In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by a guest that I have been chasing and cajoling for for a long, long time!
Matthew Trenhaile (or ‘Trench’) has worked in various roles within the industry for operators such as Mustard Bet and most recently, Pinnacle.
Alongside this, he has compiled odds for several sports, worked at spread firms (in both betting and finance) and developed an insight into the betting ecosystem that few possess.
Trench’s newest venture is a consultancy, Anubis Trading, and with the launch of his own business, he has been on somewhat of a ‘whistlestop tour’ of leading podcasts in Europe, North America and South America.
With that in mind, we did something a bit different for his appearance on the SBC Podcast, with an ‘Ask Me Anything’ special where you, the audience, posed questions.
Those questions and Trench’s answers can be found below with everything from sharp bookmaking, tipsters, moral questions and even ice cream covered. Enjoy!

In this chat, Matthew and I talk about:
- 97% lose – why do sportsbooks limit winners?
- Why has Pinnacle not been imitated?
- Pinnacle never restrict – or do they?
- What does the future look like for crypto books?
- Polymarket – what does Trench think?
- Who is shaping the UK & Irish horse racing markets?
- Steam Chasing
- BSP betting – skill or variance? How do we assess this?
- What are the best edges Trench has ever seen?
- The best ever bettor in Trench’s opinion?
- Why isn’t Matthew a pro gambler?
- Racing punting and sharing picks publicly!
- Using tipsters
- The morality of the betting industry
- Tips for a 20-year-old starting out
- 5/2 on a coin toss – how much is Trench having on?
- Ice cream discussion
- Anubis Trading and where to find Matthew
This will no doubt be one of our most popular ever podcasts and the fact that it went well over an hour (whilst feeling like a lot less!) demonstrates how much we talked about!
Matthew mentions a topic very close to your collective hearts as SBC Members and followers during the chat and a follow up may be a lot sooner than you think. I will let you know when that’s set up – in the meantime, enjoy the show!
