Bro he is saying the fact, my guess is they would have given you a lot of bonus on that account. That account is still intact because you are not making profits long term. Making long term profits is against a bookmaker rules incase you don't know. I would rather have a 1 years unrestricted access to a 1xbet account instead of a cash gift of #10m.
l am making profit, beleive me. I know what you are saying which is right, but l am smarter than them, sound funny right?

More reasons why you needed to run away from gambling.

Final Episode
Finally it worked.

Fast forward to October 2023, I dumbed arbitrage betting and settled for value betting; even though value betting was not risk-free, I find it more profitable.

With arbing you are paying the vig price which means you are giving up a part of your profits for a non existing guaranteed profit. From Oct - Dec 2023, I made a total profit of $3720. I was very much ready to quit my job.

In January 2024 I submitted my resignation letter to focus on value betting full time. I was scared of what the future holds and happy for the time being. From Jan 2024 - May 2024 my profit was over $9K. This was way over my 6 years' salary combined. Finally, everything is working again. At the end of the EPL season, around June/July, I took 2 months break. And resumed in September. By December my total profit was over $38K.

January this year things took a drastic turn. All the profits quoted above were made using only bet365. I used only bet365 because the scanner I was using had lots of bets on bet365.

I was placing hundreds of value bets daily. So far I have placed over 20k bets and turned over $700k. And I started all these with just around $640 bankroll.

This year, I managed to make just $800 and lost over 16 bet365 accounts. Before now my minimum profit with 16 bet365 accounts should be around $6k. I have made $5k in profits on a single account before. Then you could deposit $3k on an account without issue, unlike now. Unfortunately, bet365 became brutal and harsh toward smart bettors most especially Nigerians.

They close my accounts even when I'm yet to place a bet. I even heard from some quarters that they are about to exit the Nigeria space, but I'm not sure. Some are even complaining that now you need an authenticator to place bets on bet365. Looking from where I'm coming from I feel so happy and fulfilled. Finally, my years of struggles were not in vain.

I am now more experienced and have sound knowledge of how sports betting works. Making money from sports betting is no longer the main issue for me now. Finding reliable bookies accounts like bet365, williamhill, BetVictor, Unibet, etc. is the main struggle now.

Although not giving up yet on bet365. Bet365 and 1xbet remain the most profitable bookies for smart bettors. They are very easy to beat. And The only difference between the 2 is one is reliable and responsible, the other (1xbet) is a crook and very dubious.


Forget all these tipsters littered all over the sports sections and elsewhere; if you are not matched betting, value betting, or using arbitrage, you can't make reasonable profits in the long run. You will only end up losing your hard earned money. Till this very moment, there is somebody I know who has been making over $4k+ monthly for over 5 years now. He does that using value betting.

Will I recommend sports betting to anybody? The answer is NO. I said no because the risk of deviating from your strategy and gambling carelessly is very high. You must be and always remain disciplined and trust the process. I have lost over $1k in just 2 days while value betting. But at the end of the month, my profit was over $3k.

Thank you all for reading my long Epistles; like I said earlier, no DMs, please. If you have any questions you are very free to ask. I'm still a learner when it comes to sports betting. Some professionals are making money from the most difficult sets of sharp bookies like Pinnacle and Exchanges.
Hope ure doing great bro?
Just wanted to ask which scanner ure using and which does the guy making 4k+ use please...
Thanks

For me, my go-to scanner remains Tradematesports (TMS). That guy is using both RebelBet and Pinnacle Odds Dropper (POD). But he uses only Curacao bookies, as such fund confiscation is almost like a norm to him.

That's how the game works, with the soft winners are not welcomed. He has a spreadsheet with over 50 Curacao bookies that accept users from his country, which alone guarantees 50 accounts with his own ID, then another 250 accounts from his 5 close friends. Although not all that glitters is gold, these bookies always confiscate his funds. But even after these confistications he still comes out in profit. As for finding bookies to use, there are over 300 bookies listed on casinoguru and askgamblers. He painstakingly scanned through each list, filtered them, compared their odds manually, and came out with a huge list.

And it is a known fact that those Curacao bookies are very generous with odds and slow to react, only 365 beats them on that.

Placing the bets, is the easiest part of smart betting. Getting accounts, covering your tracks to avoid detection, is the greatest hurdle in it.

Yeah that's the main challenge. Like u rightly put it; the world is sports betting is indeed cruel!!!
From ur vast experience though, I was wondering, did u mix it all up with some prop, mug or accumulators once a while to try cover Ur tracks? Because I understand it's one of the ways to stay below the radar. Does it really workhuh

Placing mug bets doesn't take you far, no matter how you try to hide in the midst of normal gamblers your odds and trade volume will give you away. I normally prime new accounts for at least 2 weeks. I deposit $500 into these accounts place acca, and normal bets then lay them sequentially, I make sure I blow these accounts to $0. Then make a new deposit to start value betting still the account will be restricted in at most a week.

Smart bettors are very easy to detect. In as much as you are beating the closing lines consistently, they will surely know that you are up to no good for their business. They won't even look at your profits, your odds and bet volume is more than enough. I've had accounts restricted while at a loss of $300 - 600.

The only way around it is getting more accounts, or learn the art of odds compilation to detect your own value/arbitrage bets with which you can use on the sharps like pinnacle and exchanges like Betfair which to me ain't worth it.

Yeah, sharp bookies ain't it, cos the its their odds ure using to find value with softs in the first place.
And with exchanges, the value is mostly minimal or gone which doesn't make it worth Ur time, but maybe in the long run. Even at that Betfair is not available for Nigerians... Sad!

You've earned my respect boss.. have you heard about gologin.. heard it's used for arbitrage betting to avoid getting banned from bookies..

Yeah, I used anti detect browsers like Gologin, multiogin, and adspower (my favourite), but they are best used with proxy socks and bookies like bet365 detect many proxies and VPNs. As such you will need a new internet connection. What I usually do, is put the phone on flight mode for a minute or 2, and a new IP will be generated automatically when I turn off flight mode. I used them for about a month or 2 but I wasn't impressed, so I settled for buying second handed phones solely for multi accounting.
Be very careful when multi accounting with 1xbet and their countless clones, they can confiscate your funds for multi accounting.

It's no ordinary, there are some element of spiritual entity attached to it.

In the physical aspect human wants are insatiable, they always have this natural and insatiable tendency to always want more, while gambling strive on greed.

The combination of both gives birth to addiction.

Lol, you are funny bro. People are addicted and enticed to sports betting because making money with it seems easy. 100k staked on 1.50 odds is 50k profit in just 1 hour and 30 mins. Do it four times a week, and boom you are making 200k weekly. The maths is always easy, but the reality is not.
Recently a bookmaker was giving me a free bonus every week, I exploited the bonus making around 11k per game. They noticed me, and from nowhere they stopped my bonus without informing me. To my surprise, I lost 150k in 3 days, thanks to a Greek gift from a bookmaker.
The fact remains, without value betting, arbing, or matched betting you can never beat these bookmakers. Even with the listed strategy you can't beat them long term, they will go to any lengths to frustrate you.
