e.g. Sporting_index

Has anyone ever had their stakes limited at these sites?  They strike me as less likely to limit than other bookmakers...

Yes, although most of them just shift the spread at every request once they don't want your business. For me sporting index were the best and ig by far the worst but not everyone would agree with me.

has this ever happened before.

Yes, but it's different inasmuch as on this subject they might be right.

I've never had any problem with Spin, but did with
the other firm and quit betting with them a few years ago,
as they moved the prices (IMO) depending on who was asking.

Exactly my experience kenilworth. When I knew an account was on its last legs I used to keep requesting online horse racing prices st random and pmsl as they moved their spread on countless horses without striking a bet until they realised I was taking the p1ss

Rather than getting limited, in my experience you keep being served up useless requotes or being put subject to a long delay. If you're trading or arbing, the second is as good as being limited.

50-20-10 markets can be much better than traditional win and place markets if you have a view on a horse that is trading e.g. 5-7.

Were ok back in the days when the city boys were pulling in the obscene bonuses. Would take a decent bet cos they were raking it in from the Ferengi scum. Nowadays I don't bother with then as once they have learnt your MO then you're toast. Referred to trader, spread moved and stake reduced, that's if they will even let you do it online. No different from regular bookies and if you are clued up then you won't last long with any of them. Get onto the Asian books IMHO, forget about the spreads.
