    DailyDonkey.com & Betting Bot

    Re: DailyDonkey.com & Betting Bot Don't know anything about the site or the system. Do they proof to achievable betfair prices and deduct commission? If not that would explain why they are displaying a profit, while you are losing. Some laying services out there proof to SP and/or don't deduct commission which is ridiculous really.

    Sgt.Sunshine's Home Improvement Novice Handicap Chase

    Re: Sgt.Sunshine's Home Improvement Novice Handicap Chase You're really not having much luck here :( I know some of them went off quite a bit shorter than the prices you picked up, which would suggest your selections are generally solid. Hope a few start going in for you. If it makes you feel any better, I tend to back much shorter prices than you and I haven't been able to find many winners the last couple of weeks. Its so frustrating when you back a horse at 2.0, it goes off at 1.57 and finishes nowhere :\

    Should Bookies be reported to the Gambling Commission?

    Re: Should Bookies be reported to the Gambling Commission?

    They should manage their risk by limiting ALL their customers not just a few
    I agree with this. Considering the overrounds applied by most bookies, they shouldn't need to restrict some customers and not others if they manage their prices properly. Pinnacle (and a couple of others) seem to manage their risk very well with a much smaller overround by constantly adjusting prices according to weight of money. Slapdash suggested fractional odds might be one reason they don't move with the times. It is much easier to adjust decimal prices. A lot of mugs use fractional odds though and the bookies would hate to lose them ;) I don't think the GC will care though to be honest. They didn't care when premierbet disappeared with some punters' money. Problem is the general public tends to view all gamblers as losers. They don't realise that some people actually make a decent profit over time..... or at least they would if bookies allowed them to continue to win!

    Predicting The English Premier League-using stats

    Re: Predicting The English Premier League-using stats 16 bets is nothing - you certainly don't need to necessarily worry yet or look into it. You are going to get losing runs with any system, especially when many of the prices you are betting on are quite big. This is the nature of betting. If the away wins have performed well in previous seasons then I think you should put it down to variance for the time being.

    Re: Virgin Festival of Poker - PL exclusive !!!!

    Thanks Noarfolk, well played by you also..... you were very scary when you had your massive chip lead (just before the final table) and kept raising..... :clap
    I was trying to get as many chips as possible so I could cruise into the top 3. I really didn't want to finish 4th again :lol Once I got to the FT I chilled out a bit :)

    Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Cheers GaF. I knew I was in with a shout as I had beaten DaMatrix's score from last week. Really close between the top 3 though so I'm chuffed to win it and glad I decided to play a couple more last night now!

    What promo's do you like?

    Re: What promo's do you like?

    So I think that if we had a higher buy-in promotion, it would be unrealistic to expect the poker sites to increase the added value proportionally. Which I think means the added value would have to be spread more thinly so that it didn't seem rather insignificant: if you play a five tournament league for $20 a go, and come fifth overall to get an extra $20, that doesn't really mean much to you, probably.
    I wouldn't expect the added value to increase proportionally but I would expect it to increase. As for the extra $20 I wouldn't be doing cartwheels but it would be a nice bonus. The main issue for me is that the individual games are worth playing, any added value would just be a nice bonus. I think VOJ's idea is an excellent one. Certainly worth considering anyway.

    Re: What promo's do you like?

    Do you remember the Virgin WSOP and VPoints added we had last year?
    Yeah, I came 2nd just missing the WSOP seat :( Think that was probably the last time I played a PL tournament. As for why people preferred paying $1 to enter the SO one to $10 to enter the Virgin one I have no idea. It makes no sense as the Virgin one was amazing value and I thought a $10 buy in was actually way too low. The SO one was simply not worth playing in my eyes unless you are new to the game or play solely for fun.
    I'd love to see higher buy in games, but they're not popular, and they're not supported :unsure
    I'll take your word for it GaF as you probably know the members of this forum better than anyone. I can't remember there ever being a high buy in PL game though. Btw, its good that you are asking what the members want and for feedback on the promo's. Hopefully a few more people will have an opinion.

    Re: What promo's do you like? Not much feedback in here :unsure First I will say any added money or packages you can get are obviously great. I'm probably going to be in the minority here but I would like to see bigger buy ins for PL events. I haven't played any PL games for ages simply because they haven't attracted me. It seems that they only cater for freerollers or people who are only prepared to buy in for a few dollars. Why not a range of buy ins for the PL tournys instead of always catering for the same players? Are there no players here prepared to play at a higher buy in level? Just having a look now. You have the betonbet $1000 added which is great but the individual games are only $2 to enter which is fine if you're just learning. I play to make money though as well as the enjoyment and I'm not prepared to play if my expected earnings per hour are just a few dollars. Similarly the sporting odds one costs $1. The Virgin one I have to admit I haven't had chance to look at in detail. It seems to me a lot to go through though for a 1 in 20 chance (maybe slightly less in some cases) of a £1400 prize of which only 40% is really yours! I like the concept of PL members having a stake in the winner but I think the spread is a bit too much. I'd prefer to see, say, 75% for the winner and then 25% distributed to the other 9. Would it not also be true that the poker companies would be more prepared to offer the added $$$ if the buy ins for the actual tournaments were higher? It seems logical that the more they get from PL players in rake/entry fees the more they would be prepared to give for promotions. Just to clarify I am not saying all the PL tournaments should have a high buy in but it would be nice to have some $25, $50 or $100 events now and again along with the smaller buy ins for the lower stake players.
