Punter profile is a new section of Best Sports Betting where we’ll be chatting to real punters and asking them about betting and why they bet. We hope to use this as platform for South African punters to express themselves and some of their own betting stories. For each article we will be asking a set of questions to find out more about the punter and their thoughts on sports and casino betting. Check out the Punter Profile section on BSB for more from SA punters!
Punter Profile : Ronald
Why do you bet?
My name is Ronald. I’ve been in this betting industry for 12 years now. The reason why I bet is because I want to win big, and really mean big.
What is your favourite sport to bet on and why?
My favorite sport is soccer. I’ve been following it for 30 years now and I see it as simple sport in as far as betting is concerned.
Tell us about your most memorable bet or biggest win/loss
In my 12 years of betting, the most memorable one was in 2011 when I won R90 000 at Sportstake. I was betting on Sportstake before when Gidani was still in control. After their contract expired, I joined Hollywoodbets. (For those that don’t know Sportake switched over to Ithuba many years ago)
Which betting sites do you use and why?
My favorite betting right now is Hollywoodbets and Betway, these two sides are easy to access and they have lots of games and markets for me to bet on.
What would you do to improve online betting?
If I’m given a chance to improve online betting, I will improve the system to be easily accessible and also by improving odds and add more markets. Currently Hollywoodbets doesn’t have a data free, will work on that too.
Thanks for reading Ronald’s punter profile. We’re glad he managed to hit a huge R90,000 win on Sportstake back in 2011, a win that most punters can only dream of! Hopefully Hollywoodbets will be adding data free as it’s been requested by many punters. Best of luck with your Soccer bet Ronald, and thanks for taking the time to chat to us.
Thank you very much😊😊
