Is this the norm? All my bets were football. Any thoughts?I have an account with JC that I always do well on and would have expected to be closed by now - lots of small bets though so maybe they aren't bothered.https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/29252167/what-amount-of-winnings-would-you-expect-a-bookie-to-restrict-you?post_id=522311611#522311611I have an account with JC that I always do well on and would have expected to be closed by now - lots of small bets though so maybe they aren't bothered.Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:02:53 -0500There's no mystery.

The same firm have restricted me to ten pounds takeout--pretty derisory since my average stake was in 3 figs.To get on when you are getting a better price than here, you need placers, ideally in the shops.
