Surprised at your comments.... as I thought you were a bit more savvy.

My selections are in profit on my Premier League  thread so maybe it would help to read its results first before making inaccurate comments, unless of course you just felt like making a random insult .

Good Luck

Your selections come across as uninformed, which, combined with some of your other betting-related posts makes me think that you know a lot less than you seem to think and claim you do. Would be more interesting if you were beating Asia with your bets, do you have a record of those?

lol, the guy makes some bets that don't win this weekend and he is no good, you do seem very knowledgeable re gambling as you do post on some of the threads. It would be nice if you actually contributed to the thread instead of trying to pick everyone else apart.

No pressure, if you feel like joining in, it would be far better than just appearing like Mr Benns mate to take a pop now and again.

Phil ...some people have opinions, some just wish to challenge others, as they have nothing significant to say other than rant on about EV as if its the only word known to man kind.

To be honest I have no wish to engage with people that breed negativity .

Peace and Good Karma is a nicer place to be.

rofl, just joking/ results orientated based on the start to the thread.

I know mate, wasn't aimed at you at all.

Just tilts me to see someone who doesn't seem to be very good at this (which obviously fine in of itself!) offering advice to people as if he is good. Not being results orientated either, I'd be massively odds on that looking at his record vs Asia, it would be down.

But that is interaction mate, its what forums do. People also came on and gave some fancies that went well. Its about sharing what you fancy and cheering each others selections on and a bit of gloating and leg pulling, Keith and Greg put up a couple of winners which was nice, tho you chose not to interact at that point but did when you wanted to give out some stick.

The bit about Asian markets is irrelevant as not everyone will be poring over SBO all day to track the markets that thoroughly, it sounds like you have a really good record playing in that market, or using that market's fluidity to make it pay.

It would be great to hear about that rather than this/that guy isn't very good.

board is titled "betting tips and sport discussion" as long as your posts come under that broad category then great - whether they win or not or whether someone else values them or not. - its all fair game as long as it sparks a discussion.

Two mind about this - on the one hand I think this is a really great board and it is nice that there are people of all levels here.  A handful (Keith, Brent, Dubai etc) if they posted something I would almost instantly and blindly bet it.  I respect their judgement and ability and think it is an honour to be able to interact with them.  Others are clearly competent with good ideas but maybe need a bit of work on other areas like bankroll management, number of bets, concepts of value etc.  That is fine.  We all start somewhere and so many seem willing to learn.  I share bobbys slight frsutration that adn doesn't really share his own knowledge or tips but he is clearly very knowledgable and when he does post about specific events and games his posts are amongst the best you will read online.  Go and read his comments on Claypoles top prem scorer thread and you will see that.  Guess what i am taking a long time to say is I kind of agree it would be great if more of your posts were positive (and numerous) because when they are they are superb and when they are knocking someone they don't add much.

Right, I'll attempt to be less critical in future, fair enough.

As for 'contributing more'? Well, tbf, there are plenty of reasons not to contribute more free info!

I cannot see the harm in giving out "free info".

I will already had what I want on before I post it (it's bobby's speciality to post good info without backing it first  ) and if putting it on here helps even one person nick a few quid, then that's great - we are after all trying to do the same thing, win money from the vermin bookmakers (apologies bookiebasher if you are reading this!).

Also, by posting a selection, someone might make a good argument why it's not a good bet which I have missed in my analysis. This could give me the opportunity to get out of my bet if I so choose.

This is a community where information is given and passed on. If I'm not giving my opinion on various events I'd feel a bit of a fraud just sucking up the good info found on here and not giving anything back. That's why I'm slightly critical of boldie. I think he is using this board for his own ends and he doesn't give back enough.

I choose whose posts to take notice of and whose to ignore.

I haven't read enough of Fraser's posts/opinions to decide if I want to follow his selections or not, but at the very least he is contributing and sparking debate. That has got to be a good thing.

Yeah I understand that if you are taking a systematic approach and posting may give that away then you would not want to do that but I am sure almost none of us post every bet we have.  On some days I bet literally 20 horses and have some sources i have said i wouldn't pass on to anyone so I respect that but I am also keen to put as something back into blonde because I get so much out of it.  One thing I have found in this game is you have to constantly evolve to keep ahead and the best way to do this is to talk to other punters and share ideas and you can't really do that if you aren't willing to open up.

+1 to the last two posts. Massive heros


Even though I have stopped/severley cut down my gambling this year, this is still one of my fav boards. Love seeing things from the perspective of the full time punters.

Fraser is a full on class act. Even though i've never followed his selections i don't think i could display close to the amount of poise he shows in responses to some of the posts aimed at him.
