Why bet with Independent Bookies? - Every Winner Hits Them Harder.

When you cop a Lucky 15 or Yankee and win a nice few quid from one of the big corporation bookmakers or even Stoke's finest, you are missing out on a whole of satisfaction. Why? Because they don't care if you get a big one up, they've still got billions. No, it's much more satisfying to wallop an independent with your life-changing Saturday multiple. It's makes them sweat when it's running up and suffer financially when it lands. There's nothing better than beating an independent bookmaker. Here are four that I have affiliate deals with that I reckon you should try and wallop. 

Ben Keith - Star Sports

Ben has got plenty, most of it won from Billy Bunters. He lives in a very desirable London mansion block in a flat once owned by another bookmaker so virtually paid for through the centuries by losers. To make things worse, Ben eats out nearly every night, but even worse, he eats his tea in restaurants that you and I would have to work a week to afford, even if they'd let us in. Wouldn't you like to cut those meals out by backing a few winners with Benjamin? Of course you would. He's a friend of mine and won't mind you trying. You can open an account with Star Sports by following the link. Make that double dessert a memory. He's even offering a matched bet if a decent wager is on your menu. 

Anthony Kaminskas - AK Bets

Anthony, AK to most, is almost certainly richer than you, probably better looking and definitely thinks he's cleverer than you. Now AK used to be one of the good guys, a pro-punter, but jumped to the dark side, he's now a bookmaker. OK he's not all bad as he employs me on occasion to write betting ring blogs, he is a great judge and got that right. Talking about always being right, the good thing about someone so confident as AK is that they never think they're wrong, that's the chink in AK Bets armour, when they think that are right they'll stick it right up the opposition, especially in sports betting where AK Bets specialise. If you know your sport and think that they have made a rick, fill them in, AK doesn't like being wrong, you can smile as you count the readies in the sound knowledge someone somewhere at AK HQ is copping for his hump. Like the sound of that? Of course you do. 

James and David Lovell - The DragonBet

The DragonBet brothers, don't be put off by his angelic looks, James Lovell and his equally handsome but shadow lurking brother David are bookmakers and businessmen in no particular order. They'll smile at you and make happy videos from the racecourses of Wales and beyond, but they are wolves or should I say fire breathing reptiles in sheep's clothing. They may seem like relatively new kids on the block but these guys heave learned their trade from one of the best, their on-course bookmaking father John. The Lovell brothers have been taking on the clever punters in all weathers for decades, do not underestimate them when you wade in. Mind you, if you can land one on their soft underbelly it's going to hurt. They are so confident, they are offering 'free' money for you to have a go at beating them, make them pay.

Julian Head - BetGoodwin

Julian is a lovely fella, always charming, smiling and happy. He's often seen around Plumpton where he's good enough to sponsor, he's very affable and generous. That's because he's got all the money! How many horses have you got? Julian has got loads and they win big pots at the top courses. Now it's all very Good that our hero puts something back into the game, but he Wins too. Julian is one of those benevolent bookmakers that will give his punters all sorts of compensation when they do their dough to ease their pain in losing. He might be all smiley but if you get four up in a Yankee or Lucky 15 and he's got to pull up five or six figures that's going to sting, what would be better than knowing Julian is gazing through tear filled eyes into an empty hod as you are counting your readies. Nothing, is the answer you are looking for. 

So, here are my four to take on as we plough forward in our quest to beat the bookmakers. Bet with the independents who will seriously know about it if they have a bad day. This will make you feel even better, I only cop from this if you lose so if you do cop a good Lucky 15 or Footie accumulator up, that's my commission kyboshed too!  Good Luck.
