One option is to get friends/relatives to open accounts.  However, the bookies will check your isp, so you shouldn't place bets through the internet account you previously used when accessing their sites.

If you don't want to use friends/relatives then maybe use an e-wallet, e.g. Neteller and use different details, an internet dongle, etc.

I've never done it but these are the tips I remember seeing on here in the past.

^^What he said.

I'm banned from a major for arbing "we know it isn't illegal but we don't agree with it" they told me on the phone.

Yes, I've been banned or severely limited by all of them.  Purely for arbing.  I no longer arb and the irony is my work suggests the bets I was having with the bookies were rather bad!  Result being I make more just laying on here and the bookies lose out as they're not taking my money!

I've been closed down or severely restricted by a quite a few.

At the weekend I attempted to place a £10 bet @ 2.1 with Blue Sq. They only allowed me a Fiver.

The next day, after my bet won, I tried to place another tenner at odds on. £2 maximum!!

I sent them a couple of emails but they refused to tell me why I was limited, though they say I could play Casino and all the other nonsense they have on their site, unlimited.

Some of them have accused me of Arbing, which I wasn't doing. I tried to explain that betting £10, £20, £25 would not be worth Arbing because the margins are so small.
I was simply trying to get the best price available. Something we all do in every day life no matter what we're buying.

Anyway, I don't really understand why they have a problem with Arbing. One half is always a loser, so Sod's Law suggest's they're going to lay you a losing bet 50% of the time.


What really annoys me is the amount of adverts a lot of these firms put on TV, trying to entice new mug punters, yet no one in the public eye or with any weight in the gambling industry has brought this matter to light.

Show half a sign of knowing what you're doing and you're immediately shut down.

I'm old enough to remember when it was Punter v Bookie, and they'd stand you a bet, but now, if I want a large-ish bet, there are limited places to go, and I'm occasionally forced to take a price lower than is "available"

Bunch of shytbag c..t's the lot of them.

It's the way of the world these days.  Get best prices and you will get limited. The arbing excuse is mostly b*llocks if you ask me.  I get plenty of prices which you cannot arb on here as there is no interest in the market and still get closed down.  I swear sometimes the books just set a price a bit above the others just to weed out those who shop around and may have ½ a clue.
