I am actually barred from loads of sites, usually because of my American football bets but I NEVER TOUCH THE GEE GEES. Mugs game. The secret to a successful betting coup is to spread your bets all over the place and don't be greedy. Also have a relationship with your bookie also helps.

I am usefull to them as well as a winner.I can shift odds into their favour by punting so it limits their liabilities on payouts. People think the bookies can offer whatever odds they want, they cant, the gambling commission can investigate them for massaging odds and steamer bets if they want to so bookies odds are generally decided upon by volume of money invested.

If they have a liability on say Joel at say 1/2 and I hit them with £2000, they can drop his odds to 1/5 and don't b=need to take £3 or £4000 more on him at 1/2.

Small bets don't shift odds, big ones do and small bets under £50 are not monitored so 300 bets at £49 cant shift an odds market but in total 300 x £49 is a liability of a £14,700 wager that they cant control. My £2000 bet moves mountains so why are they nice to me, because I save them money as well as winning it.
