    I crept downstairs in the
    middle of the night
    and altered my post
    Fear :(

    When greed outweighs fear
    the stairs creep down
    in the middle of the night
    and the whole world changes.

    line up the central banks
    and provide them a very large mirror

    A boot click on every corner
    we are heading for an era of
    strict regulation.

    Betfair has 1.2 million customers
    few are affected
    but will the mirror crack ?

    ( I have crept downstairs
    to make a small amendment
    at the start of a nervous week)

    As for steering people in any direction
    I don’t think I could do that Mr Ricly.
    I am a tuppenny bit reporter
    who just sees things differently.

    I will report any matters
    that may be useful

    Todays news…

    .. Late this evening
    a man fitting the description of
    one Troy Mcclure was found
    washed up on the popular beach resort
    of Cape Cod.
    Betfair police were the first to find him.
    In his left back pocket was an IOU
    for just over a million squid
    and in the right
    a large fish with a strange expression
    that seemed to suggest it had
    exited his life
    in an unnatural way.
    A fish scientist later confirmed the fish
    had died from too much general petting.

    Col. Archaeus Tory
    holidaying in the vicinity
    took R&R time off to identify the body.
    He was led away screaming
    " this is a business decision "

    .the illegitimate son of betfair
    has regained his ability to post.
    Halleluja, but in the post
    he received a box of eggs
    and a large moustache.

    …he intends to tread very carefully

    Colin good morning to you. :)
    I have just woken
    and was in the process
    of removing the post
    when I saw your words.
    I will now leave it
    and await my fate.
    Had you written a minute later
    it would have been gone…

    Before retiring to bed
    I measured my neck
    in the small bathroom mirror.
    It was a mere two and a half inches
    about the width of a tin of krone
    and a full five inches slimmer
    than that of the dead slave Sparticus.

    Maybe it was for that reason
    that when I awoke
    I crept down the stairs
    with a feeling for
    tight lipped preservation.

    These are sensitive times
    and I will hold my tongue
    and rather let nature
    simply take its course.
    I intend to think long and hard
    before retiring
    to the little backwater
    the edge of reezan
    where I keep my chickens

    Will someone please give me the last rites :D

    dream

    I had a nightmare last night
    that woke me up swearing
    in the earlies.
    I dreamt that three monkeys
    were sitting around a table
    actually deciding the future
    of the whole western world.
    Vague and hard to decipher
    exactly what they were saying
    although I did make out one saying
    to the other two
    this is not a bad deal :?
    A woman poopped her head in
    and asked what they might want to eat
    and again it was hard to make out
    but pretty sure one of them ordered Pollocks.

    As for Mr Adrian Black
    who founded the Betair exchange
    modelling it on the New York
    Stock Exchange.
    I have always trusted him
    in the past, and still trust him.
    He has made his
    backseat position very clear
    and I respect his decision.
    He owes us nothing.

    I still remain tight lipped
    on the premium charge
    or more importantly the story behind
    why and how it happened.
    I have several speculative theories
    that have developed through my searching mindwork.

    I had the pleasure to write
    a long historical record
    of Betfair’s first two years.

    As for the inbetweenies
    the years from then to now
    fear grips me as I see
    a mountain of eggshells
    and me at the bottom
    fighting an awkard army
    of expectant mens.

    A young jeaned up american woman
    ( she was on her mobile)
    this morning
    grabbed the last reduced leg of lamb
    from under my inspecting nose
    and shouted down the phone
    dude I’ve got one.
    Just like the central bankers
    they had all the cake in sight
    but couldn’t stop the smaller
    testosterone filled banks from stuffing their cheeks
    I tell you my morality is changin
    in this dog eat dog world…
    Despite the bitch in Tescos
    I would put the aptly named
    Nicola Horlick and
    all the changing hems
    in charge of everything.
    making sure of course
    she was actually Nicola
    and that she and they
    removed every trace of
    their whys and fronts.

    McClure was buried quietly in cyberspace
    strange it was a murky day
    with a persistent rain.
    The same sort of muddy weather when
    they buried Amadeus Mozart.
    Two talented lives
    both played the keys.

    Classic post Gamble

    A small bird perched on my hedge this morning and told me that Blue whale Betfair , whose very soul is buried in deep water due to years of fantastic success could be in trouble as Deep Purple are beavering away at getting bots to work , this is imminent , pressing and urgent

    its going to be all out war

    When the Big blue finally surfaces for air , will it be too late to exchange any real blows with the enemy ??

    Mozart had a good innings,
    The Boy McClure would have seen his sixes clear the ropes while the bowler was taking his run up for the rest of us,
    The public got their first glimpse of his opera The Magic Flute when it was premiered on 30th September,
    It proved to be the last thing he did.

    The Pied Piper promised to lure the rats to the big blue river with a magic flute of his own,
    Sadly he lured all the town’s children along to

    50% of the posts are from Gamble so its inevitable.

    ‘Facing the Thames in a quiet back street of Hammersmith in west London, the Betfair office is akin to the chateaux where generals planned great assaults and changed the course of European wars. It is relaxed, with more than a hint of media company or dot-com to the brightly coloured walls, but take a peek into the control room through the reception window, or walk through the office past troops of casually dressed workers, and there is a hum of activity, the activity that leads to change.’

    That hum of activity is silent in the late hours however due to several reported sightings of a small man seen stalking the black corridors of the building late at night wielding a very large sword. The often terrified persons who have had the displeasure to sight him report he is dressed soley and curiously in dark blue vest and black socks.
    On the vest are scrawled the words I have your soul.

    One of the directors of the company who was last to lock up reportedly heard the public addres system bursting into song and emittng a mysterious message. He had the presence of mind to scribble it down

    aint gonna need to tell the truth,
    tell no lie
    everytrhing you think do and say
    is programmed in the bot

    Betfair matches more outcomes per minute
    than all cumulative stock markets in the western world.

    I find it hard to even light a match

    Betfair has no debts and at last count
    200 million in the coffers

    I am feeling the pinch
    and scratched around this evening to buy
    half price crone and two for one pizza.
    The nearest I got to winning the lottery
    was buying a six pack of eggs
    with three double yolkers

    I am no champion to take Betfair on,
    we are star cross matched lovers
    and best execution is unlikely.
    Direct confrontation should be a last resort
    and I favour the subtle approach of
    throwing up a torrent of words coupled with blue jokes
    and kindness.
    I am their illegitimate son
    and have a billion and a half aspirations for the company.

    Jim Cremin in the post defended their new margin enhancements
    but wondered at the boy racer philosophy
    of hari kari traders spilling their own lifeblood liquidity
    aka Terry Griffiths shaving off his sampson to audition for Kojak.

    There is still the spirit of openess
    with blue chat.
    No bookmaker provides this :shock:

    Betfair do operate their licence as a bookmaker
    but in a punter friendly environment of minimal overounds
    They have a bet matching service which has
    brought accolades and won awards.
    Margins are tight and it needs to gear itself to more profit.

    Have you got a light boy ?

    It was the annual who is the slimiest Clare awards and the usual walkover was taking a massive walk in the market

    The reigning champ from No Morals quivered as the contender entered the ring

    Hi, I’m Tony Clare, like Tony Blair just that little notch higher and I’ve come to take what’s rightfully mine from – the ‘Slimey’ Clare moniker. What has this guy ever done? Made up a few fairy tales about bets struck, flushed the odd sleeper down the shanks……he’s an amateur.

    There’s only one pantomime villain worth his salt on this stage and that’s me. Got my money in a recently departed Investment Bank and parlayed it up into Big Blue. Looking to repeat the trick of coming up with nice complex equations that nobody realises spell DOOM because nobody understands them. I don’t cause these accidents, I just see them in my rear view mirror. Taxes are great as long as someone else is paying them. I could go on about the Chief incidents, the cross-matching bot put aways, the commission hikes but I can see the Barking Bandit is already out for the count……..
