Let’s take a look at the withdrawal issues facing customers in more detail. It’s been talked about a lot and some of the behaviours from the bookmakers are really unsatisfactory. I think the easiest way to do this is look at my personal experiences with Unibet. So the account was originally opened in April 2011. … Continue reading 132. Withdrawals

The question I am asked more than anything else is why I have decided to do these tweets. I have seen so many examples in recent days of exactly why I decided to do these tweets and wanted to help bring it to as large an audience as possible. Whether it be Rufus and his … Continue reading 131. Bookmakers (5)

I have talked about downswings and variance before. I thought I would give a real life example to put it into some perspective. This involves one of the most successful people I know in the betting space. A big winner and has been for more years than I can remember. He has been doing NFL … Continue reading 130. Downswings (2)

The answer is obviously Nottingham Forest to win the Premier League. At present you can get them at 1000 on Betfair (the biggest they can be) or 5000/1 at some bookies. A HUGE price. Honestly, those prices are on the short side.  The point is that through the manipulation of information and data we can … Continue reading 129. Narratives (2b)

I always enjoy the debate around certain tweets I send. The overwhelming reaction to the last tweet was that nothing will change because it’s the ‘norm’. The media know where their bread is buttered. The ordinary punter is uneducated about betting and doesn’t want to be. Like all status quos I think it is good … Continue reading 128. The ‘norm’

Twitter has been an incredibly enlightening experience and has been nothing but positive since I started posting content six months ago. My aim was to provide free content to help people become better punters. That hasn’t changed and remains the goal. Kevin Pullein in the Racing Post today talks about punters in the UK having … Continue reading 127. Big Twitter Accounts

I have wanted to put together a quick list of 100 pointers for the ordinary punter for some time. The punter who doesn’t do this all day every day. If you are unsure what any of them mean just ask or look under the Topics section and you will likely find a more detailed explanation. … Continue reading 126. 100 Quick Pointers

I cannot stress enough the importance of being in the right frame of mind when betting. It applies to whether it is pre off betting or trading in running. Your mind has to be super clear to make optimal decisions. External influences are real. We all have so many other things going on in our lives, … Continue reading 125. Frame Of Mind

This follows on from the Inactivity Tweet (Tweet 123). Pretty morbid but important. If you are betting large sums of money and have money tied up in a whole variety of places you have to make provisions, that loved ones know what is happening, if anything happens to you. For example, I have all account … Continue reading 124. Future Planning
