In my office-working lifetime one of the worst experiences was discovering what my peers earned, especially if it was more than me. Almost as bad was knowing that someone else knew how much I earned, regardless of whether it was more or less than them.
You really are better off not knowing. The resentment just burns you up.
Sceptical
When I worked in an office I just assumed everybody got paid more than I did. After all, you're not likely to get a pay rise turning up late to work every day.weemac wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:14 pmIn my office-working lifetime one of the worst experiences was discovering what my peers earned, especially if it was more than me.

Dogma is the enemy of progress. How do you expect to open the door if you do not believe it exists?malgilb wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:38 pmI'm afraid i am starting to get Sceptical about sports trading and what is being claimed by those that apparently make a success of it. I am not the cleverest person in the world but am far from the dumbest. I have viewed all the trading videos once , twice and sometimes many more. I have read the user guide until my eyes hurt and have purchased and downloaded "An Expert Guide". I have tried everything out many, many times. I'm not claiming that there is any dishonesty going on but i cannot see how anybody can predict or work out where the price is going with the way it jumps about so badly. I am not normally a sceptic and would like someone to prove without a doubt that trading on sports can be a way of making money.

nice! so you find the trends more stable than for the racing? ive tried scalping 20 minutes out last couple of days, think need to be careful having bets in the market around 1 hour as thats usually the team announcement

The big leagues have the volume in the market early doors and the trend is fairly predictable as long as the game selection is sensible. This one was fairly easy to predict, Lay odds @ 1.16 at HT! (maybe I got out too early)
I normally get involved when the team news is known, still quite safe overall...(unless the market wants to say otherwise, then just scratch it)
For this one, I tried something a little different....

I noticed when the 2nd goal went in on the Chelsea v Man City game the Over 2.5 odds jumped from 1.40 to 2.76 on three occasions before settling back to 1.38.

it seems some people are specialised on setting the prices as fast as possible after a goal, they must have an automation trying to check for unsuspended
say a price is 1.06/07 and you know after another goal price will settle at 1.02/1.03 its hard to get anywhere near front of queue some guys specialised on being fast on reforming the market
of course with higher prices like 1,5 its more difficult to estimate where it will settle exactly but still some people are very fast and confidently offering up new prices just 2,3 ticks apart

Between £400 and £700, stayed there for about 3 seconds each time. I guess it could have been someone's bot malfunctioning or human error.rik wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:49 pmwhat amounts?Archery1969 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 9:36 pmI noticed when the 2nd goal went in on the Chelsea v Man City game the Over 2.5 odds jumped from 1.40 to 2.76 on three occasions before settling back to 1.38.
