An army of ants...

Hi again.

i like to see that some readers have this bug inside them and do really think about it. That was obvious on the emails i received concerning the way we approach betting. I'm on the scene for more than 15 years. The early days where Coral and Hill where trying to cut off the local british tax(British readers will remember the classic question' You wish to pay the tax now?) by oppening the internet door and Gibraltar licencing , the golden days of Latin American Soccer where the sportbook had no idea and published unimaginable prices on outsiders , the opening of the Asian Markets in the early 2000's and now we are in the days of trading , live-betting and everything is betable.

My experience just taught me one think. The times have changed , the "sport" becomes more and more difficult , maybe some basic rules apply but prices move so fast , news are getting digged out so easily and sportbooks are more aware(BetRadar or HolyRadar). One person is now too difficult to broke through , maybe this person can do well for 1 , 2 or 5 years but time always takes its toll and certainly sooner of later you will enter a bad run. I have counted that in a time window of 10 years it is normal for a good punter to enter have 12 - 18 months of bad run. This could happen partially , e.g. 1 or 2 months per season or sometimes you may enter a bad run of 6-8 months.

There is only 1 way to avoid paying this bad months. By simply creating a cell , a cell of people you trust that you can follow and put your money on their thoughts. By creating this cell you will avoid those bad months or runs and you will be covered. The basic idea we had with my partner Argie was that when we started planning the website.

Maybe is time to do the same , you have a friend that you rate good? Join forces and you will see that plus is getting bigger. You have a friend that you count weaker than you? Help him , make him learn , he may help you on the future (most of the times he doesn't but guys let's be optimistic).

I remember something i've read in a book written by a great Tibetan leader , Saskya Pandita on my University days.

"When many work together for a goal, Great things may be accomplished. It is said a lion cub was killed By a single colony of ants."

Try to build the colony and kill the cub... But remember we talk about genuine ants :)

Have a nice day...

Good old days, yeah... I know one guy, still working in one of the big online bookies. May be 8-9 years ago they were the first bookie to offer odds on Mexico and my friend was their compiler (never knew that he has a clue about Mexican footie) :). Once I asked him how the odds come and he said "Simple, I just look at the standing"...
