A punter claims his local betting shop has banned him because he was “winning too much”. Grandad Michael Bates, 74, pocketed just over £2,000 in a 12-day streak of 48 successes at a Coral’s branch.The widower, who told how he landed the modest haul after devising a method to predict horse race winners, said a staffer then asked him to leave and not come back.
He said his “system” for picking winners was purely based on his research findings that 80 percent of races are won by horses with the numbers one to four.

Coral’s PR director Simon Clare said he would investigate Mr. Bates’s complaint as it is against the firm’s policy to ban punters for winning. “For a very small minority of shrewd bet that it’s likely to be unprofitable for a bookmaker, we may want their bets phoned to our trading desk for authorisation,” he added.
“Even these are rarely refused but we may limit the stake.” The Gambling Commission said there was no legal “right to bet” and no bookmaker had to accept a bet. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/offbeat/grandad-who-took-£2000-from-coral -is-banned-from-bookies-for-winning-too-much/ar-BBUAKpi?ocid=spartanntp |

Clearly this 74 year old had to be banned as he was putting the long-term future of Corals in jeopardy.

He clearly follows the old saying 'one more four the road'

I think the last time I went and bet in a Corals shop was back in the day when you could get coupon footy bets at half time (because they didn't notice some were at 2-0).
When they stopped having that, wasn't interested in them. Good riddance to them. |
