Guys I can't believe I'm 50 years old! 50 years, my goodness, if I count it right, that's half a century. It seems like yesterday we were chasing the ball around the little square until dark. At that time there was no internet so if we got together it was obvious that we were going to play football. These matches were usually life or death, and we showed no mercy. Sometimes the shoe would break and sometimes the foot would break. My mum came to pick me up in the dark and scolded me that I wouldn't find my way home again and besides, you can't see the ball at this time of night and it was a school night! I was good at football during my school years, I was always in the age group teams and the actual school teams. When I was in high school, a friend asked me to come and fill out a quiz with him. I didn't even know what it was at first. At that time, you could play the toto on weekends and it was 5 cents a ticket. After that, we used to play toto every weekend, with my mum as a chaperone, and we would play half and half, and I would save my share of the food money. I didn't even have to wait long for the first 10 hits. HURRA MONEY! Not much but we won! Maybe that was the point where I was infected for good.
After that, I played not only 1-2 sections per week, but various variations. At that time, filling out such a variation was a pain, as you had to copy the same tips three times into separate columns. However, the difficult filling did not deter me. I remember that if I messed up a coupon, it was possible to exchange it for a new one at the newspaper stand on the corner or at the nearby post office. Toward the end of the vocational high school, the tots got really hard, and by that time I had met several guys who were also dedicated players. More than once it happened that in the study room we did not deal with the lesson but debated on Tippmix tips. Here I would like to note that there was no internet in those days. The information could be gathered from Népsport and from Sportfogádás, the yellow newspaper published on Thursdays.
I remember that people were almost dying for the yellow paper on Thursday. Usually we bought it before school started so we wouldn't run out. Later, when the newspaper lady saw how enthusiastic we were, she put it aside for us. I will never forget her name, she was a very nice lady called Marika. During my school years, with the help of the information we gathered from the newspaper, we managed to get 12 hits in a week when there were no 13 and 13+1 hit tickets, I still remember to this day that we won 75.600 Ft. That was fuel for the fire, from then on we had money to play with. We saw and believed that sports betting could make some serious money. After four years at vocational school, my aq peers and I parted ways, life took us all in different directions, and I found myself in a factory by the age of 18 where, fortunately, the toto was played collectively. Many people, especially the Ladies just put in their weekly toto money and didn't care about the rest, if there was a prize they got their share and that was that.
We boys were the driving force of the collective, we worked out the tips and filled in and posted the tickets. There were months when we made more money from the totals than we were paid. I'll never forget that time I was paid 10.500 Ft. There was a month when we took out 20,000 per person just from sports betting.That was a huge amount of money in those days. In my early 20s, I had 8-10 people working for me, and I focused mainly on merchandising. During this time I was also involved in sports betting, trying different variations. My biggest win was with 10 fixed games, I managed to get 13+1 hits. Seeing my success, my friends wanted to join me. At this time I was financially independent, I had my own flat, car, shops so I didn't need anyone's money but one of my best friends just begged me to take it. I had a tactic, a basic strategy, you could say, for a lake at that time. For each match I wrote in the toto the number one, the home team, and wrote the other picks next to it. Sometimes I could catch matches like Cottbus-Bayern Munich at home. If there had been other sports betting options back then, I would have had odds of about 15.00. So my friend and I also won a lot , we had 13 and 13+1 hits several times.
Then came the Hungarian bookmaker. 1997 24 November is the first betting day!
At that time, it was also flowing from the tap. New sports betting game on the horizon. Even from the tap advertisements were running. It was impossible not to be aware of it. I thought, what have I got to lose, I'll look at it and try it. Jesus, this is really great, here I can decide which matches I want to bet on and they don't dictate to me. This was heaven itself. I had never even seen that before. Of course, in those days, there was also a list of three and five bindings, which meant that the tips were divided into 3 groups. Tipmix tips ranked in five bindings could only be played in five bindings. The towering favorites were usually placed here. In some leagues, there were no more than 2-3 matches per day, even those were such that not even God knew what the final result would be. This was the heyday of Hungarian sports betting. With the spread of the Internet, the sportsbook's job became easier. In the past, you had to sweat blood for the correct sports betting tips. Today, our work is significantly easier, a few clicks and we have access to the necessary information. It is very important that we obtain this information only and exclusively from reliable places, because any false information can lead us astray. I have been involved in sports betting for 32 years! I have developed a unique and effective tip filtering system that helps me a lot when placing my daily bets. One might think that in all this time he has become bored with it all. For me, Tippmix tips are a precise creation of love, an eternal hobby, a vocation. I think it will stay that way. As long as I live, this great game will have a place in my heart. During the several decades I have spent betting on sports, I have learned quite a few basic things and truths. If you feel that you also need a patron, you can say a mentor, who will help and smooth your way, feel free to look for him!!
