Bald just admit you are clueless like all your traders and head of trading and say you fecked up.  Digging a hole this deep is just embarrassing.  Everyone in the game knows you are the most clueless firm going you don't have to pretend otherwise.  The interview i had with the head of trading at bald in early 2004 with his two right hand men was comical.  Their PR man sounds like he is an ex betting shop manager. They even grimmed me on my travelling expenses even though they were agreed pre interview attendance.  Horrid firm of the highest order.

Maybe Freddie isn't so bad after all  Cheesy

Only reason i attended the interview was to effectively get paid the petrol money to travel from the south coast when i was with Canbet to a bet365 jolly at stoke via Warrington.  Must be the only firm in the world who before interviewing you ask you what your current salary is then invite you to an interview which pays less than half of what you are currently earning and expect you to seriously take a 55% pay cut to move to Warrington to go and work for bald!

Haha, brilliant!

It's not much fun having one bet in an event and it to be a 1/50 shot. He can obviously win and he might go and be a great player. I just think when he's been in contention he's generally been overbet in running and he's seemed a bit temperamental and slightly impatient. Would certainly not be my main sport but I do watch a fair bit of golf and it's just something that has stuck in my mind.

 Not sure if it's still there as it wasn't clear that it was there at all but somebody told me Paddy were 14/1 Scott in the shops even though it says 12/1 on oddschecker. Don't think I have a penny on yet but at 123456 it looks a pretty solid bet.




nice spot.  another shocking offer in reality gives u a bonus on nothing more than a £5 bet if you fancy a 100/1 shot

What price would Chelsea need to be qualify to make it a bet ? 3/1 looks appealing to me at Moral and BetDictor, Betfair is 3.8.

I originally just reposted this to hopefully get a response.

Then checked Oddschecker, sighs. The price drift due to Zlatan ? On oddschecker it already had him as being out in one of the OPTA facts.

Just caught up on 50 pages of Fred having been otherwise engaged (I play a bit of poker in my spare time, u gambling guys should try it, you'd enjoy it). What I've learnt in those 50 pages, from two of my favourite posters:

- Being fondled by Edward Scissorhands isn't much fun
- Betting one of the other horses when the favourite is a bit of a 'woofer' is no bad thing

As u were...

Welcome back Mr K, & congrats on another successful foray to the Colonies.

In a Press Release about last weekend's GUKPT Edinburgh, Miss Trodd, she of the Amy, noted......


Teng wasn’t the only player at the final table in search of his second GUKPT trophy – Grosvenor Casinos’ sponsored professional Jeff Kimber was also back on familiar territory making his 9th Final Table in GUKPT history. Just a week after winning the PKR Mix Max Event in London, Kimber was a strong contender to take yet another title. Unfortunately for him the poker Gods didn’t have his back this time, when his QQ was cruelly outdrawn by Gray’s 99, sending him home in 4th place.


Useless, bloody useless. Why would you not fold Queens pre-flop, like Chinese Frankie?

Shocker.

Will be sure to lay some off if he looks too short.  I was thinking my Masters book wasn't going to be that big this year, but...

Betfair sportsbook are offering payout as winner if 2nd to Rory, making someone like Stenson effectively 36.5/1 or so.  Looks a good offer to me, hence I am on 8 players more than I was 15 minutes ago.  It seems that you can make the win part effectively exchange or better and then beat the place part on the exchange (you don't get the bonus on that part).  Sort of bet that appeals to the inner maths geek


it only applies to your first bet on the tournament and is capped at £25 stake / £500 payout fwiw

nice spot.  another shocking offer in reality gives u a bonus on nothing more than a £5 bet if you fancy a 100/1 shot

Cheers

These people really are tosspots, I clicked the T and Cs off oddschecker and that took me to a page on the sportsbook which wasn't the T and Cs, as that needed another click.   Hope one of them wins anyway for moral justice reasons.

Now I can't edit my old post, fantastic, and I can't report it either, because Blonde thinks it would make no sense to report my own post.  Beg to differ on that.

Cheers.  I just reported nigdawg's post.  That would work the same?  really don't want to be effectively advertising misleading offers from companies.  Obviously nothing worng with NigDawg's message, just can't report my own post.

edit, their advert says" 2.   If Rory McIlroy wins, we'll pay out on the runner up as a winner",

How is paying out free bets and limiting the payout, paying out like a winner, unless that is the new choice method of payment from Betfair.  Wouldn't really surprise me.

David,

I got the "Report post" note, thanks.

It's not easy to delete all trace, as Post has been quoted x-teen times now, but I've deleted most of what you requested. All looks a bit peculiar now, but it'll drop off the page shortly.

Sorry, bit short of time, as I am working on my Masters Selections, so I can wise up Channing & Co.

I registered a while ago have never used.

I had a very excitable jamaican sounding man shouting at me earlier (phoned my mobile from a 020 number) telling me somebody won 400k on the site yesterday and i should bet with them as they were a "lucky firm"

Not sure such calls fall into a responsible gambling remit but i could not fault his enthusiasm.

Bobby1 has sent me a really insightful series of comments about The Masters Golf.

He sent them to me so that I could use them on The Masters Betting preview at 8pm, ch 861, so that I would not look like a total schmuck amongst all the experts.

Sadly, it is only a ONE HOUR Show, so it's unlikely I'll be able to read many of them out.

I've dropped Bobby a note, asking for his permission, & if he has no objections, I'll Post them up here first thing in the morning.

victor our old friend is offering moneyback if a penalty is scored in Chelsea v Psg tonight

Psg have conceded 3 in the last 4 cl matches they have played.

No idea what to use it on/terms/markets applies in but someone may find it useful.

I opened an account with Betway.  It lasted approximately 90 seconds.  I can't be entirely sure because I placed one bet and then a small period later I decided to place another bet on something different and my account was restricted to 55p at 10/11.  My first bet was on something fairly obscure if I recall correctly but it seemed like massive overkill to me.
