Playing Poker and Being Fit E-mail
Friday, 09 May 2008

Since my last blog entry almost 2 months ago, I have been playing poker a lot and also started a new website with a friend of mine. I have lost interest in publishing my poker results apart from the tournament ones, because I don't see how that would be beneficial for my blog's readers. I'd rather post informative articles which would be useful for anyone who wants to improve his poker skills or for any newbie discovering this game nowadays.

I also met a couple of Betfair employees who happen to have become good friends of mine and we get to meet now and then. This time we didn't discuss something specific but we more or so talked about the latest happenings in the gambling area. Maybe it's because I have stopped trading the UK Horse racing markets in Betfair and I have also abandoned all my betting activities, since poker consumes the vast majority of my time. That may come as a surprise for most of my blog's visitors, who keep on emailing me asking for betting or trading advice. Certainly I haven't forgotten the gains or pitfalls of sports betting or trading and I believe I can be of some help to anyone who tries them. However, playing poker for so many hours and having read a lot of forum topics while watching innumerous coaching videos mean that I have fresher knowledge and information about poker than trading.

Ashamed of Gambling? E-mail
Wednesday, 31 October 2007

Ashamed of Gambling? You shouldn't be!Do you make a living out of gambling and are ashamed of it? Do you lie to people about where your money come from? Do you avoid conversations because of it and try to talk as little as possible about your profession?

 

If you answer affirmatively these questions then you would find a thread in Betfair's forum quite interesting. Here are some posts and worth mentioning points made by posters.
