Adam Heathcote

Did Adam trade any other sports other then horse racing?
do we know what bank he was using when hitting 2k per day?

I've read all of Adam's blog from start to finish before as well, it is indeed a great insight to the wealth of possibilities. Good on him, and in the future with his fitness / travel business.

I don't condone the shit Adam received, especially people questioning his integrity. However, unless you're trying to flog a BF related product like Peter, why would anyone want to post their results online anyway?

[Euler]

I think it's interesting that the current crop of 'experts' can't actually do that or shy away from it significantly. I can see who is real or not simply through what they say but it seems people can't see that and take what they are given at face value. Won't help the market longer term.

I think PC has produced an insular mentality amongst traders Peter - people try to hold their cards closer to their chest now. Especially, with many looking for ways to play the system so they can keep PC down! We know how BF have devious ploys of trying to link accounts, so why would anyone tell the world what they are making, it just invites intrusion from BF's gestapo

I post less because of that, especially when Betfair pulled me up on something, but quite a few people out there are holding up their opposition to PC as a marketing message despite the fact I know they don't pay it. That's fraud in my book.

But I don't know what you can do about it. Nobody seems particularly sympathetic if you get ripped off in sports markets.

BTW, It's Adam's Birthday today by coincidence.

Why not out them if you know for a fact they don't pay, Euler, surely by allowing people to be scammed you're just as complicit?

I still find it strange all these so called experts still don't pay PC2 despite touting their wares as pro's for the 15 years or so Betfair has been around. That's only £18K or so a year and once you find your feet racking a few K each week isn't as hard as it seems. The old 'I used to arb so had a losing BF account' is usually a fav excuse. Anyone who's tried to arb against bookies to negate PC2 will have their own view on the amounts needed to churn yourself out of that

Usually the response comes back, he is just trying to sell you something. So it's a stronger message if an actual customer of service uncovers the horrible truth and exposes it. Much more likley to send a message to others.

The problem is trading isn't like some tipster service where results are easily verified. I'm sure any scammer worth his salt can persuade a newby it's his fault for missing the signals and string him out for a few more courses.

Happy Birthday Adam, whereever you are! I rather suspect he's reading this and chuckling to himself but who can blame him and many others for going to ground.

PC is the corn laws all over, someone clever at betfair and a knowledge of economics & free enterprise will one day run the numbers and prove interally they are much better off if they reduce PC below 40% perhaps sweet spot is probably in range of 25-30% but presently we all have to suffer hyper taxation - greed and envy policy.

Here is his company's website - I suspect he wasn't spending his birthday reading this thread, more likely in Bali according to his bio.

[ijamieson]

Adams blog is a great inspiring read and I often wonder about his style and risk management? Seemed to always get big wins over £100 with the odd big loss.

You can actually calculate his turnover and return from a post he put up. Very small return on turnover. But he put through A LOT of money.

It surprises me he never seemed to trade weekends or evenings so could of made a whole lot more.

His blog has now gone for whatever reason but I did find his Entry & Exit point posts on the WayBack Machine .
