I regularly see Ticket Inspectors working on the (Underground) trains I
drive.

You attempt to avoid the correct fare at your own risk, but don't come
crying on here if you get caught - you won't get a lot of sympathy!

I didn't say that I am definitely doing it, I just asked for some
advice whether it works and how risky is it. I travel in the Tube for
2 months and never saw a ticket inspector, so I assumed there aren't
many of them. Or It probably means that I am lucky

It's not really worth getting a Z1234 travelcard, as I spend roughly 5
a day for 5 days, which gives me 25 pounds, nearly 10 less than a
Z1234 travelcard, but 6 more than Z234, not to mention that I have
bigger flexibility.

Also, I just checked - there are no travelcards in DLR ticket machines
(or at least in Bow Church) - only one day travelcards, nothing more
than that.

It's nothing to do with being 'lucky' as you put it - it's you
(apparently, seriously) considering making a positive decision to steal
from/defraud the rest of the fare paying passengers.

It's worth the correct fare for the journey. You are offered to be
carried at a rate. If you think that rate is not appropriate, don't use
it - just make your own, alternative arrangements. Don't expect anyone
on here to 'approve' your attempted avoidance tactics of the correct
fare to be paid.

By all means consider the legitimate (Oyster pre-pay perhaps) options to
pay less, but as I said earlier, don't come crying to us if you attempt
to defraud and you then get caught out (as others have done recently).

Also, I just checked - there are no travelcards in DLR ticket machines

And advertising the fact on here that you are considering avoiding
paying the correct fare is hardly a good move either.

I am not saying I am lucky that I don't get caught (as I have never
evaded fares), I just said that I never saw the ticket inspector
inside the train, which possibly makes me a minority.

I am using Oyster pre-pay, but a paper travelcard would be better. I
don't say I am going to use it, and certainly wouldn't cry to you if I
get caght, as I know it would be my fault (and that's my risk I might
take).

I am not the first to do that, and nobody was heavily criticized for
similar behaviour. And just a question - what does it have to do with
DLR ticket machines (I suppose you quoted incorrectly)
