Does anyone know what stake levels set alarm bells ringing in betting shops? I often have bets turned down or stake/price reduced after a phone call by the manager.
I would like to know what are the maximums I can get on without triggering these phone calls. This may mean I have to visit a few shops to get the money I want on, but at least I can get maximum on at each shop.
I bet mainly on horses and football but also other sports and (very occasionally) greyhounds.
Any info appreciated.

didnt know there were 3 million bookies in the uk Barry ?
Don't different shops have different limits i.e. a big busy shop in central London would probably take more than a small quiet shop in the suburbs.
I know personally 2 million people scratching around trying to get something for nothing, and they aint all bookmakers.
Capataz, why not get to know the people behind the counter and ask them straight. If you might find someone who is helpful.
Thanks Dave, but I tend to travel around and don't really get to know staff in any of the shops. I thought maybe a couple of good-natured betting shop employees might read this and be able to let me know some numbers.
Id have thought payout just as much as stakes? example £20 on an evens would ring bells, but £20 at 33-1 would.
But as someone said ask behind counter, Id have thought theyd be pretty consistent in areas.

The factors that affect levels of referral are:
Time of Day : More sensitive am rather time of race
Type of Event: More on English premier than Russian Premier
Type of Customer: regulars get more than stranger, losers are accomodated better than winners
Tips: If you tip, you may find the staff are more receptable to turning a blind eye

strange but in the main i found tipping has the reverse effect so i stopped.
shop that i tipped biggest banned me.

I've found the same as jonnyg. Think they're worried it could be interpreted as a bribe.
Hills up to a grand take out without referal allegedly.....that includes the stake so you would have to have say £240 @ 3/1 to keep under rather than £250.
hills used to have k take out before ringing. pretty sure that was reduced by 50% some time ago.
thanks
thanks
£20 on EVS would ring bells?
have you tried 3.65? :D

I'm confused, Why would anyone want to back anything in shops.
aren't the prices always available here to chunks and often 20% better.
they must be I frequently see it advertised

well ladbrokes in livingston took £116,000 cash on england beating angola last year
and that is one of the smallest ladbrokes betting shops in the uk
it was in the papers, he risked £116,000 to make £680 profit or something like that

Yoyo - I have to play with cash most of the time so it has to be shops.
£116k to win £680? No wonder they layed it.
Not sure how their finances work, but they could have taken the £116k invested it in the overnight markets to potentially make more then pay the guy back.
