last night i bet Lemon Velvet at 8/11 with 2 firms (could lay it on here at 1/2 at the time)
i tried to bet on the opens at Sheffield tonight and both accounts have been closed
i am not an arber and its not my fault that the bookmakers choose to go such silly prices
looks like Nottingham is destined to be the new Oxford
did anyone else have accounts closed for betting this particular dog ?

Not that particular dog and not closed but had all bar about 3 severelly limited for the same thing.Went threw a little stage of betting the unders on here with the books and to say they dont like it is being kind.Some wont even allow me 50p on any sport.Ps never really made much money out of it either and infact lost with some of them.

i can accept that the off course firms dont like it (who would want to lay 8/11 when its 1.49/1.50 on here)
but instead of closing customers accounts,why dont they close the arbs via a rep on the course ?

Bookmakers are allowed to manipulate on-course markets but regular punters try it and there are "irregular betting patterns". Bookmakers believe they are there only to win money off punters. They dont seem to accept they could lose

There was one last night at Sheffield.  Little Reminder. 9/4 first show, could lay around 2.70 on here.  SP 4/5.  It's got to be the oncourse books manipulating the first show or they are completely clueless.

there was a fellah on the bags thread recently
who said he made loads out of joke orals arbing
think he said 13k over 4 years
he kept the amounts very small though
and consequently didnt get closed up straightaway
they did however find out eventually
