🎧SBC Podcast #76 – Betting Clever: Smart-Bash, The Gambling Commission & Golf Betting (Variance Cuts Both Ways)🎧

Posted on by Josh P

In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by SBC’s Josh as the Betting Clever podcast returns to tackle a whole host of important topics in the betting world.

Smart-Bash was hosted at Stamford Bridge a few weeks ago so we start with that – what was it like? What did we get from it? What could be improved? Who should have been there?

The Gambling Commission are on the agenda (again!) and their new survey methodology doesn’t look like it will be good news for punters – we explain why.

In addition, we touch on golf betting, Twitter/X, The Racing Blogger’s Betslips and some SBC services that are suitable for every bettor – especially those looking for options away from ‘soft bookmakers’

You can listen to Episode 76 now via Apple / Spotify / YouTube and all other major podcast directories (search Smart Betting Club)

 

As ever, if you have any topics or areas of the gambling world that you would like us to discuss, please get in touch!

Enjoy!

🎧SBC Podcast #65: Flawed Big Name Tipsters, BetMGM’s Value Boosts, Unbelievable ‘Inside Info’ & Using Chasing Steamers

Posted on by Josh P

In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by SBC’s Josh as the Betting Clever podcast returns to tackle a whole host of important topics in the betting world.

We get into what’s going on with affordability checks, why we don’t think much to the petition about it and the reality of using the black market and its growth. We also touch on the Tony Calvin ‘furore’ and the real issues with free tip columns like his, how to take advantage of Bet MGM’s deep pockets and some of the ongoing work we are doing reporting on tipsters.

One tipster of note, which has already attracted a range of questions due to an 88% ROI headline & claims of using ‘inside information’ is something that we cover in depth. This gives listeners an insight to how we approach new services, what we look out for and how we are collectively quite cynical!

There is much more besides in the podcast linked up below and we have provided some timestamps underneath so that you can skip to different parts of interest.

Betting Clever Podcast & Video – Tom Brownlee joins to talk football betting & more

Posted on by Peter Ling

At SBC we’re all about betting clever.

Our brand new podcast series is based on that ethos and it aims to bring you the very best winning betting content from real-life professionals making a living in the industry.

The 2nd episode in this series is out now and features special guest and professional bettor Tom Brownlee.

Tom is owner and founder of the advantage play site Bookie Bashing and is one of the sharpest minds in the professional betting space.

I get the chance to quiz Tom about some really interesting topics including…

  • How Tom bets on football to try and make a profitable edge.
  • The Bookie Bashing football coupon strategy that involves betting in bookmaker shops – this is a good one!
  • Withdrawal strategies – Tom provides some valuable insight into the minefield that is withdrawing your winnings from the bookies.

Tom, as always, is great value and I’m sure there’s plenty of content here that can help inspire your betting in some way. As well as listening to this podcast via all the usual channels, you can also watch Tom and I on YouTube for the first time!
