People selling bets to gamblers.

[Jubilee58]

Personally, I have witnessed this several times, and it has even happened to me, so i have decided to bring this topic here to deliberate how convenient it is to buy game from people, and also to share ideas, and experience here.

On a very good day someone came to me , and claim to have a sure draw, he said, he doesn't gamble but wanted to help me with those draws, and he asked me to give him some money. He also asked me to play the game with good amount of money that it will definitely be successful.I gave him some money, and placed this game on bet, guess what, this draws failed. I know other gamblers must have encountered this kind of situation too.

As gamblers, If you have encountered this situation, how did you handle it, and what would you advice.

So that is basically a face-to-face and classical version if tipster scams. I assume you never saw that person again after the results came in and you realized you lose your money. Had you won money with that draw, I am quite sure that person would have appeared in front of you again to ask you more money.

It is quite easy to deal with those kind of scams, actually, all one needs to do is use common sense: there is no any valid reason for someone who is very good at sport betting and has managed to stack a lot of money to sell their own predictions to strangers.

Actual professional gamblers keep their picks to themselves of people within their inner circle.

It is a complete scam.

I have seen people this happened to before. I am referring to people that I know. One of them seek for my advise few years ago about it and I told him it is a scam. He did not believe, but he was scammed and he learn.

Anytime you see something like that, it is a scam.

What assurance did he made for you to convinced on what he said? I won't give to him the money if the bet failed, that should always be the condition, or he will cover the losses if the bet failed. There's no way i will trust someone telling me to bet this to win, unless its just a local game and he has connection for the games to be rigged lol

[Perfectbaby]

First as a Gamblers you shouldn't be that depending on tipsters to have game and also book your bet. Actually there are people who doesn't care to know where the games are coming from but are being blindfolded with what they would be winning from the bet. Could you also listen to yourself?

You said someone walked up to you to collect his games that he has done analysis without you knowing that he may not be completely right on his predictions but are just looking for cool way to extract money from your hands. I have also witnessed same people where they would walked up to you saying that they have sure games that it would play all without them knowing that those people are look for easiest way for them to beg money from you.

But as that games are being introduced you would be excited because you thought you would win that amount that what you gave him is less compared to with you would be gaining after the game might have to an end, but later run when the game didn't play you would start regretting for you to be fooled by allowing someone to come just give you random games with the hope for him siphon money from you.

[Ronsbit]

OP, in the first place, did you not ask the person why he too did not use his money to bet on the game, because I am very sure if it was a sure game, he would not want to tell anybody based on the normal human nature, and he would likely keep such information to himself. That act of his alone should tell you that he is a scammer, and in the end, the game did not play, and I hope you collected your money back from him because what he did was a fraudulent act, as he knew his odds were fake, but just wanted to extort money from you. I do not think I can fall for such a scammer who can not bet their odds but to go about selling fake odds to people. I am sure you are not the only one he has approached to sell such odds for.

[Frankolala]

Lolz...what made you believe that it was a sure draw. I see this style as another way for people to get out money from gamblers pocket because they know that you're a gambler ans and will definitely love to make profits. I don't believe in anyone that says he has a sure bet for sale. I see them as unprofessional gamblers because to make profits in gambling is by luck and there's nothing like a sure bet.

If I have extra money, I wouldn't mind buying such game to try luck. What I will never do is to take any serious risk under such arrangement because I work with my budget and no matter how they sugarcoat their talks, I will not go beyond my budget after all, the first time betting their game should be to test their source of game.

In my early days as a gambler, I have been in this situation where someone approached me with a game he is convinced would work, unfortunately, the game failed. Consequently, I have not been interested in anything like, although no one have approached me with such things probably because I bet mostly online. But as it has been long I tried game predicted by another person, if I get such offer I may try once again.

If he is not a gambler, how did he come about the bet codes, because you should be worried about his level of awareness about gambling instead of just taking his word for it, like saying that he wants to help you.

Ask yourself whether he needs money also, so why is he not betting on those games to make those promised winnings, this should be considered.

I was once a victim of that sure bet scam before,  I even paid to get the codes, this made me feel so bad when I finally lost everything, so there is no sure game anywhere.

Except you are part of a match fixing ring there is no way to know  with 100% certainty how a game will play out. It's impossible that many of those that offer certain bets for sale are all involved in match fixing, they most likely all aren't, as those involved have enough to place the bets without needing to sell the games and risk exposure.

They are all scams. Some may be good enough to get some games right, but if they are giving you full guarantee, it's a scam.

[Davidvictorson]

Does anyone notice how the risk shifts to buyer , they ultimately now bears it. It’s ridiculous because gambling is a game of luck but in this case it becomes a bit psychologically complicated as the buyer may now trust the seller if the game ends in a win instead of attributing it to luck. Those who sell bets are the same as those who ask people to pay to teach them trading- if they were successful at it and making lots of money as they claim, they wouldn’t need to venture into selling of their services. I guess I am not the only one who sees it this way.

[Sammye3]

The worst options I would ever play are draws because they have the slightest possibility for a win, the option is too rigid that a single goal could cut the ticket. I had same encounter as well, only that I did not go through with the game, and the game failed. I would choose playing 1X2 over draws over and over again.

That time for buying games is over,  there is no sure game, all is based on luck and nothing more. I would rather bet on my terms than buy games from an online vendor.

[Questat]

If I were on your shoe, I would still bet on it but on a very small amount, but I will never give him some amount, until the result has not come out. He's a total stranger, and you don't even know if his bets are really profitable, so you should make some conditions and only pay him if his bet hits a win, if not then hell got nothing.

Or I'll stick with what I'm good at, I won't bite his offer. This is gambling, no one gets the edge over the house, not even him. I'll just ignore him then.

I haven't really encountered such situations though. It's similar to paying on a so called signal group to get betting odds which to me I don't see the use of. I don't like having blame my looses on some. When the game isn't from my analysis I get worried even before the game goes half way. That's why i rather play my bets and lose them than take someone else game to bet on. But it's weird for you to trust a stranger because they promised that they have sure games for you. Don't you think it's was a bit reckless. Be probably never analysed any game and just wanted to steal money from you. It's best next time not to listen to such people no matter how good they try to sell their games they end up being scam.

[Hazink]

Since this is different from the tipster we see, especially on telegrams trying to sell games, this one came face to face. Since you tried to trust the guy could have collected some evidence to use against him, even as it was stupid to trust him in the first place with the right evidence, you can take legal action against him this is a scam an obvious obtaining by trick.

[Finestream]

Paying him is your biggest mistake. It's okay to take a bet from others, but giving him money without assurance if his bet will be lucky enough, that's so naive of you. You should have turned down his offer and bet on your own terms instead.

This is not new to me as I have heard news about this even before. But as a gambler, I have always believed in the fact that gambling is all about probability, and no gets certain what will be the next betting outcome. I could possibly put some small money on his game, but I will never pay him a dime, otherwise I already fall on his trap before the game even started.

It’s a tough lesson to learn, but you are definitely not alone. Many bettors have been approached by these "sure-draw" peddlers. In the industry, they’re often called "touts" or "scammers," and their strategy is built on a simple trick of probability. When you move your strategy to Bitcoin-betting, you naturally start thinking more like a professional and less like a target for scammers.

Actually someone has referred me to a gambling telegram predicting group before, and what they does in that group is to predict game to a subscribers, so why been in that group until I left the group i haven't win any game....So such experience made me, i don't believe on prediction of a social media...

On a very good day someone came to me , and claim to have a sure draw, he said, he doesn't gamble but wanted to help me with those draws, and he asked me to give him some money.

This is to tell you that anything that has to do with prediction, is not guaranteed, and if you're engaging on it, you have to be extremely careful, I can't because of I bought a prediction game from a source and I go ahead and stake big amount of money because I heard it's a sure game, in this situation, if  you have a predicted games, make sure that you cross checked them and repredict it to your test..

The mere phrase "sure draw" prove a lie. If he were so confident in the bet, he would certainly seek out any means necessary to do it alone. Because, he sure about that, but what is the reality? He is a liar, and his prediction is wrong.

Basically, there are no guarantees or certainties in gambling (let alone guaranteed wins); everything is merely predictions, and the outcome isn't necessarily true. Therefore, don't listen to people who claim to be "sure" in betting; they are "definitely lying."

Personally, I would ask such people for proof of their winnings. I am sure such liars can't prove it, and they will just come up with some ridiculous excuse. So, just walk away, and don't listen to anything they say. I am sure they are just trying to take advantage of you. and want free money.

[Maslate]

It's certainly a scam. He won't dare to sell it if he knows its a sure draw. Instead, he will keep it on his own and place a bigger bet secretly so he can make maximum win. But selling it to make instant money is a form of scam, he will make a profit while leaving the victim suffer the loss, most especially if the victim gets convinced to place a bigger amount of bet.

If it happens to me, I will never consider buying it. I trust my own, more than other scammers around. But unfortunately, newbies still fall on this kind of scam due to greed for instant profits.
