I would say this thread sums up the Bet Angel forum pretty well, I've been floating about for a good long while, and for 10+ years wet behind the ears punters eager to make some side money come in, only to be shot down by the likes of Shaun, Kai and Euler et al....

And they aren't wrong.... at the end of the day, we are all losing money to someone, the only real actor making "consistent" money is the exchange, and even they seem to be having a tough time of it reading their financial reports.

The real question is, are we all losing to the same group of actors? Or is it more that we are all just passing money to each other in some zero-sum game?

I've been trying to find some consistent way to make money on Betfair for about 5 years, to no avail.... YTD -£500, which is better than some previous years #progress :lol:

It's absolutely possible to be consistently profitable. Almost 7 years since I took redundancy and Betfair has been my sole income ever since. It's hard work, mind, but a much better lifestyle and income than my previous job.
