Re: How bookies protect themselves against in stadium mobile bet players?

I watched an EPL game recently and many people around me were using their smartphones to bet, business as usual. However, I must say that they all looked like small fishes enjoying the game, while placing a small bet in Paddy for fun. I don't know what would happen if someone brings in his laptop, login to betfair and start trading.
The same for a Greek basketball game. Situation was rather relaxed, I m sure that a laptop would be very much acceptable.

In my view, court siding is evolving. Maybe the tennis associations were successful to stop this kind of action to a large extend, but courtsiders would move to other sports like ping pong, and volley ball. Of course, the betting limits are humble in these sports, but again, any money making technique in these business is degrading over time.

Most bookies these days have recognition software for punters that tend to place late bets. And very late bets (just before suspending the odds) are very often reviewed. You will get limited, suspended fast and even your winnings taken away if there is a pattern of these bets.

Covid 19 has been the biggest threat BY FAR for courtsiders.

- Hardly any benefit of courtsiding if it is not sport with a lot of points and good liquidity on exchange. Holy grail is tennis of course which is why scouting services do not offer tennis data. That data is reserved for the chosen ones. Biggest tennis courtsider have his topic here but he did not introduced himself properly.

I find basketball as the next big thing in court siding.
The guys with the red buttons working for bookmakers should be part of the plot.

Let me explain why Basketball is better compared to other sports (i.e volleyball, darts, etc).
There are 3 criteria a decent courtsider is thinking about.
1. Adequate volumes and bet limits in bookmakers. Basketball is a popular game, offered for live betting with decent betting limits.
2. Many ups and downs, upsets and surprises. These last 10 years the number of upsets has gone up and up for basketball making it a very unpredictable event. I always remember the 90s when unquestionable favourites were killing weak underdogs. This is not the case any more. Like tennis, Basketball has many turning points. But of course it still can't compete tennis.
3. Large crowds of 5-20K people in the venues allowing coursers to hide themselves, mascaraed as basketball funs.
Food for thought?

Do I understand these methods of earning correctly? For example, if I'm at a basketball game and a team scores a point, will I be able to quickly place a bet with that online bookmaker before they update the score on the online site?

Both, and even smaller than these.

That would work in some occasions but you should think in different time frames than that.

I was simply trying to give the credit to Blackjack for the eye opening call. Nothing more nothing less.

What a fascinating topic guys!
Two thoughts come to mind:
1. How about horse and greyhound racing? There is very good volume inplay, especially for horses.
2. It is not hard to design a concealed apparatus for betting, hidden inside your shoes (or other creative places 😂). Given the big money involved in grand slams, it would be surprising if this isn’t already in use, no?
