Anyone else read it? It had me borderline feather spitting for hours. You can guarantee more than a few will believe it, try it, and lose the lot.

Was that a full-page advertisement for Betfair ?

in the race he won 1.5m, laying a 6/4 shot, does this mean he stood to lose 2.25m?

yep.

I love how this is news.."You can be the bookie on Betfair and lay horses!"

Blatant Betfair Advertorial imo.

so  this guy stood to lose over 2m on one race with a bankroll less than 20m

so the bottom line he is a ballsy bettor who ran good?

Interesting --------          News of the World is a newspaper you can trust -  press release from betfair -


We have been contacted by several customers in relation to an article in Sunday’s News of the World. We would like to make it clear that Betfair was not asked to comment on, or validate any aspect of, the article ahead of publication.

Although we cannot comment on the activities of any specific customer, some facts which may be relevant to some of the claims made in the article include:

the biggest winner in the relevant Britain’s Got Talent market (Susan Boyle winner - Yes/No) won less than £3,000.

No Betfair customer won £1.5 million or anything even vaguely approaching that amount betting on the Champion Hurdle.

No Betfair customer won £500,000 or anything even vaguely approaching that amount laying Monsieur Chevalier at Royal Ascot

The figures shown in the account statement screenshot in the News Of the World do not reconcile to any Betfair account.

The monies present in a Betfair account are obviously no indicator of the sums won or lost on the account.

We would encourage customers to be wary of the claims of anyone purporting to have a profitable system or strategy.

We would encourage customers to retain a healthy degree of scepticism toward any claims made in the press which are not validated by Betfair.

Betfair >>>>>>> News of the World

vwd betfair

wp betfair, free double-page advert, then take the moral high ground, while all the time charging certain winning punters 20% commission.

Yikes!

blatant 'im a big winner on betfair' brag imo

Good old Guardian, best racing desk of any national paper imo. Although The Times prob have the best tipster, Rob Wright is v.v.v.good.

WP betfair.
