If you read my post again 59/60 you'll notice there is the caveat 'if you know what you're doing'. I'm not trying to be a smart-arse but I put my first bet on in 1962, I used to work for a bookie in the 60s, so I should know what I'm doing by now shouldn't I. Others may not.

Another factor is that these big firms are trying to tempt players into their on-line casinos which are guaranteed money spinners for them, the competition is intense and they're using horse racing and football betting as loss leaders to attract new customers onto their sites. So I take advantage of the favourable terms they offer for footy and racing and leave the on-line casinos to the sharks and mugs, I never venture therein.

I also forgot to mention the betting exchanges where you can lay bets off or act as the bookie if you want, a massive aid to anyone betting, which never used to exist. There's never been a better time to be a punter......if you know what you're doing.
