Episode 69: Betting Clever With Pete & Josh. Social Media Tipster Danger & The Rise Of Matchbook
Discussed: Social Media Affiliates & Booming ‘Tipsters’, Free SBC Account Longevity Service, Golf Betting & Bet Broker Discussion PLUS An Exclusive Interview with the Head of Exchange at Matchbook.
Betting Clever episode 69 features both Pete and Josh from SBC and is split into two parts, with ‘gambling chat’ making up Part 1 and a Q & A with the Head of Exchange at Matchbook, Ronan McDonagh, making up Part 2.
Part 1 starts with Pete and Josh discussing our gambling plans for 2024, before we move on to explore the perils of betting social media after being alerted to some strange goings on with some of Flutter’s affiliates.
Andy Robson Tips is one of many affiliate tipsters who likes to present himself as a regular guy looking to make his followers a few quid. We ask ‘Is this really a man called Andy?’, ‘Is he really a one man band who makes very impressive (looking) ‘cheat sheets’ to beat the bookies? ‘Is he really providing well researched +EV tips?’.
We believe there is a lot more than meets the eye here and would like to see Flutter answer some of the most basic questions about what is going on and the nature of the relationship between Andy Robson’s very successful parent company – Fanwave Digital and the bookmakers they promote.
Next, we unpack the weird and wonderful world of social media tipsters, with selfie sticks, BOOMs and absent records all on the agenda. Some of these characters would have you believe that they are perennial winners a la Patrick Veitch – we unpick what they are really up to.
We also touch on our brand new SBC Free Tipster, Account Agent. This service is designed to prolong bookmaker accounts using a three-pronged approach. It doesn’t guarantee ‘immortal’ betting accounts, but these strategies are proven to keep you away from the ‘eye in the sky’ at bookmakers’ HQs!
Golf betting has not treated us kindly so far in 2024. We reflect on a run of seconds before introducing Golf Betting Club, our brand new Premium Service with an in-play specialism that marks Duncan and Neil, the brothers who run the service, apart from the crowd.
We also touch on Bet Brokers and Pete’s use of them to get money down with exchanges and sharp bookmakers alike. This market is growing and we plan to cover developments over the coming weeks and months!
In ‘Part 2’ of this podcast we are joined by Ronan McDonagh, Head of Exchange at Matchbook.
Matchbook are looking to expand and wrestle market share away from the dominant exchange. We talk about how they are doing this, their plans for the future and how they are targeting specific markets.
We also quiz Ronan on the topics that we feel that you, as smart bettors, will want answered. How they treat winners; commission rates; prices; liquidity; additional features not traditionally found on exchanges – we talk about all of them!
To top our chat with Matchbook off, we also have an exclusive offer for anyone who wants it – 150 days on the Matchbook platform, commission free! The link to obtain this offer is detailed below.
The goal of this podcast is to help you with your betting and to provide insight, opinions and expertise that you may not find elsewhere (we even throw in some bad jokes!). Enjoy!
