We're in the process of reordering sections in order to bring a wider discussion to the table.

Which casino games and gambling propositions would you like featured?

Remember we are "Bet Selection", which means basically all gambling forms where people gets to choose where to bet are good to be covered

Feel free to suggest sections you want!

Horse racing

Greyhound racing

Sports betting (to encompass tennis, cricket, darts, motor sports, all other ball games -- basically all that's covered on Betfair)

How about a section on the history of casinos around the world.

I have always wanted to find out when the £5 outside minimum bet was first introduced in B+M casinos in the uk.

You can not leave blackjack and dice games unmentioned.

Golf would an idea,using the Racing Post can give out BIG TIPS !!!

Another good idea may be stock market investment. It can also be Forex.

Please do not incur in HYIP.

Hmm, stock market "advice" on a gambling forum.  Probably not the best choice to follow.  Toss in some Forex "trading" and you're really headed off into left field somewhere.

Here's a quick note for future reference, and I'm talking decades down the line. . . . . .

If you want to "play the market", do it with somebody who really knows his business.  You don't want your local banker who attended some three day "school" to learn how to buy and sell mutual funds or basic options trading.   Interview true professionals just like you would interview for any other position that's going to affect your life down the road.  If you don't feel good about this person, interview some more until you DO find one that you will feel comfortable about having all your money at risk in a volitile market.  Having a TD/Ameritrade account with a bunch of FaceBook stock in it is NOT investing!

Fact. . . .   EVERYBODY is an expert in "the market" when the market is good.   When it all falls apart is where the guy you have working your money/investments earns his keep.  That's what they get paid for.   It's your money.  Make sure it stays your money and is not churned away via Forex and other money pits.

So, HYIP?   There's about ten thousand "expert" HYIP web sites out there.  One of the members in this forum runs a small, but informative one, and I do believe you'll find that it requires and inordinate amount of work (and trust) to make this work for the short run.   Better one should stick to roulette!

So, that's my own, personal, take on it.  There is money to be made in the stock market, but most people go about it all wrong and think of it as some kind of short term casino sanctioned by the government.    Not right.  It's bigger than most people will ever understand and for a variety of reasons, not made for any normal human to understand, especially if they do other things besides monitor numbers and markets all day long.

For this forum, I'd stick to basic gambling for now.  The traditional and non-traditional games, most sports wagering, games of skill to play for money (backgammon, dominoes, etc) and things like that.  I'm sure the ideas that get posted will eventually work their way into the daily routine and that can only be a good deal for the forum membership as a whole.

AD

In view of the bot creation opportunities maybe a section (or sub-section) dedicated to Betfair? Sadly, it's not available to U.S. citizens although that may change in the future.

There's got to be something here for everyone!

Floorball & Bandy? 

Plus they have a live casino, never tried it though.

Anyone know what Bandy is ?

Sounds like a game Del Boy would play.....

Bandy = "Hockey with a Ball"

As long as it doesn't turn into a "sprawl-fest" where there are 50 boards and 2 posts in each board. If we can appease all but keep the family feeling of a close knit forum without dozens and dozens of rarely used boards and you end up having to scroll down ages to find a board you want.

The stock market is just that...gambling. There is no other way to describe it.

Regarding Playing "the markets",there is a system which i purchased a while back.

You start with the SP500 market and aim to make upto 20 pips per trade.

If you can understand the Candel-stick shapes in conjuntion with the MACD graph....watching for a Convergance/Divergance signal then have a trade,i believe a steady profit can be achieved.

A good mate i know has dabbled with success.
