Feeling like Bet365 is using me

I have checked my accounts today and Bet365 have “used” me to source over €600 in cash from unsuspecting traders on the exchange.

In return I have gotten the promise of a few free bets.

I have deposited well over €600 in Bet365 over the last few months and I am sitting with barely enough left to do their promo tomorrow.

But I mean that I am obviously not personally down because I’ve been strictly matching all my bet365 bets on the exchange.

Have Bet365 cottoned on to matched betting and are now using us as their minions to find and exploit value on the exchange market and transfer it to them? Are their promos set up to maximise _their_ profit?

Kidding around here a bit, but I do wonder maybe if a really smart bookie could do something to harness the “work” matched bettors do.

I often feel this is the case with certain bookies. I’ll see a price well above the average (sometimes a boost) and go for it wondering if their fishing to catch a matched bettor.

More often than not it loses. No skin off my nose as I’ve laid off but I always wonder if I should be leaving these alone!

Most of the time though Fog the money ends up in the bookie because that’s where the value is, people are always saying how the exchanges empty don’t they?

Observation bias? Few people complain when their bet loses and the money remains in their exchange.
