Betting odds watch

[PPT]

Used to be maths, knowledge and intuition, these days you can add algorithms into the mix. Plus if you have multiple betting accounts the big bookmakers are owned by a few companies so they have all your info linked.

Entain own Ladbroke, Coral, SportingBet and other International brands

888 own the group of that name plus William Hill and other International brands

Flutter own Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair and big US brand Fanduel plus other International brands.

If you’re a winning punter on one and you are barred or restricted there’s not much chance you will get away with moving to another bookmaker under the same holding company and become a winner (especially through arbitrage betting) again.

The only chance you have is with Betfair. You are bang on with the bookies shutting down winning accounts or restricting bets to the maximum value of £5.00

I saw my farther in laws betting account about 2 month ago, he’d won £40,000 in the year but spent £39,000.

I was shocked, I’ve not told the wife as I think she’d go ballistic.

I told him to get on to gam stop before it gets him in big trouble.

He’s a grand up. Not sure that’s a major problem is it?

Spending £15000 more than a years salary for him. I’d say that’s not wise or sustainable.

Depends whether he knows what he’s doing or just got incredibly lucky. Impossible to say without knowing his average stake size.

There’s a misconception that pro gamblers are just constantly winning day after day. Truth is that very few are turning over more than 2% of their total stakes long term.

I completely agree and gamblers seldom tell you about their losses. I know They also can go chasing their losses. For me? £39000 on to win £1000 if you put it like that, is bonkers.

It’s probably not as bad as it looks that’s not £39k deposited it’s money on bets for example you could put £100 in to play blackjack win lose win lose etc and after 20 games it would show you’ve spent £2k

Your probably right, however I’d say it shows the consistent habit is there. Just took me aback, I sweat on a fiver bet.

Online betting is easy to get carried away as its just numbers on a screen. I had to ban myself there’s a website that you register on and it bans you from all online gambling sites

Well, I only bet with winnings so I literally can't lose
