Diary of a professional punter

[Dubai]

I can have unlimited amounts on any market on ladbrokes at the moment.

Got to give action to get action imo- id snap close any boring arber who just picked me off when i was 0.3pts above betfair

[Karabiner]

so where do people get on in size these days?

or is it all done by runners/spreading around various accounts etc?

Bet with skybet obv.

Donny races other week, wanted £80 on an 11/8 shot, bookmaker said he'd let me have £40 on. I declined and got 13/10 with somebody else.

11/8 is better than 13/10.

!

£80 on 13/10 >>>>>>>> £40 on 11/8

yeah but 40 at 13/10 + 40 at 11/8 >>>>

but that isn't the main complaint - I got restricted by bet 365 just because I was only betting their offers when the prices were competitive.  I was losing then a 9-1 ew winner and restricted before the jockey had weighed in.  Its like Tesco banning you because you are only buying their discounts.

Check out my thread on iesnare.

I'm learning more and more about this disgusting invasion of privacy from bookmakers.

When you visit a betting site for the first time, they download something (without telling you obv) and then if you turn out to be a winner or an arber they leave the information on this download.

Then if you try to visit another site which uses iesnare, they know in advance you are barred/limited by the other site and take appropriate action.

So, if you have "clean" accounts never let redarmi on your computer to check his accounts., cos you be linked to him and the firms will limit you!

You can delete the iesnare stuff.  They prob use it mostly to try to spot "relatives" accounts, I think that they will just share info to identify "undesirables".

I suggest if you haven't deleted iesnare it's the reason you can't deposit there.

Exactly the same thing happened to me a few weeks back with VC.

Spoilsports are pretty mingy too, I tried to bet a 12/1 shot the other day and they would only let me have £13.50 on, and that's an account I'm behind on!

Actually Boyles really are the most pathetic firm ever.  My first ever bet with them was £500 on Villa to beat Chelsea @ 11/2 in the 4pm Sky game on a Sunday.  Chelsea had some injury problems but the general market price was 5/1 and they went off about 6.2 on Betfair.  They obv won 1-0 and the next time I tried for a bet I got offered £3.26 @ 9/4!!!

I really do hate bookmakers nowadays.

I have never cheated, I have never done anything dodgy. All I want is a fair bet.

Odds compilers get paid up to 100k per year, but they aren't trusted that their opinion is more accurate than mine.

Bookmakers theses day are pathetic chickens.

I have nothing but contempt for arbers, they really are lowlife penny pinchers. I would restrict them to 10p max bets.

Well there was an iesnare folder there that I deleted when you posted, so maybe.  

[The Camel]

So I am forced to bet on other peoples accounts.

Where is the logic in that for the bookmakers?

If they think I'm such a punting genius, surely they would want to know what I want to back with them so they could amend their price?

So instead of having one bet, when the price is so wrong I can be bothered to go to the trouble of asking people to bet for me, i have 5 times as much on and they don't know the bet is mine.

What absolute idiots they are.

[redarmi]

Not only that but when the people that are putting on for you realise that you are turning a profit they often want to bet themselves so the bets get bigger and bigger.  If the genuine clever punters in the business were given arrangements with bookies to get on a fair amount for themselves I am convinced that the volume of sharp money would be a fraction of what it is now.  I fully admit that there are people that I share my knowledge/bets with because they help me get on and vice versa.  If we could all get on on our own then I wouldn't be betting their business and nor them betting mine.  It would at least half the volume already!!!

...really? Maybe it's just the ones I know, but they're generally paid ~30k.

For example.

The Asian handicap total goal line was 1.75 choice in the Libya v Equitorial New Guinea game in the African Cup of Nations.

That means there was a very low expectation of goals in the game.

The price for 0-0 should have been around 9/2. On the opening show Stan James, Coral and Hills went 7/1.

If they had laid me a bet, I would probably have had £100 with each of them and been happy.

Instead, I rounded up the troops and ended up with £1500 on the game finishing goalless. (plus the troops must have had something on for themselves)

No logic from the yellow bastards.
