    I am sure there are various blacksmith accounts in profit. Sadly my own account is at a loss, but I still bet mainly on course in cash. Call me a traditionalist.

    They give the London Evening Standard away these days – you don’t think Barry would actually pay for it, do you? – which means, ironically, that you can’t get your hands on it at this time of night. As I have just found.

    latching on to the words "in UK":

    apart from Ireland and mainland Europe and farther afield, there are some discrete legal jurisdictions in that part of the North Atlantic which are not part of the UK:

    Isle of Man (approx pop 76,000)
    Jersey (87,000)
    Guernsey (60,000)
    Alderney (2,400)
    Sark (600)

    might he be saying that all BF’s former UK shrewdies have now quit the UK ?

    or that the premium charge has done for them ?

    Obviously a reasonable amount of UK punters win on Betfair or is this headline just a play on words regarding the premium charge and the recent changes to it.

    Hopefully this article will appear on the internet sometime in the future.

    It’s not very fair at all if you ask me. Cheeky sods just realised they were taking cut out of my profits. obviously that’s this commission thing. they don’t tell you about it though do they. flamin cheek

    Yeah apparently they dip their hands into peoples winnings to give themselves money to advertise. So you can sleep safe in the knowledge that you’ll win less money in order to make them richer.

    Definitely not true.

    I read somewhere else that the quote was "win

    consistently

    ", in which case you might want to latch on to the word "consistently", m’lud.

    What does ‘win’ mean and what does ‘consitently’ mean?

    Profit??? in one day/month/year/decade???

    Win consistently, make a profit

    Win consistently, make a loss

    Win inconsistently, make a profit

    Win inconsistently, make a loss

    ??? :? :?

    Like they say with fruit machines, the only winner is the owner.

    Barry owns the odds, Betfair own the commision

    We are just the bate, keep em coming boys!

    In a gold rush the only ones guaranteed a profit are those selling shovels and picks.

    I know several punters that CONSISTENTLY win playing in-running that live in London.

    If being a fisherman is asking the question, who’s telling fibs?

    pass me rod
