No worries. Whilst I'm at it, it should also be noted that if you do challenge them they (and sportsbet) will severely limit your account. I just placed a $20 bet at Sportsbet which was rejected, it never even got referred to a trader.

Charkitz,

You're most welcome. Glad to see you got the result you were seeking.

I'd like to see you do what SU suggested. That would seem like a very interesting way forward.

NT Gov resolved the issue so they (Sportsbet) decided to penalise you another way. I am quite sure that will meet with a raised eyebrow or two at the NT Government for starters.

Are they within their rights to advertise a price and then refuse to take a reasonable bet at that price?
There's something wrong with an industry that is this unregulated. Sure, we have the NT government, but I don't want to be contacting them every day for what amounts to everyday practices, right or wrong.

"They said that their traders had made the decision on a 'risk management' basis. Despite never actually winning one bet with them "

I'd definately make that post to the NT commission

(a) the only conclusion from that is that you HAVE been barred for disputing and/or

(b) an alert to the commission that this sort of mealy crap banning behaviour is going on even if unrelated to your complaint.

to me it would be interesting to see what the response is from both parties. It may be helpful to a number of people here that allege they have been banned. I realise that others have allegedlu been banned on a purely commercial decision base with thus no comeback but you have a little wedge here that your ban has, perhaps, a hidden agenda, so the response of "commercial decision" may not wash with the commission especially with "no bets".

The mythical "man in the street", not knowing how these organisations seemingly dodge certain customers, would conclude "victimised" just about certainly IMHO.

Is the gaming commission seemingly ignoring this behaviour from the corporates or will they be "the man in the street"?

good bloke costa, snake r u talkin sports bets...eg afl

Had the same thing, Loggy.

IAS offering 13/1 on one option, I tried to have 100 on it, they declined, offered me 25 and then trimmed 3 points.
An hour later it was back up to 13/1. What does that mean? They want to lay it but they don't want me to get it?
Bunch of fcking beaureaucrats. I hope they all rot in hell.
Costa was sports betting, 1 was AFL and the other NRL. Seems like a real nice fella too. He doesnt offer much, but what he does offer he will take a decent bet on.
I hope he continues to thrive. A guy of real integrity.

what happened to the vendetta from valetta ?? looked like a promising fight... now nothing !! ffs i hope lawyers aren't going to spoil it for us.

Mr Roller, the simple explanation for that is this, you're obviously restricted with them, they didn't want to wind the price in because a winning player backed it, then all their "good" customers can't get the price.

The difference is they don't mind their good customers backing a winner, as the money will be lost back to them, but thats not the case with a winning punter

KDM,

I would if there was something interesting to talk about. Just so boring around here of late.
All I do is yawn. Y..Olympics..awn...:O

yes but is it the size of bet?
or
or my profit a)per race b)cumulative c) shorteners?

or do they just guess?

so you get a bowler and keep under their overs?

if that makes sense?

OMG, just tried to have $150 on Parra -12.5 at 6.75 with Sportsbet, rejected without even a counter offer.
That's an all time low for these fckers.
They spend millions in advertising to entice morons but won't even give me a bet to lose $1k.

Pathetic, simply pathetic.

Forgot to mention it's a sportsbet.com.au sponsored segment...

write a letter snake, to NT racing tell them that corps should have minimum bet limits in place like race tracks
