Hey Neil / Joe

Quick question. With your Premier League 'Overs' recommends, I understand you have a trusted computer programme that must suggest to you what the true price should be for each game (correct me if I'm wrong).

What I don't understand is why you always put up 'Overs' bets and never the 'Unders', surely it must consider the market wrong in the other direction sometimes to make the 'Unders' a bet?

We have been asked this question many times. We have crunched significant amounts of data and it does show a small profit doing the opposite and betting unders. Over 5 seasons it shows a profitable ROI of about 0.4%. If we get more time we will look deeper and spend more time on it. We could find more bets for sure but for the time being we are just picking out, what we believe, to be the most profitable ones.

 Quite excited about the NFL this week. Few I really like. Have just sent the early thoughts.

Hi Omm,

We are slowly adding more affiliates to Bettingemporium but we haven't got around to the Spread firms yet. It won't happen until the new year at least now.

Thank you for thinking of us.

Cheers,

Joe

 Just in case anyone was wondering how we plan to approach the NFL play-offs I have put a short essay with an outright tip up and I plan to write something about the two Saturday games this week and next that will appear at around 3pm Saturday. At 5pm I'll suggest any bets I fancy. I'll do the same again on Sunday.

We have just posted a free preview of Superbowl XLVIII and also a calendar for events that we intend to cover over the coming months.

Royal Ascot missing?

 Good spot Keith.

 By the way we have our new guy Ian posting football now and I just had my first ever Turkish super league winner after a Portugese 2nd division and something from Finland.

 Joe has followed Ian for a couple of years and we all know how much he values a pound note.

 The stuff is free but you have to register.

Great show on Sky Neil. Really enjoy it. I really wish they had you on more times. I don't know if that depends on you or them though. ;-)

You mentioned some Caribbean bookies during the show. Apart from Pinnacle, can you name some others that offer better odds than most UK bookies?

 Hi Horsey,

 Planning to put some things up on Saturday and more on Sunday.

 Saturday is always a bit mental so I guess I'll do it late afternoon. Sunday I plan to have something up at 3pm and final words at 5pm.

 Cheers Greeky. I'll have a go at your question a bit later.

Morning Greeky.

Seeing as you made that point (enboldened), I'll expand on it slightly.

When we have Guests, either for the poker, or betting Preview Shows, the Guests do NOT get paid. They just get their travelling expenses, &, if they travel from afar, a hotel room for the night.

Additionally, & this was quite a tough spot for Neil last night, they can ONLY promote Sky Bet Markets, for obvious reasons. Quite a tough spot, really.

He was also only allowed the briefest 15 or 20 seconds to spam Betting Emporium. There are reasons for that, & I understand them, but it's worth you & others being aware.

I've had several of my friends on as Guests in these situations, Tighty has been on several times, for instance, & these rules apply to them all.  I wanted Phil on (Bobby1) for our US Masters & Cheltenham Betting Shows last year, for example, but commercial conflicts of interest got in the way.

I must add that I'm very good friends with Mr Camel, & respect his judgement muchly, but I've never invited him on a Sky Bet financed Show. I'm not wholly convinced he would accept.........

Thanks for the reply TK.

I know that guests don't get paid so I think it definitely depends on them if they want to appear for 3-4 hours on the TV and I also believe that most of the guests come due to the fact that they honour your friendship. Well if Orford was the presenter I doubt Neil will have joined you so spot on for picking the eight presenter for that show.

I also understand how hard it is to promote Skybet and personally think it should be allowed to Neil (or any other guy that offers a betting service) to "spam" a minute or two about that. You know it could be like sky's sort of saying welcome for being on the show. Also BE is not like a direct competitor of Sky (not like Blackbelt) so I think a spam should be allowed.

I believe the quality of the betting previews has been very good so looking forward to watching some more in the future.
