Bookies putting restrictions on accounts

I think youre the first to be restricted kev , unlucky

time warp or fishing

I think that you can restrict how much a day that U can loose in a shop then youve just got to hope that theres not relief staff...........

ring them up and tell them your"THE MAN" and its impossible to get the amount you need to live on arbing with these restrictions.apart from billys the others now let me have what i want.

"Free money", "what a shoite ride that was" "sir tom" "my accounts been restricted"

Where would this forum be without these repetitive threads?

Still trying to turnover 365 bonus, another 2,356,274 £0.02 max bets to go

LOL nice one Regit. I've rung them up and u only get to speak to their nice customer service fronting  people not the Traders that make the decision's. 365 passed my complaint on then decided to make no changes whilst  ladbrokes passed complaint in into a "black hole", but gr8 to hear your getting your bets on.

wow defo fisherman

Kev.Are you new to betting ? ALL bookmakers operate a "mugs only" policy.Are you saying that 365 changed their mind about restrictions ? If so, that's an amazing achievement.

welcome to the real worldd of bet £3.65


on Ray fookin Winstone can get more than a 10 spot on 

No artie bet365 (Or bet£3.65 as jollie calls them) they didn't change their mind ! No I'm not new to betting just more focused now so my winning profile more in the spotlight I guess. Must have not gone down well that I successfully turned over my bonus when I joined. Call me naive but although I was aware they restricted accounts I though it was for really BIG players. I think ATR and Racing Post should "name and shame" those bookies who take it too far.

Have you been betting multiple horses in the C4 races with 365 kev?

he'll be telling us next they restrict losing accounts as well

I don't understand the mentality of traders. With the amount of competition out there (especially Betfair) you'd think the bookies would be fighting for your business. If they balance their books correctly it shouldn't make a difference who wins and loses.

and if you read the RP you'd be very confused pullein telling us bookmakers get the odds right 999/1000 so why would they restrict anyone kev ?

Bet365 adverts "keep backing those winners...and we'll keep giving you free bets"

I've no idea how they are allowed to get away with that statement.

"Nice" article in todays Bookmakers trade paper on page 13 about a punter suing a Paddy Power offshoot in Australia for money he would have won if he was not restricted...

Class Action anyone...

The publicity alone would knock 25% off "Bookmakers" share prices if it was done over here..

Paddy Pooper restricted me to 9euro each way on a 7/1 shot the night before the race...
So I went to 5 of their shops and had e200 each way.
Do they actually think their ridiculous limits work???

http://www.asa.org.uk/Consumers/How-to-complain.aspx , if anyone wants to spend some time giving these total frauds a problem...

e.g. if you close an account do they let you reopen and start again with a new slate?




thinly veiled after-20-yrs-off-doing-my-sloblocks-i've-finally-fluked-a-few-winners thread

Thanks Millhouse for that positive contribution to the thread. I agree its important that punters aren't passive and let the bookies have it all their own way. Also excellent point made by horsewithnoname below about the slogans they use but don't back up.

all you wingers on here, seem to forget if you can't get it on here- where you are constrained by appalling liquidity levels, its only then that you turn to bookmakers. and then very often for when we are out of line with the exchange. ie 9/2 when it's 4 on here and you expect to get a nice free arb off our backs.

i do agree Hills and such have become rather pathetic about many bets they should not restrict, of course i agree there. But moist of the whining on here isn't from the genuine client- it's the traders bleating they can't make profits off the bookies back

i don't see one complaint on this thread about why you can't get what you want on Betfair. oh no

might i suggest an afternoon at the cinema?

Phuuck me.

Didn't take long for a morally corrupt bookies puppet to come on here and call as all arbers!

Phuucking disgrace.

lol - i wonder if you'd be that uncouth without the pseudonym? And I'm no puppet- thanks

If you want to know my name then you'll find me in an issue of your late magazine.

"I don't see one complaint on this thread about why you can't get what you want on Betfair".I invariably get what I want on BF , and I guess most people do.Betfair is the greatest thing since sliced bread !

How do you work that out? That's just what you WANT to think.

well, Duncan, let me ask you a question - do you complain on here about 'getting on' with firms?

loper- great i shall look through any number of magazines and magic your name out of it! I know who you are because you can't spell f*"k apparently- so that should be easy

i may have done...i've been closed by several and restricted by others...not sure what your point is...i was asking how you know the people that are moaning are traders and not punters...i've been on here years and i wouldnt have a clue who the traders are...it's just convenient for you bookies to believe we're all traders and arbers rather than punters that are capable of taking money off you

Duncan, they don't believe it - they just want the media to believe it...

Betfair is an exchange ,why do you not bet on here and get on as much as you want on a daily basis ?

i am limited on races at b365 and lads for some unknown reason as horses aint my thing. but on others sports it can be to win £100 mainly live football.another book well known have put me on max stake from a previous minimum stake cant work out why but who cares

11kv, the prices aren't available on here early on, and near the off when the liquidity is there, all the value has gone and you are betting into a near perfect market.

The parasite traders don't help, as even if you try to put in a bet on here at the same price as the bookmakers, they just see your bet, jump in front, creating an arb, and this shortens the bookmaker price, and in turn shortens the price on here. This often creates an industry price collapse (many 'gambles' are caused solely by someone wanting to have a decent bet on Betfair, imo)

So, apart from the big meetings, it's the bookmakers or nothing...

just when the thread couldnt get any worse duke leches up and complains he cant get his arbs on,ffs.

jezuz wept the bookies paranoia with arbing is just ludicrous. "a nice free arb?????"
besides you wouldn't lay enough at the price to make it worth while.

I bet approx. 30K with 365 over a 3 month period and they never restricted my bets. During the same period I returned 31K, so I`m 1K in front. I suppose my figures are good for overall turnover and it has only cost them 1K. Started with a deposit of £50. They only restrict bets if you only bet with them when they are best price and withdraw winnings and run.

Millhouse - "and near the off when the liquidity is there all the value has gone and you are betting into a near perfect market." NONSENSE.Absolute nonsense.Plenty of value to be had before the off.Someone needs to teach you how to bet.

The life long question, of why you have something at 9/2 when it is 4 on here still remains.

If it is 4 on here and you are offering 4.50, it makes perfect sense to bet with you.  You are advertising a price, wanting people to back at that price, and then closing down people that do bet at that price.

The day somebody with an IQ over 80 decides to become a bookie, the better for all of us.

Have had my account virtually stopped...few pricewise winners,,,taking their top prices and bagging a few decent winners.
tell you what they dont like it...there only open for mugs no one else.

boylesport will only let me bet at sp...  suspect i had a few wins on hugh Taylor tips  but mostly bet at about 32 on a 16/1 shot...even the phone operator thought it was mad i was blocked on such small stakes

Well said artie - and surely a winner's a winner. There is plenty of liquidity before and during a race. Bet in-play , you'll get some fantastic prices, most times many times better than anywhere else. And if you wait long enough your 'winner' will get to 1000/1! Can't get better value.

Birchy can get 100s on with bet 3 6 5 according to his column & hes never had a losing month in his life.

The Mighty Mac, rightly or wrongly, they think you are going to lose eventually.

They restrict bets if they think you are going to beat them in the long run - nothing else...
