will be in charge for the local derby with Sheff wed next week, I have laid my bet now if he goes I have a profit of £60  he stays I'm EV

Interestingly, as well as the Sheffield derby, Porstsmouth are away to Man U next Saturday.

Another good reason to wait until afterwards for Mr. Warnock ?

Price has been yo-yoing more than my chips do in a tourny, so I've layed off for a small profit.

Price is plumetting to 1.40 now !

D'oh! :blonde:

I've saved my stake @ 1.48, so if Warnock gets the job I win £85 or break even if he doesn't.

Someone just put £2000 on Warnock @ 1.5 (1/2)  but I couldn't resist the freebie  :D

I'm out for a nice profit.  I've no doubt he will join.  I wanted to the cash for a Rooney to score/Utd to win bet.

 8)

And this market continues to perplex, back out to 1.9 ???

If it touches 2.3/2.4 again I'll have another lump :)

my money is on rednapp

How much and what price did you get ?

BTW We are now freerolling on Warnock  ;)

50p no idea what price you offering me

i also fancy an EW on george burley

Ahhh when you said that your money was on, I foolishly thought that it meant that

your money was on.

Silly of me really.  >:?

sorry mate i dont gamble

ps you going to luton?
and are there any lap dancers in luton?

Bankroll's taken a bit of a bashing lately mate.

If things pick up a bit I may pop down for one of the early ones.

I've not researched the local entertainment venues yet, but if I'm coming I will.  ::)

i am playing the £200 omaha and PLHE thats tuesday and wednessday fly home thursday not sure if i will have time for lap dancing unless they do some wednessday afternoon but hey you never know

I'm not sure if you have inside info. Ironside, but since you said that you fancied Redknapp,

his price has dropped from 10/1 to 100/30 !!

Warnock is back out to 11/10

This market continues to fluctuate wildly.

my source tells me that redknapp will be named at miday on tuesday and the conspiracy theorist that redknapp went to southampton to take them down and thus making his prestige with the pompey fans even greater

I'm born and bred Portsmouth buddy!!! There's blue blood in these here veins. If you meet a Pompey fan, at least you know they're proper footy fans and most definitely NOT glory hunters.

I think Redknapp has a snowball's chance in hell at getting back into PFC with Milan "The Ego" Mandaric still in charge. Add to that every single Pompey fan labelling him Judas Redknapp due to the fact he said "I'd never ever go "down the road"" and where'd he go?? He's not flavour of the month right now. Still though.... would just be another chapter in the saga.

Safe money's on Robson or Warnock in my opinion... though I wonder what it would take to prise him away from his beloved Blades??? He's gone so close with them many a time, and they're looking good this season so far!!!! Why the hell would he come to us????

Wouldn't mind him coming to us though to be honest!

I would lay Warnock all day long now.

I do not think he will take the position

Well there's plenty of 8/11 to lay on Betfair.

speaking of real portsmouth fans - 3 seasons ago i went to portsmouth vs grimsby (in the league) as i was staying with a mate who lived in petersfield and we got tickets.  We were drinking with all the pompey fans in this real dodgy boozer when we said to one of them "hey, - do you know that fella with all the tattoos who rings the bell at every game?" - i think his name is actually John portsmouth FC - he got it changed by deed poll. - The 2 lads we were drinking with said they knew him well and he should be here any minute.  Right on queue, he comes through the door of this pub with another bloke and we get introduced - looks a real psycho but is a genuinely nice fella - he owns a tattoo parlour in petersfield and he became my mate instantly because he had atended every ground in england apart from the one i have visited the most - field mill, home of the stags! -

portsmouth fans are great - especially him - proper hardcore!

Just to keep you informed, my source is scouting round to get another £1000 on Warnock going. He reckons next weekend is when we can collect our dough !!!!
Remember....don't shoot the messenger.

and i say redknapp tomorrow afternoon

Redknapp is available @ 6/1 on Betfair, and you don't have to name the day  ;)

and i aint got an account at betfair unless ruru want to put $50 in an account for me

They take Neteller

yeah but thats my poker money

you dont think i am going to gamble with my own poker money do you?

Looks like you've saved it anyhow.

Redknapp now out to 12/1, Warnock 2/5 and dropping  :D

dont listen to me save your money till redknapp goes to 20-1
then lump it on

Warnock going down to portsmouth tomorrow. Will be the manager by sunday....i think.

too late redknapp will be manager tuesday

Guess the time to lump on Redknapp is approaching then  ;) ;)

with betfair i can lay at 15-1 but only back at 13-1

i dont get it

surely i should be able to bak and lay at roughly same price otherwise they dont get the bets matched

I trust my account has been credited accordingly :)

Yeah Junior!!!!

His name is actually John "Portsmouth Football Club" Westwood. He's an absolute legend!!! Had the fortune/misfortune of sitting next to him at both Forest away and many a time at Fratton Park!!! He just never shuts up!! He would scare children just to look at but believe me he is a top bloke and a gentle giant. His passion for his club just takes him over. He can't play the bugel for toffee tho. Same with the bell actually. He lives a bit of a double life as his day job is an antique book salesman. He owns his own shop in Petersfield :-)

Didn't know so many people were interested in our little club and it's next manager. Should be interesting!

See you in the card room.

What's 10% of nothing kev ?
Your account is still under investigation by Robert HM and as you know, solicitors take their time.
Reckon you ought to back TK for the £200 freezeout at notts. on sunday if he is playing.
I will be offering the best odds available, cause I am gunning for him.
Reckon he was the ringleader talking foreign crap against Rob the other night !!

I always thought Tikay was English, but after the episode with the soviet customs and the money smuggling, I hear he now has some Russian in him ;)

The enquiry is ongoing and new leads need to be followed. Watch this space, but don't hold your breath.

That's the whole point Ironside, they are not bookies.

You have to match someone else's bet.

Portsmouth approach Alex Mcleish for Pompey hot seat

Hes currently 7 on BF

mcliesh is 12-1 on betfair lump it on

Where did that come from?

my source....

Hes called SkySportsNews

lol

Hope he's reliable

mcliesh?

Seriously?  Bet on him getting it?

taken off Betfair - must be something in it

as at 18.10

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/4479702.stm

approaching warnock

yeah my source is the portsmouth chairman beingin interviewed on skysportsnews saying they have asked to speak to mcliesh as rangers want rid of alex without paying £1mill that would cost them to sack him

its odds on alex's for the job now as portsmouth will get him without paying compensation rangers can get rid without paying a dime
warnock will prove to be too expensive as he doesnt have a get out clause in his contract

wow, get on now............. i just backed him at 11.0 and as i was laying warnock (excuse the pun) he's dropped right down to 4!!

no still on there just gone from 8/1 to 3./1

It's 6 (5/1) but jumping about on b/f

I caught it as it hit 7 but I am not sure I will probably lay it off if I can get a profit

price is going up wait for it too hit 10-1 and lump on again

Really not sure. This is ony the first time I have used an exchange so practising with small stakes, gosh doesn't it move quickly

anyone signing up to betfair (http://betfair.cc-eu.co.uk/link/click?lid=41000000000777871) please use this link

LOL

always got an eye on the main chance has our ironside

ok i got £5 on alex at 7.6 now what price do i need to lay at and how much to make a profit?

I took 7 and suppose I need around 6.5 to lay at a profit

i took another £5 at 9
looking to lay off some of the bet know somewhere below the orginal 7.6

Are you saying you DO know somewhere?

I am about to leave it as is and take my chances

wohooooooooooooo

i got a locked £9 now

my first venture onto the market has shown a profit

Where did you lay it?

i layed it on betfair for 7.4 to return £10 (my stakes)

so if alexs takes job i earn £9 if alexs doesnt i lose nothing

 :tikay: ;applause; :blonde:

so i aint in profit but i got a free bet

Well done, I have't seen it go down as far as 7.4, you must have got lucky grrr

i put it it and waited for it to get matched

Wooohooo I got a convert  :D

watch the pice drop in 5 minutes on alexs once the people switch on sky sports see the news

karabiner dont believe it i just made a right cock up on the arsenal match and got the liabilty wrong so i stand to lose £2 on a draw win slightly on arsenal win and win alot on reading

i was trying to get win huge on arsenal win small on draw and lose on reading

Meanwhile mcLeish is back out to 10 and I'm thinking of getting back in on Warnock.

If he goes odds against again. BTW £20k was matched @ 1/5 earlier today.

If you click on the name it shows the betting graph.

I've never seen such a volatile market.

someone has £8 on alex at 190

Same bloke that laid you 7 prolly  :D

i got on at 7.6 and 9
and laid at 7.4

Morning Guys.

As you know I have been against warnock since the betting opened.

I have some decent info on the portsmouth manager.

My missus's uncle was the cambridge manager a few seasons ago )just before the frence took over) and he is currently training the youth at norwich. He got told last night that Warnock wioll be in by Thursday, and def. before the weekend match. Thery want him in before the Sheffield derby at the weekend.

I have said all along I personally didn't think it was a good bet, but I am thinking otherwise now.

whats this i hear about them asking permission to speak to alex mcleish....as 2nd choice if they dont get warnock

Have faith in Warnock lads....he IS going to get the job.
If he doesn't then the next time I see Kev i'm going to buy him the biggest pie he can find !!!
That's how confident I am.

I reckon warnock does not want his first match to be Man U away on Saturday.

IMO the Sheffield derby is a bit of a smokescreen, but he''ll probably take over this Monday.

Man you MUST be bloody confident !!!

I'm sure Kev is scouring the country looking for a Desparate Dan sized Fray Bentos even as we speak  :cheers:

Im on the phone to Fray bentos now ... they are looking into the costs involved in making a "SUPER" pie :)

hey do i care who gets the job i am locked into profit on this market now
i get £2 if alex doest get it and £2.20 if he does

come on pompey pick a manager for me please

Strange things happening today

wotsis name says Warnock and McLeish are the targets but says nice things about Rednap

SUFC give permision to approach NW but Rangers say no to approach

A little while ago Betfair suspended betting and when it starts again AM is 20! but eases to 13.5 and NW goes out a bit to 2.1, meanwhile Rednap's price is shortening, wtf is happening?

Portsmouth have been refused permission to talk to Alex Mcleish.

makes no difference
alex will be at portsmouth is rangers go out of europe

my bettings gone wrong

i know get £22.20 is alex gets job
£5.80 if rednapp gets it

anyone else and i break even

This market is increrdibly volatile.

I've just gone in again for Warnock @ 2.1, but Redknapp is now very short indeed @ 3.5ish.

I've already backed W @ 2.4, Laid him @ 1.48, Bet him again @ 2.3  etc.

All very confusing, but one must keep faith with one's sources and ignore the hype..........

warnock gets it i make £1.45 redkapp £6.06 mcliesh £22.96

anyone else £0.76

man this is confusing me.

If Ive had £2.50 laying warnock at 1.88, what odds and what would i need to put on to make a profit no matter?

I dont really get the trading off system of betting

Ive also £2 on McLiesh at 11.00

have you got warnock and mcliesh to get job at that price or against them getting the job?

Ive  got McLeish to get the job at 11 and Warnock not to get it at 1.88 - is that what you mean? Seperate bets

ok warnock back at any price over 1.89 to get the job for £2.50 would mean that if he gets it you win pennys
if he doesnt get it you break even

for mcliesh you would need to wait for the price to plummit beofre you can lay it off

lovely thanks :)

actually ive cocked it up already!  there was only 2 at 2.02 and I cancelled the extra 50p.

not big bucks but im covered either way i guess.  In fact, it was kinda pointless betting on either now - I will learn!

Come on McLeish :D

now i am cooking

warnock £3.45
rednkapp £8.06
mcliesh £4.46
anyone else £2.76

so no matter what i win a couple of quid

this trading off, is it like this?

if i back at 2.00 for £5 then i need to lay off at anything less than 2 for the same amount?

likewise if i lay at 2.00 for £5 then I back at anything greater for the £5?

is that correct?

i think so

but i only been doing it less than 24 hours and cocked up on the football

ended up winning 20p on arsenal and losing £2 on villa
and i am still exposed a few pounts on the champions league but hoping that will resolve itself next week

ok is this good?

warnock wins i get £9.05
redknapp gives me £5.36
mcliesh a whopping £11.70
anyone else £6

remember that betfair take a percentage

5% of my net winnings

I think it's 5% of your winning bets. They don't take into consideration your losing bets

they do its in the rules

its net profit on a market

ok i have shifted my postion to favour the 3 favourites

£11.20 if warnock wins
£11.71 if redknapp does the dirty
£10.70 if mcliesh jumps before he is pushed
and £5 if anyone else  including me get the job

Good work Iron.

Redknapp now 8/11 !!

Warnock out to 5/2.  This market is worse than Eastenders and Corrie combined  ;reallyamsorry;

And now they have flip-flopped again W 8/11 R 5/2

sheff utd have given permission for portsmouth to speak to warnock

Yes, but since that announcement Redknapp's price has hardened to 4/6 And Warnock out to 7/4.

It doesn't add up ???

I can only think that SUFC were playing for time whilst they sorted out a new contract and have let Portsmouth in to see what the offer is, they will then match it.

its due to a report in the portsmouth news saying they want harry as the manager

Fan power!

don't think it will alter the position between harry and the club

my tip is lay redknapp under 2 and back warnock over 2 it will change and then you can exchance your liabilty this evening when the market settles back

Much as i would hate to see you lot do your respective gonads on warnock, I hope he doesnt get the job as I have a massive pie to look forward to ;)

some huge money going on redkanpp now over £10k looking for a price under 2.0

Just had a look, Warnock was as high as 6 and eased within a minute to 5. If only I could hit the button at the right time I could make some money

There was about £10k traded on Warnock @ 1/5 a couple of days ago, it's crazy  >:?

Could it be Pompey fans betting with their heart not their head?

if only i wasnt overstretch i would have taken warnock at 6 and laid rednapp at 1.4 but i am waiting for pirce to switch to lay off my bets before i over stretch into a - equity

i think there are a couple of big players out there trying to manipluate the market

market is at 99.1 there must be value there somewhere is i only knew what that meant

I have no idea either, it was more than 100% before

It is 101 now

markets been suspended

utooooooooooo

back now marked at 147.1%

talk of walnock agreeing tomorrow and taking control next week

Warnock is over 3 atm on Betfair.  I've heard that Joe Royle has been lined up to replace him already.  Perhaps he wont go to Pompy but he isn't going to be at Sheffield much longer.

the sways on betfair are noto be taken to seriously. the big 3 are trying to retyrn a profit so are bringing the price down.

warnock will be the new manager

Good, Ive bet enough on him now to cover my stupid lay and my stupid bet on Mcleish


I think........

edit: I have now, just taken more cash at 4.4!  Get in there.

Im well out of pocket if he doesnt get it now, unless McLeish gets it!

can u honestly see redknapp returning

his life could be at risk

it wouldnt be a great move for him would it.  Aside from the anger he would cause, he never got on well with the chairman before, why should he now? 

redknapp better not get it i am laying like mad at this unreal price

i'll lay off later when it gets to evens

also getting a bucket load on at 5 for warnock

i heard a little rumour about ruud gullit down the pub

warnock is selling at 8 and i cant get any on

its about to correct itself

they are still trying to force price down another couple of big begs come in at 1.4 for redknap

they are laying warnock at 10 when sky news is reporting sheffild united players saying he is going

mcleish was 35s on betfair last night.   now down to 7s..

i win 9 quid no matter who the manager is now

 redknap at 1.45...


i think i might back against this.

warnock staying at sheffield

he is out at 50

i know...

ive bet against redknap.

if its redknap i win 12p.

if its  mcleish i win 19 quid
anyone else 12 quid.


i really do not think it will be redknap

i hope its not redknapp i filled my boots this morning with price dropping and warnocks going up and havent taken the profit as there wasnt one

just hope price shifts

just heard the news!  I so hope its McLeish, Ive lumped on ( a massive £7) on Warnock - now he's staying. 

Should have stuck with my instints!

ive managed to get a pound on billy davies at 1000/1

so if its mcelish i win 18.
redknap i lose 78pence

anyone else (other than davies)  i win 11 quid


i heard a roumer davies.  I dont think he will get the job but with warnocj out of it someone else has to come into the frame also and i think Davies will drop big time...  hopefully down to 50s at least

david pleat is the choice of a few board members acording to the mirror or mail not sure which

so i got £5 on at 170

burleys price is coming in now

gullit

dowie is in the frame too now.

mike newell

the redknapp backers and getting beaten back by the layers hope they get it to a reasonable price soon i want it up to about 1.7

gah, this is getting silly. I cant be on them all!  I have
Layed H. Redknapp    1.38   £3.00    
         N. Warnock    1.88   £2.50
 
Backed
N. Warnock 2.02   £2.00
N. Warnock    3.15   £2.00
N. Warnock    4.4   £2.32
A. McLeish    11   £2.00
I. Dowie 75   £2.00
 

Mike Newell is a class manager.

Feyenoord or Portsmouth....

Dowie will not leave Palace

there is still someone betting on warnock

pompey

betting suspended

I would've said Vialli but Mandaric wants a British coach. Also, I couldn't see Gullit going to manage Pompey after he's managed Chelsea and Newcastle.

not being funny when it comes to mandaric we are all stumped

he doesnt know wat he's doing, so how r we

burley is dropping in price soon he will be 2nd favourite as mcliesh goes out in price

its great

i got 3 quid on  burley at 42s 

now down to 11s

im gonna wait till 7s then lay and then back a smaller amount again

milan has said in tv interview that he is about to as the saints if he can speak to harry

I hope Harry just laughs and says no

if he does i will be minted if he take the job i wont be happy as i am a saints fan and last thing we need right now is a new manager

OK....who fired the first bullet, hope it wasn't you Kev or else you ain't getting that pie !!!!
I should have known better than to trust what Warnock was saying to his missus was true !!!!
Cannot believe it....a married man telling porkies !

basher if redknap get the job you will be buying pies for everyone at the blonde bash

What a joke Mandaric is.

I should have stuck to Phil Bull's ( bloke who started Timeform ) adage...." never bet on something that can talk "

Ironside...i'm sure kev's pie will be big enough for everyone, if you can prize it away from him with a mechanical digger

Just been told that Warnocks contract with portsmouth was that he would be sacked if they went down with a pay off of 300-500 thousand pounds. He would not accept these terms.
Clutching at straws that they might re-negotiate if things get desperate for Mandy.

Blimey! They can sack me if they want!

By chance I am coming to Nottingham tomorrow, where's your shop?



Just kidding, we all know that the normal wealth warning applies

I said to everyone that Warnock wouldn't leave Sheff United a week ago, but no-one on here would believe me...... ;D  :redcard: :redcard:

Thanks my friend, I feel so much better for that  ::)

LOL   ;D

wohoooooooooooooooooooo

lowe refuses permission for pompey to speak to redknap

the sudden surge in price has helped my postion

Knew i shoulden't have opened my big mouth...now i've got the sad task of seeing kev stuff himself.
Don't suppose i'm the first to witness such a toe curdling event.
Make sure you leave some for Ironside ok

you can still bet/lay warnock on betfair. 

I havent the bals/money to lay him at over 130 but money to be taken surely

silo i havent the money to lay at that price

but its maily people trying to clear there laibites that are betting on him now

Davies is down to 350/1


i still have my wee pound on 1000/1

redknap moving to 1.45

burley coming in..


there is a fortune to be made on this

and bigger fourtunes to be lost

kerr and sanchez have been named as people that will be aproached available at 50

thats more like it!

bookiebasher mentions Phil Bull, who was the founder of Timeform. Fascinating man, who I got to know quite well. Anyone know any Phil Bull stories? A quite extraodinary man, who lived in Halifax. Owned a lot of Racehorses over the years, always with ancient Greek names.

When Phil spioke, it was time to listen. Great, great man.

Mention of a "payoff" if Pompey got relgated reminded me of my Chairman when I was working, Mr John Kirkland OBE. For 40 or more years, John's Father, Jack, & then John himself, were Directors at Derby County. I believe Jack was instrumental in Cloughie departing, Jack believed that NO individual, even Brian Clough, was bigger than the club.

Anyway, when John was Chairman, or Vice-Chairman, he believed in running the Football Club along commercial lines. So he was against paying players wages if they got suspended. Quite right too.

But he used to get apoletic with rage at the mere suggestion that when employees (of Derby County, or his Construction Group, Bowmer & Kirkland) got dismissed for failing to deliver, they should get paid off. He would take their car keys off them immediately & give them NOTHING. He simply could not grasp why someone should fail, & get paid for failing. "It will disincentivise those that do their job properl;y" he told me a million times.

When I decided to retire, he ofered me a number of different positions within his Group, in a bid to keep me, but I'd burned out, & was not prepared to work for him unless I could give him maximum value, as I always had. I said, "Thanks John, but I'm all washed up, I can't go on, I just can't hack it any more, the Company has got too big for me, & I have some things to do in life before it's too late". ("My" company, owned by him but run by me was turning over £50 million plus by then). I had no contract - I don't believe in them, nor did he, so that was that, I asumed.

Imagine my shock when he says"OK Tony, I don't want to keep you if you are not happy. I will pay you 2 years salary, & you can keep your Company Car (a Merc). Organise your succession, & you can go". What a top, top man, who I truly idolse. We still keep in touch, & he's knocked out about Poker 425 & stuff, watches it regularly.

Don't know why I just told you all that, but there you go.

must have been nice getting that pay off.   My old company didnt really want me to hang around despite being a great asset to them.  Still, I was just glad to be out.

Nice story mate

 but I'm all washed up, I can't go on, I just can't hack it any more

Oops, that may get a repeat airing........occasionally!!
For anyone to spot values in any employee is a true sign of competency, my production manager took a temp off the shop floor and gave him an office job stating "he's far too intelligent to waste here".
I actually challenged him to an IQ test, shopfloor v staff (even though i am staff i regard myself as "one of the lads" though that's very tough!!).
He declined and i mention it as regularly as i can get away with :)

Jim Smith on 5Live reckons Harry will accept, aparently he's not 100% happy at So'ton

ah well.

i dont care either way as long as the prices keeps shifting i can turn a huge profit
keep backing when there are huge backers and keep laying when the layers are huge the price changes and i trade off

well i got £5 on pleat at 170 yesterday then put it up for sale at 160 thought it was a wasted £5 after no intrest dispite press mentioning his name yesterday went to toilet today came back and pleat went aslow at 60 after getting mention on sky sports so i get a free £50 on pleat but could of been a hell of a lot more if i didnt need to go for a call of nature

wow, nice going Ironside.  I need me some of that :D

Im down about £20 if Harry takes it

currently i am fully laid up on harry and and stand to lose £40 but if the field wins i get £62 and i have a select few that would give me £100+ some nearly 4 figures

i lost alot when warnock walked away yesterday and i was busy backing him at 4-1 so spent today resolving this

redknapp willl drift to 1.5 in a few hours where i tend to use most of the £62 i have on field to recover some of my loses on harry and wait for him to drift back to 1.3 again and replay the ths, as nothing will be done untill money and the market will continue to move i should clear my liabilty on harry just keep an eye on where the market chasers are putting there money and try and get in and out around that value

If Redknapp does go to 1.5, I could be in :D  Layed at 1.38 so should at least recover my loss.

the price is being kept artifically low while the backers get there bets laid off

thats why you see huge bets every know and then then as soon as the price moves down then come off

so i need to camp on betfair?

you can put in a bet name the price you think will be fair and hope that nothing drastic happens then if it reaches the price you want you will get it


2 huge rolls facing each other off at 1.24/5 20k v 10k

which every one backs down then the price will jump

they clashed on the 1.25 now lets see if the price rockets up

the problem is the market is priced at 103%  so for redknapp to move up someone has to come in and nobody has a clue who to back

if only we could start a rumour!

everyone seems to have tried that on the BF forum man there must be 50000 threads on it and thats no exagerating

Has Redknapp resigned from Saints?

think i need to get into this betfair lark - does anyone make any decent money doing this? - or is it just an interesting hobby?

Redknapp just left Southampton.

redknapp has resigned while i was sleeping serves me right for leaving postions open

if you know what you are doing you can make cash. I mearly put money in others pockets  -  Im happy though.  I generally just bet, I dont try and trade off

i have no idea what i am doing but i am still trading off my lose on redknapp only down about 20 now and up over 60 on the feild and a couple of hundred on the real rivals

lesson for betfair never leave a position open when you goto bed i left a lay open at 1.15 on redknapp last night with the knowledge that nothing would happen today with the saints being a PLC and milan being in ireland only for redknapp to resign

i also had bets open on kerr and sanchez at 100 mcliesh at 30 and robson at 80

knowing that with nothing happening today when i woke up only mcleish was under100

and he has only come in this evening due to him also likey to be unemployed on wednessday

my thinkig is milan will waiting till tuesday night if rangers get knocked out he will aproach mcleish

if rangers get thru he will appoint redknapp so i am still happy with my postion as i think rangers will lose to inter and porto will win and go thru

With Redknapp resigning, I can only see him becoming the new Pompey manager.

the fact he has resing means nothing unless milan is willing to pay the compensation he cant speak to him
milan is reluctant to give saints any money as he feels they stole redknapp in first place
anyway mcleish was always the 2nd choice and milan has been told he can speak to mcleish on wednessday but not to make it public and he can get mcleish for nothing as it will save rangers paying him £1mill in compensation
redknapp has always been 3rd choice

Not big movement but Sanchez seems to be moving in and Harry is out to 1.3.

OK Its all on betfair, but things are moving.  Im not so sure Harry will accept the job now.  I heard he will be out of things for up to 6 months on the radio this morning.

i traded off at 1.57 to go green all over

was on phone to robertHM at time and he was red all over apart from 3 but i talked him into a lay an he is now green all over

It's even better now, I laid Harry at 1.29, still in the green if he gets the job but all the others are stronger green. I am beginning to like this game.

when he reaches 1.58 back harry

That should be about the top of the market, I agree. But heaven knows when that might happen. I hate the idea of leaving a market open on an unattended machine.

i have layed redknapp again at this price its too good there will be drift back up tonight but i have to fly in morning so i am going to have to leave the postion open

btw easy to spot the guys trying to trade off there loses

they put a bet out that they want matched then put in a huge bet 2 or 3 points betting against there postion they want matched as soon as it gets matched they remove the huge bet

I backed harry at 2.0 :D  Layed him at 1.38 and Im going to break even on harry if he doesnt get it and be up if he does. - happy with that just glad to have covered some of my potential losses.

Didn't see that one coming at all!!! Harry's back at the helm at Fortress Fratton. How did you exchangers do then? P&L wise? Always been intrigued by them, but I'm not really a gambling man, the green beize of the poker table is as far as my fluttering goes Im afraid (and that's not too much like gambling to me tbh, it's the ultimate mind game).

I bet Warnock at 2.24 and layed him at 2.02 so a tiny profit. I never had the time to get on Harry etc and I'm gobsmacked hes gone there. And didnt he look happy in the press conference :D

Hah!!

Anyone else seen the news that Southampton have called for an investigation into betting exchanges? Quite a fair amount shifted, comparable to the outcome of the FA Cup! BetFair have signed an agreement of understanding with the FA so will help out with any investigations apparently. Interesting stuff!! Watch the exchanges and not what people are saying it seems.

yeah i heard that on the news this morning.   Betfair matched over 13.5m on the event = thats a lot surely

i took a profit of £4.40

i could have taken about £20 but had to goto bed on monday night

Just caught up on this thread.
Very interesting to be sure, but it sounds like a very dangerous game of making money.
