Not sure if the Bantam has a clue..
I was referring more to the part about there being no list as such, but that traders will talk to one another. For example, what else would one do in that **** that's attached to Spain? |

greggreg I have learned so much on here. Ihad a major issue with s ..bet ref to pay me bog prices cos I was restricted without telling me also noticed some firms always make mistakes in their favour when I win, now I know its their way of letting me know not wanted. One thing surely bookies would like winning clients so they could make money themselves following selections? Finally a holding winning on nh selections will I get closed down if I follow his selections say over 5-1 he is on oddschecker by the way.

Shame really, as I think the Betbright website is one of the better ones. I'm restricted to maximum £25, no BOG and no offers - which they failed to tell me about until one of my horses was 2nd @ Donny and they never gave me my money back, as advertised. Also I had all the nonsense of proving my id in order to get my money out.

Bookies share information on "non-mug" accounts. Not illegal, as far as I can see. One particular type of "non-mug" account is one which bets via oddschecker or bestbetting (because the punter is clever enough to look for the best odds). Betnotbrite and Bnowin are at the top of "new" crookies to be totally swerved. Bnowin is the firm which chargers you to withdraw your funds and refers withdrawal requests to s "panel" to see if the request for your own cash is "fair"!

"Account restrictions/closures will be revisited, at length. E-mail address is: BettingForum@britishhorseracing.com"  My time would be better spent reading Hergé's Adventures of Tintin...Self important bunch of self appointed timeservers that will achieve the total sum of nothing... |

"Bookies share information on "non-mug" accounts. Not illegal, as far as I can see."... There certainly cannot be another fella as it is against the Data Protection Act and if proven would mean an unlimited fine and possible closure of the said Company... |

It might also run foul of competition law.

I'm sometimes amazed at the naivety on here ...the bookies rely on mug punters for their profits, if some well informed constantly winning (pro)punter takes money off them - of course they're going to close his/her account!
They're not a charity - get real. |

they wouldn't know he was a "constantly winning (pro)punter" from one bet. so if that is the reason for account closure we must presume someone has informed them he is one based on information they have, which would be illegal.

Now we are getting down to reality.
In every such debate some half-wit employed in the "industry" comes on and defends the actions of the alleged "bookmakers"... If you are barred after a couple of bets it is obvious that you have been tracked by illegal means and even if you are an alleged (pro)punter (and how would they know that as you could be a winner at one rancid organisation and a loser at 15) such gathering of information is illegal.. Imagine if all you did at Tesco's was buy the special offers (as thousands do) and when you got to the till you were told that you had to take the stuff back or even more sinister on a first time purchase told that you were not welcome as Asda had told them that you only did the same.. Supermarkets closed down... And that is what should happen with the whole UK "betting industry"... |

If you were a bookmaker and had taken £200 at 7/2 on an Irish horse race from a complete stranger. This horse is backed into 5/2 and wins by 7L. Would you be happy to lay his next bet to take out £1K? I know I wouldn't. Up to last year,I hadn't had an online account with any bookmaker. I started with WH,placing a number of £200-£500(Evs-5/4) bets,over a number of weeks, on a market that only they offer prices on.No problems at all. I've only had one bet with Lads-£1000 winner at 5/4(best price O/U 2.5) One day I wanted to place 3 bets on O/U 2.5 and used my account with C@rals for the first time,it had been opened a few days earlier. They were top price on one and joint top on the other 2. I placed a £300 bet on the top price selection. After a short time they became top price on one of the others and I placed another £300 bet. When they became top price on the third,I was offered a max of £25 at 11/8. They had decided after 2 bets with unknown outcome that I wasn't the type of customer they wanted, and I understand why they took that decision. They didn't need any illegal help,as homefortea suggests,because none was available. It's laughable to think that they would take the risk. And in reality the amount of money saved would be minimal. |

I forgot that Betfair is now a bookmaker,
perhaps because I've never attempted to place a bet on the Sportsbook. |

The area managers regularly check non-profitable customers. They are given nicknames and rated red/amber/green or similar. The staff will probably know their names.
This information is probably shared with other area managers who can then monitor them in their own shops. A profitable customer will also be noted. |
