But obviously, some folks have no better idea what to do with their spare time.strugarhttp://www.strugar.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-26989584147702248062010-05-17T12:47:07.762+01:002010-05-17T12:47:07.762+01:00My comment was not a judgement on Cassini himself,...My comment was not a judgement on Cassini himself, or what he chooses to monitor... though I'd personally ditch anyone immediately who tries to sell me a casino system, clearly that person cannot be taken seriously - and I think Cas think's the same. I'm sure there might just be some tipsters out there that offer something good, but time spent trying to find them is more than likely better spent working on your own strategy... of which it seems Cas has done, so fair play.<br /><br />I like this blog, it's one of very few I read, it's entertaining, the writer has an ego that seems securely confident in a way that I find unlikely to have originated in anything other than success, whether that be in betting or other investments. Much of what is writen I agree with, and would write myself if I could be bothered / had the time / had the need. I don't read anything that gives out figures, or play by play accounts of the last market they played in P/L terms... the only P/L I'm interested in is my own. Though I'll admit to dipping in to Heathcote's for some mild entertainment on rare occasions.<br /><br />My thoughts are, give up the tipsters and stick with your own stuff.. also, I do think this is one of the few blogs that does have some informational quality for those that need it. Definitely time to drop the repetitive "no figures here" posts though, just my opinion.<br /><br />How about some commission figures ? hehe just kidding..Matthttp://www.punt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-50216443643185827912010-05-17T12:40:08.872+01:002010-05-17T12:40:08.872+01:00Hi,
Good to see that your blogs are as thought p...Hi,<br /> Good to see that your blogs are as thought provoking as always and of course attracting plenty of compliments (am sure Ayn Rand would be impressed).<br /> Until you mentioned it, I did not realise there were networth sites. Having said that, I recall that in France around the late 70's early 80's, the country was trying to raise more taxes (sounds familiar).Apparently someone in the French Finance Department suggested imposing a one off wealth tax, on people who had a net worth of over a certain figure.The government of the time implemented/ introduced the tax. This obviously created a big outcry, however the tax raised more than anticipated, because people inflated their net worth so as to pay the tax then of course complain to all and sundry how much tax they had to pay so as to impress family and friends etc.<br /> Net worth site, would be interesting especially those bright young things in HM Revenue and Customs.<br /><br />Rgds<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-5143184106197016692010-05-17T11:33:27.259+01:002010-05-17T11:33:27.259+01:00Well said Matt, cassini isn't going to post up...Well said Matt, cassini isn't going to post up any figures.

Surely everyone knows by now, you aren't going to post any figures, they're just trying to goad your ego into breaking your rules :) <br /><br />Saying that, I do love to see figures... hehe I appreciate the competitive nature of it, problem is, as you say, there are people relevant to compete against, and then there are others who it's pointless even thinking about (the bloke who takes out 52p a race, or the horse racing punter with 13m commission points...).<br /><br />Networth is interesting.

"so why the hell do you waste your precious time arguing here?!"<br /><br />With full time trading you have plenty of spare time to fill, "all work and no play", "devil finds work for idle hands " etc I don't think any of the anon posters are actually seething at anything said on this blog :)<br /><br />But if it upsets you that much avoid reading the comments and stick with the fairy story blogs like edgehunters and peter norstead who are selling their own brand of crap on a subscription basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-22519387679890049702010-05-17T09:06:30.255+01:002010-05-17T09:06:30.255+01:00"it is also meaningless to compare betting or..."it is also meaningless to compare betting or investment P&Ls without some context."<br /><br />Probably have a little more merit than comparing yourself to to a net worth site where people are making money in a completely unrelated field and stick in any figure they wish without any form of 'evidence'.<br /><br />"Posting a Betfair P&L showing a £10 profit means absolutely nothing to me. Some examples why.<br /><br />Was this the plus side of an arb, and the 'winner' shows a loss on BETDAQ or WBX or a bookies of £9.50?<br /><br />Did the poster spend 18 hours trading to make that £10 or was his profit the result of five minutes work and a single punt?"<br /><br />To be fair to the bloggers that do post up pnl shots, they generally have stated within the blog if they're arbers, traders, gamblers etc and do give some idea of time spent/punting.<br /><br />"What does that £10 mean to the bettor? Is he a multi-millionaire? Unemployed with a zero net worth? Retired? A student with a job at MacDonalds earning £10 an hour? A computer professional earning £100 an hour?"<br /><br />Again most bloggers give some idea if they're doing this full time and you'll never really know but have a better idea than a net worth site.<br /><br />"I'd be very interested to compare myself to other traders/gamblers, but only if the comparison is relative. There is simply no point in comparing my results to a full-time trader. There is no point comparing my results to those of someone who operates bots. It would be a waste of time comparing my results to those of an unemployed 18 year old with no savings.<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm also not expecting to LEARN anything from joining a NetWorth site. When did I say that? I'm not thinking of joining to learn; I'm thinking of joining because the idea of a league table (even one where results are not audited) appeals to my competitive nature."<br /><br />So in effect you want to compare yourself to other traders/gamblers but only when it's relative. But as no ones doing exactly the the same type of betting as you you'll join a league table of anonymous posters posting up any old unaudited crap working in totally unrelated fields ?<br /><br />Makes sense to me, considering the amount of bullshit you post on here I reckon you'll do very well on those leagues :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-47500176639446495562010-05-17T06:36:07.922+01:002010-05-17T06:36:07.922+01:00Well, I kinda hate arguing, but it came to the poi...Well, I kinda hate arguing, but it came to the point I feel must get involved; for a more than year I have been following this blog, I have liked it a lot (in fact, along with Pete Nordsted and Edge Hunters, it is my favourite blog!) exactly because it does not pretend to show how successfull is he at trading, but only present us some interesting articles, opinions, researches, often not related to trading itself, but containing an amusing ideas, which make excellent reading in times when ladder nis not on monitor!<br />But what I utterly don't understand is why someone wastes his attacks something that he can easily overcome, simply by not typing that address in his browser?! If you prefer blogs which consist only of every bloody day repeating template "Today has been a fantastic day, so bank grew up to whooping ??.000 units, ??% above the expected", just move on, there is Adam Heathcote and million others like him, so why the hell do you waste your precious time arguing here?!strugarhttp://www.strugar.infonoreply@blogger.com
