  • I have created my own successful betting system on football (soccer) and?

    I have an incredible strike-rate with it, over 70%, and from my few months doing it I have made good money. I have tried for years to find systems, whether it be for horses, football, snooker, you name it, but this one I know is the one.

    However, what sort of betting strategy should I adopt. I have been using the labouchere betting system (read about it here if don't know - http://www.wherewhywhen.com/how-does-the-laboucher...

    I really like this because the person was successful on roulette using it, and with red or black, yet the football bet I have created is giving me much better than an even chance. I can actually win twice for the same risk, which is why I am loving this system I created so much.

    The reason I ask is maybe someone knows of a even better betting strategy than this one, considering to put it frankly, if my system was roulette and I was spinning for red, I would be able to throw 2 balls and only lose the same amount if both hit black, win once if red, and both with red, all for the same amount.

  • Do bookmakers care if I make bets for amounts like £2.70, £1.10, £13.50 etc?

    As long as I don't do odd bets like £2.73, £1.19, £13.56... Are the ones above ok to do and will not ring alarm bells. As I heard bets like £2.73 ring alarm bells as may seem like your arbing or something.

  • Is there any way I can stop seeing penis sized questions on this site?

    Each day I am shown at least 250 questions about people asking if the size of their penis is normal. It really is beginning to make me not even want to come on and check out the questions.

    I don't know if this is because I have a setting on my account related to men's health, or anything like this which I could edit, or if its simply just because that is all that is getting asked a lot, but I really would like to stop seeing it.

  • This is my current situation, would I be ok living in Thailand for little while?

    My current situation is that I am self-employed working online for the last 3+ years. I have no commitments in my own country, and I am just 34 years of age.

    As long as I had internet connection in place I was living (would not have to be the best), then I think moving to Thailand for some adventure would be great.

    I would still have to be very careful of how I live. I earn on average £40 a day, which in a 30 day month would work out at about 58,000 Baht.

    From this of course I would need to have a room, internet, be comfortable with air-condition etc, and then daily food (I am quite flexible with different foods and love rice and noodles).

    That would be my main costs I think, I don't require to go out partying and drinking each night, but definitely going out at least once a week for a good time would be on my wish-list. This does not involve sleeping with bar-girls as not my thing, I prefer to meet women naturally if it happens.

    I think I am quite smart with my money also, so I would not needlessly spend it on things I never really needed.

    Do you think all that I have said would classify me as someone who would be quite comfortable on this journey? Also where would the best location for a holiday like this be in Thailand.

    (I would of course pay for flights etc and return flight all outwith this budget prior to leaving).

    Any advice much appreciated such as where to go, where and can I find a small apartment which is clean, internet, air-con etc within my budget. Are you best to book before you go, are you best to look around when there so as not to commit to any place before you get their. All little things like this I am trying to learn, as the situation is it can happen any week now, my passport is ready, and nothing is to stop me.

  • What is the country of Cambodia like?

    What are the best places to stay at. Does anyone know a nice apartment where it would have air-conditioning, internet etc.

    I am planning to stay for a little while, and then from here travel to Thailand, and then home to UK.

    Would this be a good journey to take, or would I be better off doing other places while here, such as Vietnam etc, any info really helpful.

  • What happens if you overstay your visa in Thailand?

    Like for example say you set out to quiet region, get setup in little apartment, live low key, avoid the police etc, is there anyone who would be looking for you, or could you probably get away with that for the rest of your life?

    No need to question what will do for work etc, because would not be working and would have income.

    Also what would be consequences if caught for any reason, and say you have been there for 2 years without permission, are you simply sent home and told not to return, or would you be imprisoned etc

    Thanks for any insight on this.

  • If 95% of Thais are Buddhist, why are so many corrupt?

    The 3 main principles of Buddhism is not to kill, steal or lie. Yet a large majority of the police are corrupt, as with loads of the locals such as the jet ski scam, and a thousand other things that go on.

    Do they not take their religion seriously.

  • Could a club buy a player to sell to another club instantly?

    For example say Arsenal want Suarez, but Liverpool do not want to sell to another English club, but Wenger has a deal lined up with Real Madrid. Basically Madrid buy Suarez for 40 million or whatever, and then they instantly sell him to Arsenal for 45 million.

    I know this wont happen, I am just asking could this legally happen, and Suarez would never play for Madrid, he would then go to Arsenal in new transfer that very same, week or whatever.

  • Been walking for 2 weeks now and gained 1 lb, is this normal?

    I do feel a lot better for doing all the walking, but was hoping for some weight loss perhaps. I must say though I am starting to feel a lot firmer than I normally did, so is this me gaining weight through muscle and burning fat.

    Also if this is the case, when does it get to the point where I start to lose more weight.

    I walk about 5 miles each day at a nice pace, and have also been eating healthy, including fruits and vegetables.

  • What would happen to body if you just kept walking each day?

    Like I mean say you have a huge wooded area and are trying to lose weight. But normally you walk round it once, and it certainly does something to you. But what happens if you say, no I am serious and I am going to walk around this 4 times today before I head home.

    Would this seriously increase weight loss, build muscle etc. is it this attitude you need to really shift some weight.

  • Tricky situation with mother who ran me up bad credit?

    My mother has never been good with money, throughout all her life she had ran up debts of her own. My credit was always fairly good, I never like to get anything and not pay.

    It has come to my attention that my own mum has crippled me with debt and bad credit now. She has signed up for numerous companies online, catalogues etc, all without my consent or knowledge.

    I now owe thousands and in the eyes of the companies it is all me.

    I don't feel like I can get my life on track now, and I don't think I can leave the family home as my credit is so bad I would never get anywhere in life.

    She says she will pay these back, but it never happens, at this present moment I am thinking she is the most evil mother in the world, what sort of mum would do this to their own kid.

    Short off reporting her for all this fraud, it doesnt seem like I can do anything :(, so am basically screwed :(

  • Is Pattaya a dangerous place for Farangs?

    I have been reading news stories online after quite a lot of research (real stories), and apparently a lot of western men get killed, but the Thai police just mark it off as "suicide". A lot of these cases (mostly all) make absolute no sense as to why this person would kill them self, and a lot of them have either been thrown of a building or look really badly beat in the photos.

    I heard that thai women will do mostly anything for money, and a lot of these involves corruption with police, so when they say suicide case is closed and nothing is mentioned of it again, and by doing this it also keeps the whole 'thailand is safe' thing under control, so more and more people keep going.

    I really wanted to visit, but in most of these cases I suspect murder and money has been the cause, pure greed at the end of the day.

  • 1,900 Baht To Live in Thailand Daily?

    I did a currency conversion of what my amount to live in Thailand each day would be. It works out at 1,900 Baht.

    However, in this amount I need to stay somewhere, and the only other expenses would be eating, drinking, and having a good time.

    Is this realistic, or is 1,900 Baht a day way too low. Never been so am seeking all the information I can get beforehand. Thanks.

  • What is the best way to have money in Thailand?

    Would it be to have most of it in my UK bank and use ATM machines, or carry it around with me. I am little unsure of this, as I plan to visit but am scared if something were to happen like my ATM card got lost or stuck in a machine.

    Any advice on what is the best way, as I imagine it would be too stupid to carry around a lot of money with you, but on the other hand what if I had any banking issues, I would not want to leave myself screwed.

    Also how reliable are accommodation security boxes and things like this, are they a good idea.

    I am 34 year old male, active etc, up for a little fun. Would be travelling on my own, money no issue. Just want to see somewhere new, and I like the sound of Thailand, have been trying to learn the language also.

    Or is one month in Bankgkok too much, what would you suggest I do from the time of arrival at the airport. Any insight greatly appreciated. Also what would be the best time for travelling, does it ever get cooler? I would prefer it cooler, but seeing as I work for myself, I am flexible with the dates.

  • Do you instantly press the back button when you enter inside a question and no paragraphs?

    Just 5000 words all plastered in front of you. Why do people write like this, as much as the initial question may interest me, when I then click inside and see just a massive wall of words I instantly press my back button.
