how many of you on olbg rarely place bets in real life?

As I've said a few times before (and as some have already mentioned about themselves on this thread) - anything I put up on the forum I will be backing myself.

Not so much in the tipster comp as boredom (amongst other things) often takes over in that sense. For example, I haven't had a bet with the real stuff since Cheltenham finished. I haven't posted any tips on the forum but have made a few tips on the olbg a/c as I'll be in Spain for the last week of this month so I want to try hit a profit on here before then - wipeout today means that won't be happening but doesn't really bother me as it's much easier to handle losing virtual money rather than the real stuff.

In answer to the original question - I think it's pretty easy to spot the difference between the guys who are serious and are backing their own tips and the guys who are just posting up to try get some praise/recognition etc. - a quick look over a few tips and chat threads should make it clear.

Anyway, good luck to all over the next few weeks - will be back posting/betting with the real stuff at the start of next month. Win

In answer to your question I should think it would be very low, with so much info on all sport its hard not to dabble. good luck, have fun and only bet with what you can afford. Smile

I only bet what i can afford, but do back above my means on my Naps, so it swings both ways, this month has been kind, but will stick to now what i can afford now i am in front.

Never chase and never double your stakes to cover the last loss.

If I tip a horse in the daily tips thread, I'll have something on it, but I've had plenty of bets on here that I've not been too sure about and have been testing methods. Would never write them on the forum tho without confidence..

I have also tipped up horses on the forum, backed them with real money and forgotten to select them on this.. Embarassed

If I post a tip on the forum, or in my blog, then Im also backing it with real money.

Other tips I place usually not so much, but occasionally I back them with the real stuff too.
