Totally different people - Mike Baker is the only one of the bigger traders to actually do a video bar Adam Todd. Mike has a lot of credit as he is the only one in recent times to have done so - and to a determined time and date.
He doesn't just post the P&L's or worse still like a certain person just a screen shot of Betfair showing a profit on a race but not the actual bets.
I don't know what is going on with all the Bakers lateley,
first we had Jibiko's Ma Baker, then today i was listening to the Michael Baker Interview on Juicestorm, then who should turn up on this forum the very same day?

They were all paying £ 30 per day for the use of the computers and fast pictures and all made money. I would have joined them but my mother was ill, and I had to look after her, and my other family commitments to my wife and daughter prevented it.
Seeing horses fall fully five seconds before the majority of traders gives an incredible advantage. They were all making money and would have been very stupid if they were not. John Lovell died about 6 weeks after I met him for the last time. I cannot say what is happening now.
Which begs the question how does Mr Wong still manage to do his brains, does it not ??
My comments were directed at their 'Come to us and make shedloads of money' blurb, it is nothing personal towards the Lovells.
Sure, a few people may have made 'Life changing sums' and on the other hand there will be a fair few who have done their cobblers in the same premises - it's the nature of the beast.

The guys who use his shop are not particularly brilliant traders ... I have seen them making money with my own eyes and I know it to be true.
There are scheisters about but the Lovell family are not like this. They are what we, in Wales, call "sound".

Sorry to answer my own post but those who have read mine above may also wish to see this, just found it.
It's another carrot for the donkey newbies. The John Lovell shop in Cardiff boasts "Many of the offices' punters have used the facilities to huge levels of success and in the process earn life changing sums" - newbies put 2 & 2 together and come up with dollar signs, as is often the case.
The jury's out for me on this.
I knew John Lovell and he was a very nice man. I met him last only a few weeks before he was killed in a road accident through no fault of his own. My first meeting with him was over thirty years before.I met his son James who runs the shop. He is a "chip off the old block", very polite, friendly and genuinely helpful.
The guys who use his shop are not particularly brilliant traders but they have access to quick pictures of horse racing through the SIS system which is part of the normal bookmaking business. I have seen them making money with my own eyes and I know it to be true.

Someone referred to Mr 'Wot Went' Wong's blog over at ST some months ago - it went quiet for several months indicating that he had blown (Yet another) bank. Seems he is back in the race for now but judged on previous form he will disappear again shortly.
Someone will surely be able to provide the correct facts and figures but as the analogue era gets fazed out we will be left with 3-6 sec delays at home. I have an analogue connection to my TV which is still working at the moment - turn Sky on and press AV to test but I would guess that the delay is around 3/4 secs.
As trading rooms / offices grow there is almost a 'Second' community of in-running traders who are in it to make money off of one another before the rest of us get chance to join in!
