Fascinating interview. Best of Luck to Steve - seems a decent bloke

[@pauljones5066]

I used to cycle 15 miles there and back to Pontefract in the 1980s and go into the middle (free) and like you say it was all about just seeing the horses back then. Great memories. In the early gambling days (2002) I used to put £1500 from VISA into Betfair and pay the thing off in no time and I was away and running. My wife was SO understanding. I was blessed, literally. I still am.

Yrs ago I had this guys tipping number, the worst of the worst totally shocking.

Would you buy a 2nd hand car from Steve....probably not a good idea

[@gurney2931]

Surely paying on every time saved you 1% ????????????????

[@leehorton8365]

Also 6/4 an even money chance is a 25% edge not 10%. Bet £100 on two of them - stake £200. One loses one wins, returns £250 so 25% ROI. That a massive massive edge.

i really can't believe this guy makes money

[@pastthepost9533]

You clearly don’t understand betting. If you make something an evens money shot you think the horse has a 50% chance of winning so if you can get 6/4 which implies the chances are 40% of winning then your edge is 10%. Similarly if you make something an evens money chance (50% chance of winning) and you can get 9/4 (30.8% chance of winning) your edge is 19.2%. Your point about putting £100 on at evens and £100 at 6/4 makes absolute no sense he is on about the edge of backing one horse that is over priced. Simple as

@@pastthepost9533 i didnt say put a £100 at evens! I said if you back genuine even money chances at odds if 6/4 your ROI is 25% this is indisputable!!

[@pastthepost9533]

@@leehorton8365 you said if you back two. The point he makes is if you make something an evens money shot and you can get 6/4 you have a 10% edge. Look at it this way, if I back something at 10/1 that I make a 1/1 shot my edge is 40.9% as a 10/1 shot has a 9.1% chance and a 1/1 shot has a 50% chance therefore my edge is 40.9% however if the horse wins I will get a 900% ROI but that does not mean I have a 900% edge.

@@pastthepost9533 if you put a hundred pounds on a hundred (genuine) even money chances at odds of 6/4. How much profit would you expect to make?

If Steve is that good how does he get his money on? cos no bookie would take a farthing from him if this is the case
