This time last year I had 12 people putting bets on for me as I couldn’t get a bet on in my own name. In the end it became too stressful, I started losing me Barnet, lost half of what I won and quit well in front. I then used my winnings to start funding a car sales business. Chip pan and fire eh?

It’s quite similar to auctions. You need to know when the prices are wrong and act on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metcars 397 Posted September 24, 2018 Interesting subject. I would imagine you could actually calculate the odds of being able to purchase a car from auction with no 'issues' that then sells immediately. The dilemma would be would you buy the car with long odds or short? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
