Very power! I was in the company of some of these chaps when they placed soccer bets last time - before SBOBET and IBCBET. You must listen carefully when they ask for odds and place bets. Coz all their chosen teams never heard of, coz of theor pronunciation and nicknames given for their teams. And they were betting 10k, 15k, 20k!!!

marcelos boy, I think bet $10 kpkb like betting his life. He has yet to witness the big snake pang sai. He is just a toad in a well.

wah the old uncle so power ah 20k bet just bet on the team that he cannot pronounce. If it was me betting 20k and the name of the team was in some african click language or some weird sounding name i would make sure i know how to pronounce that name properly before placing my bet.

The irony is the bookies understood which teams the uncles were betting on.

My dad was a horse racing bookie for decades without knowing most of the horses' names. A few more prominent horses, jockeys, trainers and owners he knew, but when it came to bet-taking, it was always about race number, horse number, odds and actuarial ledger adjustments. Of course, with same red flags tagged on tip-offs. Technical analysis equivalent to stock trading, who cares what the stocks are, look at the charts.

Horse racing easier compared to soccer betting. For horse racing, like you mentioned above - race and horse number. For soccer, too many matches - EPL, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portugal, and many more. Very confusing for the bookies and punters.

A friend of mine recently narrated to me what happened over his numerous bets. He calculated his bets for the week- lost. On Monday, bookie informed him he won overall.

Puzzled, they went through all the bets and realised the bookie made a wrong entry which turned out to be a winner for my friend. Had the bookie taken the right match, my friend would have lost. My friend england speaking, bookie hokkien beng.
