Jaack here, I don't know how many people are reading this but I'd just like to say another thank you, so so much, for your constant support on this channel. It never ever goes unnoticed. Fiona has been working her little arse off recently to get these out - as we're currently in London for some other work. Please drop a little comment below and let us know who you want to see on the pod and I'll try make it happen! 🇳🇺
You should try and get bo burnham on
Should try get Joey Diaz on one day would be the best one yet
Ally mccoist
Having Jack’s cousin on one of the Monday pods would be great
Alex Scott would be good
2 and half months free of gambling.. toughest few days with euros being on and royal ascot being around.. feel much better
Go on mate! You’re doing great
@@CorridorJ cheers bro 👍 Mrs says I'm much happier aswell 👌
One bet on wales winning the tournie won’t hurt

Keep it up mate !
I won 3.3k off a 50 quid acca when I put France to win the World Cup in 2018. That was my biggest high gambling but lost close to 30k. Was heavy into it constantly looking at my phone or at work betting on random games. I knew I had to change as was gonna overdose or jump off a bridge to kill myself, Im now 1 year clean and enjoying football more than ever!
Congratulations mate 👏
Well done :)))
well in
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Respect brother 🙏
When you see a betting advert it says " When the FUN stops, stop". Making sure the word fun is in capital letters, or bigger writing, so it stands out more
Well spotted I never noticed that before it should be "STOP" . Fly bastard's

I did “courtsiding” when I lived in Japan. Bet on J-League 1, 2 and 3 for 5/6 games before the app clocked on. Made a few hundred quid. Just used a VPN and bingo. Had the next goals for both teams queued up and placed when the goals went in.
The bookie always wins. Lots of things happens behind the scenes. Ultimately the betting companies prey on the desperate or those suffering with the addiction. I used to be one
Yep it’s disgusting. Why I’ve never spent a penny on a bet
The bookies definitely don’t always win if you have an advantage
@@jakemarshall666 Course they do. They limit anyone’s account who know what they’re doing. And they prey on the vulnerable as Mark said
@@jonny4866 THATS WHY YOU SHOULD USE EXCHANGES NO LIMITS EVER THERE
At the end of the day they're there to make money. They're not there to throw free money out like their adverts perceive
I’m 4 months free of no betting in my life and I’ve never felt better 👌🏻
Keep up the good work .. and reward yourself for your efforts 👍👍👍
Reward your self with a free bet 🤣
I absolutely love Lloyd as a comedian. Seems like such a great bloke listening to him here. Gambling is a crippling addiction and it’s nice to hear chats like this
Great clip this, appreciate the little editing bits like the definition pop up. Please don’t bet guys and girls. You can’t win.
The documentary was actually very good and interesting to see how addictive it is.
Love the podcast boys keep it going
Goshen in the triumph at Cheltenham springs to mind haha
Wow that part @ 8:20. I really enjoyed that doc. Thought the betting companies would've blacklisted him. They didn't even care.
There's a reason why you will never see a bookies go out of business or close.
Love loyd Griffes

Yeah the whole edge thing is bang on. I know someone who played ice hockey professionally and he was banned from betting on all Hockey markets. So he made an account in his wifes name. There is no level playing field
Its really crazy how addictions like gambling and boozing are always so glamorous on TV and Instagram, yet like these lads said, the movies and social media posts never show the wrecked families and home lives of these addicts.
That horse story at the end reminded me of the monoghan boy in s1 of peaky blinders, suspicious indeed
How many times have you heard your friends talk about a crazy accumulator that was one goal or one game off being a huge winner.
They're the bets the bookies want to take mug bets from mug punters try opening a new account when you know what you're doing and have couple of horse wins with £30/£40 on and try doing it a third time your account will be restricted that's how the always win
“You’re not funding the school or hospital in your local area” no one is, pal. That’s why we should all strive to avoid tax. The Government will throw it away to their mates with contracts or lazy people who can’t be bothered to work. Then they punish everyone else for working hard. This country is going down hill FAST and we all need an exit strategy
Lloyd the god!
You know you've got issues when you tell someone how much you've won but are guarded over how much you've lost.
Can you guys make more about urban legends? and true crime storys?
betting on scottish reserves is a quick way to get your account limited, also bookies wont take much stakes on games like that, 50/100 maybe but thats not big stakes and soon after 1 or two on reserves itll be 10quid max etc, its all about longevity in this game, being limited in 4 bets is what you need to avoid.
After spending time some time living outside the UK one of the things I immediately noticed when I come back was gambling is advertised a ridiculous amount even when I don't bet I still get targeted online consistently and its always on the tv
I don’t know if it’d be doable but your audience would love to see Bo Burnham just as much as you’d like him in the studio! Would like to hear you guys talk about ‘Inside’ whether Bo is there or not though, film club resurgence?
That would be one of our dream guests!
Love the vids :)
Being vague cos am no grass, I had a late night gig in a quite place years ago and two blokes absolutely coked off their heads started chatting shite to me, they where both obviously not local so I asked them what they where doing here and they kept giving me weird cryptic answers like they wanted to brag because they where smashed but knew they shouldn't. He said turn on channel 499 at 6pm on Friday and you'll see, at that point I thought they where going to rob a bank or something and it would be a news channel at the time. Later on they wrote down a list which was basically 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 and said there you go nice tip for you. Turns out that channel was some weird shit sports channel like Premier Sports or something and one of them was playing in some weird niche sport and it was fixed. I never managed to bet on it because I could only find betting on some weird site and it didn't go up until a few hours before it started.
I used to be part of a gambling syndicate which made tens of thousands by exploiting bonus deals and online casino games where the odds are slightly in your favour (blackjack and poker). They've tightened down on it a lot over the last ten years and now it's all but impossible to make any real money, even back in the day it only worked because we were using hundreds of accounts and had enough of a cash float to cover the days where the odds just didn't fall in our favour for whatever reason. Fun times, I only made a couple of grand over the course of a year steady income for little-to-no effort but I know the guys who were running the bots and floating the accounts made really good money by abusing the legally grey areas of the market at the time.
that horse is 100% goshen jack
Easy answer. Don’t ever bet 🤙🏻
No matter how much of a big win you might hit in the end you will lose more than you make. I use to gamble every angle, horses, dogs, football accas, poker games and spins. My misses ended up leaving me I lost a couple of good friends through arguments because all I cared about was gambling and once it grips you it's not even about the money it's the buzz it gives you but ultimately that is what the bookies prey on.
Poker is the one game that is acceptable imo because if you lose money in the long term and across your time of playing poker. You are just a bad player or make the same mistake of continuing playing players that are better than you
@@Heizzer47 I'll agree to an extent on that. Out of that list poker is the only one that is really skilled based, the horses, dogs, football and other sports are calculated guesses on what should happen. Like team A should beat team B almost every time, but we both know there's always the chance team B can win. Same with the dogs/horses, everyone can pick the race favorite but sometimes the outside dog/horse can win. Poker is skill based, from your cards, cards on the board, betting behavior from other players you can work out what's going on 9/10 if you're a good player and when you know you got the nuts you got the nuts no surprise come back from the other player. But anyway for anyone else reading this always remember just gamble with what you can afford to lose. Gambling is not a quick rich scheme.
I've made 5 grand from betting but have unfortunately been banned from all the major bookies
When you're winning you want to win more. When you're losing you want to win back your losses.
True, it becomes more exciting trying to win back the losses. I almost went out there specifically to do that, it’s not really about the money, more the act.
Should only bet for enjoyment but if win its a bonus always bet on football on the weekend but if i lose i stop until next weekend i do it for enjoyment
I fight a gambling addiction every day
I'm wondering if you could balance profit and loss by making large bets and making bets you know will lose/low chance of winning to trick the algorithm but still make a healthy profit.
Some professionals do that, but it's a lot of work
I LOVE GAMBLING
Was the horse that you bet on a fell goshen?
money moves
I limit myself to £25 a month and if I cash out a few hundred I stick to the rules I have. If your gambling your house that’s something I couldn’t comprehend. Good luck to anyone suffering with any addiction. 🙏
I saw this on a bbc yt vid or smth
Im a compulsive gambler, im over 2 years free of a bet, i don’t thing gambling is the problem, im the one with the problem, yeah i do believe more should be put in place to really show the dangers of gambling but for people to recieve backlash for doing an advert, i think that is a bit far, fair play for recognising that it isnt as fun as its made out to be, i can assure you its not
dont gamble kids

You may want to research 'matched betting'
Knowing some of these clips, it probably won't reach the subject of the title until 7 minutes in and the answer will just be "no"
yeah i see it last second betting. getting paid out is a different challenge.
Matched betting.
That's only a short term thing though. Not like you're gunna make a living match betting even with 10 accounts
@@ooo-rl7zt There are people that make 50k+ a year. Not sure what you mean by 10 accounts because there are 100s of bookie websites out there.
When I tell people that the bookies will not take my bets they don't believe me so I show them the emails that have been sent to me informing me they no longer will take my bets.
I been gambling for the last 14 years it has been a headache
Lol not paying tax isn’t really a put off.
So many people in the comments saying the bookies are the only winners. This may be the case for 97% of punters, but the other 3% are made up of part-time and full-time professional gamblers who can win. You need to to put the work in, have extreme discipline, and either be able to make it work on the exchange or have lot of mates to use their accounts instead whilst using a VPN.
yes but they won't use a bookies odds they will bet in an exchange where the odds are far more reflective of the outcome, bookies are the only winners because their business model is mathematically build to fleece people long term by offering lower odds and instead the offer promotions to attract customers and to compensate for the poor value they offer, which they eventually remove from the users account
Make the most of it now. Bookies are wise to this and they'll ban VPNs as soon as they can be bothered.
@@samuelloification2749 that’s ok I don’t use a VPN and never had and I operate 20 sets of accounts
Anyone know where I can sell my account to a pro gambler?

They maybe just didn’t understand the scale of the problem, which is fair
I band from betbair for “money laundering” 🤣🤣🤣
Odds are way too low for whats needed to happpen
Betting exchanges are a far better way to beat the bookies
Lot easier to beat fixed odds bookmakers than the machine mate
Incredibly hard to make money on exchanges
how? except from small commission the odds are far better than bookies
@@craig-jc3791 pricing far more efficient. Many ways to capitalise on bookmaker inefficiencies and latency without any real pricing ability
fair enough but what makes bookies win in the long run is the percentage they take off the odds, no matter which outcome leads to profit for them, which I’m sure you already know. On the exchange, as you said the market is efficient. It is possible to win long term
Even though I still made 700 from bets and left it I still think it’s the worst toxic thing
glad you did that, i remember being 18 winning £9k in overall profit, im 24 now and around 200k down :)

Why
Why is this knob crying about people not paying tax?
I know, A guy my dad knee didn’t pay tax and instead he would very generously tip people in low paid jobs so the bar tender with 3 kids who never gets to go on a night out herself he would tip £100 or when he went to a cafe £50 wouldnt be out the ordinary to tip when he’s just had a cup of tea, also never met someone who gets better service than him lol
It’s a naive point of view, but it’s understandable. He thinks taxes are spent well by local councils to fund schools, hospitals and such. It’s romantic. Most people know they’re spent on the wages of useless, bent councillors to buy 2nd and 3rd homes in places like Cornwall and Monaco. But, Lloyds heart is in the right place, bless him.
You can’t beat the bookies. I dipped my toe in the water and came out with a loss despite winning some big bets. Even if you bet on sports you are expert on, you are going to lose money. I have been addicted to betting but it’s dangerous and I can see how people can lose a lot of money.
yeah you can, just because you didn't win doesn't mean it's unbeatable.
@@FraggerM8 long term it is unbeatable because you're being given lower odds by the bookie than the true odds of that particular outcome happening. the easiest explanation is a coin flip is odds of 2.0 so bet a tenner and if it wins you win a tenner and get your original stake back and if it loses you lose a tenner, but a bookie will give you odds of 1.9 so every time you win the bet you get £9 profit and every time you lose the bet you lose £10....in the long term statistically the amount of times you land heads will match the amount of times you land tails (it may take 10000 coin flips or even more but eventually it will) so basically the amount of times you win matches the amount of times you lose so your long term loss based on 10000 coinflips would be 5000 x £9 = £45000 in winnings and 5000 x £10 = £50000 in losses so a total loss of £5000 loss in the long term because the value you're getting in the bet is considerably less than it should be
@@paulb17110 of course it's beatable, I bet fulltime for 4 years but eventually they will just limit your betting account. The bookies don't have the exact correct odds on things happening obviously, and on lower sports like esports (what I was betting on to win) they are even less familiar. If you're betting on top tier football you will have an extremely difficult time and 99.9% of people probably lose on that long term. But there is winners, that's why limiting sharp accounts is a practice nearly all bookmakers use.
@@FraggerM8 beating the bookie would surely involve not getting your account banned/limited though lol. They limit your account, they have beaten you. The only way you can truly beat the bookie is by breaking their T's and C's and having an endless stream of new accounts you can set up, the bookie doesn't play fair but they expect the punter to
@@paulb17110 I was just responding to your point heads/tails analogy because it didn't make sense. Yes they will limit every winning customer, yes the standard for winning players is to buy accounts/use family accounts.
