Betfair is not for everyone, Frankly, it's a shark-infested cesspit. Every hustler, insider, grifter and chancer pitting their cunning against pros who long ago were banned by bookies for being too good. All innocent sheep wandering in to have a dabble are soon sheared and savaged.
However, the forums are fantastic. For a start they are zinging - the football and racing forums have about 20 new threads a minute, admittedly mostly rubbish but at least it's alive. Also, if you can focus through the "noise", some of the most intelligent clued-up betters provide golden nuggets of information for free. (Yesterday a small posting enable me to back a horse at 50/1 that is now 16/1).
Each forum has a distinctive character. The racing forum is like a wild west saloon, the football one like a changing-room, the tennis one like trading floor, and the politics one will be the place to go for General Election madness.
My favourite though is the "specials" forum, which is more like a lounge bar, with an offbeat conversation about reality TV shows. This month I followed the threads on Celebrity Big Brother and managed to double my money without the chore of watching even one second of the show. Now that's a free tipping service I can get excited about.
