I've argued for ages that Betfair should offer some level of proofing ability, it would really open up eyes to people who actually do it versus those that are all talk. As it is, people just mimic what real traders do and pass themselves off as real traders.
I totally agree Peter, it's stunning that anyone can call themselves an expert and basically con people. It always surprised me Betfair didn't get involved in this.
It's not the only industry though, my industry is the same, there are people purporting to be experts and educators, they're charging all sorts of fees, basically it's the same problem, you cannot show earnings , or it's frowned upon.
Unlike my favourites poker and golf
It's hard to keep your earnings hidden live or online , OPR show details of ROI , some people exclude , but there are still ways to check, I had a guy offer me an online poker lesson , he was a loser , basically a fish trying to make money.
Golf the scores are there to see you can't cheat
Had lessons from the top coaches and some duffers who can't break 80. I know some great teachers are crap, but a simple check does the job
Funny most of the above frequent forums too. Not here of course!
Imagine having to show your profit and loss before you could teach trading
Sorry for the rant
