When is something going to be done about this pathetic excuse of a bookmaker?

Should be laws similar to Australia

Slight differences from state to state but roughly...

Online or course bookies not allowed to close or restrict winning accounts
Any race must lay to lose 1,000 Dollars, 2,000 for better class races

But who is going to champion it? Gamblers are vermin and looked down upon by the powers to be. Chamberlin and Chapman have their noses in the trough and never say anything about these ridiculous restrictions. Chamberlin even does their sickening adverts, I mean FFS what chance have we got!

Start playing the casino games at midnight try to look like you are chasing loses. Im sure you will then get on without restrictions.

the operating licence from the GC is granted to provide gambling facilities to players in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland).

that's what Sly have been granted a licence to do.  if they're no longer going to do that, without good reason, you should be able to object to their licence.  Whats the conversation between the GC and Sly ?  Why is Trusty limited to 54p ??  Umm, because he might win.  LaughLaugh give us the licence back you bunch of wnkrs.

Halved in price, now I am allowed a quid. Madness at 14/1 this beast is a lay not a back.

Withdraw your balance and walk away.

My balance is zero, I don't place bets for 50p! They are now 10/1 this runner whilst everyone else around 16/1. Has a better chance now LITD a n/r as less likely to be hotly contested for the lead.

Every single punter at every single bookmakers must all be losers. otherwise you'll be severely restricted or closed.
if these firms have 5,000 punters and 4,999 are losers, the one person who wins will be banned. its disgusting

Just read your post 0.09 on multiples and 0.00 for e/w that is so ridiculous it beggars belief.

As if gambling was not hard enough to have to fight to get a bet on often at disadvantageous odds just makes it so less appealing. I am getting ready for my e/w bet on the Ebor to be similarly limited. So sad, kids are not interested in racing much and all the "older" punters are being squeezed out. It's not going to end well, I am sure of that.

Everyone on here seems to be a winner, or that's what's claimed , it makes you wonder how the exchange is still operating.

You don't have to be a winner to get restricted, just beat the S/P now and again and the panic sets in.
Like Trusty says, it won't end well and racing will be the big loser

I do not think I said I am a winner. I said my bets were restricted. In fact for 25 years I was a big loser, the last 20 years have been much improved but there is no doubt I have been limited by some books even though my account was overall negative; and I have never ever arbed a single bet; I want the risk.

Guess you bet with the triads over in Thailand?

whats strange about not being a winner,?
i've had a couple of 365 accounts where i won a few ££ and was closed, but they did give me a spin for a while.
that's about all though

It does not bode well for Racing.

The bookmakers resent paying a levy to racing or media fees to the tracks. So they punish the punters who bet on the horses, content to live off build a bet other sports and their on line casino's with little risk involved.

Good luck if you own a horse and want a bet these days. Better off sending it to France or South Africa to race.

The bookmakers won the biggest watch ever when they stopped paying tax on stakes.

Barry Hearn's interview the other day was interesting

With respect to the op this beast has no chance. Why a "bookie" won't take ALL bets on it to ANY stakes is beyond me. What are they afraid of? Clearly they want everyone betting on their virtual where they can control the results etc...

has more to do with beating the price than winning.  i opened a bet vc account, had three bets on Saturday morning, got an email half an hour before the first one ran informing me i'd been cancelled.  because his stooges could see i'd beaten the price. 

all three lost.  3 bets, loser, loser, loser.  account closed.  nothing to do with winning.

That's not unusual hulk. i'd love to know the percentage of accounts restricted or closed by these firms

The irony is responsible gambling (that they all preach) is about research value and discipline. Funnily enough if you do that you are banned!
