They only need to be professional by name.
BetConnect - New Social Betting Platform
not looked yet, but the main question is 'how do they determine the *after*' (i.e. if you declare yourself one or 'tother) and if they find *issue* what is the redress!!
the open environment is to be welcomed but only if transparency prevails...
As far as I can tell it's just like an exchange except your account is set up as backing only or laying only. Don't be confused by their stupid terminology - a pro doesn't really have to be a pro but someone who wants to back, and a punter could either be a punter that 'follows' the pro or a bookie that accepts his bets. The ability to lay at bookie prices sounds quite exciting and could knock out some premium charge.
prior to *this life*, i was a matched betting guy and made a pretty good penny using BF lay vs *an-other* bookie back (based on sign up offers). this worked well due to the offers given out by willhill, lads etc. however, on a purely arbs based basis, (despite having the tech to exploit), I never got involved beyond skimming the offers... if these new guys didn't limit based on winners (tho i'd be aiming for losers!), then maybe it would be worth reviewing again. that said, *my* heyday in all of this was 2014-2016, so times will have changed.Derek27 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 10:19 pmAs far as I can tell it's just like an exchange except your account is set up as backing only or laying only.

What I find strange is the racingpost are writing topics on such bullshit? If they were aware of such struggles of placing a bet why don’t they just push the exchange???
They advertise all the different bookies but now seem to care about this platform.
If people find the exchanges confusing... how the hell would they understand this concept??
Utter waste of time.. I’m sorry but I think the next big thing has come and gone. It was nearly 20 years ago callled the exchanges.
Why don’t bookies modernise even like the banks. Stick tablets on their betting tables and allow people to bet on the exchange In store with cash and withdraw cash In store.
It would be a very simple concept. If you want to back you can simply use cash, no account needed.
If you want to lay.. you need an account... maybe some type of store card (integrity reasons)
Even Mac Donald’s have tablets on every table. A lot of bookies are still using telly text!!
Another 10 years until the government get to grips with betting restrictions and maybe that might happen.
I have to drive 25 mile just to get £100 on a horse and still I will not use this betconnected, it just won’t work.

It’s just a scam for some heavy bettors to get their bets laid. As simple as that.
A few guys are fed up of not getting on so this how they will.
