Betting websites

[NonPhixion]

Possibly doesn't come under betting websites, but this is one that will save/make you money if you look into it, with much greater impact than just getting an extra few cents on the odds between sites or an extra point on the line.

I've been using Bettingmetrics which tracks bets, ROI, win rate, and a whole bunch of other stats. Heaps of filters by sport, bet type, odd range.

Anyway, I always felt AFL was my most knowledgeable sport, but the data shows I'm down over the course of the season with a negative ROI.
Alternatively, on Rugby League I am +9.01% ROI, horse racing even greater ROI.

Now in a lot of cases punting is just a bit of fun, but if you are looking to become more intelligent with your betting and make a little coin, this sort of analysis is great. Surprising too.

thanks for sharing, might check this out. I put it all on an excel spreadsheet, doesn't take me too long to do all the maths but its always nice to have something that does the work for you haha.
This bettingmetrics free?

Their business model is very good.
They offer what appear to be awesome promo's but in reality are actually not that good and then when they hook you they offer extremely tight odds. As ive said before I believe they have the best statisticians working for them, the only ones that know what they are really doing imo.

Pointsbet have tripled their share price since March. There's plenty going for them but the ongoing price increase isn't nearly as likely as you'd think.

Corporate books in Aus are just a giant Ponzi scheme. Pump them up and then sell them to the next sucker.

There's a free and a pro version. I paid for the pro version, have already made my money back with what I've learnt and adjustments I've made, but there is a free version too just with less features.

It's just a shame I think the punters in Australia don't have the option of opening account with overseas betting agencies. There were a few good ones that I used before they put the restrictions. (eg Matchbook, Skybet, Pinnacle Sports). The Australian government want the the Aussie money to stay in Australia, not go overseas.

Any thoughts on viability of a few of the smaller corporates over the next few months?

Carnage for Pointsbet obvious on ASX, strain will only greaten when money becomes tight on withdrawals etc.

Surprisingly they have done well on the ASX. Gone from around $1.40 a share to $7.45 in the past couple of months. I have an account with them but dont use them that much.

Beteasy have now limited me to $0 bets for my preferred betting category. Absolute rort they can take money from problem gamblers but won't take bets from people who actually win.

Your friend does get some solid information I’ll say that....

Still think a betting exchange is better than Pinnacle personally.

I had an account for a while but rarely use it as much now.

 

[NYRB]

I just realised tried to logon to my Pinnacle account- apparently they are banned from New Zealand now. (already were banned in Australia)

 

[Reveen]

Pinnacle accounts via agents for Australians were closed in April 2020.

I am promo banned now but they had the same offer through spring in Melb / Syd and it was pretty solid. They scrape their odds from TS so unlike BetDeluxe and Sportsbetting their odds on the promo markets are OK

I used pinnacle for tennis only so can't speak for other sports but they were miles better than Betfair for tennis. You'd battle to get $50 on a tennis match on early at Betfair and with the time zones you'd need to chuck a bet on at night for say American matches early the next morning Aus time. Take out the betfair commission and the pinnacle odds were better as well.

This was the email I got from Pinnacle in relation to the closure of my Pinnacle (New Zealand account):

"

are there any good 3rd brokers around to use Pinnacle?

Mine was 50% first deposit matched up to 2K with bonus bets. 1 x turnover on deposit and no turnover on BB winnings. So what was said above was certainly correct for me and I have found them good to deal with.

Maybe they have changed their rules or maybe you work for a competitor, no idea but I have found them OK. That said haven't used them for a week or two

BETDELUXE: This is no longer true in Dec 2020.

Be aware that:

1. Bonus bet earned or given is only valid for 5 days.
2. If you bet with bonus bet, you are limited to $500 winnings at one time. Goodbye to punting on underdogs. (This wasn't stated in the T&Cs)
3. Winnings needs to be turned over at 1.80 odds, yet their odds are not the best.

Promo seems good though insincere.

 

[checkraiseulite]

has robwaterhouse racing promos dried up for everyone else?

used to be my fav bookie - but now they are only offering the ‘lay of the day’ rather then $50/$100 money back

I thought it was illegal now to make you turnover your BB winnings.

It is. If you read their T&C’s it’s ‘asked’ that you turnover winnings at $1.8 or higher. Failure to do so results in a loss of promos.

Seems a bit on the dodgy side to me, but better than others like Rob Waterhouse who still have on their website that BB winnings have to be turned over twice at $1.5+ on racing only. That crap ended years ago.

A good description for corporate bookies in general
