Question 1: What have been your favourite computer games in life and why?

PC: 1000AD. Text based strategy war game. MMORPG. Think I was attracted to the maths behind it and spent countless years mastering it to the point where I couldn't justify learning another game to that depth.
Playstation etc G1 Jockey series. Probably made more for kids, and I guess in essence very basic and unchallenging, it seems to keep my attention and can play for hours on end. All about finally getting your hands on that unbeatable horse.
Gran Turismo. For obvious reasons.
Then basically any sport game.


Question 2: Which games do you most relate to your Betfair experience and why?
I guess 1000AD mostly due to the maths background and attraction of numbers and formulas.

Question 3: How long have you been playing on Betfair?
Are you referring to Betfair as a game?
My forum name says Date Joined 30 Oct 04. That was about the time I found it. Had a bit of a play and look around, then my play was removed, and replaced in about March a few months later for some serious business.

Question 4: How long have you been using the toy.
Fair question. You would know more than me about that I guess? Certainly wasn't the first here, but think I was pretty close to one of the original users?

Question 5: Who would you most like to have whatever with? { Night with Kylie & Danni, Dinner with gershwin that kind of stuff. }
"whatever" as in mind blowing sex, or a lifetime of .....?
Hmm. Keep it simple and non sexual.
I would most like to have a 3 day bender with Joe Rogan. Love the way the guy thinks, interprets, and speaks.
He is outspoken about big things such as conspiracies etc, but never opens his mouth unless he has relevant questions and knowledge, and never makes a firm I know statement, more I question the validity of the story. Basically, thinks a hell of a lot like me, but does the background more thoroughly. Comedian, tv host, and UFC co-host. Funny guy.
Would be a cracker of a few days.

Question 6: Are you or do you personally know a gorgeous 20 - 35 year old blone, brunette readhead whatever with poor eyesight that likes older men, and will you or they sleep with me?
Hmm, this is a tricky one to answer in public. Not sure I know one with poor eyesight, but yeah, will answer yes, I know girls that age that like older men. Just to what extent.
In regards to your last question, yeah sure, I will sleep with you... WTF? Are you suggesting that you would be attracted to me if I knew somebody like that? lol

Question 7: Do you think the geek needs a holiday?
Need is probably a strong word. Does anybody really ever need a holiday? Change is supposed to be as good anyway? But sure, holiday couldn't hurt.

Question 8: Who is the worlds sexiest woman and / or man in your opinion?
Gotta say, I love a girl that isn't afraid to sweat, so my obvious pick here would be Maria Sharapova. Out there in the sun after a 3 hour game of world class tennis, and she still looks as hot as anything else going. That is a whole lot of sexy. In saying that Maria Kirilenko is also a fav of mine. Happy day when they lined up against each other.
Man? Not sure I will choose a "sexiest" as I think that requires physical attraction, but I will stick with Joe Rogan here. I think most females would be happy to land a guy like that. I guess probably a few men too..

[homero]

Question 1: What have been your favourite computer games in life and why?


The good ole graphics adventures: Larry saga (the best), Spase quest, Police quest, monkey island, etc. Those are the games i've enjoyed more.

From Madden 04 to 08 (PC): Because i love american football. I used to be in 3 or 4 online leagues at once.

GTA saga: Well, going "desperado" in a game was fun.


Question 2: Which games do you most relate to your Betfair experience and why?

Any MMORPG, but instead of people liking you, it's taking money from them (and them from me...).


Question 3: How long have you been playing on Betfair?


I've started last summer and quit. Now i'm back again and been playing for two or three weeks.

One month total.



Question 4: How long have you been using the toy.

2 days (loving it so far)



Question 5: Who would you most like to have whatever with? { Night with Kylie & Danni, Dinner with gershwin that kind of stuff. }

A nice week with the entire "so you think you can dance" girls cast.



Question 6: Are you or do you personally know a gorgeous 20 - 35 year old blone, brunette readhead whatever with poor eyesight that likes older men, and will you or they sleep with me? { Cue Mrs Geek giving me a big slap round the head. }

Once i get my betfair rolling i will buy a couple of her's for you.

Polite answer? SURE! You need your well deserved holiday

Non polite, abusive guy answer: What the hell?? Shut up and go back to programming, biatch!


Question 8: Who is the worlds sexiest woman and / or man in your opinion?

I have to go with Halle Berry here.

The underwear scene with a gun from swordfish??? Come on!!!!

[DJB]

Q1 Fav comp game was Starcraft followed by all Command & Conquer series.

Q2 No games have influenced my betfair trading but one line from the movie Wall Street by Gordon Gecko resonated.

"Fund managers are sheep and sheep get slaughtered"

Sometimes it pays to go against the crowd.

Q3 Been with BF for about 4 years, approx 3 years trading as a hobby and trading full time since May 2011.

Q4 Been using the toy since ST Betrader Pro crashed in a screaming heap.

Q5 Anna Ivanovic as a sex buddy. Can't play tennis but who cares.

For a party, guests I would invite:

Tiger Woods or Charlie Sheen with accompaining array of pornstars.
BB King and Pearl Jam to supply the music.
Billy Connolly and John Belushi for comic relief.

Q6 If I knew a gorgeous 20-35yo blonde or brunette with poor eyesight and liked older men I would be doing my best to keep her to myself.

Q7 I'm sure your legion of fans would not begrudge you a holiday.

Q8 Anna Ivanovic
