Online betting has grown massively in recent years, but how you ‘deposit’ and ‘withdraw’ funds can often be complicated and extremely frustrating, even at some of the big name bookmakers.

Not only this, but if you use your debit or credit card to deposit funds, then you often find:

• Large transaction fees for depositing with certain credit or debit cards
• Lots of hoops to jump though in verifying your bank details
• Delays in your funds reaching your account
• It makes a real mess of your bank statement (lots of ins and outs)
• No way of separating your betting from your everyday banking activity

That last point is crucial and is the reason why a large proportion of gamblers  set-up new bank accounts solely for betting purposes.  Being able to manage your finances and having visibility of all your betting transactions in one place is a ‘must’ for any punter.

Skrill Great For Betting Accounts

The good news is that a tried and trusted solution to all these problems is available in the form of a company called Skrill (formerly called Moneybookers) who offer a one-stop, easy solution for gamblers. Continue reading →

If you are like me then every once in a while you will receive emails and mail shots from wannabe ‘tipsters’ offering the chance to follow their betting advice and pick up ‘guaranteed winners’. Often it goes along the likes of, “If I send you one tip that I guarantee will win, will you then pay me £50 to send you another’?

Thankfully, I am wise to these scams (as hopefully are many of you) with them often exposed on the SBC Forum for what they are, but it’s easy to understand the appeal of a guaranteed winner. They might come from a ‘well connected source’ who gives you a nod and wink and sounds convincing. After all, we all love the idea of knowing something that others don’t.

But in betting, there are never ‘guaranteed winners’.

Here are some examples of ‘when guaranteed winners go wrong’:

• Reading V Arsenal & Germany V Sweden: Both Reading and Germany were 4-0 up and cruising to victory against their opponents recently, until conceding a whole host of goals to both lose and draw their games respectively. There were huge sums of money backing both Reading and Germany at 1.01 ‘in-play’ when 4-0 up and those that did so must have lost a small fortune.
• Senegal beating France in 2002. Massively against the odds, Senegal shocked the world by beating France in the 2002 World cup. I know of at least one person who lost thousands on that match betting on the ‘sure thing’ of a French victory.
• Horses trading at 1.01 on Betfair…only to lose: Every week (and sometimes every day) a horse will be miles in front only to fall at the final hurdle. Anyone backing the sure thing at 1.01 looking for free money can often end up with egg on their face. Check out this site for stats on 1.01 losers a in 2011 alone, a total of £2.258.695,16 was matched on them to win…and duly lost!
