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.

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

Arbing or arbitrage as it is known in its longer form, has played a key role over the years within the betting industry.
