    A shill is someone who poses as a regular gambler when in fact they work for a bookie. They post praise for their book, pretending to be a satisfied customer, in the hope it will get others to use that book too.

    Shills are generally the sign of a bad book - a good book won't need to rely on such tactics as their good reputation will encourage custom.

    Obvious shills tend to differ from genuine satisfied customers in that:
    1) They will often only post about that one book
    2) They will tend to appear in every thread about that book
    3) They often try and dismiss negative claims from other users as either the players fault or flat out untrue
    4) They will also insult people who express a negative opinion of that book.

    Yep, we have all seen them around. Whats funny is that they are not even smart about it, they are completely blatant. They may as well be an spam that pop up fecking everywhere!
    They near always go something along these lines:

    "Hey, everyone should check out this sportsbook I joined, imashill.com, 1000% sign up bonus. BEST ODDS I have seen on every sport I know. Don't be worried about withdrawals because they are lightning fast .They also have hip, cool ,friendly and sexy Customer service that are just ready to pounce on you Don't be square, CHECK THEM OUT NOW. WOOOOOOOO!!! "


    Ok, may be not percisely as above but you get my drift!

    jasont50, i have a very izi answer for your problems. you shouldnt use normal bookies to bet, cose they are interested and win when u lose. Start betting on exchanges and you will be rich soon or later, cose they are different way to bet!!!!. And btw dont be scared to bet there u need just time to learn how to bet. Exchanges win when you win!

    u can try: betfair, WSEX, matchbook, betsson, betonbet, betdaq etc...

    betfair is not recommended cose it has the highest commisions as leading exchange. if u dont bet high/often u can try there cose it has highest liquidity. otherwise try to stick to others.

    You should be ashamed of yourself if you are an American. If so, learn how to spell.
