Keep in mind many bookies use IEsnare software too.
That's very interesting, I had never heard about IEsnare before, googled it and there is plenty of info on it too, need to check my own machine.
Bookies want mugs as customers, not people who seem to know what they are doing. Internet betting is a double edged sword, if you are fast you can react to something quickly but the bookies can track everything you do and restrict you easily.
I'm always thinking of angles of to beat this. For example 2 weeks ago a friend sent on a 'tip' on a horse. He got it at 33/1 and it came second, he placed his first ever horse racing bet on Betway on this horse, only using Betway for football before and after this race he was told he would no longer be eligible for Best Odds Guaranteed on horse racing. That is after one semi-successful bet.
It's ridiculous.
So in our game of Cat and Mouse with the bookie the only way I can see around this was to not use an online account and instead sprint
However even if you live very close to a bookies that 33/1 would probably be gone. You would also have to probably use 'under-the-radar' stakes, maybe 20 e/w, as well to ensure you could do it long(ish) term.
Also just look at the amount of betting advertising on TV in the UK/Ire, first you have the volume of it, and secondly I notice how centred on acca's a lot of it is. The reason being these are the most profitable for the bookie.
Skybet are even combining it with social media now where your friends all put up their selections in a group and then you pick. Acca's make bookies a lot of money, they are the customers they want, not the shrewd ones.
