The C Kid - In the Well

photo please

Excellent.

Are you really degenerate or how much attention do you pay to betsizing? Estimating edge in the special markets must be tough, so how do you get to it?

Does facial care help with your analysis?

How seriously do you take modelling, or is that something that you don't do much of?

What sort of mindset do you take while looking for bets? Looking at underrated/overrated, contrarian stuff?

What team/person/horse do you think is the most underrated/overrated at the moment?

Will Dunguib crush that hard?????

Who do you think is more annoying in Home and Away, Rachel or Jai?

If we put dbc in the well next, do you know any stonemasons?

1. Law In UCC, Corporate Law In Galway, Journalism in DCU, Marketing In Sligo IT. I'm embarrassed just listing them. I get a lot of abuse for my serial dropouts from my mates and if i go back in September, I'll get a ****load of action on how long i last.

2. Cork - Cork is an amazing city, the people are really good fun and the social life was as good as anywhere I've experienced in Ireland. From reading Boards though it appears they are not that good at the internet. I was fairly studious at school and would also have been busy in the bookies or playing sports so I wouldn't have been a big drinker. This all changed when I got away from home. Basically just spent a year punting/drinking, the social aspect of UCC is absolutely superb. Dropped out as couldn't be bothered failing.

Galway - The course I liked best but came at a bad time. I was just starting to back seriously and was spending a lot of time studying form and compiling my own speed figures and handicapping. I also think mentally I wasn't in great shape here, as I had a relatively easy upbringing until I was 18, everything kinda fell into place for me, i found school easy, good family etc, and when I dropped out in Cork i was kinda depressed for a bit as it felt like I was no longer bulletproof. I think when you have a set plan which alot of students do leaving school, it's a shock when everything doesn't go to plan. Didn't go to many lectures, smoked a lot of weed, used to spend most of my time punting on Betfair and arbing the books around town which was ridiculously easy at the time.

DCU - Was really into poker at the time, and basically spent 12 hours a day grinding online. This was a really pathetic existence but I have a really obsessive personality when it comes to hobbies, and was just completed obsessed with learning and trying to improve. Lectures didn't really matter. Also thought DCU was pretty boring tbh but was probably due to the fact that i didn't really make an effort.

Sligo - Gave me something to do during the day when i wasn't potting or punting. Course was ridic easy, social life was great. Dropped out when had either crashed and burned or disappointed in bed any remaining females on my course.

3. Worked in a pitch and putt club from the age of 13 or so. Was best job ever lol. Spent most of my time playing, or trying to hustle someone. We started cardgames in the clubhouse when it was too wet to play. It was pretty apparent from an early age that some of us were alot more degen than others. Pretty funny winning bikes stuff from your mates and then have their olds ring yours to get it back. Got into online gambling in Cork, and was soon potting away playing SNGs.

4. Same as above really. Of the maybe eight or nine of us who hung out at the Pitch and Putt club I'd say eight are proper degens, and at least two will properly struggle to function in the real world as a result of their addiction. From about 15 or so started to take an interest in horse racing, just from hearing a few of the older lads talk about it. Started to buy racing papers cycling to work every morning during the summer. Kept it up during the winter and remember watching Istabraq win the 2000 champion and just being completely hooked. Used to get bets put on by older lads, and one of the independents in town would let us gamble at lunchtimes and on Saturdays. Opened online account with mothers CC when 17 after seeing ad in RP.

5. Completely person dependent. I have massive respect for anyone who grinds out a living doing either. I don't want to have to do it anymore.

6. Home And Away, It's just quality. I actually cannot miss it, the quicker RTE manage to make it possible to series link stuff will make my life so much easier. I'm so tilted if i miss the 1-25 show it's not even funny. When it goes off for a week or two, i don't know how to start my day.

7. I didn't actually play that much, or chat too much with anyone there. Because I was playing loads online at the time, and hadn't really discovered Boards I wasn't that bothered about chatting with people too much, and in general poker players are pretty boring to hang out with. It's a pity as from memory I remember Phantom Lord and OPR played and judging by their posts on here I probably would have got on with and learned a lot from them.

Gonna ask some random Q's feel free to skip trough the ones u don't wanna answer.

Most that you've ever won in a day/week/month/year?

Five figures/ Five figures / Five Figures / Five figures

Most that you've ever lost in a day/week/month/year?

See Above

Baths or showers?

Showers if I'm running good, baths if I'm running bad.

Best sweat you ever had (betting)?

So many good ones. I mean at the heart of it thats why you punt.

Horse-wise George Washington's Guineas, Hurricane Run's Arc, An infamous 2/5 shot in a hunter chase at Down Royal, Laying Motivator In The Derby but still standing the lot again in the Eclipse.

Sports-wise the 2008 US Open is my fav. The whole tournament was magic, I mean just incredible. The dream threesome in the opening two rounds, Tiger's knee, Tiger's back-nine on the Saturday, the eagle on 13 after his LOL drive, taking as much as I could before the eagle putt on 18. Rocco. Westwood and Tiger on 13 on the Sunday. Watching the putt on 18 on Sunday with the most confidence I'd ever had of someone holing it.

They don't all win though. Losing ones are fun too. Mates dog was making it's debut at Romford in a maiden. Listening to Will Hill comms, myself and a mate on Betfair taking anything we could get laid at any price. Commentary is amazing, anyone who has ever listened to these knows how dull they are. This one just goes mental, saying there is a huge gamble in the ring, they taking all prices, never seen the like etc. They were taking odds at the end just for any amount. Dog gets chinned by a pup who was future ante-post fav for Derby and who never traps but led us up and we still nearly back-ran it.

AND RHYDIAN BEFORE THE STUPID SCOTTISH CLOWN ROBBING ME.




Do you remember your first teacher?

Yeah.

What scares you the most and why?

Commitment, the stupidity of people and to quote Walter Abrams "this ****ed up need to feel something. To convince yourself you exist."

If u had to punch one? Henry or Hellmuth?

Henry, but being a Spurs fan I hated the smug, beautiful genius long before all these silly bandwagon jumpers.


Best advice anyone ever gave u?

Women, like everyone sometimes get ahead of themselves, I mean Titi Camara once said he was a better footballer than Thierry Henry. And "It's always red"


Beer or sprits?

I can't drink at all. I'm an embarrassingly cheap date.


Your bad beat story?

None. They are insanely boring and people who tell them should be shot in the face. Repeatedly.

cheers for doing this
