Internet betting is addictive ,controlled by syndicates - stay away! Posted: May 6, 2009 10:05 AM

With internet betting proliferating ,not only it sucks away the betting pool from Singapore Turf Club , it is also cultivating a growing list of gambling addicts.It is surprising that STC has not taken any measures to stop internet betting or work with the anti-gambling departments to stamp them out . A large percentage of the pool money has gone to internet betting with the easy terms and convenience of using it , charity money is lost and the Government's tax coffers are being robbed every week.

Now , let's talk about Internet betting operation for every punters' benefit. From the grapevine, the 3 major operators of Internet betting sit in conference every race day to make market for bettors. You can eat or bet through this when you have an account. All the entries in the eat or bet column of Aastar, E-sports,Citibet are inputted by the 3 operators . They can send false information out by controlling the Internet server , a sudden button to erase all tickets on a hot favourite horse will send a message that this syndicates are collecting tickets...so horse is not trying , punters seeing this signal , scramble to eat too and the dividend of this horse rises . Eventually horse wins race at handsome dividend to the laughter of these 3 market makers. But they can also be tricky, sometimes they send you a false info , heavy punting on a horse sending price of tickets soaring ($ 4.80 per tkt) and punters rush in to punt at high prices , then horse disappear ! All punters curse and swear. Their decisions to win or lose a race depends on the total number of tickets that punters put in , with their super computers , they can decide very promptly which way the results should go. Especially when they have trainers/jockeys in their payroll who work closely with them.

Very often , confusing and conflicting infos are sent through the internet betting screens to cause punters to make wrong decisions . When losses are incurred , punters get hot and in attempts to recover their losses , they bet bigger and in their confusing state of mind they make more bad decisions. Some of the punters that I met expressed regret that they lost their homes, family and life after being introduced to INTERNET BETTING ACCOUNTS !

For your own safety and your family's sake , stay away from this . If you like to take a bet , go to the STC booths and place your bets for the day. Go back home watch the race , win or lose that is the limit and NOT more . With INTERNET ACCOUNT , there is NO LIMIT , you go on and on with bigger bets and when the day is up , you have NO chance to recover. It is worst than OPIUM addiction .

Gambling suppression branch and STC should act to stop this dangerous epidemic , worst than H1N1 Flu.

You can also place bets with these websites, then log out and watch the race. It all boils down to discipline on money management. Without it, it doesn't really matter where you gamble.

Betting thru Spools means you are sponsoring charity? To me, it means you are paying thru the nose for slippage.

haha! Topic from warning against addictive internet horse betting becomes a kamlancheow challenge!:smile: No offence meant though! pse carry on with the kamlan.

But on a serious note, it's good advice really. My friend lost so heavily, he lost his family (divorced), his roof, his job but worse still, a bankrupt with no friends and no more dignity. Be forewarned!
