I ended up just going with a home setup.

I am fairly certain that a regular australian VPS would be fine, I think worrying about IP addresses that originate from a data center is probably a bit of paranoia.

I’m pretty much gubbed everywhere, but I just use anydesk. I like to have two monitors, betfair open on one, bookies open on the other…

With more experience I became partial to a no lay strategy and started just using my mobile on days that I was at work. But when matching I find it much easier having everything setup nicely in tabs and dual monitors etc…

Can you describe what happened/how you got burned?

I’d prefer the same didnt happen to me 🙂

I have notice crow…beteasy cause there website is slow it fairly often changes the odds late after you’ve clicked your bet sort of thing….I haven’t been burned by that yet…but I could see that happening….

Thanks willie!

lol, well so far its working I think…I just wonder if I am doing it wrong, because everyone else seems to do it the back first way too….

But brain keeps saying to me…exchange moves faster than bookie…

I can only think there is something I do not know 🙂

Yeah, I been doing purely beteasy and sportsbet through the week…with about the same profits as you 🙂 Pays for lunch!

Neds I do intermitantly, thier bonuses are a bit paltry tho…and I hate that some of them you have to use up on a particular event. It’s too hard when one isn’t sitting at a computer 24hours a day….

Pointsbet bonus baned me. Bastards! 🙂 I signed up at bonusbank a few weeks back (using richards affiliate link)….and the consensus there is that pointsbet will pretty much gub everyone real quick….

So…it could be your last week at pointsbet my friied 🙂 I am terribly bummed to miss it tho…

But yeah, I think the gamblers fallacy is pretty much a reality, so…I doubt this would work in practice… 🙂

Basically one technique I was plotting was…say with horses. Lets take sportsbets dailiy races 1-3 (victorian track)…

If the favorite wins in all three of those bonus bet races, the odds of the favorite winning in race 4 are decreased. (Depending on if you believe in the gamblers fallacy)…it would statistically be more likely for the favorite not to win and my money end up in the exchange. Plus having the bonus of a mug bet…

Hypothetically, say odds of 2 for all favorites. The chances of them winning 4 times in a row is 1 in 16 (I think)…

Anyway…something like that is what I am thinking about….

Heya Willie, nah, I don’t mean a pure martindale as such. One can never win that way, statistically, the losing streak will come and you lose all that you have made (and more)…

I just mean doubling up matched bets…i.e. until it all lands at the exchange…(I would take a qualifying loss until it ended in the exchange)…but doing that suffers the same statistical problem a regular martindale bet…(eventually I will hit a streak of loses and all my money will end up back in the bookies)

Maybe I am unlucky, but I have found most of my money has been trending towards landing in the bookies?

Martindale just means double your bet every time. All the roulette and casino crowd are into ‘systems’ like that.

Basically if you have deep pockets you can never lose except for on massive losing streaks…they are useful to know..but dont help in the long run … google them…

Hello there,

I did it under my wifes name also, way back 6 months ago when luxbet were around. Some bookies allow it, some do not.

In my instance, Luxbet actually did a call to her mobile and she didn’t know what to say 🙂 Short strory, shorter, I ended up getting bonus banned from both accounts. That caused some friction 😐

I am no lawyer, but I think unless she is the one pressing the buttons….It is also technically fraud and also against the bookies terms of service without prior written consent.

i.e. I wouldnt recommend doing it.

in reply to: Withdrawal amounts? #3413

I have been contemplating this also. I am about to make a new thread similar but related…

My understanding is that many gambeling people have 1000’s of dollars in their accounts and that is a fairly average withdrawel amongst normal betting types…..(this is just second hand information I’ve read elsewhere)

I reckon if its a first withdrawal they are more likely to look closely at your account…(they have laundering laws to follow, etc) ….

in reply to: Weekly Profits For Matched Bettors! #3349

Yeah I reckon in the end, more profitable to have both…plus I still remember that guy they used for their tv adds 🙂 I dunno why, but he’s stuck in there….Mr ponting I think doesn’t quiet have the air of superiority…

The $100 bonus was a nice thought 🙂 Bookies might be nice people after all 🙂

Williamhill did 2nd, third or forth at doombin, that got me a few I think….that was a goodn…

Hard part with racing I reckons is getting a good gap in the odds!

[john.bookie]

in reply to: Weekly Profits For Matched Bettors! #3326

Yeah man, still at the horses. I havent done my sums yet, but I think I am around $200 @ horses on saturday….

Started off poorly…rosehill was no good! Came good at the end tho…

in reply to: What does take SP mean on betfair open bets? #3305

Bad 🙂

… and the reason I asked this question really…I f’d up at the start of the week doing something silly…

I had to go out and I couldnt be there for the start of the race….so I figured…yeah, I’ll just guess the odds at betfair, push it back a bit, yeah, she’ll be dandy…it’ll get matched….

Nup 🙂 It didn’t get matched…Did it on a few races and lucky didn’t go my way…..so I might break even this week (minus my labours that is)

Live and learn
