  I hope you can access the above image. If you can't see it, the crowd in question have the initials  PP.  It shows me trying to put 12 euros on a 6/1 shot (I would put on more only they would be running really scared).  I thought this bookmaker (sorry I meant this firm that only wants losing punters) would take 12 euros.  As you can see from the screenshot they felt that this size of a bet was too much, so they offered to take a whopping 10.50 euros.  This evening I was offered 7 euros on a 13/2 shot.  I have this account open only a few weeks.  I am not a professional or big punter - my normal bet would be about 20 to 30 euros.  I find this behaviour by a so-called BIG bookmakers disgusting. 
  And one of their slogans is "WE HEAR YOU".  Well Mr. Big Bookmaker I hear you and you seem to talk a load of %$£%%$.

Cannot get a single euro on with Boyles, an account that is showing a loss of 50 euro. The biggest bookies in England wouldn't lay me 100 euro on a 9/2 shot at Lingfield. Tried to have 25 each way on a horse with Coral a few weeks back they layed me the huge sum of 8 e/w

PP are terrible no doubt but in the grand scheme of things nowhere near as bad as B0yles and many others. Boyles I asked for 3 pence on a 4/1 and was told bet size was too big. They did take 1 pence though!

boyles worse than baldy, vc or joes?
Report racingguru January 28, 2014 11:09 PM GMT
B0yles way worse than all of them. VC is decent but their procedure of closing you down is brutal - just locking you out. C0rals are middle of the road. Better than Lad for sure.

I tried £2 on a 5/4 at Boyles.  They offered 2p to return 5p.  I bit their hand off.

never had a VC account,
so they close you down if you have a winning account with no warning?
How do you get your winnings?
Report racingguru January 28, 2014 11:20 PM GMT
VC pay out to your designated funding method and seem to honour ante post bets but just one day without notice you can't login. But they are better than them all - they take a bet. B365 were very good but now not so much.

i use to have a 4 figure winning account with blue square, mainly betting on the football.
never had a problem with them.

I had a b365 acc that allowed me on - almost won 24k with them before it got closed - no such joy with subsequent accs.

If you are on here you know what betfair is
Bookies just want punters who haven't a clue about betfair

PP aint the worst.  SJ , WH, VC , Lads all effectively or otherwise  closed my account, as well as a few locals . Anyone who backs winners regularly , or triers ( prices shortening on here essentially) is persona non grata , particularly if they dont indulge in other forms of gambling .

Blame the computers , they identify the shrewder punters  , even the ones who lose . Laws re gambling and making a book need re-examined , but no one is prepared to do it .

And I have not printed the initials of the other ones who offer you 50 p on a 4/1 shot etc .

VC probably the best one I have at the minute. A small winning account but not sure how long it'll last. Last few bets took 16/1 SP 7/1, 16/1 SP 6/1 7/1 sp 5/2.


I do like Stan James. Coral haven't closed me but all bets do go to a trader and a fair few only given a smaller stake or a point shorter.


If ye are restricted with **** open up an account with Seaniemac.com, Apollobet or Betmclean. Each have the same prices website and traders as boyles. They won't make the connection until after you have gotten your 25 quid free bet with them, love taking money from one of them bunch of cowards even if you can only use the account for a short while.

The last account I had with Boil, they closed me down with the account losing £240 after SEVEN bets over no more than THREE weeks. This is solely because I was beating SP every time. In other words, it doesn't matter if you win or not, they DON'T EVEN LIKE THEY WAY YOU LOSE! They're all more or less the same, but I wonder sometimes what their shareholders would think collectively if they knew that these firms were regularly closing losing accounts, i.e. sacrificing profit on the altar of the anti arb god.

If you mean £24k sterling, sorry but that is extremely hard to believe.
Report racingguru January 29, 2014 2:26 PM GMT
Alias - it was around 10k then i hit them a 14k win in one hit - then they closed me down but if you profile yourself as a mug early on in the use of the account you can make it last longer.

Marathon Bet, sponsors of Fulham, won't let me bet more than £1 on an odds on shot.

Twice in the last 3 month's I've tried placing a bet with them. Unreal.
