There's a little black note book on dps desk. And in it are logins to ten different betting sites and the deposits he has paid. I'm slightly concerned. What should I do?

He could be matched betting? I'm on the MBing thread on here and have over 20 bookie accounts but I still couldn't tell you which team is in which league etc etc!

Does he have form for behaviour which might make you think he's gambling?

On his phone all the time. Quite withdrawn. I'll guess I have to keep an eye out.

Sounds like it COULD be matched betting, that involves having loads of different accounts, and can be very addictive Smile

Matched betting involves keeping lots of notes / records so you can keep track of your bets / profits but you are guaranteed a profit.

Amongst the sites listed is there a note of Betfair or Smarkets? They're betting exchanges so probably matched betting.

Why don't you ask him?
