trying times ...................

nope this is hammer house of horrors .............. im writing this on wednesday afternoon after a disasterous couple of days , im not long in the face or down more numb really , im philosophical about my "occupation" and what i do , if it doesnt eventually work out i,ll do something else i could always upsticks and move to say poland as lets face it the country must be empty with the majority of them over here ! i take a look on the betfair forum from time to time usually for comments on tipping services , i lost my posting rights some time back so i will use my blog to answer cdh - this time last year well 1st august actually i was £16,316 in profit that works out at £2,330 profit per month now i dont lead a extravagant lifestyle my girlfriend works so thats more than sufficient and also which is most important i enjoy what i do , i made in 2006 £32,000 and thats taking into account the expense of the services themselves , if i got a job in the "real world" of say £50,000 which is pretty decent i would not after tax earnt as much as i did in 2006 , so thats why i subscribe to these services . Now unfortunately im experiencing the other side of the coin , please remember i have been doing this since june 2002 as my sole stream of income , and this without doubt has been the worst and most trying of times , its just sods law that i didnt have a blog in the 2002-2006 years , this year has taught me the importance of a betting bank seperate from my daily finances and over the past 5 years it has built up to a decent figure it has come under pressure recently as i take a monthly wage from it ,so my bank is a fair bit lower than say the start of 2007 .
after the disasters of the last couple of days im in PROFIT of £5900 for 2007 , but then when i take into account my expenses which i will do come dec 31st the fig would be approx £3000 so far this year .
i have had a few emails of support today and yesterday and these are very much appreciated , i realise im not alone as we charter through these choppy waters at present ! i actually feel in good spirits i was far worse early 2007 when i started off jan with a near £8000 loss so i know from past experience that the p/l can turn around pretty quickly , a lot of it is down to confidence or should i say the confidence i have in isiris and mark holder to turn the tide back in my favour , this confidence is gained from years of experience of the service they provide , i can imagine if you joined mh on june the 1st your experience and thoughts on his service would not be positive as i have seen my p/l fall from £9,300 to £3200 but i strongly believe that my confidence in mark or kevin is not misplaced and followers will recoup these losses in time , if you persevere , but for new members i realise thats a big call and you may already be saying enough is enough , and i could not blame you for that if honest .
i shall give the p/l figs for tuesday/wednesday now , i realise there is a isiris call back later but im sure it wont be a third account bet .

dear dirk i last replyed to your blog at the end of june when i explained that i had just soffered the worst month in over 30 years of pro gambling i also said i was involved in two tipping lines the first one i run myself which is a very basic line which has to go out before 11am at sp which i started doing almost two years ago and even after june loss of just under 60 points i still have a profit of well over 550 points this you can check out for yourself on tip exchange from this last september with a old friend we started up a new tipping service which we called VSR and started proving to the rp we did start of very well and with the help of our site which updates every day win or lose including the names of the horses and the rec price we also give the adverge stake per selectoin whih at the moment stands at approx 2.5 pts per bet we have shown a profit of over 370 pts in just 11 months of proving this has been done with fair amount of luck but you would expect that to even out over the year and also pleanty of hard work and using a staking plan of £100 a point you would of reached your goal with comfort i also must ad that the profit has not relied upon the odd big price winner where if you miss the recommened price it can make the diff between profit and loss i urge you to check both sites which appear under rvaughan on tipexchange and the main one under info@vsrcm.com as you have the experence of trying different lines over the years your opinion will be valued and if your interested in afree trail after having a look i am sure we would not let you down all the best r vaughan

hi ron , thanks for your message and offer of a free trial of your services which i will decline , for a couple of reasons , neither of which are connected to you or your company , but in the past i have relied on isiris and mh to produce my profits this expanded to optimum when andrew left mh , i have confidence in these services and adding a 4th or 5th service could add another 4 or 5 selections in a day which i just do not want to do or which i agree with , i prefer the selectivity of the occassional isiris main account bets and mh bets as this suits my betting philosophy and has proved profitable over the past 4 completed years in my "occupation" , i recently had a trial of a laying service but discontinued it because the message clashed with that of mh and due to the fact that i put on via the shops and didnt want to be continually on the phone to betfair , i have also discontinued the isiris insiders due to me now using the shops as my avenue of betting as i was struggling to get on via the net , basically relying on one company stan james to get the majority of my bet on , if they cut me down appreciably im stuffed so i cant afford to rely on them , the way i have decided to go is to DECREASE the number of bets im having each day , and i realise as yet it has not paid any dividends im happy with my decision and trialling your services would go against this recent decision , i wish you continued success with your services , and btw i do like your vsr website , be lucky regards , DD.
