I'm sure you're interested in how and where can you find fixed matches you can bet on. This is a bit like treasure hunting because it needs quite a lot of searching day-to-day. Firstly, most of the betting sites remove these matches. It took us a long time while we collected all possible signs that may indicate that the match is fixed.

 
Identification of fixed matches:

1 - Follow the Serie A, South American, Asian and European minor chapionships'  II.-III.  leagues from day-to-day

 
2 - Where the multiplier of draw (X) is less than 2.0x than it's worth to check several times a day

 
3 - The reason why a multiplier can be so low are the secret asian and european betting syndicates who bet on X with shitloads of money.

4 - Check the 'asian handicap' market of the particular match, if it's '0' it will also support the suspicion of being fixed, if it's not '0' do not bet on that match.

 
5 - If the listed teams have already dropped out or have no chance, low-budget or the result doesn't matter for them

 
6 -  If most of the betting sites have already removed the game from the offers

 
7 - Bwin and Sportingbet remove these games in general, so if they don't offer the particular match, then it is in favor of being fixed match.

In the last season of the Serie A the last rounds were full of fixed matches. These were not paying so well like the ones we found (insider informations), but at least were available for anyone to bet on who recognized them.

 
One of the suspicious matches was the Bologna-Parma where the odds of X reduced to 1.3x (normally minimum 2.5x). In addition both teams had fixed places for the next Serie A already, so they did not have anything to fight for. I will never forget that game. I was watching live and laughing because neither team shot on target almost the entire match. Of course it could have been a coincidence also.

 
We won also on matches Cesena-Brescia(1) 1,25x and Udine Milan(x) 1,7x, the multipliers indicated in both cases suspicion of being a fixed match.

 
I think its scandalous that Serie A teams play obviously fixed matches. By the way I never bet on italian matches except it is fixed, but in that case every time!

 
IMPORTANT - Because there is no safe bet, bet only considerately, because anything can happen at any time in the world of football betting.

The day started as any other, I received the list of my matches for that day, changed Joe at the displays and started working. I had to monitor the U-21 national team matches and everything was looking normal until bets for more than 4.5 goals started flooding at the match of an Eastern European team. I checked the teams and there wasn't any reason to bet on that match with so many high stakes.

 
I told Peter I had to go to the toilet and asked to substitute me for a couple of minutes and I winked. He got the message. When I came back I handed him a note with the infos about the match and the stakes, then he asked me to substitute him for two minutes what I did with pleasure. The match started soon and I watched it excitedly. After 20 minutes it was still 0-0 and I almost started to swet when the teams started to score, by the end of the first half it was 2-1 to the home team.  I calmed down a bit. It was weird because I did not feel that even one of the three goals were fake, anyway I didn't care.

 
In the 25th minute of the second half it was already 4-1, I felt relieved. The final result was 5-2 so Peter and I celebrated that night and agreed on sharing the infos about fixed matches in the future and earning a fortune.

 
In the next month we found seven fixed matches of which we could bet on only four, one of our bets was cancelled by the sports betting company without any explanation. These were really nice days, we were living like kings. Parties, girls and even more parties.....  Or we were living like stock brokers, after all we were also brokers just not working on the stock market but on safer one....

 
After a point we decided to start an even more serious project and earn really big. I had to apply for a 'whale manager'  (communicating with the customers who loose big money)position, 'make friends' with the customers and sell some useful tips and informations for good money what they could use for placing bets at other sports gambling sites.

 
I started looking for the my position immediately but it was not too easy as it turned out later.  Months passed and nothing  happened, I started to give up, when I received a job offer from a rival company for a marketing manager position via a bounty hunter. I felt this could be a launch pad for the coveted position so I signed the contract and started the preparations for the big plan...

I've been working for 1.5 years at the customer service when I had enough and decided to change. I read at the company's internal job site that they were looking for a 'junior trader'. The 'traders' as I mentioned before, are those who calculate the odds for the matches, control the inplay betting and evaluate the finished matches as well.


After a quick training I found myself in the middle of everything in front of six displays. I felt like at the HQ of NASA surrounded by the displays with diagrams and statistics. Usually I had to monitor 3 matches at the same time on TV, meanwhile thousands of bets were placed and I had to adjust the multipliers according to the stakes. The job looked really exciting and I did not know about how exciting and also rewarding it was going to be.


I've been doing this job for 3 months, sometimes in daytime sometimes in night-shift  (Asian, South American matches), when I went out one night with the other traders. We started in a pub nearby called Drews, then we rolled from pub to pub in the neighborhood. Around 11pm we started getting drunk so the storytelling started.


Peter offered suddenly to pay the drinks all night. I got a bit surprised because we were not earning so much that we could afford paying for everyone.  I was drunk enough not to start thinking about how could Peter afford that - all in all I was drinking and going with the flow...  It must have been around 3 am when we realized there were only three of us left : Peter, Joe and me, all the others left earlier. Joe could barely stand on his feet and decided to get home somehow. I could not keep my head raised. Peter thought I nodded so he pulled me out to the street and we got into taxi.


5 minutes later we were in the paradise on earth where hot, beautiful latin and eastern european girls were teasing and lap dancing around the dozens of poles. We were chilling for a while then Peter payed me a private lap dance, meanwhile he ordered a bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose champagne that was about £ 400 on the drink card.  At this point I really could not stand not to ask - What's happened? Did you win the lottery? - Peter replied with a smile - Almost J.


He did not want to tell where the money was coming from in the beginning but I got the answers I wanted. First he asked if I could remember when once I had a break and he had to go to the toilet because he had to pee like hell and asked me to take over three matches for two minutes. I remembered the situation of course. The truth is Peter said - that I found a match suspected of being fixed so I rushed out of the office and placed a larger bet on it using my smartphone. Of course I reported the match immediately after I bet on it to my boss who removed it from the site. -  I asked him how much money he bet on the match. - £ 5000 with a multiplier of 3.7x, that means I won £ 18500....-   I could only reply something like WTF.


Then I asked which match it was but he didn't tell it, anyway it doesn't count anymore since it is the past. I also asked where did he know from that the match was fixed. He said it was suspicious that 20 minutes before the match thousands of bets were placed on a particular result, so he dared to risk and won. Furthermore he explained what other signs do potentially fixed matches have.


From this point I could not think of anything else, I wanted to find a fixed match. Weeks passed by - nothing, months passed by and still nothing suspicious on the matches I monitored until suddenly it was there...

The sinking ship…..
I'm going to share my betting tactics for 'Asian handicap' football markets. I've read a lot of e-books and various materials on the internet on the subject and the 'heavy boat' theory seems to be the best so far.

How to find the matches that are worth to place a bet on?First it is worth to choose some matches which make your intuition arise after analysis.  Before checking the handicaps on the betting sites it is worth to estimate e.g. with how many goals will Manchester United win against Blackpool after reading the news about the team, stats and other facts. If your estimated result would beat the handicap then it is worth to follow the handicap change of the particular match and to place a bet on it later.

When is the ship sinking?It's worth to make screenshots of the handicap tables of the leagues you're familiar with at the beginning of every week. You will see this way which handicaps changed during the week (which bets are popular that week).
For exaple if the handicap of MU was altered from -1.5 to -1.75 since the beginning of the week it wouldn't mean it's worth to place a bet on it, but if it would have changed from -1.5 to -2.0 (2 steps) it would mean the ship is very heavy and it's going to sink, so it would make it worth to bet on that match on the underdog.

How to gain advantage against the bookies?There are a couple of sites that allow to choose alternative 'Asian handicap' as well. This option is worth to choose if you want to win a ¼ handicap because of wanting to place a safer bet. You can choose alternative handicap as well for example on bet365.com.
Other things worth to recognize?
For example if it's a cup game where B-teams of big names are playing there can be a surprise. It's good to check the news who are expected in the first team. If a big name gets only -0.75 or -1 handicap playing home against a small team then a big surprise is expected and it's worth to bet on the small team.
Analyzes are available at my Facebook page „Skyfootballtips” where I reached 70% win ratio over the long years (average multiplier 1.85x).

I've been working for the company for more than one year when I started in depth analysis of matches and searching for safe tips. We were discussing this topic many times with my colleagues, everybody was likely to share one's opinion about the best strategy but also everyone agreed in one thing. Doesn't matter what a perfect strategy you know, without sufficient self-control and discipline there is no chance to make profit in the long run.

 
All my colleagues were familiar in different sports but I've seen perspective only in football, especially after I got introduced to the market of 'Asian handicap' betting.

Why is the 'Asian handicap' similar to a samurai sword?
  • Asian Handicap betting reduces the possible number of outcomes from three 1-2-X to two (chance of win increased from 33% to 50% ) by eliminating the draw outcome and introducing stake refund.
  • The multipliers are usually varying from 1.75x to 2.1x, lots of 1.2x means better value than an evident outcome.
  • You can minimize your loss while placing a bet on a risky match
  • Using alternative handicap is also possible for a lower multiplier (e.g. 1.5x reducing risk) what still pays decently.
Therefore most of the highly profit oriented sites do not use this betting system, only simple 'handicap' betting is available, because it does not make any advantage for the bettor. Sites such as BetClic, Sportingbet, Bwin are not present on the market of Asian handicap betting because the profit rate is only 2-3% compared to the usual 7-8%.

In summary, if you are using 'Asian handicap' smart it can help you win large sums. In the next post I will describe the 'sinking ship' Asian handicap strategy.

As the months went by I got increasingly involved in the marshy world of sports betting and asked myself - what am I doing here? However the moral dilemma disappeard fast, I convinced myself it is just another business.

 
It is worth to know that only 2-3% of the players can win in the long run. All the others LOOSE! I saw the so-called 'Whale' who lost a lot of money month after month  -I mean more hundred thousands of punds-  we just assisted with a grin. However, when he had a winning series the 'odds makers' (who calculate the odds and monitor inplay betting) immediately reduced his maximum bet to £ 100.

 
This situation almost made me throw up. The wretched bettor had lost more than £ 1 million before and when won £ 120 000 we wanted to kick him out. No matter how I sorry I felt for the client, I could only say "I'm sorry I cannot do anything, it was a central decision." Then I realized that this is just another business and a good business, customers who loose all the time means good business but those who win too fast and too much are not welcome.

 
Beside the 'arbsters' there are also the so-called 'smart players' who do not cheat, they are simply pro. They make detailed analyzes about the matches and calculate the probability of different outcomes with algorythms. They are the ones who make profit in the long run. Needless to say that these players can get the maximum bid limit of £ 100 quickly, but by that time usually tens of thousands of pounds is taken home already.

 
In summary those ones who loose are being loved by the sports betting companies but who wins fast or has good series is made to leave the game. These companies advertise themselves with adrenaline and excitement, basically WHAT YOU NEED. Of course none of them claims you shouldn't dare to win, otherwise you're getting kicked out! This is only pure business where the company has the right to get rid of anyone, even if the customer lost millions previously.

If you've managed to develop a perfect betting strategy or found an agency or individual who provides professional tips then the next step is to prevent a maximum bid restriction of £ 100 being applied to your account too early.

The most simple way is to open 5-10 accounts at different betting offices offering the best odds and placing maximally £ 100 bets at all sites. You can fly under the radar this way and protect your profit for a long time.

Having 5-10 accounts makes also available to place a higher bet always at the office offering the best odds. As I mentioned in a previous post, it is crucial to place bets at those offices which offer the best odds. 20% more money makes a difference in the long run.

Trust me I'm not bullshitting, before my colleagues warned me I won a six-figure sum less because of not taking care of which offices I was playing at. I've seen the reduction of maximum bids at hundreds of accounts just because placing thousands of pounds bids without taking enough care.

If you place £ 100 bets at 10 offices no one will notice you are a 'sharp bettor'. So we've discussed an important part of the finances but the most important is just coming. As I mentioned before sports betting offices count on your greed and the lack of your self-control. So what is the point then?

How to play?
  • The maximum bid you should place on one match shall be not more than 5-10% of your money (because 100% sure doesn't exist)
  • Find good bets with and odds between 1.5x and 2.2x
  • Don't bet on the matches with odds 1.1x or 1.2x because in the long run it doesn't work
  • Make some analyzes before the matches and bet on those ones only which seem to be the safest
  • Don't place too small bids. Instead of placing a bid of £ 10 ten times, place £ 50 two times
  • Don't loose your head after having bad series
How NOT to play?
  • Never play drunk
  • Never play angry
  • Never do the opposite of mentioned above

If you bet on the wrong website you earn 20% less!

For a long time I didn't give a shit which online bookmaker site I was playing at. So I stuck for a long time at the site I registered for the first. I was not thinking about opening accounts at other betting sites until I got a job at a bookmaker company in England.

For the first time I had to realize my betting tactics had not been too sophisticated before, when I was chatting with my colleagues  about who was playing at which betting sites. When I said I was playing at company X all they guys were shocked and shouted in unison - Are you crazy? I replied - Why?  What's wrong with that company? The reply was like - Ah oh.. nothing just company X gives the lowest odds (especially at INPLAY bettings) so in the last years you won 20% less on your successful bettings. In other words you lost 20% on your winning bets.

They told me just to check out www.oddschecker.com immediately and check the odds. Of course they were right, so I stopped wasting time and immediately opened a new account at a site where the odds were much higher. This site was also more logical and easier to navigate offering more INPLAY games as well. The number of live matches available on a sports betting site is at least as important as the odds.

I do not regret what happened because I calculated how much I lost, just because I played at the wrong place. It was a six-figure sum. The point is that better late than never so look only for the best places to play at. Another good exaple for this are the commercial banks.

Which would you choose, the one paying 10% or the one paying 30% interest on your money?

Now it's Your turn to be an 'Arbitrage' bettor!
For more than 10 years 'Arbitrage' betting is popular tactics in the world of online sports betting. It means, that at two or more online bookmakers the odds of a given bet with opposite outcomes is so high, that if you place a bet on both outcomes at two different offices then you can make up to 10-15% profit.


Sounds simple right?
The thing is not too complicated but to become a pro 'Arbitrage' bettor you should be familiar with a few tricks and golden rule. This sports betting system works in case of there are only two possible outcomes, for example tennis. Here is an example: Odds for Nadal at BetClic is 2.05x and for Federer at Bwin is also 2.05x, so if you place a bet of £ 1000 at both betting offices you will make a profit of £ 50 because of the overlapping odds.


So why don't everybody do this?
It is impossible to take advantage of these opportunities because they exist for 5-10 minutes maximum. You can subscribe to sms messaging services but these are too late many times when the "arb" is alredy gone or too low. In addition you need starting capital, experience, knowledge, routine and of course accuracy. Of course not all sports betting companies like these players, cancellation of bets can happen also (not common, but happens if playing with big money).


How much capital to start and what profit should be expected?
Since your money should be placed at multiple bookies, therefore at least £ 500 is recommended for getting started. Of course it is possible to play with less but then you can win only small sums. A goal which I think can be easily achieved without any difficulties is a monthly 10-15% profit. Not too bad for a month if you consider that in banks you can currently get 7-8% in one year.


What is the reaction of online bookmaker offices to this?
It depends on if you win or loose at the particular betting office. If you have to many winning bets at the same place they might reduce your maximal bet for certain cases making not worth to place bets there anymore. Nevermind, there are a lot of online bookies. By the way this is an absolutely legal betting system so don't be afraid of any legal issues.


How much time do I need to do this?
It depends if you want to live of it or you do it for some pocket money. If you are serious about this, watching the events and the software for 8-10 hours a day is recommended.


Is there any risk involved?
I'm sure everybody wants to hear there is not. Unfortunately it must disappoint you, I've seen a lot of things and I have to say that in the world of sports betting even fixed matches are only 99.999% sure. If you put too high stakes they might get cancelled, in this case you must insure your bet at an other betting office even if it would cause you some loss. Dont worry about it, you will win back all later or even on the same day!


How to reduce the risk?
  • Place a bet on an "arb" with a maximal profit of 15%. "Arb"-s higher than 20% are many times just a result of a mistake the office made and the bets are getting cancelled.
  • If you win you do not take your money out, it can catch their attention.
  • Do not bet more than £ 500 on one match, it can also catch attention.
Getting started in arbitrage betting
  • Minimum start-up capital £ 250 but much better if £ 500
  • Register and open an accounts at the betting offices
  • Open a Moneybookers (virtual purse) account for money transfers
  • Do "paper trading" - practice on paper before placing a bet

The fight between tricky players and the customer service

I had been eight months working in the customer service when I was sitting at the 22nd floor in a tower block, outside it was pouring with rain, I was sipping my coffee and pondering upon what happened so far.

First I was appalled upon the fact that I have not recognized that I am apart from my family for eight months because I got totally cought up in a new world, the mysterious world of sports betting. Every day I met more than weird, tricky situations which I had to manage perfectly every time.  

The fight with the players already started on my first day. After I attended a company training course I got immediately thrown in the deep, arguing players were rushing me till the end of the day. By the end of the day I was so freaked out I had to go to the toilet several times to throw up. I was not used to hear my mother being cursed every ten minutes before. I was neither allowed to send them to the hell.

So it went on day after day, without throwing up of course. I got trained enough to manage the cruel style of the players and I learned to handle them. One day a furious player called that the maximum bet for him is £ 100 limited by our company. I have not met similar situation before and neither knew why this was possible to happen.

Quickly I turned to Jack - the guy sitting next to me - and asked what could be the reason for this. He just waved his hand and said, - Ahhh, this is just another "Arb bettor". - Jack asked me to turn the call over to him and listen to what they say. Jack - I'm sorry sir, but we can not do anything because the £ 100 central limit has been approved for your account.... The customer got more furious and hung up the phone ..... he never called us and closed his account.

In the lunch break Jack explained that the client is an "Arb bettor" who is using a software to take advantage of the overlap of various sports betting sites' odds ratios and makes  10-15%   profit on every bet. I replied - This player lost £ 3500 total at our company already. - Jack waved his hand and said YES... we were lucky so far, but these players mean high risk to the company. Imagine sometimes they loose here and win elsewhere, but the next time he wins big money here and we get kicked in the ass ....

In addition, we met every day "bonus hunters" who opened  20-30 accounts within 1 day using various fake personal information and wanted only to take out the registration bonus.  Such players at the very beginning could cause up to £ 2-3000 loss to the company but since IP address monitoring has been introduced  this trick got way more difficult to be performed.  Since then this is a trick only for the small fish, the big fish are rather doing "Arb betting".
