How to Avoid Betting Scams From Bookies

As more of us branch out into the digital betting world, it is important to be aware about corrupt bookies sites whose intentions are to allure you into their trap with massively inflated odds and by putting all the hidden catches within the small print of their terms & conditions. There are a few ways to recognise betting scams from bookies however, seen below are some factors that you should consider before clicking any betting links or downloading any fishy betting apps.

Inflated Sign Up Offers

The way that the majority of these bookies draw in customers is through stupidly increased odds. If you are someone that sees this, maybe on a Facebook add, and it says ‘1000/1’ odds on really probable outcomes then this is a red flag. These sign up offers will be posted in bold writing to try and catch the eye of some customers. What the companies do not promote however is that the winnings of the bet are in ‘free bets’ and so this forces the customers hand to keep on betting with them. They could also be hidden fees in withdrawing any funds that you win, ensuring these bookies take quite a large sum of your money.

Only Use Licensed Betting Sites

This one should be a no-brainer, yet some people still are drawn in by huge odds to foreign- looking sites that are intended to steal your money. Before signing up to any bookies site online, you should first check to see if they are licensed and listed on the official UK Gambling Commission website. If they are not then you should immediately back away from them as they are likely to partake in betting scams. You should be able to trust all regulated sites that are listed on that website, however you should still do a bit of research as you can never be too safe online.

Ask Other Users

Now, a lot of bookies sites online that you see are all commissioned and approved to where you can feel safe to open an account with. It is still important that you consult with others online though, if you are signing up for certain bookies that no one else seems to have used, you could be exposed to betting scams. You should ask on betting forums and others online to see if they are familiar with the bookies you are interested in. If they give you negative feedback on it then you should probably stay away as to avoid betting scams.

Check Through The T&C’s

As it has already been referred to, the terms & conditions or T&C’s, can hide many different catches and variables within a bookies and most people will tend to just skip through.  Although the bookies are legally obliged to reveal these details, they either ensure they are in the smallest print possible or deep within the T&C’s where they are aware that hardly anyone will see it. These betting scams are getting smarter each year so again, make sure if you do read through them before putting major money into your account as they could freeze or block your account and steal your money.

Best Bookies for Arbitrage Betting? Image

Best Arbitrage Friendly Bookies in 2017

Best Arbitrage Friendly Bookies in 2017

Here's the transcript
hi guys Max here from betslayer with a really cool video on the best bookies for arbitrage, now this is foundational fundamental to everything we do in arbitrage betting and I've just put my two cents in on which bookmakers I use the people that use betslayer use the most and just a bit of an explanation about Sharp and soft bookies. I'll jump straight in but this is going to be a very useful video so make sure you watch until the end and as ever please take a moment to subscribe like the video and leave a comment below it really helps me out and I really appreciate it. Anyway let'sjump straight in there are a number of arbitrage friendly bookmakers out there which will never live limit you there are also bookmakers for arbitrage who will limit you that provide some of the best odds and they're actually more lenient than most,and this article I will go over the best bookmakers for sports arbitrage betting and explain some of the reasons why the first thing to consider when choosing a bookmaker is, is it a sharp or soft bookmaker. Now what does that mean? Okay Sharp bookmakers like pinnacle have automatic odds movement and rapid response to movements in the market the odds are generally less competitive compared to soft bookmakers for this reason, but many sharp bookmakers like pinnacle will never limit you so they're an extremely useful type of bookmaker to have if you are just using Sharp bookies in arbitrage you would have extremely limited opportunities and the arbs would probably rarely go over 1% ROI but don't sweat that's why we have soft bookies and competitive rate exchanges. So here are the best Sharp bookmakers for arbitrage: Pinnacle 3ET,SBObet which is Asian Handicap betting which is a subject for another video.Bet365 188bet these guys have you know competitive odds but still will maybe eventually limit you 188Bet used to be a bit better. Bet365 is one of the best pinnacle I'd say is the best bookmaker for arbitrage just because they'll never limit you you can have really high betting stakes and it just works. 3et is a bit newer you need to apply to get an account there but I think that you know that they're very similar to soft bookmakers like Bwin are useful because unlike sharp bookies their odds are changed manually usually by a trader this means odds might be substantially different between these bookies meaning there are lots of opportunities for big arbitrage so here are the best soft bookmakers for arbitrage they're rated by you know how long they keep your accounts open and you know usually wanna if you're using a soft cookie to make sure they're a big bookie because they're more likely to play by the rules and and not mess you around with with withdrawals and things like that William Hill, bwin Coral, marathon bet, Ladbrokes was on that list up at this point but recently we've been getting lots of complaints about their doing some stuff but I think Ladbrokes is still okay I use them. So why are betting exchanges useful for arbitrage? betting exchanges are like an online marketplace with punters to bet against themselves on sporting events around the world customers bet against each other not the exchange and that's how the odds are calculated the exchange just takes a commission of you know 1 to 5 percent,they're useful because they'll never limit you because their odds aren't manipulated by traders it means there can be great opportunities for arbitrage especially because you can lay a bet. ie bet against every outcome apart from winning which means there's fewer bets to place in order to cover all outcomes to make a profit many people see great results from arbing a soft bookie against an exchange or sharp bookie so Smarkets, MatchBook I think they do 1 percent commission, Betfair's the biggest exchange in the world so they're up to 5 percent BetDAQ think that's about 2% and and those are basically what you need to know about bookmaker arbitrage to do with soft bookie, sharp bookies, exchanges if you have any comments or questions leave a comment in the description box again please subscribe it really helps me continue to make videos for you guys like this and good luck with your arbitrage betting.

 Cheers.

How to never get limited by the bookies (Arbitrage Betting)

How to never get limited by the
bookies (Arbitrage Betting)

In this post I will go over the 15-steps to never getting limited by the bookmakers ever again. Follow this closely and you'll have risk-free profits from arbitrage betting for years.

  • Avoid long-term arbs - events that will happen or end in more than a week.
  • Load your deposits steadily ie. Don’t deposit hundreds and hundreds of pounds in one go.
  • Do not withdraw 100% of your funds immediately after a bet settles.
  • Have a static IP ie. Don’t login on your mates laptop.
  • Keep stakes well below betting limits, below £100 is a good place to start.
  • Don’t bet on Arbs that have over 10% ROI. This is because it could indicate a palpable error which would mean your bet gets rejected.
  • Don’t bet all the time on obscure markets like Russian Premier League or challenger tennis.
  • Keep track of which bookies you are winning money with, and which you are losing with in a spreadsheet. Consider mug betting a small percentage of winnings with the losing bookmaker to keep them happy.
  • Stake whole numbers (£55, not £53,37)
  • Avoid unusual patterns like betting at 2AM at night, in general it’s best to mix it up and bet on lots of events and markets.
  • Don’t use same username at every bookmaker to avoid being tracked.
  • Don’t withdraw all your funds in one go and in general don’t withdraw unless you need to.
  • Small stakes trading. This will eliminate the biggest problem which creates all the other problems, and that is inexperience. If you start trading with small stakes, you will gain experience and any error from your side won't bring you a major loss. Ie. opening bookies window next to each other before locking in a bet and making sure the market is still available before betting.
  • Use an e-wallet like Skrill or Neteller - You need to be able to move funds from each Arbing bookmakers quickly and if you use any other method it takes 3-5 days rather than 12-24 hours, this makes things far less frustrating!
  • Never place 2 bets on a single event on the same bookmaker ie. Loss & draw on one bookie & win on the other.

So now you know how to never get limited by the bookies, comment below if you have any questions!
