My deleting nightmare, and a website slip-up
Today’s Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
‘In which Charlie accidentally deletes all his Biz Opp Jungle emails... forgets to put a link on his site... but redeems it all with the latest Betting Banter results – see half way down this web-page for the full details: Click here’
Hi
For someone who uses a computer almost every day...
...I can’t half be a numpty sometimes.
On Wednesday I sat down to go through my Biz Opp Jungle inbox. It’s on a special hosting site so I can keep all the business side of things separate from my personal email.
Anyway, I saw there was a lot of junk email on there. So I selected all the dodgy stuff and then pressed DELETE.
Suddenly, ALL my emails vanished.
Panicking, I went to my “delete file”. They were there. But for some reason, instead of moving them back into my inbox, I again accidentally deleted them.
The upshot is, if you happened to send me an email between Saturday 3rd of October and Wednesday 7th October, I’ve lost it. Your email is gone. It’s vanished. It’s gone to cyber heaven. It’s floating in the big recycling folder in the sky. The email formerly known as “your email” is now an ex-email.
I spent the rest of the week trying to find out if there was any way of retrieving the emails... but no.
So apologies if I haven’t responded to a query. Please retry me and I’ll do so during the week.
Okay, while I’m being contrite...
D’oh, where was that Betting Banter link?
For the past few weeks I have also been labouring under the false assumption that I’ve had a link to the Betting Banter service on my site.
This has been remedied – you can now trial this impressive service here

Meanwhile here’s one to avoid
Why Star is a no-go
A reader emailed me to warn me about a betting service called 5 Star Tipster.
“I started using this back in April 2009 with a starting bank of £3000.00 and at a cost of £169.00 per month to have the bets automatically placed for me.
It started off well and made profits of about £2500 in April, £3500 in May, £3000 in June then it started to slip and made no real profit in July, made a loss of £3000 in August, recovered it all back in Sept only to lose it all again.”
Once my reader’s money had been lost – that’s £3K DOWN TRE PAN - he received the following response from the tipster behind the service, Jamie Kelly:
“Today was yet another hard day for me at 5 Star Tipster. We were unlucky at times as well, but at the end of the day, you make your own luck in this business. This is how I have personally pocketed well over £500,000 in my 15 years of betting as a professional.
We are at a situation where we can afford another 2-3 more races, but, I am finding it extremely hard to continue. And, I would like to announce that I am leaving 5 Star Tipster, and I will not be running it anymore.
I continue to receive abusive email, and it is getting to the point where it is severely affecting my health. I dont know how many of you know this, but I suffered a mild stroke back in 2008 from horse racing, and the pressure behind this. Many of you believe that Jamie (me) pockets your fee, and I am making money the easy way - Let me tell you this is not true in the slightest. I am a worker at 5 Star Tipster, I do not even own the company, and we have an IT Team, and a team of professionals who visit the track. People do not even consider the automated software that we have, and the costs, we need several powerful servers, maintenance to monitor it and so - it isnt cheap. From a typical £150 fee, I actually receive around £10 which is a pretty lousy wage.”
UNBELIEBABLE!
And no apology either! Just the accusation that the clients who moaned about losing their money are the ones at fault.
My advice as always, don’t give any money to ANYONE to tip on your behalf, however decent they seem. And treat pathetic sob stories like this with short thrift.
Avoid this or anything remotely like it.
On a final note today...
“Would you pay £120 for someone to tell you: “Bet on the favourite?”
Here’s an email I got from a Biz Opp Jungler on Thursday.
“You were right to warn people about Jager systems. I sent for his greyhound racing system. What a load of nonsense it turned out to be. When I rang him to say I didn’t understand what he was getting at, he simply suggested I bet on the first two favourites of any race.
I paid £120 for that piece of useless information. I could easily have told him this system(if you could call it a system) doesn’t work.”
I’ll be back with more from the Jungle during the week.
Later alligator
