I will do this in multiple posts as there are so many different areas to cover that are of interest to me. I absolutely love reading books and have done since I was small. To give a rough idea I probably read a book a week on average and have done for as long as … Continue reading 154. Books (1)

So when I wrote the last tweet on Affordability Checks (150) I had no definitive proof that I believed restrictions were driving more people to the Black Market than Affordability Checks were at that moment in time. I still don’t. It is just my opinion. The problem with these situations and there were various tweets … Continue reading 152. Affordability Checks (3)

One of the things that constantly gets rolled out when discussions of Affordability Checks take place is that they are causing punters to move to the dangerous mysterious world of the Black Betting Markets. It’s tough to know where to start with the ‘Black Market’ because I struggle to even define what it is.

We have seen a well known bookmaker just last week complain about customers who take stale prices. Always taking best prices.  By stale prices we simply mean prices that are slightly out of date and not been updated … Continue reading 147. Stale Prices

It is rare that two words cause me more disdain than those of ‘matched betting’. Well maybe ‘bean counters’, ‘trading decisions’ and ‘bookmaking industry’. However, it is tough to measure the damage that I think ‘matched betting’ has caused. Matched betting’ is in essence a customer taking advantage of the free bets that bookmakers offer, … Continue reading 146. Matched Betting

2022 has been a great experience since I started posting on Twitter. I set out with the goal of posting 100 tweets to try and help people both improve their betting/knowledge and understand some of what happens in the industry. We are at 144…The people I have met and interacted with along the way is what … Continue reading 144. 2022
