Anyone else having trouble getting bets on with our Irish friends?  I am a really small punter but every bet I have tried to put on recently has been rejected on the advice of the risk department. 

Today I tried to back Stonemaster to small stakes each way at 16/1 as BS were the only firm paying 5 places at that price (I wasn't aware it was a Pricewise horse).  I was told I could have 25p each way at that price!  When I complained I was told that it was a restriction on that market, and not specific to my account.  I don't use BS much (mainly because they keep knocking me back!) but is this a common thing?

25p each way? Seriously? Some of these bookmakers are joke companies.

just close it down, bit pointless really if your restricted all the time, only getting buttons on. as i recall i only ever got £50 or £60 bets on with these jokers. ridiculous

I thought the minumum was £1.00 or £1.00 each way, that may be why, its rejecting your bet.

As i said in the other thread, use Bet 365 for non Betfair bets.  They are brilliant.

cri****, I was trying to put on more than a £1, it was the bookies that restricted me to the 25p.

by purpose, last time I posted on here I don't think you could name the firm, but I meant Boyles, not Blue Square.
