Comedian and football presenter Lloyd Griffith embarks on an experiment to find out if he can uncover the secrets of gambling success and the truth about the industry. Armed with some cash and a dangerously small amount of gambling nous, Lloyd attempts to double his money, taking tips from professional gamblers who share their secrets, and academics who think they’ve exposed the tricks of the trade and uncovered a way to make a living from gambling.

The bookies have been robbing poor people for years, so in my opinion if your scamming bookies you're a legend

Mate, I wouldn’t worry. The other way of winning money 100% of the time (guaranteed) has been ‘out the bag’ for years (I’m sure you’re aware of it 😉), but it’s still happening & people are still blown-away when they learn about it. The great thing is, although Bookies frown upon it, there’s very little they can do about it 😂

@@anthonycarlin3452 yeh thats the way forward stil
I don't believe they ban you unless you're regularly winning thousands. The fact they're even allowed to ban you for no breach of the rules is disgraceful anyway. Probably better to use the shops as opposed to online.
@@elastronaute1198 do they ever not pay your winnings even with a ban?
@@XaphillyatedX no they will always pay winnings of bets placed before you're banned/restricted. Along with paying back the balance of the account back to the registered payment source if the account is completely closed, in my experience.

I have no sympathy for bookies at all. Scam them all you like, the more the better since that’s what they do all day
How do bookies scam you?
you know the rules, they know the rules.
Depending on the game, you know the odds, they know the odds.
There is no scam, just you being bad at math... and in live games like this, bookies being bad at locking out bets on time..
@@MoonLiteNite disagree to be honest because the bookies are pretty predatory about making people gamble.
Gambling is a fools game. If you gamble, it's your own fault.
I work in a bookies, want to explain how allowing people to come in of there own free will, choose an event, a time, runner and then choosing how much to lay and choosing to accept the odds offered is scamming? LOL its like saying Tesco is scamming people by selling beans 10p dearer than aldi, if people choose to enter the store and choose that product at that price its not a scam.
There not scamming anyone, everyone knows the risk.
He's selling his secret because the market is saturated with court siders and probably isn't lucrative enough anymore. Bookies are probably quick to suspend accounts too these days. He says you can't do Europe for that reason. It's great to see someone getting one over on the bookies though!
More likely because it's simple to fix, just void all bets that took place after a certain time.
@@KiLLJoYRUclips the problem they have are slow umpires who take to long to record the score, is used to be done with horse racing a lot and delay with servers across the world. But if you placed constant bets 1 second before the point is called they will just suspend your account, take your money and say your were cheating. They have spent millions on bots to record and catch these people. Would only work on matched betting and im not sure if they do points, or enough people bet to cover your money on a point by point basis.
@@KiLLJoYRUclips They cant void the bets, not how it works.
@@KiLLJoYRUclips That would be illegal.
@@-music2023 no they cant, it's a contract, they cant just void bets.
Bookies deserve it they’ve been doing folk for years
@Jon Cocks Think he means how they take advantage of people, whether they be drunk or in a bad way they will let them lose, but as soon as they win they kick them out. It's a shit system and they're allowed to get away with it.
@Jon Cocks I understand most are chasing a win they will never get, but I come from quite a down place and seen many of people fall into it. I guess I just have an emotional way of looking at it... I do understand your point tho and I agree, people also do have to take some responsibility.

I was a manager for a bookies in the UK, a famous house hold bookies, one day on a busy Saturday afternoon we had a call from security saying we needed to ask the person on the FOBT (betting machines) to leave, don't tell him why, just he has to leave.. (security monitor FOBT machines, store cameras and listening devices remotely.) thought it was odd but did it anyway... The guy, without saying a word, just left, I was expecting an argument obviously. Turns out the was a hack for one of the games that would always guarantee hitting a win.

I love how you can hear people playing tennis in the bk during the phone call loool
"FAULT!"
Very similar to the old system for gambling on snooker, but now it has changed. You can still bet on individual frames but the bet has to be placed before it starts in the real time, this has actually been great for the integrity of the game as there is drastically less match fixing. You used to be able to put large sums of money on a player who's opponent has just missed a shot and left them on and easy for a certain clearance and the odds would only change when the balls had completely stopped moving. Unfortunately for the punters, it's a thing of the past.
Great for the "integrity of the game...LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's a bit different if you've got a significant advantage over the house, and in this case, the risk is either winning the money or having the bet cancelled. You can't lose unless there was a mess up in communication.
Yep, but it's all the bookies fault that these morons can't control their own habits and addictions....

I really love this video where there's nothing illegal about it. And they have just outsmarted the gambling firms.
No, you ruin your own lives because your all addicts and don't know when to stop. I'm a bookmaker and there's nothing funnier than pathetic idiots like you who can't control your own habits so blame it on us and the "magic button" you freaks think we have under the desk.

I assume they had this set up for publication, but waited until the bookies realized the loophole and fixed it, and then published it(after a huge profit).
They’ve know about it for a long time the profit they make from point betting outweighs the money they lose. But with more people knowing about it profit will certainty go down but they will still be in the Ups from point betting
I quite like that dude. A middle finger up at those who exploited him.
I'd like to hear a decent explanation of why Betfair leave (non-VAR) games suspended so long after a goal is scored. There have been a bunch of Leeds games this season where they've supsended it for 4 minutes !
Good on these guys for exploiting this loophole and making lots of money!

I was a courtsider a few years ago( at the game with the headset calling out the points). Did a few basketball games in the British Basketball League. I never really understood what the information being passed was being used for nor was i ever told. Now it makes sense. I was making £25 a game, which I thought wasn't bad at the time. Looking back, I was obviously being a bit short changed!

@@eprep9745 I didn't do the betting part so im not sure, I just called out the points as the ball went into the basket eg. 2 points Team A, or 3 points Team A... whoever was on the end of the line must have taken that exact bet and taken advantage of the slight scoreboard delay, like shown in this video.

Soz dad! ☹️
many years ago, got my bets delayed by a betting company as they were probably suspicious ......so my betting time went from 3 seconds to 15 seconds !!! I jumped from £250 to nearly £4000 within 2 months ! all i was doing was watching football games live and bet when I felt a goal would more likely to happen. Some of my bets got right sometimes within 1 or 2 seconds of my bet. I was not doing anything wrong but because i was a winner they wanted to cheat me !!! I made one complaint to them about one bet they canceled then they suspended my account !!! small betting companies are cheating their clients !!! but they are very happy to take from big losers !!! of course gambling commissions are closing the blind eye on what is happening !!!

This is brilliant. Really wish it wasn't as much hassle though as I would have a new career 😂
Maybe they should have covered the lingo/terminology in person before hand.
I was thinking that, lol thought that's why they were at the tennis courts to practice
A mate of mine would go in the bookies and write out a load of slips for first goal scorer, 1 ear bud connected to a tiny radio. He would get the first scorer put the bet on before the bookies had a chance to update the system. But it didn't take long for them to catch on.
It only takes the first 2/3 bets on a new bookies account for them to realise you know what you are doing, your max bet is then restricted to £0.20 (they don’t close your account as they hope you will lose all your money on their casino) stuff like this works in theory but good luck trying to pulling it off.
Stuff like this only works in theory, except for the bit in the video where they win thousands of pounds.
It worked here, but imagine the level of commitment you’d need to be successful. The guy even said how much he spends in expenses just travelling round trying to find the right game/umpire.

Used to do this but by watching via analogue, bookies used digital, which was a few seconds delayed 😂
This is crazy. Umpires could make so much by “fixing” games by not putting the score in quickly on certain points
im pretty sure when it comes to cashing out, these bookies will just hold the winnings..... theyll have flags set up, like when youre betting late and winning on 20 consecutive server win points 🤷🏾♂️ i worked in the gaming industry for a long time and they dont like paying out 😂
@@vendettarisingthats why he likely mentioned massive costs. They likely have to pepper heaps of bets around "fairly" on other points to and lose some on that edge.
Then also likely set up new accounts ti be cashed out to.
You're right, betting companies will look for any clause to not pay out.

In tennis the odds of a player breaking a set are way lower then the server holding a point so if a player goes up 40-15 on the break the odds will be decent if you bet on the person who has 40 in the game since they are not the person serving and can easily still lose the point. These guys are betting on the person who is up 40-30 40-15 40-0 etc the moment they win the game before the person umping can transmit the point.
