If you assume (as I do) that this recession is about to be turned into a depression by the antics of the sundry crooks, buffoons and bureaucrats who ruin our lives, keep reading.

But first, a question.

Do these easy money “betting miracle” formula emails enrage you?

You get them. I get them. We all get them.

Here’s one I saw 5 minutes before I drafted this message to you:

Are you tired of the endless betting systems that many are selling you?

Making money from betting isn’t as hard as you think.

There is a secret to backing winners everyday and you can find out right here.

This is a variation on the old “everyone but me is a crook” approach, used by rogues since the dawn of time.

It was signed “Yours sincerely Ron Hill”.

He just missed the “in” before the sincerely.

All you need to remember is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Meanwhile following the results of a recent feedback survey, conducted with many of my past and present members, I’ve decided to do something to help my members in this recession, by slashing my membership fees at Big Mike Betting.

Big Mike Betting is all about changing your mindset, by taking a different approach and importantly, it’s aimed at betting realists as opposed to gambling fantasists.

My goal as always, is for you to win more than you lose and to help you make profits in a more relaxed ‘investor’ like style over the medium to long-term.

So without further ado, here are the details of the revised and much improved Big Mike Betting membership fees;

New member first month half price offer was £29 – Now reduced to just £19.97.

New member best value 2 for 1 month offer was £59 – Now reduced to just £39.97.

Monthly Membership was £69 a month – Reduced to just £39.97 a month.

Quarterly Membership was £189 a month – Reduced to just £109.97 a quarter.

Annual Membership was £599 a year – Reduced to just £397 a year.

Weekend & Sports Bets Membership was £35 a month – Reduced to £19.97 a mth.

(I think you will agree that in these troubling times, I am taking a very realistic and pragmatic approach to the subject of my membership fees)

One thing to end with. For God’s sake don’t sit there like Merkel and Sarkozy saying you’re “going to do something”.

I just came across an email in my files from some fool who’s taken over a year to do nothing except explain why he’s done nothing about changing the way he bets.

So if you are interested in doing something about improving the way you approach betting and trading, go here now.

I hope I haven’t spoilt your weekend, which of course should be a time of rest and relaxation.

Unfortunately the way things are I don’t think this is a very smart time to sit around relaxing. How about you?

Best,

Mike

For the intrest of all my blog followers what follows is a typical example of a Big Mike Betting daily email betting column – enjoy

Big Mikes Saturday Column – 16/07/2011

Great day on Friday with 2 full winning doubles and only one horse letting us down for a mammoth effort.

This followed the 7-1 Ali Baba double on Wednesday and the double via Betfair on Thursday.

Profit on the Double Diamond yesterday was £200 and the profit on the Ali Baba was a further £83. There was also a 9/2 winner in the Dunlop and all the Hughies also won.

I truly hope the 53 ten day trialists on board have enjoyed their time with me, whilst witnessing first hand my groundbreaking approach to betting and trading.

I also hope lots of moolah has been made over the last week. I just despise Bookmakers so much and when we can take the brass off them in quantity then all well and good.

Today I am in Lahndon on business so cannot always be on the ball with the Golf updates but will watch as closely as possible but should be back to normal on Sunday.

Please watch the Forum for any extra bets.

Open Golf

The idea of the portfolio is to try and finish green on any player come Sunday evening. I have to say that this Open is still as tight as a drum and I am expanding the list a little in the hope of netting that winner.

Remember I am quoting to 10x stakes but will account for just 10% of these as I have assumed that is the level the members are playing.

Firstly we have lost on :-

Brian Davis
Camilo Villegas
Graeme McDowell
Ian Poulter
Lee Westwood
Luke Donald
Matt Kuchar
Padraig Harrington
Peter Hanson
Retief Goosen

A total of £10.50p

We are still live with £13.50 liability on the following and the net profit
(revised after the losers) is :-

Martin Kaymer +21.30
Rory McIlroy +26.50
Charl Schwartzel +27.90
Darren Clarke -3.75
Lucas Glover +4.30
Miguel Angel Jimenez +25.30
Thomas Bjorn +19.50
Phil Mickelson +21.50
Steve Stricker +22.50
Jeff Overton +18.50
Rickie Fowler +30.50
Y. E. Yang +19.50
Robert Rock +25.50
Simon Dyson -£2.50
Webb Simpson -5.40
Charles Howell III +24.50
Tom Watson +16.74
Paul Casey +24.50

Now a bit of tinkering –

I am quoting TEN times stakes for the moves

The changes :-

Laying

£3 Tom Watson @ 470
£1 Robert Rock @ 130
£1 Y.E.Yang @ 95
£2 Rickie Fowler @ 60
£1 Jeff Overton @ 70
£3 Steve Stricker @42
£5 Phil Mickelson @ 27
£3 Thomas Bjorn @ 28
£4 Miguel Jiminez @ 21
£5 Charl Schwartzel @ 14.50
£6 Rory McIlroy @ 10.50
£2 Martin Kaymer @ 8.2

So at this stage we have released £36 (or £3.60 if playing for 10% stakes)

Now we need to spend a bit on `possible` party poopers but frankly its still wide open so leaving flexibility for Sunday.

Bets

£4 Darren Clarke @ 17.5
£4 Dustin Johnson @ 21
£4 Sergio Garcia @ 25
£2 Chad Campbell @ 36
£2 Adam Scott @ 34
£2 Davis Love III @ 48
£2 Anders Hanen @ 38

Update – if any on the Forum

SUPER LEAGUE

CRUSADERS V CASTLEFORD

The 7 lads suspended last week by the Cru are available for selection today. `Alfie` (Gareth Thomas) is out with a broken arm and he will be missed.

Rangi Chase though is the big omission from the Cas line up and I feel we should side with the Cru with a start and extra cover.

£32 Crusaders Plus 4.5 @ Betfair @ 1.8 ish

Margins

£5 Cas by 1-5 @ 13/2 betfred
£6 Cas by 6-10 @ 11/2 bluesq/Coral

Saver

£3 Cas by 11-15 @ 12/1 betfred

Best,

Mike

Big Mike is in Portugal for a couple of days this week, but back on Friday, and hopes to do some more live trading via the Forum in the coming weeks and months.

He has been travelling hundreds and hundreds of miles in the past week, renewing contacts for the next few months. Remember though that Big Mike Betting is not a tipping service – far better than that – but it’s always important to learn of people’s ambitions for the season anyway, as you can’t have too many friends in this game.

He is also travelling to Portugal to sow the seeds for the next “Big Mike AGM” over there. The original “haunt” was “A Colina” near Faro but sadly not enough vino was drunk to keep them in business. Big Mike has now located another site which has just come out of Administration so hopefully they will still be there come the Autumn! This time the AGM will take a different format. Big Mike will be discussing Defensive techniques, Money preservation and trading and also will be happy to help members on a one to one basis. At the end of the day he wants members all to have the tools they need to constantly beat the enemy.

If you are not yet a Big Mike Betting member and want to find out more about what you get out of it, then please take a look at the type of betting advice and tips you will get if you do sign up or read about the features of Big Mike Betting membership.

I found this interesting article on about the different types of gamblers. They are listed as the Professional Gambler, the Casual Social Gambler, the Serious Social Gambler, the Relief-and-Escape Gambler, the Compulsive Gambler and the Antisocial Personality Gambler.
