Same thing happens at all major sports events where there is large scale betting interest. At the Open Golf you will see a reporter feeding back info on every shot from the contenders and well backed golfers. I’m guessing the reporter is shared by all the major companies who bet on the winner in running. I worked for William Hill in the 80’s, sometimes at the North West Head Office was in Wellington Street, Stockport. The shops had a liability table. Any single bet taking out more than £200 had to be approved over the phone from Stockport. However, if it was on for example on Miss World and the bet was from a “stranger” it had to be rang in if the stake was over £10. Big winning bets also needed to be checked and verified by HO. One night a dual forecast patent on GRA greyhounds came in for about £300 to a 70p stake. The problem was the same bet had been placed in several shops around the country by “strangers”. The bets were cancelled and the punters lost out. It also happened with more publicity to the 100/1 hole in one betting and Flockton Grey’s infamous 2 year old race (he was actually 3 years old at the time).

I’m Not interested in what you bet on in play or not you show a level stakes profit after 100 bets and i will pay you a grand !! If not you give me 9 ton
When you wanna start ??
It is possible to make a living from it, I gave up my job 3 years ago and have been doing just that. I "earn" on average £3000 a month. I could provide evidence in various forms, spreadsheets, bookie accounts, bank statements etc. but I doubt doing so would turn you into a believer and I doubt even less I would ever see the £1000. But if your serious we could meet and I would give you access to all said data, An extra £1000 on my bottom line will certainly help with Xmas ;)

If you are backing something at say 3.4 then laying at 2.4 and you are disciplined and really know your stuff then fair enough it is possible I’m talking about simply backing things with a normal bookmaker and not trading.It is possible to make a living from it, I gave up my job 3 years ago and have been doing just that.

I have probably done 100 bets with Paddy Power on line by now and I am definitely up. Admittedly a lot of it’s down to a large Brexit bet but still well up all the same. I have my ins and outs from bettingon my bank statements as I have kept several years worth, so I’m up for the bet if we can have it retrospectively.You put up 100 bets if you are in profit I will pay you £1000 if not in profit pay me £900 ??

So, I do lay most of my bookie bets off and my profit comes from taking the value bookies offer. But if I had never layed a single bet off I would have 40% more profit! In the last 9 months for example my spreadsheet shows my bookie accounts have a net profit of 44000 whilst my exchange accounts have a net loss of 14000, and it really doesn't matter how you analyse the data-the answer is always the same-don't lay=40% more profit. Of the 200+ bookie accounts I have (or have had, a lot are closed for this very reason) only 10 have negative net deposits. I am currently fearing I may lose a Will Hills account-in the 3 months it's been open it has won 5K over 550 bets!

I'll support Bluste41, I was making £1000 a month comfortably matched betting, did this for 2 years before my accounts were virtually all restricted, biggest losses being Hills (their 4 means more and high 5 offers were legendary) and bet365 with their paying out at 2up, the rest comes from placing a lot of bets at stakes around 10 and 20 quid.
You can make a living wage from it if you have access to multiple accounts, but not, I suspect, long term (I'm talking 10 years plus, everyone runs out of family and friends at some point).
My current cunning plan is to GDPR all the bookies and then when I've been forgotten start again.......

Tennis only in play. If I think a price is wrong before a game starts I’ll trade it but I’ll always trade out prior to the off. Footy 90% in play.

There’s no single strategy that works, that’d be like finding a treasure map. The hardest part of it is constantly having to find new strategies. It’s a very fluid game, strategies are only profitable until the markets adjust themselves. Milk the cow dry then on to the next cow.Sorry a bit late to this.

obviously you pay a gnoming tax?All very true, but as I said with accounts in family/friends names I have been making a living from it for 4+ years. I average £600 a week.
