Ashes 2013

[LeTiss]

Yes, I remember him Andy

I think the guy actually had his own blog, and after paying for his wedding, he embarked on trying to turn £100 into £100k

I'm not sure if it all went tits up though because he disappeared.

That must have been 2006/2007 - back in the days when BF were trying to encourage traders & even had their own travelling education team. I met Scott Ferguson at Brighton racecourse through their educational events - it's amazing how the company have changed in that time

Found the blog - looks like it hasn't been used for years bar a post trying to get you through an affiliate link.

Might be worth a read for cricket traders, may not as well:

That's a good read
Obviously those were pre-PC days!

Having a blog must be bloody tiresome & time consuming, I assume these were 2 reasons behind the retirement of Leon the Fixer

[andyfuller]

Sure you know, I was Leon (not sure from your post). That was partly the reason but it was mainly for the abuse I was getting for some reason

I am actually thinking of starting a new one up, but this time about my Financial Trading. The reason being that I felt it helped me a lot with my Betfair trading when I was starting out. Getting things down in words just seemed to help clarify things in my mind.

How's the cricket looking today?

[LeTiss]

Cricket is nicely poised, England have drifted this morning, but Australia still have some serious batting to do. An early wicket could see a big swing towards England

Yes, I knew you were Leon, that's why I mentioned it (reading my post again, I didn't make that clear)

[dmbusa]

In two minds which way to go today, I'm just a few miles from the ground and we have not a cloud in teh sky but lots of wind, so if it is the same there could make it an interesting day's cricket

[gazuty]

Australia bats deep. If sun, Australia makes runs. If clouds, England takes wickets.

Prediction, Australia small innings lead, England big second innings. Australia crumbles in fourth innings.

I wish it wasn't so but that is what I fear.

Where in Notts are you? Are you County or Forest?

[dmbusa]

I am visiting for work at the moment, near the power station on the a453, I actually live in Wolves

[andyfuller]

You are quite literally just down the road from me!

Shame they have closed the golf course at the Power Station, would be a nice day for a round today! Are you working at the Power Station or on the A453 expansion?

Small world!

[dmbusa]

Neither I am inspecting properties that the company owns and rent out in the area, yes it would be a good day for a round of golf

[dmbusa]

Well I got it wrong this morning really thought that Australia would bat well this morning

Small innings lead prediction in tatters. Australia bats deep, as a puddle on a motorway in the sun .....

Was hoping for a much tighter contest.

Same here but only from a trading point of view

[LeTiss]

I'm not trying to wind any Aussies up here, but this is going to be a very painful Ashes series if Australia continue to bat like this
