I wouldn't push FI on anyone. Yes I've told friends and family what I'm doing, and leave it at that. The last thing you want is a fallout with one of your family for losing them money. Because most of us on here are doing reasonably well, we're in a bit of a bubble, and doesn't mean your closest will trade like you do. Most of your profit is someone else's loss. Money has no friends.

RE: Tonights trader event
Live Canada.
Saying the only way FI will collapse is if UK banned betting :)
Website is https://beta.footballindex.co.uk. Same login
Old site will stay for a couple of months.
Can search by team or country.
Can see what % of people are on each player. that's interesting. Oh I made a mistake there, the %'s are 24hr profit/loss.
Order books will show what prices of sell and buy there are, as in a visual queue. Not sure if that's live yet as I can't find it?
No movement on IPO's in that you still won't know what price you're buying at. I asked if there would be a limit on IPO futures bought, as they're hinting that there may be some small changes to higher quantities on general selling and buying.Also mentioned the forum disquiet about suspected bots, they are saying they are monitoring the situation, and that captcha boxes might slow the system. But It's possible as I've aired it, that they may start thinking about solutions. They didn't confirm or deny.bots.
New website allows portfolio sorting same as app.
Hour and a half slideshow and Q&A's.
One free drink and nibbles. Branded bag with T shirt.
Adam Cole stayed to socialize. Very nice guy and a great team behind him from some top previous gambling companies who just love the concept as much as we do.
Great evening, very friendly people. -
RE: The index is changing ... have you?
We came here for the intrigue of owning players.
We came here for the intrigue of football gambling without losing your bet.
We came here because the ROI is 10 times better and more.
We came here because making money was like sitting in a tin of sweets, goodies.everywhere.
We are here because there is still silly money coming into the market.
We are here because if markets open up across the world, there will be more silly money coming in.
We are all realizing that things are changing along the way.
Some of us have adapted and become more flexible.
Some of us are wondering, do we, or should we change too.
I would like to believe that as FI is still in infancy, it keeps a close ear on the trader pulse, and would not want to see money flowing out, and seems to have a knack of doing just enough to keep market confidence.
I am only a small investor, and have no primary interest in dividends. But I trade on the fact that that there will always be a belief that research and football knowledge can find the next PB gods at sub 50p. Thus driving Cap App.
My money is still better off here, and I haven't reached a point where it feels like really hard work, as in stocks and shares. I appreciate that for big traders, big portfolios are necessary to spread big money around on cheaper players. We complained at the time of there being no interest in 90% of the player pool or so, and we got IPD's.
I am monitoring the general direction as well, but PB dividends have to be relevant to price, and always the driving force.
I suppose it boils down to, what minimum ROI do you want for your time input and risk? And where are you now with that, under or over?

RE: Your Worst HOLD
The Ferret. After watching a fake photoshopped video, and the promise he would be £1 by Xmas.
Shame on everyone who promoted this outrageous proganda to take advantage of vulnerable seniors.
In Texas this is punishable by life imprisonment, as several travellers have found to their cost.

Should the Forum be more prominently displayed in the headline Menu?
It's currently lost in the "More" dropdown menu. I suggest it should replace the "Watchlist" so that new users can see it clearly. There's been regular chat here about new users being manipulated and conned on Twitter etc. It's quite possible it takes a long time to know there is a forum, and by that time they've been fleeced and left..
Where do you stand on this? That you want new users to stay with forum help, or that they fund our profits and tough?
I have sent feedback about it. If you agree, please do the same to bring it up the attention list.

RE: MikeB strongly implies dividend increase
@dannypea just gave him the note. He said good question, nobody’s asked it. I also gave him a screenshot of the F I bot someone was looking to get built. He said it’s good to get some evidence.

RE: What do you want from FI
@HappyLarry59855 The email sounds ok. The reply responds to what you asked. The way you have phrased it, "He said they need to implement something that will benefit the company as well as the traders. And you have added, "I think they need to do this goal and assist, in order to generate money to pay dividends." could make people think they're desperate for money to pay PB and MB dividends. When what they're saying is the G&A has to pay for itself? If so, all is fine?

RE: how much do you stand to lose ?
3.3k. My fault for being distracted with other projects at the time and not fully weighing up the IS withdrawal announcement consequences. If I’d had more money in, I may have sold up and watched

RE: Do you think confidence will come back to the market when Covid is over?
IS removal was brought in to protect FI and us from a Covid selling panic, which predictably happened?

Do you think confidence will come back to the market when Covid is over?
Maybe late next year? Or are there other issues?

Anyone having trouble accessing the forum?
All I can see is topic headers, and no body text when I click on posts. Can't log out of forum to reset.

No problem, FI has done a runner and left the country

RE: Do lying whingers get Media points?
@howsthebacon I believe the police version of, "do you know who I am", the assault and bribery, rather than the gf was injected theory that only surfaced after he left the court..
The only thing I'd agree with him on, is the leg kicking he got from the police, I've seen that on holiday documentaries.
