Bet365 - bet 3 days - reduced liability now to £100/event Betfred - still have account although liability is £200 VC Bet - 2 day account closed Stan James - 1 day(3bets) account closed Betfair (sportsbook) - 2 weeks, liability restricted (cant quite work out what to apprx £200) WM Hills & Corals - account still active although I do spread bets between 2 (trying to stay under radar) Boyle - 2 days - Closed Paddy - Liability reduced to £100 Ladbrokes - 2 days - "can no longer offer you BOG or any bonuses" liability now approx £200 |

Swift - Have you tried getting a couple of hundred on here on a morning on something that is not below 6/4? Stick it up and you wont get matched, or will do for peanuts before £2 jumps in front of your bet.
I realise the books are running a business but some decisions are just pathetic. If they had proper compilers rather than the accountants they have (the biggest arbers going no doubt) then they could lay a decent bet. All the apologists on here tell you that you shouldn't bet with a book if they are top price or if they are above the Betfair price. Why not? Surely any punter would want the best return for his/her money. I stupidly thought the whole point of going top price would be to attract money as you still think you are laying below the true price, and when you have been filled you then cut the price, but now anyone who takes top price are automatically marked or called an arber - which is just daft. |

totaaly agree jammer, surely to god if a firm is top price it is because they want to get it in the book???

just back at BF SP on here
I can fill in your comments for ya You: "you're joking! back at BF SP and miss the best price" Me: "You don't know that, are you saying that you can consistently predict the BF SP for each horse?" You: "No, but I want the BOG price" Me: "Well, in that case, you cannot blame the bookie for restricting you if you are consistently winning money off him" You (stamping foot): "I want to back with the bookie at BOG unrestricted!" But if you can consistently predict which horses are going to be lower at BF SP than in the morningsat |

if the bookies cant trade your bets for risk free profit on a consistent basis then they don't want your business.
end of thread. |

You're missing the point, bookmakers are restricting customers before they even have a chance of winning. My latest 365 account lasted 5 bets. I was £248 down and got restricted. I never follow any tipster, and I didn't beat the bf price. The only "sin" was to beat sp (which I couldn't possibly have forecasted). As previously said, why offer the price if you don't want it taken ? |

By:
Q. Would you lay 2/1 about a 6/4 shot ???
A. NO If you don't want to lay 2/1 then don't stick it up there !!! and then don't punish your account who take it !! Simple !! |
|
By:
WFT , at a guess i would say bookmakers are now restricting accounts if you dont bet on various sports , roulette , arcades , reality tv etc .
if you just bet on 1 type of sport , the chances are higher that you may win , or not lose as much as they would like you too. |
|
By:
you're arguing against what is actually happening
what's the point? you don't have any control over the situation, you can't take the bookie to court for restricting you just find another way and stop your constant whinging |
|
By:
any bet to win at least ten grand [ including each way ] ..no bet ever refsed or reduced .. no punter ever barred or refused , whatever the bet.
these threads always amuse me |

By:
adge , can you lay bets over the phone
|
|
By:
^ that seems to be the case rcing.
i thought it was particularly kind of hills to still let me know i was welcome to use the casino & poker sites at the same time as telling me i could no longer have any bets on the sportsbook. |
|
By:
no , rcing the racecourse badge restricts us to taking bets from the pitch only [ legally ]

ok thanks adge

I never used to have BOG in the shops before the internet etc and didn't worry, but back then the books were books imo. My local lads wouldn't worry about taking 500 on a horse at the advertised price back in the 90s, now they have to ring up for £50. Although it's nothing to do with them being arcades and online casinos etc....risk free.... |
