FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Who are you, Skeeve?
I'm a non-league betting advisor. I'm 29 years young, studied sociology, worked as a journalist, a copywriter and a screenwriter, but then became Skeeve full-time and haven't regret it so far. I could also tell you who are my favorite writers, directors and musicians, but that would be kinda off-topic, wouldn't it?

Are you any good?
Take a look at the stats. My long-term RoI is 14% and every season and calendar year so far was profitable. Both good and bad runs are perfectly normal, but I always have a last laugh. Hard work never gets unrewarded, especially in the long run. And other irritating catch-phrases.

So, you're covering the Blue Square leagues, right?
Right. I'm currently covering the Blue Square Premier and the Blue Square South.


Why Blue Square leagues? Why not Premiership, Championship, Swedish hockey, Ukranian volleyball?
Because I've been following the English non-league world for quite a few years now and the fact is that bookmakers can't keep up with all the non-league news (transfers, injuries, suspensions, work commitments, financial problems... It's never boring in the non-league world) all the time - it's either that or some terrible odds compiling. I'm a hard worker and a long-term winner and that's something I wouldn't want to change, so I'll stick with the Blue Square leagues for now - those I know best.

What are your stakes? Are you using a 1-10 units scale?
I'm currently using a 1-5 units scale and my average stake is a bit more than 3.5 units.

How big of a betting bank do you reccomend? 

80 units should be more than enough.

Are you making these stats up? Who can guarantee these are actually the right stats?
I was posting my non-league picks & previews for free between December 2006 and October 2007 – on my blog, on the Betting Advice forum, on the Punters' Paradise forum (I was a resident tipster there), on the Laka Lovica forum (I was a moderator there)... All the picks since the service became paid (October 2007) have been independently monitored and verified, by the superb Secret Betting Club since March 2008 and by the highly rated Betting Advice surveillance team from October 2007 to May 2010.

What about your picks? Do they come with a match preview or are they just plain picks?
All of my picks come with a detailed match preview. I'll even find out where you can find the best odds, second best odds and in fact any odds that in my opinion have value at that moment.

Are you familiar with the term 'customer service'?
Yes. I'm proud of my customer service, no one's had any complaints so far.

Which bookmakers are you using?
188bet, Bet365, Bwin, Coral, Ladbrokes, Mansion88, Pinnacle, SBO and Will Hill. You can find even better odds at other less known bookmakers very often though.

Bookmaker X have restricted me, I can only stake X Euros/Pounds per bet. What should I do?
Yes, some bookmakers will restrict you sooner than others. I've been severely restricted and even had accounts closed at a lot of bookmakers that aren't on the list (above) anymore (Victor Chandler, StanJames, Blue Square...) or they never have been (BoyleSports, BetFred, 10Bet, Unibet, Begawin...) and some of the bookmakers that are on the list aren't really ideal, but there are ways. Join as many bookmakers you can, take their bonuses, spread your stakes... Btw asian bookmakers are regularly covering the Blue Square Premier league (and in 2010 started to cover the Blue Square South league as well) and they won't limit you like some of the 'bigger names' in the business.

When are you usually sending the picks? Do I have to be online 24 hours a day?
Friday, 8 PM.

What are your bets? 1X2? Asian handicaps?
Most of them are asian handicaps (and asian over/unders), but some of them (doubles, long-term bets, ad-hoc draw-no-bets...) obviously aren't.

What is an asian handicap?
Google is your friend.

Ad-hoc draw-no-bet? What the hell is that?
It's an improvised draw-no-bet. For example, I stake three units on an away win and one unit on a draw which means we only lose half a unit or even less if the match ends with a draw. I improvise draw-no-bets only if asian handicaps for that particular game aren't available.

Okay, can I join?
Well no, not straight away of course. I've decided to limit the number of clients so that I can protect the odds for a limited number of people. The membership list is currently closed, but I can put you on the waiting list if it's open (it's not, at least at the moment).

But I can offer you more money. Please let me join straight away.
No.

Do I have to have a Moneybookers account to subscribe?
No, all you need is a credit card.

Where can I compare the odds?
I use OddsOddsOdds, OddsComparison and OddsPortal.

Would you be interested in exchanging some clients? My service has about 2000 clients that has paid atleast once to our service. Would you be interested in trading client email list so that we both can benefit in our business. It is a good opportunity for both our clients and us as well. Let me know if you are interested. We can both get lot of extra exposure and sales by doing this. Please get back to me and let me know what you think. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A MORAL DILEMMA WITH THIS METHOD BUT AS LONG AS WE DONT SPAM IRRESPONSIBLY IT SHOULD BE OK. WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO GET SOME EXTRA CLIENTS.
Please don't ever contact me again. A moral dilemma? Not really, no.

Do you want buy fix match? It's 1000% true, no scam, I make many mony on this. Trust me.

F*** off.

I have more questions.
Good. Don't hesitate to ask.
