Do people use more than one betting company?

I started gambling a few years ago. Just small amounts to pay for beer money. It was pretty consistent.

I upped my betting amount slightly and continued to win. I then upped it more and strangely found when betting higher amounts, instead of being more careful, I became more reckless.

Then the pandemic hit and results were all over the place so I stopped.

I don’t gamble for enjoyment, I do it to make money.

I’ve gone through my journey now and am consistently winning. I won’t up my bets as I know it makes me more reckless.

I didn’t gamble much in the summer as there wasn’t much to bet on that I had knowledge of.

Since the football season began I’ve profited £650 a month and currently at £450 profit for November.

So i am comfortable with where I am.

But I’ve started thinking that maybe I should be using numerous sites and looking for the best odds.

I currently just use one site and it’s convenient as I can see my history, profits etc.

Any views on if I should continue using one site or branch out?

Yeah you should open as many accounts as possible in my opinion, if only to profit from sign up offers to start with, but then more importantly the weekly offers.

I have accounts I use regularly with bet365 (best standard odds), skybet (formerly best boosts, but not so much these days, but they do now have the acca result lock offer, will hills (random price boost offers), paddy power (random boosts again), and betfair (boosts and generally best odds for singles on the exchange)

To keep track of things I only withdraw when my balance is above a set amount i think i need to ride out any bad runs so I shouldn't have to make many, if any, deposits. You can also check profit and loss with all of them as well.

If you find you're winning regularly then don't be surprised if they start limiting your bets so you'll need another account to for that reason. Its worth placing occasional stupid small bets on other sports to make it less look like you're an expert.

Fancy starting a tips thread? :LOL:

I can just share some of my car crash opinions from here to show I’m no expert.

Haven't got round to setting up various accounts yet. Seems a bit daunting as I don't want to open too many but checking a few for the best odds seems a sensible thing to do.

My profit for December was £1200 and I'm up £160 over the last 4 days. So maximising my profit seems a sensible thing to do.

If I were you I would start diversifying your accounts. If you’re getting up to winning 1k a month regularly the company will limit or close your account eventually. They will not tolerate people who win consistently.

Just got my Will hill account reopened, the wankers wouldn't allow any activities for over three fucking years.
365 can go fuck themselves as can bet Fred.

What did u do that led to you being told to fuck off?
Win regularly.....4 decent wins on willhill over time are 12k football. 6k football. 14k syndicate on horse racing acca. 15k horses.
I used to be a bookie at an independant so i layed bets off with the big 3 and sometimes they came in.

Yeah I have a few. I think they all have certain things that they do better than others so makes sense to spread wagers. Plus I chase those Saturday 1/6s into 1/1s if I fancy them and withdraw the tenner on occasions that the early game wins so I’m normally up.

skybet - acca freeze for when you fancy a team not to win but take lead. Won 800 on two bets by having Bayern to beat Arsenal at their place and freezing both with 4 faves. Wouldn’t use them for bet builders as they’re crooks with opta stats.

Paddy Power - supersub have won a few, they are cheeky with only doing it on certain games though. I would probably say they’re my main bookie as I use them for my standard wagers too, find they’re pretty fair on shots on targets markets and they’re also slow with shifting markets. Pretty good on customer loyalty too as often get a freebie.

WH - only really use them once a week for double odds. Normally have the best odds as standard.

BetMGM - same for double odds but just for the darts on Thursdays.

Have a betfair account and a talksport bet account too for odd bonus.
