SBC Podcast #50: Craig Edwards – Pro Snooker Player Turned Expert Bettor & Tipster

Posted on by Peter Ling

In the latest Smart Betting Club Podcast Episode, I was joined by former professional snooker player turned successful tipster and punter, Craig Edwards.

Craig has used his snooker expertise to beat the bookmakers for decades whilst also developing a profitable golf strategy along the way.

Being a former professional sportsman, he looks at markets slightly differently and in our chat he shares some insights that can improve any punter’s betting!

Independent Bookmakers Guide

Posted on by Peter Ling

Account restrictions and limits are more common than ever. Beat a price or profit enough and the well-advertised ‘Oddschecker firms’ will often reduce maximum stakes to pennies or stop you betting altogether.

This can be disheartening, but there are alternatives to the big bookmakers and exchanges in the form of smaller, independent bookmakers and on this page, you can explore some of the information we have collated on just a few of the firms out there.

Many of these bookmakers are experienced layers, fully licensed and with years of history behind them, yet perhaps not the marketing budgets or presence of the likes of Bet365, Betfair and their ilk.

Although you may not get all of the frills that are widely advertised by the big Oddschecker bookmakers, many independents offer concessions and special incentives such as sign up offers, extra place races, Best Odds Guaranteed, fallers insurance, daily boosts and cashback on any monthly losses.

SBC Podcast #48: Simon Nott – A lifetime in Betting and Bookmaking Explored

Posted on by Peter Ling

For the latest SBC Podcast and a festive special, I had a guest with a difference and a man more used to asking the questions than answering them – Simon Nott.

Simon is perhaps best known for his #BettingPeople interview series (I was a guest earlier this year) but his expertise does not end there! He is a fountain of knowledge; punting, writing, bookmaking, blogging, publishing, broadcasting – he’s done it all!

Simon was a brilliant guest and his enthusiasm shone through during all of the topics we discussed. As well as having enough anecdotes to fill 10 podcasts, his wealth of experience in the betting world provided so many valuable insights. He is also one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet so definitely go and say hello if you see him on course!

Posted on by Peter Ling

In this week’s Smart Betting Club Podcast I am joined by professional horse racing punter and the brains behind the ‘Learn Bet Win’ racing service, Declan Meagher.

Declan’s experience of professional punting spans 20 years and I had the pleasure of tapping into his wealth of knowledge to talk about how he beats both the bookmakers and the exchanges to make betting pay.

Betting Tools: VPN’s, VPS’s, Virtual Machines & More With Neel Shah

Posted on by Peter Ling

This week’s SBC Podcast is the second part in our series that focuses on how bookmakers collect and use your data, plus the tools, software and resources to help you as a smart bettor.

We talk about:

Virtual Private Networks (or VPNs) – how they work, the advantages, the limitations and what to look for when purchasing them
Virtual Private Servers (or VPSs) – how they are different from VPNs, who they are most likely to benefit and how they mask your personal data
Proxifiers – how you can enhance your technology (and confuse the bookmakers further!) by using additional IP addresses
Virtual Machines – how you can ‘build a computer within your computer’, why this can be useful and how it can be limited by your computer’s power

& More!

SBC Podcast #45: Bookmaker profiling and data collection / What you need to know as a smart bettor

Posted on by Peter Ling

This week’s SBC podcast episode is the first of a two-part series that focuses on how bookmakers collect data and profile customers.

You can listen to episode 45 now via Apple / Spotify / Google and all other major podcast directories (search Smart Betting Club)

With stories of withheld winnings, altered odds, intrusive personal checks, closed accounts and voided ante post bets all being reported by punters in the last few weeks alone, it is fair to say that trust and goodwill towards bookmakers is at an all time low.

Unfortunately, we may be at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their use of your data.
