I'm working on this however I'm using the higher quality getty images pics which I've just downloaded.

I was in the middle of making the Russian pack, I guess someone unassigned me because I can't remember doing it..

I made a few Swedish packs a couple of years ago using these sites https://www.allsvenskan.se/ and https://www.superettan.se/

Original

The method I used to use to enhance the pics has either changed or my memory has failed me but just changing the "height-180" line to height-5000 (or higher if you want even bigger pics) seems to do the trick.

Sorry pal, twas just practicing haven't made a cut in a while and cut the first picture I came across from a source that was actually available to me.

I'm guessing there's a trick to accessing these photos without contacting the company or hitting print screen because all I'm getting is a single pixel.

You could always find a torrent for photoshop, I use a portable version of CS6 no install required just sits on the desktop.

For starters West Ham, Inter and I think Arsenal have already been cut, maybe more I haven't been online that often.

In order to get access to the pics you need to contribute source images from five different teams, if we could be arsed to do that we wouldn't be in this thread.

I have the promotions page of each bookie bookmarked so takes about five minutes longer than looking through the today's offers list on the forum, also I'd find loads of offers days before they got posted on Facebook giving me more time to prepare.

In order to do it long term and make a living off it you need to multi account or look like the biggest mug in history to the bookies, everyone gets gubbed at some point though.

As for why isn't everyone doing it, try to tell everyone you know that you can make a bucket load of risk-free money at the bookies and you'll probably get an instant answer to that question.

I did this for a month in March (with profit accumulator) and made a grand and I already had accounts with most of the bookies so 2/3rds of it was through reload bonuses. It's worth the sign-up fee to pillage all of the spreadsheets for e/w, extra places and to learn how to do the acca reloads after that though you're effectively giving them £18 to do a Google search for you.

Anyways I'm still doing it (not with PA) and make between 2 and 3 grand a month depending on how many sporting events are on, I have 3 accounts with each bookie though. Paddy's offering about £250-300 in free bets this month alone which is worth about £700 to me.

The fact of the matter is it's silly season and it's only going to get worse. Thankfully I don't have the power to delete posts or dish out warnings because the site would be stripped bare and there'd hardly be anyone left so the best I can do is point them in the direction of the best sources available.

As for the why can't cutters do this and not that, I made the same point 3 or 4 years ago when every other pack was a Champions League team and I'm cutting Icelandic third division teams. Admittedly I was a lot more aggressive in my approach than you anyway I almost got banned and received the message back of "who cares, people can cut whichever packs they want to cut" followed by a load of which is why you don't see too many packs from the likes of Kazakhstan and Malaysia from me nowadays.

I prefer the website you linked to last year, sure they weren't proper requests like these ones aren't and we had to ID the pics ourselves but at least we had access to all of the pics without having to jump through hoops. I really can't be arsed.

Yeah I think I'll just give up now and accept defeat.

Come back SSP man.

Now you've just done what he was doing originally and taken medium quality pics off getty images when with a bit of patience fupa.net will have super HD versions of those same pics from the same source.

If we're going to collect images for the country with the most cuts of the highest quality than any other in the game at the very least make sure you get the highest quality pics for those teams even if it means waiting for a week or two, they aren't exactly in desperate need of an update after all.

This is what I'm talking about btw LINK, produces a far better cut due to not having to zoom in as much, having more detail in the hair, features etc, etc..

The Leverkusen pics are here on dfb.de, just click a player and view image and remove "custom_style_1.png" from the address bar and there should be even better pics on fupa.net once they acquire the rights to the getty images pics and update the team although they are a bit slow.

You'll know when they update the pics because the team page will have a squad photo at the top of the page like this, again view the image and replace big or small with original in the address bar. Click any teams badge on the page I've linked to to view their squad screen.
