Man of Mystery is a great one. He runs a bot on betfair. He also has set up a radio station WUBT. He has interviewed various traders/bloggers. Yesterday he interviewed Peter Webb from Bet Angel. I thought it was great. He would love to interwiew you if you were up for it. I am sure he will try and contact you at some point, so I will leave you both to get in contact with each other, if you can be persuaded to go public. The blogosphere and the general punters would be very interested in your story. BTW also, has anyone thought about writing a book about Betfair or your good self. I am sure it would sell well, and it is a good idea to capture the history before it is all forgotten. Check out his blog if you get Lets guess “yes”.

Fri, 23 Nov 2007 06:12:35 +0000 http://www.bertsblog.co.uk/horses/england-expects.html#comment-474 Sorry to hog your blog btw, but check out mine one day. This mornings post. The Betfair Revolution. Some people think it is just about gambling. They know not what they talk about. It has changed the world. We now have for an international community of gamblers/traders that talk to each other on a daily basis. We talk about gambling. We talk about life. Occasionally we talk about how to make the world a better place. Without Betfair this would not have been possible. Some of us have different political views, but through the Betfair forum, and the wonderful world of the blogosphere, we chat, we converse, we exchange ideas, and occasionally come to some sort of consensus. Without betfair I would not be doing this. Eventually the betfair model will probably take over FTSE/Nasdaq/etc. It will have an impact on the world financial system. Eventually the US will change its gambling laws allowing companies like betfair to live long and prosper. This will have a profound effect on the social psyche of USA, and in turn the the world. When Andrew Black and others came up with this idea, they thought they were just changing gambling, but they were just about to change the world. Frightening scary but true.

I'll be watching with interest. TG, I'll reply when I have a little more time - have to rush off to Ascot now. JT,
