Out of trading

[RacingGuy]

I was making €2500 pounds a month with pre race scalping and taking them into in-play without any risk. I was doing it on my friend's account and now he's married he don't wanna do it anymore. Been out of trading for 2 months now. What to do???

Nice one thats improved quickly from £1500!

Did your friend not want £500 a month free to let you keep going with it?

Open your own account?

OP, send me a few screenshots and I'll pay you 36x the monthly earnings to teach me.

Terrible advice. Clearly the only solution here is a divorce. There's gotta be ways to make that happen.

Take up knitting, it's pretty theraputic.

OP I'm confused. You have not traded for 2 months, but in March you were making 1.5k a month ? Now its 2.5k a month?

Terrible advice

Terrible friend too, if he does not adhere to the bro code

Is the difference really that big to justify calling someone out on it?

We were sometimes a bit quick to jump at peoples throats in the past, probably more sensible to give ppl the benefit of the doubt, than to shoot first and ask questions last

In any case it's nice to hear he's made good progress in recent months

Maybe he's only been out for 2 days but it "felt" like 2 months

Yep, in all seriousness my 2 questions would be:

1. Wtf happened to your own account

2. Does the edge come from both pre and inplay or just one

1) Can't remember own figures
2) Interchanges between dollars and euro pounds?
3) Has a friend that doesn't want free money
4) Can't access account
5) Very successful trader yet does not seem to know the basics


Come on Kai. I'm out of red flags. I'm all for being polite but this may be some sort of subtle hustle or unfortunately a gambling problem. I have not handled it well and should be careful to make sure the forum becomes a welcoming space but equally there is a risk of users handing over account details. Hindsight I should have just flagged to a moderator and left it at that.

Could be genuine, but most likely fishing for PMs offering accounts.

Easy enough for mods to sort out if they think it ends up warranting the use of the banhammer, if bro is playing some long con to get accs etc

In the meantime better to just relax and embrace the uncertainty

If he's not genuine they'll ban him quicker than Betfair
