You will know tomorrow morning, chapter and verse, if I don't get a response.

Still not named?

Vill Hill !

Thank you, Angela, yes, can deduce that from the comments now...did bet with 3 firms, not the obvious one, one got binned in the summer, which leaves...

With his tipping it's long odds he's got £16 in far less 16K..

Might just be a reset of course!

Calvin has openly said that he has no problem handing over sensitive info for the checks and whilst you can't categorically link it with this situation it does at least raise the possibility.

Has he got the money back yet ?

For a number of reasons, I'm finding it hard to believe he had £16k in a betting account. Anybody else?

obv - he was just using his ability to generate publicity to persaude the company to refund him. No interest whatsoever in the security of average punters, who don't have such a weapon.

For a number of reasons, I'm finding it hard to believe he had £16k in a betting account. Anybody else?....He has tipped up some massive priced Winners.....That was over 6 Months ago mind you.

Why would anyone leave £16k with a bookie? The bookie is not governed by FCA and neither is any of their personnel. Also, a booie can willy-nilly frustrate or deny access or even confiscate one's money merely citing id verification, money-laundering, etc. And, all these sharp practices are within their terms and conditions.

Stupid and crazy I say.

you must have bundles in then

theres good reason to leave it there-you cant put any more in these daze

If you look for opportunities on unmanaged markets after midnight you'll always need as much as financially possible.

Amazing the goodies that can be unwrapped.

Leaving 16k in there is risky enough, leave it in there presumably without 2 step authentication is plain bonkers.

i know several who have a lot more than that in here and starsports and 653

Surely with any degree of commonsense you would "lock it up" with a cheltenham ante post lay bet @1.01 so it cant/wont be taken.  80% of mine is.

It's with a bookmaker account, Geoff, not an exchange.

ah O.K George my bad. thanx.

How does that help geoff?  If your account is compromised all the attacker has to is cancel the (I'm presuming unmatched) bet and then help himself to the money?

2FA is absolutely vital, imo.

it is an academic exercise, but someone who gains access to an account would be likely to just look at the balance and not delve into bet history.

Serves you right you fu*king bellend for all the bollocks you’ve spoken on various platforms regarding all of this. Karma at its absolute finest.

Careful. If you have a bad day or a bad run, the algorithm is going to look at that ante post offer and decide that you've committed 80% of your bank to chasing your losses. It's why I wouldn't do that.

I know I shouldn't but I did laugh when I read that. I'll have to do something to repent

and what would the "algorithum" do about it screaming ?

Has he got it back yet?

It would be nice if he could let us know because you can bet your life he reads this post.

16k deposit?

Howard: Presumably ask to see evidence of affordability.

Fink he's either drunk and posting attention seeking crap others done his bollocks backing his own tips and he has actually lost it...either a strong possibility..

He not mentioned it since…posts it then it’s like it never happened,,what a bell end

He only mentioned it to put pressure on the company to reimburse, which they obviously did, so he ended the discussion.

Tanked up ,16 large gone on Casino or Poker IMO

I'd try and get that deleted if I were you.

Why ? Would not be the first Time it had Happened Dave ? And are we not entitled to hold Opinions ?

Someone is Going on about 16 K missing from an Account , Then they stop tweeting about it ,Sounds rather strange to me TBH

indicating that a company's employee has a drink and gambling problem on the same company's forum is a risky strategy imo, but gl.

well,he's pretty well known for getting into late night,drink fuelled spats on twitter..many times quite entertaining...in this case many fellow twitterers wished him well and had genuine concern as to the outcome...surely it would be a courtesy to let them know how it resolved...in fact would even be courteous to the firm involved to let know it had all been sorted out...by the way I take it you're 2468 on titter,Dave?

Keep em coming Casemoney, you clearly stated it was your opinion only, some on here would be more

at home in China or N.Korea.

by the way I take it you're 2468 on titter,Dave

no

some on here would be more at home in China or N.Korea.

So my opinion that it's risky to insult employees of a forum isn't acceptable, but his potential libel is ok?

Dave it was Tongue in Cheek ,never the less it has happened in the Past as has some one else having access to an Account

Suggesting some one is Tanked up does not mean they have a Drink Problem , Have you ever been Tanked Up ?

Doesn't sound like Tony has got has had his funds returned yet:

I've been going to betting shops ever since my ongoing issues in mid-December (still unresolved), and it is frightening how bad their horse racing offerings are compared to online. Zero incentive to bet in shops, and they are wilfully contributing to the decline in the sport.
