    The other day I looked into my diary from  early days of Flutter and Betfair, and noticed that of the 50 odd regulars in the Blue Corner, over 90% are no longer chatting.

    If this % was followed through to the trading rooms also what company could carry on with that sort loss,

    In the early days one of the computor greats I spoke to was GARRY not only bright as a button he was friendly and helpfull his advice on certain aspects of exchnage betting were well ahead of the time.

    I think he went to South Africa, however I lost touch anyone know were he is??

    Fortunes made, or the Workhouse?

    I suspect that is the case.  The BF forum is a joke, full of lamers with nothing better to do than to put people away.  I’m glad i’m no longer part of that scene.  Posting on there is a waste of life.

    What’s to post there anymore? A sad decline from the glory days. Does anyone remember the guiness affair? It all went downhill wehn they split it up into categories.

    I hear Gary is alive and well and running his own forum these days.

    I only got on line relatively recently, but on the rare occasion I do visit the Betfair forum I find it impossible to find anything of interest. I would certainly agree that it is split into far too many categories, you don’t know where to start.

    there is no fool like an :old: fool or ?

    ..and that last posting may have been MASSIVE WASTAGE<br>but where were the takers ?<br> <br>All sitting in rickety ol’ chairs like me<br>worried to death<br>that the old gods of betfair<br>might hiss and dissaprove<br>and creak away their haunched,<br>moss covered statues <br>from the uncertain shade of the blue grass mountains<br>to big squirrel down,<br> centering into the bowels of the red earth<br>to cake their limbs in certaiin undisturbed glory,<br>inviolate, immortal.

    Betting Exchanges are a modern concept that has revolutionised punting for a square eyed few.
