Hey guys. In the UK, no bookamakers left so need something to alert for in shop opportunities.

What's something other than horse racing that can alert me for in shop opportunities?

They have non-online odds, right?

Some odds are the same as online, some are not. How come you asking?

its still working. tough it got harder obviously. get yourself good shoes ! you will walk the entire day into the betting shops and back into some place where you can sit and have your laptop on. you will soon find out which bookies are good to go and which one are complete worthless with regards to the shop odds and online odds. you have to be organized and change the area. the betting stuff is getting in a bad mood since you will constantly go into the shop,ask for the event/bet and of course your odds. more often than not they are not ident and you leave the shop. horse racing in some particular races will become your daily routine for collecting some bucks everyday. always check the betting coupons and watch the markets when odds shift does occur. often they give you the same odds as on the coupons where you will find some value. you will also get the hang which software is usable for each shop.

if you are lucky and get to know some shop staff this will do things very easy,however it seems impossible,at tleast in the uk. sharbing,like everything else grew in difficulty and gone are the times where you put money into the shop for your fella behind the desk for some extra money. they risk their job nowadays. you have to do it the old way. and yes,get yourself some good shoes !

Is it possible bet in live in those shops?
I believe that you need at least an online clon.

This is a good post and thank you for it.

First, I am impressed by the misery the UK high street bookmakers create to themselves. In a recent story that was covered widely by the media, 2 WilliamHill shops called the police in an effort to avoid paying a legitimate bettor. Can you believe this? They called the police. In the end, due to the publicity and the interference of the local MP, they did pay the bettor completely.

You are correct, the profitability of sharbing in the UK went down over the years and it became much harder that what it used to be. Many of the problems can be addressed if you are able to make a deal with the shop owner. This is not possible in the UK, but it is still possible in Italy, even though it seems that it gets harder there too. Leaving some cash to the shop owner, if there is trust, would do the job.

Lastly, in some countries, you could leave someone inside the shop who will place the bets for you when signalled by you. In this case this ''someone'' should create a persona that would not cause attention to shop owners and other clients. I am not sure how much longer this trick will work.

In the end the problem is always a conflict of interest between gamblers and bookies. On the stock market a broker doesn't care if you win or lose. But for these bookies it's just their own profit that counts. And they figured out over the years it's more profitable for them to get rid of the smart gamblers. I'm not really sure what the solution is. I personally like the exchange business model but it's not really as popular as it should be. Betfair been around for how long and barely any casual gamblers use it. I think it's a lack of marketing and ironically also profitability for the exchange itself. It's more profitable to be a bookie then exchange because say betfair charges 2% transaction costs, but then bookies charge 5-10% juice. That's up to 5 times as profitable. And it's especially all these combination bets that print them money because the house edge compounds.
For this reason i actually like poker more and more, at least you are allowed to win.

Then i also think from a business perspective shops are not as profitable for the bookies as online. Think about all the overhead of having to run a shop. Usually i see it's just older people who go to these shops, young people all bet online. But then online bookies instantly ban players. I don't know where this will end up with. I think if you really want you could even run a zero commission sportsbook, there is just no profit in that so nobody does it. So it's just a big conflict of interest in some way. They don't want you to win.

To a large extend, betting shops on the streets do not aim to cover their expenses from their sales. At least from the perspectives of the mother company. In essence, they buy advertising space to create or maintain a brand name. We are talking about pure marketing and not sales. How many people are passing from street A, they see a Betfred or a WillHill shop and they think ''when I go home I will place that bloody bet on Arsenal''. This is what the company is looking for.
On the other hand, some franchisees might look to sell more, or they have other side profits not visible to the naked eye. But this should be happening to smaller communities and not the cities. And of course every country, and every city is different from the next.
Any serious manager who knows his job calculates these expenses as marketing expenses and not as operational expenses.
