    If you don't want bookies to see offers, tips, loopholes, don't post them. But it kind of defeats the ethos of this site.

    I find it a shame that people want to protect their own interests without a thought for others. Each and every one of us stumbled upon this malarky yet some seem hell bent on preventing others from doing exactly the same thing.

    It screams of hypocrisy.

    That's why people have suggested the compromise of making the STICKIES PUBLIC but the Offers private. So MB can still be found by any Newbie and questions can be posted to help them.

    This may also prevent so many Newbies to dive into an offer like Eurobet when they should have spent time going thru the Stickies 1st. This way, maybe those Newbies or casual lurkers will research more into the "Public" conent and "How-To's" before potentially putting themselves in some deep water

    But whats the point? At the end of the day the bookies will join the private forums.

    But it's not going to hide us from bookies. They know we are here. There was even a regular poster from one of the marketing departments on here. :rotfl:

    You always remind me of a bloke who has had way too much to drink and aggressively staggers round telling complete strangers he loves them in a menacing way.

    Maybe a break from here would do you some good .. meet some real people in real life contexts and not get so hung up about strangers on internet forums.

    Amazing how people always manage to talk around the subject when this comes up. Make bookie offers show only for logged in members, keep everything else general MB stuff visible and google bot friendly. MSE would still spread the word to everyone who wanted to hear it. No-one comes to matched betting googling "zedbet".
