WC 2010 - Bookie Laughing to the Bank


Today is the last day of Round 2 in Group stages ...... I can summed it up in 1 line:

"Punters all OBK, Bookie laughing to the Banks" ...

Is it good news ? .... Serious soccer punters are crying foul, kelong, fixed game. Some simple minded social punters laughing to the bank too, saying "tell you eat all the way you don't want" 

 Even our TNP pundit, Mr Eric Ding, today wrote about influences outside the game ... Conspiracy Theory in Soccer .... OMY ... I am surprise that it took so long for someone like him to write this to remind punters :)


Watching the game, everyone can tell and see for themselves ... from keeper to outfield players to referees, or even the coaches ..... how BIG is this influences getting ...



.... But that's not important .... What concern me is what's on the soccer gambling addict's mind .... chasing the losess ... denial, chasing the high, the next game ....

1) Analysis the odds theory, movement
2) Study the kelong trend in a day of 3 matches. How 1st affect the 2nd and how 2nd affect the thrid
3) Mind keep saying, "Cannot be .... Not all games can be fixed
4) What trap did bookie setup to attract "normal" punters
5) So many varities and types of bets .... how to come up with a system to win money. Eat all the way ?
6) Final round of group stage, cannot be more kelong liao ...
7) Strong teams must win but will clear handicap anot ....

..... the list goes on and on in the addict mind .....

But when he/she thinks that he got it right ... bookie also changes tactics .... and again he/she said "cannot be " ... hahaha sounds familar ....

Take yesterday for example

Game 1 - Addict think eat better thinking heavy boat in Paraguay too heavy, odds in Spools drops till 1.70. Moreover in recent games, so eat safer ... then outcome Mati 

Game 2 - Addict think Italy can't afford to lose liao ... give beta. Try Half Time - Mati ... Jalan 2nd half also Mati ... their mind think KNN .. what's wrong with Bookie ..

Game 3 - Addict think Brazil only give -0.75 ... too gd to be true ... Eat safer ... Ivory Coast can "tong" Brazil for a draw as Brazil struggle against World Ranking 105th ... hahaha eat - swee lah .. then KNN - Vomit all out ....

Soccer addict minds think differently .... I too think I have a system, a formula, experience and an odds theory to beat the bookie and win some pocket money .... BUT look ... wake up ... be sober

THEY ARE NOT CALLED BOOKIE OR BOOKMAKER FOR NOTHING ......

BOOKIE ARE NOT CHARITY ORGANISATION LEH .......

whatever we can think off..... they have a panel of experts in all fields .. to think what we can think of too...

You think you can beat the odds and mind of bookie ...

Maybe for today .... BUT for how long  ... can you tahan the losses the next few days ...

I love these mind games .... I love beating the bookies in the game too

..... The question is normal people can stop ... I, a soccer gambling addict can't ....

"Sharing - World Cup 2010"



Recently there was a new comer to our group. He is facing huge problems becasue of his soccer betting habits ..... His family members came along with him 

He shared with us his story .... here are some extracts which is very similiar to mine 

"I am not a gambling addict just having alot of problem on money issues ... "
"I been forced to gamble becasue I have alot of debts and expenses to cover ... "
"I did start on my own ... My friend open the plate for me on internet .... "
"I started with multiple winnings but I used 75% of the money on drinks, women and other entertainments .."
"I was managing well with my debts and repayments... "
"But there are times when luck just evage me ... all the way I go down and family always bail me out ..."
"The next moment, I went straight back in bcos I wana repay them the money quickly .... "
"I won big before. Turn over in a single night with winning on my parleys !!"
"I have couple of systems to beat the plate ... just to win water money .... "
"But my wife is angry with me now ... I need to recover quickly ... I can't stop now .. "

His family member made him attend the group as WORLD CUP 2010 is just around the corner. They have just bailed him out so worry that he might go straight back in again ....

.... However,  I didn't see him the next week ....



Many smiled when they are hearing the story ... some even laugh ... But we are smiling and laughing at ourselves bcos


1) WE SHARED THE SAME STORY
2) THE STORY REMIND US OF OUR INSANITY IN THE PAST

 
So to all serious soccer punters ... stay safe and watch your line ...

 
So during WC 2010, if you think you have crossed the line

IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO SPEAK TO, DROP ME A EMAIL AND I WILL REPLY YOU SOONEST AND ARRANGE A MEET UP WITH YOU IF YOU DESIRE ...............

THANKS.

GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE
