I read this article and was convinced the guy was full of crap, glad Betfair have come out and discredited it.

I thought the article was a bit fishy.
I was quite surprised to read in the betfair statement that no one made anything near £1.5million on the champion hurdle. I just assumed that the bookies used betfair to lay off large liabilities, which I'm sure a few of them would of had something near on that on Binocular.
| Quote: | We have been contacted by several customers in relation to an article in Sunday’s News of the World. We would like to make it clear that Betfair was not asked to comment on, or validate any aspect of, the article ahead of publication.
Although we cannot comment on the activities of any specific customer, some facts which may be relevant to some of the claims made in the article include:
the biggest winner in the relevant Britain’s Got Talent market (Susan Boyle winner - Yes/No) won less than £3,000.
No Betfair customer won £1.5 million or anything even vaguely approaching that amount betting on the Champion Hurdle.
No Betfair customer won £500,000 or anything even vaguely approaching that amount laying Monsieur Chevalier at Royal Ascot
The figures shown in the account statement screenshot in the News Of the World do not reconcile to any Betfair account.
The monies present in a Betfair account are obviously no indicator of the sums won or lost on the account.
We would encourage customers to be wary of the claims of anyone purporting to have a profitable system or strategy.
We would encourage customers to retain a healthy degree of scepticism toward any claims made in the press which are not validated by Betfair. |

This is the thing the very nature of betfair means that for every punter making money there's someone losing somewhere. But you go on the betfair forum and everyone seems to win
