194. Specialisation (2)
2024 provides an event that is perfect for specialisation. These are the sorts of events you should be targeting. Once every four years when the bookmakers feel obliged to offer events but really don’t want to. I am of course…
193. Black Markets (9)
I think what has been really telling in the last couple of weeks is the reaction of people to the black market situation. It is always tricky when you say you haven’t been paid by a company or they haven’t…
192. BetMGM
I have touched on BetMGM previously with regard to their hugely irritating/misleading radio advert and the golden era of sports betting. I hear and see them quite a lot these days and it must be costing them significant sums of…
191. Black Markets (8)
Let’s talk more generally about my Black Market experiences. I went into it with my eyes wide open. I expected plenty of issues and they didn’t disappoint. I had a 100% strike rate of having issues with these companies. People…
190. Black Markets (7)
The final bookmaker in question was Playhub Casino and their sportsbook. There was some thought behind the process in that they were essentially a skin of God Odds. They had the same software and offered the same markets. This time…
189. Black Markets (6)
The next bookmaker in question is God Odds. This is the Black Market bookmaker I have seen touted the most. I have heard it mentioned on podcasts. It’s tough to know where to even start with them. The sign up…
188. Black Markets (5)
The next Black Market bookmaker in question is Magicwin based out of Curacao. Their website is; https://www.magicwin.bet/en/sportsbook I have attached some screenshots (on the Twitter post) so people can be left in no doubt as to what was going on.…
187. Black Markets (4)
So let’s start naming names and discussing the behaviours of four Black Market bookmakers. Let’s start with the gentle stuff. I originally wrote a couple of tweets about my early experiences with one; https://propunting.co.uk/2023/10/05/181-black-markets-2/ https://propunting.co.uk/2023/10/10/182-black-markets-3/ I went into quite a…
186. Networking
To be successful at betting you need a wide variety of skills and traits. The one skill that will potentially elevate you to the next level and make the biggest difference is the ability to network and network effectively. There…
185. Suggested Changes (2)
15. Account restrictions (2) – I think it would be a reasonable solution that bookmakers can only restrict customers betting accounts if they are showing a profit. I realise the impact this might have on losing accounts and their value…
184. Suggested Changes (1)
I am often asked what things I would change in the industry to try and make it fairer for the customer. So here goes. These are just my suggestions. Some will no doubt be difficult to implement. I am sure…
183. Account Restrictions (2)
As the bookmakers blame affordability checks for falling profits one thing has always stood out. Just how much money the bigger bookmakers have left on the table through their increasingly ridiculous policy of restricting so many accounts. These companies have…
182. Black Markets (3)
So I thought I would give an update on the tweet I sent a few days ago about the experience I had had so far using Black Markets. This isn’t bets placed via What’s App or some other messaging service.…
181. Black Markets (2)
Black Markets have been talked about a great deal recently as an unintended consequence of the new proposed affordability checks. I thought I would share my experience of one bookmaker within that sphere. I have said before I haven’t had…
180. Losing Bets (2)
People are suffering losing betslip fatigue. I will post one more losing betslip though. Without doubt the most frustrating one on that Bet365 account given the account was closed between bet placement and the event taking place. It traded at…
179. Losing Bets
One thing that people don’t really talk about in this game is losing bets. If you are a professional in this game you better get used to losing a lot of bets. All we ever see talked about is winning…
178. Privacy
I think one thing you have to have to assume in this industry is that if you are placing big bets or you are a well known figure, then there is a high chance that people will talk about you…
177. Free Rolling
One thing I am increasingly hearing about is bookmakers effectively free rolling customers. This comes in all sorts of different guises. The basic principle though is that if the bookmaker is able to get themselves into positions where they can’t…
176. Gamblers Consumer Forum
Gamblers Consumer Forum (GCF) was setup in recent times with Andrew Woodman and Abbie MacGregor the main driving forces behind it. It was launched at Sports Bash a few weeks ago. It can be found at http://www.gamblersconsumerforum.com. The purpose is…
175. Media Accounts
The recent Tony Calvin Star Sports interview with Simon Nott (part 5) was interesting as it reminded me about the media and how preferential the treatment is that they receive with regard to betting accounts. It was widely known more…
