Getting bets on using friends’ names

I bet a lot and I am now severely limited by most of the bookies that I want to use. I put my bets on in the morning as I find that I tend to get better prices that way and I often find that I can get a significantly better price at a bookmaker than at Betfair. I would like to continue to get my bets on with the bookmakers.

Quite a few friends have offered to let me use their names to get bets on with bookmakers. What I am wondering is whether this is legal? Does anybody else do this? What’s your view on it?

I would be happy to pay for a professional opinion on this. Does anybody know any firms of lawyers who may have done work that is relevant to this?

I am not bothered about the tax side of it for the moment. I just want to check that I’m not going to be done for fraud before I head down this route!

If you would prefer not to go into print about this, then please drop me a pm.

Cheers
Jasper
