British Forum BETTING thread

Did you not have to do all the drivers licence stuff to deposit with that? All that put me off using a card so I just use PayPal

 

unfortantly its becoming all to common they cleverly describe it as kyc(know your customer) they ask you to provide a copy of debit card used to deposit passport or driving licence and a statement from the card used.
all it is is a stalling tactic to prevent you from getting your money straight away as imo if they were that bothered they would carry out these checks when you joined as they dont seem to mind you depositing but not withdrawing.
all american sportsbooks require this now as well.

 

I didn't find betfair particularly helpful either, when I first attempted to withdraw funds. Had that whole rigeramole with passport/driver's license/utility bill etc with an Aussie bookies I joined in the summer. Was IASbet, and they had a pretty decent offer on, whereby you bet £25 and got a free £50 bet... Ended up having to scan all these documents, take them to the post office for official verification and send them through to the tossers before I could access the free bet - money laundering regs, apparently. Fortunately I stuck it on Spain for the WC, but even then they had a double rollover requirement before you could get any money out. Ended up taking £700 off the ****ers, and I'll never use them again - very poor customer services department - avoid...

 

Chelsea - 3 at 9/2 is tempting. Wigan were completely decimated by Blackpool of all teams & I doubt Martinez will do much in that space of time to improve them

 

When I say matched betting basically using a excahnge like betfair and taking advantage of all the free bets of all the bookmakers, my mate has just done the rounds of all the bookies and cashed in £1800 there is basically no risk of loosing other than human error he has spreadsheets calculaters etc etc.

I did my first one on monday, I opened a Will Hill Phone account they were offering free £50 single bet aslong as you put a £20 single on.

So I basically backed United to beat Toon at 2/9 for my £20.00 then layed them off on Betfair for 1.26.

So from that I am 76p down, but I now have my free £50.00 bet now I backed the draw/draw in the Spurs game at 5/1 and got layed the same outcome for exactly the same price ( doesn't need to be the same price exactly to lay for this to work ) I layed for £42.02.

Now I can't loose I will be cashing out £39.92 which is 79.83% of the £50.00 bonus, I am gonna try and make sure I take advantage of at least 70% of each bonus, I have set myself the target to do as many bookies as possible by the end of September and see how much I can make, hopefully close to £2000 with no risk whatsoever.

With this all you need is a healthy bankroll and an eye for detail make sure you make no silly mistakes other than that it is pretty much free money.

That above is the callculater which tells you what you need to lay when you are placing your free bet. Hope that is quite clear, if anyone want's more details PM me, but like I say it's basically free money and it is 100% legal.

 

Choker and worst work ethic going, I remmeber seeing the guy beat an Argentine called Squillari who at the time was a top 50 player at the Monte Carlo masters as a 15 year old, I thought wow we have a ****ing gem on our hands here!! How wrong I was.

 

Wigan's form last season was just plain weird - they got regularly battered, but also managed to pull off some seriously impressive results at home ( Chelsea, Arsenal)

 

You're asking too much with that big a hcp away from home. There is a distinct possiblity it will happen but Wigan have to improve on last week's showing. Remember also that, despite being ****, Wigan beat Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool at home last year. Also Chelsea only covered this handicap twice away from home last year (vs Pompey and Bolton) and Wigan only got thumped by 4 or more once at home (vs Man Utd).

 

yeah Bet365 do this now as well. I wondered what KYC was.

 

Don't fancy Villa tonight after seeing we've left Young, Young and Petrov at home. Plus we've got a few injuries.

Think I'm going to just go with a Liverpool/Citeh double.

 

dnt know why but iv got a real funny feeling city are gunna **** this one up, well im probly hoping too much more than anything

 

deciding on a liverpool/man city double or a liverpool/celtic double. anyone want to make a pick for me?
might put juventus in a small single too.

 

Go with Celtic mate- just got a feeling its more likely tonight. Hope it goes well mate!

 

cheers, went with celtic hope it works out i'm not doing so hot with the doubles lately.
