How it works in the real world?
Billy is a betconnect regular who’s passionate about betting. He loves to Match and Follow each Bet Request we send him. Each one from real Pros, backed with real money. He gets sent a Bet Request for him to Match. He needs to be quick!
Of course Billy is going to Match the bet. We show Billy that the same odds or better are available with other bookmakers so now he has a choice to make.

Billy enjoyed a risk free bet by choosing to Copy the pro, plus he got a free bet promotion from the bookmaker by betting with them. It’s still a win-win.
