They restrict to £3 something after one winning or even one losing bet, Boyles, Betway, the same..

Its not a restriction issue, I only bet small. Its the site has been butchered, and you cant even do something as simple as bet a horse at SP (unless Im missing something).If every race was BOG it wouldnt matter

Can't see how to bet at SP either.

why not use the exchange sp if you aren't betting much? It will almost always be better.

its gone for me. Also the early prices are beyond a joke. Sportsbook seems to be pointless imo these days. They literally dont seem to want to take bets :)

Never realised so many on here used that Sportsbook thing.

Lots of reasons to use Sportsbook for certain bets once you are a PC payer. I used to use it more than the Exchange for things like Cheltenham. No PC to pay, extra places on each way, BOG back in the day etc.

Ans so a successful PC payer is able to bet unrestricted on Sportsbook?

I believe (I wish I had cause to know from personal experience) it's less about being unrestricted and more about not paying 20%+ of your winnings to BF - Sportsbook profits don't count for PC aiui.

My point is that a punter so successful to have to pay the PC Charge has no problem getting on with Sportsbook.

indeed sparrow and longbridge you forget that if the bet loses, you don't get credit for that loss against pc.

btw whether it's deliberate or not who knows. Shybet (same group) stopped an sp option on their offer races eg big handicaps with extra places.

it could just be incompetent user acceptance testing.

I can still get some on for big meetings like Cheltenham, and then use an exchange for the balance. Don't really use it for anything else so can't speak for the more normal volume markets.
