closed bookmaker accounts

i closed my boils ac yesterday.they simply wont lay me even a fiver.sad shower.anyway i requested the lady to remove all my details cr card numbers etc.she assured me she would so im sure all details are gone.?the thing is if i open a new ac i be told i had an old ac with same number so details cant be gone?

kavvie that's my problem with spoil sports they still hold my details and I want them removed by law how long can they hold details and yes they are a shower of ****

My guess it depends where they licensed and what data protection there is in the country your details are held.

Retaining personal data (Principle 5)

This section answers some common questions about how long personal data should be kept. It sets out briefly the duties of organisations in this regard, and gives examples of good practice in managing the retention of personal data.
In brief – what does the Data Protection Act say about keeping personal data?

The Act does not set out any specific minimum or maximum periods for retaining personal data. Instead, it says that:

Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

This is the fifth data protection principle. In practice, it means that you will need to:

    review the length of time you keep personal data;
    consider the purpose or purposes you hold the information for in deciding whether (and for how long) to retain it;
    securely delete information that is no longer needed for this purpose or these purposes; and
update, archive or securely delete information if it goes out of date.

amazing how they are so bad..

Should add why you guys bet with any bookie  when you can back or lay at better prices on here  to plenty   ..you tell me

Interesting. Ladbrokes closed me the day that the Dermot Weld stayer won at York 2 years ago, but sent me a customer satisfaction survey yesterday.

Kavvie  Guaranteed prices to how much ?
Dead Heats well there most be 3 at  least 3 year .
Double results well thats a vert grey area

lots of reasons.why is double res a grey area.?also ew here is a non starter..back a 5/1 second fav in a shop to a 1/2 fav in an 8 runner maiden it places your neutral.wins your in clover.also shops will take big cash bets usually.pp will. though pp online a joke.

yes so I've heard millhouse
but has someone done a detailed study on this?

I've never seen any evidence

I would like to see a research thing done on Pricewise for example using his advised prices AND using the Keep option on here

how many times would the price have been obtained on here - stuff like that

im not defending shops now.im just saying if i went into a pp shop in 10 min and wanted 500ew on a 4or 5/1 shot they would take it.not sure bout lads but thems the facts.if you know theres gonna be a gamble on something  bf no good for liquidity and their sports book wouldnt take a fiver(bigger joke than spoils and corrals put together)so you gotta get the price before it goes.you also have the guarantee and double res and stewards..makes sense to me.bf good for punting near off .

not sure if it was pricewise himself, who said in r post last week he was kicking himself when he backed a horse on here at like 2.85 when 7/4 was available with bookies, the horse won at 7/2.

your not restricted if you put cash on in diff shops as far as im aware..

Swift, here in Ireland there's no problem getting on (FOBT's non existant), if I have a run of wins from the same shop, I will use a different shop for a bit before maybe returning to the original shop, 2 reasons really, staff don't get a full picture of my betting and if or when I do return, they are glad to see you back as they tend to not realise that you've been elsewhere and think to themselves "was only a matter of time before he returns to give us back our losses" and are even more eager to take your bet.

Anyway, like I said it's not really a problem getting on anyway, Boyles are a bit ropey, to say the least, but in my local shop they're not too bad when you are known, anyway there's enough within walking distance to get on without any hassle to €100 units if you really want to bet in Boyles shops to early prices, online they are a bunch of counts, will take the bet online at SP if you are willing to let them have the arb.

Shop advantages outweigh backing on here by a country mile as outlined above by Kavvie, though I backed this years Grand National winner with Ladbrokes @ 80/1 to €50 e/w in the morning, don't know what price it was on here, probably massive, but those type of winners are few and far between, I always protect my stake and for a decent bet, shops e/w with guaranteed prices, is a no brainer.

Yes, that market is not really formed on here yet

135%

would u think?..if it goes to 4  the sp will follow it out.what happens if it hardens?i got 5/2 guaranteed either way

got this reply from spoil sports

I have worked at private bookies mainly but had stints at billys and okcorales, all punters betting over £50 singles are monitored when they start to lose the company money they are limited to SP only or refused point blank.
Remember when i worked in manchester city central one punter put £60 on every single bookies in the town centre (circa 23 of em) on some balinrobe 20-1 shot and it hosed in.
Next day his picture was up behind the counter.

here was a guy who was restricted from the shop he kept running up to the counter bit of sexy talk then to the toilets he was having a think tank he got restricted and used to tell folks he was winning to much and couldn't bet there anymore, true story
