Juliano to have more responsibility
Actually it had already begun the day before, when Juliano (free section admin), Friday morning, was picked up by me in Copenhagen airport. He arrived a little earlier than the rest of the travellers as Christian and I needed to discuss future employment of Juliano at BettingExpert. In the coming year we won’t have as much time as last year and Juliano will therefore start administering the member service as well. You will of course hear more about that, when the change will come into force.
Later Friday afternoon Levsky and Karakan arrived and we enjoyed dinner together.

3 hours discussion of the future for BettingExpert
Saturday at 2 pm a meeting was held in our office, where Fubinho, Levsky, Karakan, Aslan, Jannis, Juliano, Henrik, Christian and I discussed the future of BettingExpert. The rest of the tipsters unfortunately couldn’t make it to Copenhagen. Christian started our meeting with a small presentation with his ideas and expectations from the tipsters. Especially focusing on the kind of picks we expect the tipsters to take having our members in mind. We had a good discussion with the experts lasting for around 3 hours and we were given some input, which we’ll try and incorporate in the future.
Jannis must certainly be mentioned for the struggles he had to face to make it to Copenhagen. He drove all the way from Amsterdam to make it for the meeting!

Having a good time in Copenhagen
After the meeting we all went to the famous amusement park, Tivoli, in the centre of Copenhagen. Here we had a couple of beers, while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Next stop was an Italian restaurant, which luckily was approved by Levsky. It’s always dangerous to take Italians to an Italian restaurant outside Italy :-)

BettingExpert poker champion 2007: Jannis
After our dinner we all sat down at a poker table, so we once and for all could decide the poker expert of BettingExpert. The excitement was big even though the tournament structure was a bit rough. Due to time concerns the blinds went up pretty fast. However we ended up announcing our horse racing expert, Jannis, as the BettingExpert poker champion 2007. Even though the bookies had him as an underdog, he showed a very skilled and competent poker game combined with the luck needed for being a champion. We congratulate him and Karakan, who came 2nd.

Good to see the faces behind the names
It was great to see the faces of all these tipsters, whose picks you trust and make money from.
On behalf of the team I would like to say that we are very happy that so many of the tipsters made the trip to Copenhagen, and we really enjoyed meeting all of you. We feel that the meeting was a success and hope that we’ll be able to do it again some time in the future.

As part of improving BettingExpert we still encourage any user having ideas, critique or regular feedback to email us with his thoughts or post these in the forum.
