    Hi All,

    thank you very much for all the lovely messages of support. I've also had lots of PM's asking what I do on Betfair. I'm more than happy to tell everyone in exchange for a little bit of info from yourselves - what are you doing to make money?

    In reply to the the people who mentioned my post last year, that was a bit of a leading one I admit! I had a system which worked amazingly well for an event which occurred last year. I turned a £10 investment into £882 over a month. I wanted to make a little extra by selling the sysytem (I had it on Ebay) but no-one bought it!!!

    I promise that this was a genuine one though - and almost as simple as my usual Betfair method. Everyone at work copied me and made a nice little sum.

    In regard to why the post was so long, I wrote it over a few nights on word and then pasted it into the forum.

    Going forward, I hope everyone can take my post in the sense that it is meant. I want to make more money - and I want to help others make more money. No hidden agenda.

    Ross.

    Another cautionary post:

    Why would anyone with a surefire winning plan want to sell it (or reveal it) to another soul?

    This type of idea as old as the hills, as everyone who remembers Keynsham will tell you!

    Call me cynical, but that smacks of 'you don't want to be the only one that misses out, do you?'
  • how much were you selling the system for on ebay?

    Your self assessment must be a complete nightmare.
    CHEAP doesn't mean ETHICAL
  • Well done for working towards a goal like that and not just talking about doing it one day.....

    I'm absolutely amazed at your creativity and ingenuity. Your motivation leaves me breathless with admiration.

    can't add much, but regarding competitions. I've been entering online comps for several years and won some nice prizes. The most expensive being a £1000 cooker from Comet. However, that cost me a new kitchen!

    Yesterday I received a great nest box, which was a prize from entering a competition. Some people win lots, others little, depending on how much time you have to spend on your hobby, and it doesn't sound like you have much time left in your day.

    I think you will find other ways of making money more lucrative. Good luck in your future endeavours.
