Are they for real?
I have only been giving them some of my business for a few months, and LOSING,then suddenly I back a couple of winners and they tell me that they refuse to accept any more bets other than Fixed Odds. So I try to have 100 @ 7.00,they think about it then accept 10,yes ten rotten dollars.There should be a law against it.

BL done exactly the same for me.

Now they ** me on every ew bet by reducing place odds. I go to have 100 ew at 9.0 win & 3.0 place. They think about for about a min & bet is accepted at 9.0 for win but 2.40 for place. I've had to work around them by either backing for win only or place only.

Left a minimal amount in account & as soon as i lose it then i'm not bothering with them anymore.

these threads make me laugh, what were you trying to bet at 7.00? imagine you own a business and find out someone is buying items off you for less that what they are costing you to accure, would you still want them to do business with you.

why bet with them go where you can get on

Yep they are for real Brett. Unless your betting patterns indicate you are a total loser you are restricted or turned off rather quickly. Only that proper bookie Mr Read will let me on for a reasonable bet.

And I expect that to change with Paddy taking charge.....

i swear these perennial whingers, continue to persist with betting at joints where they know they are marked as they see it as some sort of ego boosting moral victory over a bookmaker. Just use your brain and do something about it

It makes him laugh!

I like the useful advice provided that we need to use our brains.

I'm also not sure how they are selling us something at less than cost when they are setting a market at 150% or providing tote prices.

im not sure if you blokes are betting over the net but if you bet over the phone i know 2 guys and 1 syndicate of punters who are all in front with them and have had accounts for over 12 months
midweek city they get set on the gallops to win 10k and saturday 20k+ depends the time of betting they call
i cant see how there can be so much difference for different accounts,best thing to do if your not happy is to take your buisness elsewhere there are heaps of options

Eel i think the problem as arisen b/c they are the only corporate betting fixed betting on dogs. Several forumites mentioned at the time they started that they will lose but i think they wanted to get dog clients before Tabcorp started to bet fixed prices on dogs (which i'm not sure is still going to happen)

As i stated earlier i will stick to here & totes but if Tab starts betting fixed prices on all dog races then it will be time to give the day job away.
Report The Eel October 30, 2009 7:26 AM GMT
i do remember previously kye you saying about how they treat the dog punters,you would think they could provide even a small service to there clients to win x amount to keep them happy and without to much risk to themselves,bad publicity through word of mouth or on forums cant be a good thing
Report The Eel October 30, 2009 7:30 AM GMT
your probably right rolmeo,they probably let them on and cop the tip if they think they have half a clue what there doing
Report Sir Punter October 30, 2009 8:05 AM GMT
it must be for a tip, because they are over the betfair prices a lot of the time....

and put up huge prices on dogs that storm in and have been backed heavily on betfair.

i would think they are getting absolutely hammered, you can't lay at under tote/corp price on here and even make a buck .
