About Me

To Bet Or Not To Bet.

Hi. My Name is James Burnet, a 56 year old Yorkshireman exiled to Warwickshire. After a moderately successful year matched betting my bookmaker accounts started to dwindle away as they began to restrict and close them. After a couple of months trying my hand at trading betfair markets and watching YouTube videos showing me how to be rich within a year. I found that with the limited time I have available, realistically there is only beer money to be made. I enjoy betting and started looking at the boosted bets that all bookmakers offer but discovered very quickly that they are boosted for a reason – they invariably lose!!

Boosted bets offered by bookmakers are usually accompanied by a couple of lines of facts which, while they are perfectly true, they don’t actually paint the full picture – just the pertinent information that will persuade the average punter to part with their money. Bit naughty really. The aim of my blogs are to actually go and thoroughly research these boosts and lay the deeper facts at your disposal so as to enable you to make a more informed decision before you lay out a bundle on a bet designed to lose more than it wins. You cant really blame these bookmakers but they like winning money a lot more than losing it.
