Anything you do, even non-stop losing bets, they keep chopping you back harder and harder. 

It's slow, very annoying and 90% of the time bets are declined.  They just don't want anybody betting with them it seems so eventually you give up and go somewhere that lets you on.

Given it's happened to me at two different shops - they are ALL as bad as each other :-(


There should be a FIXED PRICE EXCHANGE - money in a single account - each bookie sends its OFFERS in with VOLUME - we hit em with money from our account !!

TOO EASY !

bookies.com.au

aka Bestbookies.

Think they are a group of WA bookies, that bet through this site.  To bet with them, they must bet the odds they offer as long as it still matches their boards when the bet hits the site or they no longer have access.

To be fair, I think for the most part the only active bookie is Topsport, but certainly for WA races, and Satudays etc, there are a few on offer.
Can take your pick of the bookie you want, or load them up through something like DynamicOdds, and simply have access to the best offer.

Certainly a good idea, that looks after the punters.  Would love something like that to take off, but the fact remains, bookies want to be able to pick and choose their clientele.

Isn't it strange that the locally owned Topsport keeps getting accolades,all justified for letting you on.
Now food for thought says but what about all the shrewdies taking overs and stripping the joint of any and all profit.
Gotta give it to Lloyd,he just works on the Bill W theory,let'em on.

Done plenty of arbing with BB.  Aus, UK, doesn't matter, they pop up daily.


For the record, Pinnacle (the "new" Aus bookie) that were supposed to be it and a bit, are a direct copy of Topsport odds.
They informed me that the reason they claim they have the best odds and let everybody on, is because they don't compare them with other bookies, because no other bookie lets anybody on, so therefore, their claim that they have the best odds must be correct.
They do give a personalised service though.  When I emailed them at the beginning of their racing markets, I suggested that all the talk over the last few months that they would be worth the wait, was really just that, and that apart from offering nearly the worst odds in the country, they also were a direct clone of Topsport. 
Apparantly that was enough for them to threaten me and try and close my account.
Fair question I thought.

Fair enough that most of the markets tend to get pretty close to each other, but when they are exactly the same, and then TS offer mistakingly 167.00 on a 16.00 horse, and of course Pinnacle follows suit, it doesn't take a genius to work out why.

And besides that, the talk of best limits, no banning, best odds, etc etc, my first bet was knocked back from 2000 liability to 1000, and was threatened with closed account within 2 days of their racing offering.

So why bother when you could just bet with Topsport?  Crazy

The transcript of Steve Fletcher's testimony makes interesting reading.
He testified that the corporates ban any punter that loses less than 7%. That's their cut off point to determine a punter that knows what he's doing.
He also testified that that if you open a bowler account your initial bets should always be on tote based products as that gets you marked down as a mug.

Business should be a level playing field.

2- why can a business offer one customer a product and not the next customer. ACCC (the toothless tiger) should be having a crack at these mobs

35 years ago the bookies at Flemington would put up less than 110% and lay plenty of horses because every mug had a chance.
When BET365 eventually put up 150%+ they will only lay the 2 or 3 mistakes for the day,
the mistakes will be their worst results for the day. Even at 150+ mugs with no idea of the true odds will make mistakes.

The funny thing about 365 is that they put up odds with  severe restrictions 12+ hours b4 a race, because, i thought, they want the "cheap tip" but it seems they don't want the cheap tip from someone with an idea, They want cheap tip from a mug.

Report Khan321 January 16, 2015 4:39 AM GMT
They do get the 'cheap tip' about what people want to back by letting you on for not much.  Generally it is very much not worth it.  If you back anything early (in harness racing at least) Sky have an orgasm over the 'shortener' and the price gets destroyed late.

For just one example at Kilmore last night Bellmac Kody was backed from $7 to $5 fixed so started about $4.5 mid tote.  If whoever backed it had waited until the last 2 minutes it would have started about $8 mid tote.

You essentially have 3 options for getting on for a lot in harness racing, and if you're being smart most will involve mid tote:

a) Back the fave or second fave early (it only takes about 300 to knock the price off) so it becomes Skys sacrificial lamb for the race and the lemmings will jump on.  Lay it back very late if it shortens enough or just let it run.  Smash whatever you really want to back in the last 2 minutes, too late for Sky to start squealing.

b) Wait until you see what the sacrificial lamb is.  If you like it then get on fixed if you're fast enough or just forget the race. If you don't then back whatever you do like normally.

c) Get on with Tatts who actually let you on for a bit fixed.
