I used to work for a bookie (see profile). We made honest money from about 9% of the money betted. Never defaulted on a pay out, with a guarantee up to a million. (it's more these days, I'm talking more then 20 yrs ago) The government took another 8.5% for just sitting on it's butt as usual. I am happy to bet my money with those guys, as I am happy with my USA broker who takes a slice of each trade. By it's very nature, I do not trust a system that has no clear method of collecting regular profits. I know of other SI members who have used such a system though. Awaiting answers from pm.
