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. As can be seen I deposited £4292 into the account. I withdrew £1000 and then … Continue reading 188. Black Markets (5)
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 lot of detail to give a good idea about what was happening.

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 1.1 before losing. The whole purpose of the posts this week is to highlight that … Continue reading 180. Losing Bets (2)
