yes … I thought you were alluding to “shaving” of revenue too.
However, you cannot assume fraud … and gambling stats can be frustrating things … just consider my experience at big Euro bookie Bet365.
They offer Casino, Poker, Games and Sports … have good customer retention and a physical bricks n mortar presence. I trust these guys. But …
For the first 8 months we attracted 47 customers … every month was a winning month. Life was sweet. Turnover between 15K – 25K monthly. How much fun is this ???
:la-de-da:
Month 9. We added 5 more customers – had average turnover … but took a major loss that set the program into a $5K hole for us ($15K for them ) !!! Remember that Bet365 rollover negatives.
The offer daily statistics … and this loss came on one day … ironically almost a year ago 28-Aug-2004 when they lost $17K to three clients who staked on a football accumlator I recommended …
:Ohno:
:tongue:
Since then we’ve added another 123 active customers in the last 12 months. So the size is much bigger now … but they’ve had 8 winning months and 4 losing months.
Overall – we have around 175 customers there now. Turnover is 100K+ per month. Stability of results has still not been achieved – but it is a profitable relationship.
:la-de-da:
So while I agree that a greater size should mean stable results … I’ve yet to see it even with this many customers at a bookie.
Overall the bookie win/loss month count over all my sports books since January 2005 has been 44 wins / 13 losses ..
If anyone is seriously are suggesting fraudulent activity ( and I notice that several users on here seem to start a thread a week with such accusations) ….
… then why on earth would you continue to promote such a site as a safe place to gamble ? If you think that are screwing you – then what are they doing to your customers ?
:banger:
Simply :
– Post a warning here …
– Drop the advertising for the site …
– Pick up reliable programs …
