In the latest Smart Betting Club podcast, SBC Editor, Pete was joined by Rowan Day for a new 'Betting Clever' episode with plenty of talking points on the agenda.
First of all, we discussed the news that the dates for Smart Bash 2025 have been announced - the 3rd and 4th July 2025 and once again it will be held at Chelsea FC in London. We discuss the additional plans for the 2025 event based on feedback received including a new 'Workshop' Day.
Next, it was time for betting chat with both Racing and Golf explored, starting with the former and the excellent results achieved by Rowan using various SBC golf strategies and tipsters so far this year. We also then unpacked the large review of Tilt The Odds as published in SBC 148 and just who this busy racing strategy service would be suitable for and the challenges of betting on the sport of kings these days.
All of which followed nicely onto the story of Phil Smith and the viral tweets we put out regarding his Skybet betting account which was suspended without explanation for 8 weeks before a complete closure. This dreadful case sums up so many of the issues we continue to hear about as regards the increase in bookmaker disputes, as punters suffer due to a lack of a proper ombudsman and a regulator that refuses to take action.
Finally we also explored the new Syndicate Edge service from SBC, what it was inspired by and why its actually providing genuine Syndicate-level goalscoring bets for people to follow in.
