Education Events / Betfair Education / 24 September 2008 / 2 Comments

Curious as to how useful these events can be? Take a look at some of the comments from people who have attended recently....

====================
Many thanks for the training event at Morley Rugby Club the other week. I found it very useful as did my Leeds Met student. My wife also enjoyed it (always a good sign!)

I have a friend who would be interested in coming along to one of these sessions, & I'd quite like to come along again myself. Have you any other sessions coming up? Especially in this neck of the woods.

------

Thanks for a splendid day on Wednesday. You covered a lot. All of you were very helpful and I picked up quite a few tips. Best wishes,

------

Many thanks for putting on a very informative session at Chester racecourse.
A heck of a lot of info to take in, but if 30% has stuck it was well worth the time.
Hopefully the booklet will help me remember all the tips given.

I would recommend it for all betfair users, new and old. Relaxed atmosphere and it was paced well.
-------

Thank you for a very informative & enjoyable afternoon yesterday, I would recommend any one who uses Betfair should take the opportunity to attend one of these sessions.
I look forward to seeing you all at future events.

-------

I'd just like to say thanks for the invite to a forum you hosted at Lancashire Cricket Club last Tuesday 24th Feb. I attended and took one of my work colleague's along, who had no prior knowledge of Betfair, nor of betting in general. I'm sort of regretting taking him now, as you'll find out later in this email.

The evening was for me, very informative. There was so much to take in that I cannot remember the names of the two Betfair representatives, but one was a Londoner and the other from Wakefield. Both of these boys knew their stuff and it's a big thumbs up to them for keeping their tuition methods in explaining the basics, or the complicated, simple and easy to understand.

I found the information on how one might trade of particular interest and it has opened my eyes to the different ways I could use Betfair as a tool to improve my bank balance. God knows, it needs it.

My colleague Mark has since opened an account with yourselves and has become totally obsessed with the principle of exchanges. He's taken to phoning me at home almost every night for hours on end to ask questions. I feel like Dr Frankenstein and that I have created a monster, or rather you have, all I did was bring him to the operating table and let you plug him into the mains!

I'd just like to say thanks again and I really am glad I attended. Keep up the good work.

I would like to say thanks for the Betfair Education event i attended in Sheffield last week. The event was excellent. The presentation and all its content were exceptional. I thouroughly enjoyed it all and hopefully have success in the future on betfair. Once again thanks,

-------

Just thought I would drop you a quick email to thank you for the invite to the education evening at Lancashire Cricket Club on the 24th February. The chaps Martin & Nathan (?) could not have been more helpful and certainly made it a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We covered quite a few areas which I didn't even know existed and I know feel more confident in trying different things on the site. Once again thank you for a very good evening.

-------

Many thanks for your efforts at yesterdays training day.
I picked up several helpfull stratergies, and thought the time was very well spent.

-------

I just wanted to drop you a quick line in order to thank you for your hosptality and an extremley informative and productive evening meeting last Thursday.

Events such as these do nothing but credit to organisations that take the time to relate to their customers in this way and Betfair can be very proud of the thought and structure that has been applied to these meetings by both you and your collegue.

I myself will make considerably more use of Betfair over the coming months, due to the enormous amount of posibilities I now realise exist to be exploited!

-------

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's education.

I found it interesting, informative and well presented. The presenters (I am afraid I have forgotten their names) took the trouble to find punters interests and covered all the points. They were patient to answer questions or to cover specific points in more detail.

------

Just a quick thank you to you guys for a very informative evening.Not going to admitt that I understood all of it however did pick up some really useful bits.

------

just to say a big thanks to the lads from betfair at the event at notts cc ground today, learned alot today and it makes a nice change to attend an event for free including refreshments and literature without a hard sell, i'd recommend anybody to attend future events

------

Just to let you know that I attended the seminar and found it to be invaluable. It opened my eyes as to the very powerful betting options that are available to me via the BetFair site.

The presenters and the venue were first class, coupled with excellent hospitality...if there should be another seminar in my area again I would be more than delighted to attend.

------

Just a quick note to thank you and Martin for the event yesterday at Charlton FC. I was hoping to learn at least one new thing that I could use in my own trading. I have come away with quite a few new strategies and feel more confident about trading. I did not know until yesterday what the payout button did for example! Just last night I made a profitable trade on the unders / overs goal market, a market that I did not consider previously. I also really liked the advice given on backing and laying the draw. I hope that I can develop the strategies in my own trading and look forward to attending any further Betfair Education events,

I just wanted to drop a short line to thank you again for the invitation to last night's meeting.

It was thoroughly enjoyable, with Nathan and Martin being a credit to Betfair with their knowledge and patience for all levels of those who came.

I have taken away a number of ideas, which were well presented. Unfortunately Manchester United didn't co-operate as fully as I would have liked, but it was an enjoyable evening.

I look forward to attending a future event at some point in the future.

Hi Michael
I would like to say, how much we enjoyed the afternoon at Cambridge. It was a revelation and the lads,
Were terrific, informative and patient, and so enthusiastic, Would do it again at the drop of an hat.
Many Many Thanks
T&D

-------

Thanks for presenting a fairly technical topic in such a down-to-earth and relaxed manner, very informative.

-------

Hi I would like to say a big thank you to you and all the team at the Plymouth afternoon education event for a informative and educational day, it was absolutely fantastic and would recommend anyone interested in trading on betfair to attend one.

Having attended tonights Betfair Education event I must say what an enjoyable and enlightening evening I had.Having been a Betfair member since 2002 I thought that I knew a lot . What a surprise "I know nothing ".
but the presentation certainly opened my eyes and I would recommend the event to anyone that wants to get involved with exchange betting.

--------

Just wanted to thank you guys for a great evening last night.

It was very informative and really helpful to find out about all the extra little things on Betfair that most of us don't use. I'll be putting it all to the test later so hope I've remembered the important bits!

--------

a big thank you to all of the team at the Ricoh , great i would have been happy to pay for information given , my only wish that we could have had a full day . i hope others understand what they have had for free .

--------

Thanks for the seminar in Sheffield on Wednesday.
Had a great evening and I was surprised how much I learned. I couldnt believe how many things I was missing out on, from the 'payout' button to realising that I could place multiple bets on Betfair. (Always placed my multi football bets on William Hills till now)
Had my first proper go at trading on the Overs/Unders market in the Everton match last night and cleared 5%. Not a bad start for a novice.

-------

Just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for last night's education session at Old Trafford. It was the most interested I've ever been at a cricket ground.

I definitely intend to look into some of the methods that were discussed last night - I've always been a useless gambler, maybe I'll make a better trader.

--------

The info from the class, although I've been using betfair for years and understand how it works, is STILL dawning on me! I managed a green book last night with a small profit during the AC Milan game...........but that was nothing. The whole idea of being able to bet at silly high prices has always been attractive to me....but WHY on earth didn't I realise that I can just lay the bet off at NO EXTRA COST if....that's IF the price goes down.....

--------

Just a quick mail to say thank you for the Betfair Education event - I took a lot out the event and would more than welcome another invite for any future events as I feel there is still a lot more to learn! and then some more!!

--------

Just wanted to say thank you to you and the team for a very interesting and educational evening in manchester, (would have liked a full day!) However I did learn one particular little gem that will hopefully help me to make profits on betfair.

--------

The number one thing I learned from the workshop this week is how little I actually know Betfair. I am profoundly grateful to you, your team & Betfair as whole, to help me build an arsenal of tools & showing me some new concepts, to secure a better chance of profit.

--------

Thanks so much for the Betfair education at Hammersmith the other week it has totally changed the way I bet. Before i was gambling and winning by chance, a few good wins here and there on some multiples but mostly losses. Now i am a trading convert. While skeptical in the meeting I am regularly getting "green books" and while still testing it out with small odds I am understanding more and more about the points you were making in the meeting. The Dummies guide is fantastic and has given me some great tips, I have explored the Betfair labs much more and looking into BetAngel as a serious trading tool. I still like the odd punt on something that is closer to the heart like a team or sportsperson but realise that the way to seriously make money consistently is with trading and the tips from Betfair Education.

--------

Just wanted to say a big thankyou for the evening at Chester racecourse. It
was very informative and you showed me a few features I'd never seen before.

--------

Just a short note to say thanks for the Betfair Education evening at Sixfields in Northampton last night.

My brother and I agreed on the way home that we'd both got some fresh angles on the site - which was the reason we took up your invitation.

Sometimes I wonder about the moaners on the forum, 'cos they sure can't seem to remember what betting was like pre-Betfair. A bad old world.

-------

Just wanted to say a big thanks to you and your colleagues for an excellent presentation this afternoon. It opened my eyes to a lot of opportunities on Betfair which I am going to look at. Some of the stuff needed a lot more time, my brain doesn't work as quick as you guys but I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

--------

Hi, I just thought I would say a few words of appreciation for the class last night:

You really are showing your company in a great light! Your generosity was superb (free food, drink, free money to bet with, decent facilities, (laptop to use). I am partially sighted and yes of-course I had some difficulty seeing the big screen but it was OK. The guys spotted my disability immediately and put me in a seat near the front. Your team was highly informative, helpful and polite, and I most certainly did gain a little from the class. (I have been using Betfair for at least 4 years now so I already knew a lot of it).

Most sincerely indeed I thank you for this. The ordinary bookies would never dream of doing such a thing.
Once again thank you so much for the fresh attitude of fairness that you have introduced to the gambling world, you really are a credit to the industry and you make the bookies look like the crooks that they are.

-------

Many thanks to you and the Betfair team for the course yesterday it was very
interesting and well delivered. We both hope it goes from strength to
strength and Betfair keeps going onward and upward.

-------

Just to let you know how much I enjoyed the Education session last night.
I gained a lot from it, and appreciated the advice.
My thanks go to to yourself and your colleagues who were all very helpful.

-------

just a quick (belated) line to say thanks for the evening on 23rd April.

My brother (fairly new to Betfair) came along with me and we both learned a lot.

10 out of 10 for Scott and Martin (I hope I've got the names right!) who created a very relaxed atmosphere, greeted us at the bar with a drink etc, and kept the information flowing thick and fast all evening.

Thanks again, we both learned a lot and had a really good evening to boot.
