Unfortunately the Betfair exchange does not have a virtual sports section.

I know betdaq, sporting index and matchbook have a virtual sports section.

There are some new exchange websites and I haven't checked them out.

I could've earnt perhaps a second source of income as I've gotten good on virtual soccer. It's a shame they only have a few exchange betting websites as normal betting websites would ban me for continuously winning.

The question is, despite these exchange websites taking commission, can they ban you from winning continuously?

You will be greeted with open arms everywhere if you bet on virtual sports as it's a massive money earner for them. It's a no skill game, the house always wins.

No disrespect to people who bet on Virtual Sports , back in the day in the Bookies when this was introduced i did say to myself they are just pulling money out of peoples hands as the Software that ran these images had to be geared for them to win, imagine how many virtual Favourites they programmed to be pipped on the line :lol: it was a joke watching its introductory, i couldn't believe the amount of people dashing to the counter to get bets on last minute, i saw one guy back a favourite for £200 that was alot of money back then only for it to be pipped on the line, then he started smashing up the shop i felt sorry for the staff, back then the Police were rapid and he was arrested. Its very sad how some people have no control over something that isn't real

Thank you for the replies.

I won a fortune on predicting the correct score before on virtual soccer. The problem is, the bookies will just ban me.

Can the exchange websites ban me if I win too much? I could've earnt a second source of income through this

If you can consistently win at virtual sports betting then you should consider donating your brain to science when you die.

Good morning 'Lucky' Lex7777.

Perhaps you should audition for the forthcoming Bond 26 movie as Mr. Bond is always successful in the casino.

You would either get banned/limited or inevitably start losing whatever you've made

The only real play is to quit while ahead and look for a 2nd income elsewhere

I can't imagine any bookmaker banning you for winning on virtual sports. It's just a graphical representation of random numbers so the same as casino games, they don't care if you win because the know the odds are in their favour.

Thank you for the replies.

I have worked hard for over 8 years and used all sorts of techniques and analysis in my own way.

Definitely a chance for me to earn a second income.
