A chat with Andrew Woodman, a senior parliamentary assistant working in Westminster and somebody acutely involved in the ongoing discussions around the forthcoming gambling law changes in the UK.

Alongside his work in Politics, Andrew is also a keen bettor and racing enthusiast, so is extremely well placed to pass comment on all the topics of interest, from affordability limits to the black market and the reputation of bookmakers.

Andrew also shares his insight into the concept he and the MP he works for, Andrew Bridgen have been promoting as a solution to affordability checks -the Single Customer Wallet and why its preferred to other suggestions that have been doing the rounds.

Andrew also was happy to put forward his predictions on what he thinks will unfold in the UK gambling space and the impact on both bookmakers and punters alike.

A special podcast exploring the increase in complaints as regards bookmaker behaviour - specifically surrounding the number of account suspensions, withdrawal delays and outright refusals to pay out customer balances that are now taking place.

The allegations some are making is that bookmakers are adding unnecessary and unreasonable financial and account security checks to make life as difficult as possible for some customers, especially those who have won money betting.

Many of these extra checks are coming solely at the withdrawal stage or if and when a customer wins money and often come with requests for extensive and unreasonable amounts of extra documentation - such as 3 years worth of unredacted bank statements. This coupled with poor customer service and lengthy delays to seek answers and resolutions has created this growing issue for many punters.

Added to which there are significant concerns over the effectiveness of the complaints procedure including the mediation companies that are there to help resolve disputes, yet whom many punters are now skipping entirely and going straight to court to seek a solution.

To discover more on this topic - in this podcast episode you can hear my interviews with 2 different punters on the experiences they have had when it comes to dealing with bookmakers and how one of them took one major high street firm to court in order to obtain access to his winnings.

A feature length interview with Professional Punter Neil Channing discussing the ongoing gambling review taking place in the UK and the very grave concerns he and many others have on some of the proposed new laws being mooted, including that of affordability checks and the Single Customer View concept.

Neil is one of the foremost minds on this topic and he explains the background to why these new rules are being considered and how and why affordability limits are being put forward as a solution to fixing the issue of problem gambling. 

He also shares his opinion on the flawed Single Customer View concept and how that might work and the very real possibility we could see substantial growth in the betting black market if some of the more stringent measures being proposed are brought in.

Neil also outlines how the UK political scene and changes there might impact legislation, plus crucially what you can do to ensure that MP's and those in power listen to the vast majority of punters who bet in a sensible fashion.

Right now the mooted changes are being put forward by a tiny minority on each side of the debate - those against gambling on one side and the operators/bookmakers on the other. The opinions and needs of the vast majority of bettors are not being represented and Neil explains why this is and shares his own predictions on what might unfold in coming months.

Its a longer podcast than normal due to the many important topics up for debate so sit back, enjoy and share any feedback you have with us after you listen!

In this latest Betting Clever episode, SBC Editor Peter Ling chatted with the vastly experienced winning punter and tipster, Steve Lewis Hamilton on the thorny topic of how to handle losing when betting.

The reality for many of us who bet is that we will strike more losing bets than winning bets, and although long-term those winning bets make us a lot more - it's how we handle such bad runs, especially those sizable bad runs which is critical for long-term success.

Steve has a wealth of experience in coping with losing and we talk about some of the strategies he uses to put such runs into perspective and to give him confidence that he will come out on top.

Pete and Steve also explore some of the psychological issues at play when betting, the tricks losing runs can play on our minds and the value in having a betting network or support strategy of some kind, especially given the solitary nature of betting these days.

Remember - Betting when you win is easy - betting when you are losing is hard and lonely and this podcast is here to talk honestly about this oft-overlooked, yet essential topic that all punters, no matter how good they are must endure at times.

An interview with Spanish bettor, Miguel Figueres on his usage of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms to win money betting on Tennis.

Using the algorithm, Miguel grew a bank of 200 Euros into 8000 Euros with one bookmaker, which then led to him setting up the Hall of Fame rated service, Winner Odds for other users to back each of the value tennis bets his program uncovered.
