Larry's challenge thread

[Larry David]

I am not doubting his knowledge in specific areas,  I don't doubt that.

I have no idea on this one but can any of you tell me how
Much a bookie online would accept on a Portland bet at 1/12?

I hear a lot of 'bank job', 'max bet' words thrown around.

150k bank lets say, question for arbboy or any of you.

Some of you will follow arbboy in on a 1/12 banker, 6k win.  It goes wrong -6k.   Next bet comes up at 1/10 and arb makes it 1/25,with that bank what are you advising one of your 'followers' to stake(if you were advising) on the following bet?? 10k to win 1k?? 10k for the next 5 1/10 bets?  Just want to know your strategy for such a bet. Just a discussion,not wanting an argument. Risk reward is awful no matter what you think the price is and if it isn't possible to get much on at these odds on prices it is a long grind.

Hmmmm, now that really is 50/50,no edge at all.  What a tough decision.

Over 240 views,this is fantastic

Please receive as well as transmit. I am reading some of your posts and cringing a bit to be frank

its about staking to correct unit sizes within a bankroll

when someone says "bank job" or "max bet" it might be 3 or 5% of bankroll, no more than that

[edgascoigne]

Amusingly enough, given the content of the thread, if Arb was allowed to bet whatever he wants, in whatever size, with say a caveat of one of 6 books offering the prices, and betting on tick, I would merrily back Arb at 1/33 over the course of a year.

My strategy is the same as any other bet whether it is 1/100 or 100/1 just like any other successful long term winning gambler.  The bigger the difference in price between the price the bet is and the price i can get as a % the bigger the % of my bankroll i have on. I would imagine most bookmakers given the chance to lay a 500/1 shot at 12/1 would probably go quite deep into their till as they don't get that kind of edge very often.

No idea where 'bank jobs' comes from.  I have never used that phrase in my life.  I am done with the whole thing and would rather if you didn't comment on any more of my posts Larry as you have clearly proved you don't have a clue about the game.  Over and out.

[Larry David]

Yes I am aware of that,150k bank 6k Portland falls within that number.

Yes a staking plan is needed but  the bets placed on the TFT thread are based on the price.  Evs shot lets go £100. 3/1 £20. 200/1 gilles simon lets just go £5.  All the different tipsters are just putting up a stake amount   Correct staking plan?

I shouldn't even acknowledge this post from a guy who backs horses based off speed ratings in handicaps with less than 3k to most winning horses and who obviously thinks these owners make their money from prize funds   You should give up now and stop being so naive, you must be one of these punters who are in shock when a 33/1 winner goes in with form reading 7889PU9.   Pantomime logic indeed.

I may not work your way but it is naive to suggest I have no idea about this game,very foolish.

No problem,Won't comment on any of the threads,no problem at all.

If you peruse our racing thread, you will see that Simon is a very shrewd and profitable horse punter. Horses for courses, so to speak, he does very well.
