    Sorry mate, it's because I had a flutter on them. Anything I touch loses. Must have lost about 10 bets on the spin now betting on the favourite...

    Only saving grace is I apparently got a free ten pound bet as they were losing at half time... Watch me waste that!

    Leicester were bang average though. They're going to struggle to hit the heights of last term, and really seemed to miss that injection of pace in the middle of the park. Did not look comfortable having to take the game to Hull rather than sitting back and hitting on the counter. Kasper Schmeichel was arguably at fault for both goals as well.

    I know a Man U fan years back and he always bet on them to win 3-1 and 3-0 and seemed to do ok, I have a system and always done me well in the past, upto his season and usually one of two bets a month get me out of the smelly stuff but seriously down this season, cannot not believe how many goals well into extra time have cost me a fortune this season, the Arsenal burnley, England away game and the Iceland Finland games have cost me a fotune, and that 4th goal between man city and barca cost me as well but that was not in injury time !

    Need duckett to come good in the cricket and also lost a lot on rugby this season, some very very weird scores and all blacks wiping the floor with goods teams has not helped, usuall do,ok at the rugby.

    But will stick to the system !

    Think sheff Utd are good value in div 1, got on them a couple of weeks ago at 7/1 on the nose, think you can get 7/2 on them now, hit form and a big team, but I also said they would walk it in the last two seasons but did not see any value in them.

    Had a small wager on the over/under 2.5 goals today. I was sure the scum were going to mess up the bet when they went 0-2 up early on, but no, a Christmas miracle.

    Here is a question for Otter I think, this has got be baffled, I do like a gamble and do bet quite a bit and I am banned from numerous major bookies because of my betting patterns and I had the cheek to win a few bets, recently a bookies who I dont really use that much stated that when I go to place a bet said max I am allowed is 1p, i tried to bet 1p to see what would happen and it does not let you make bets as low as 1p I emailed the bookies and they just sent the a email saying read the small print. What I dont get is that I have lost nearly a grand to this bookies over the last 2 years. Also a couple of weeks ago they paid a winner as a loser (£200.00 Winning, a £10 bet at 20/1) I thought they would correct it in the hour they did not, it took me over an hour on the phone to make them pay up, they did not apologise or admit they were wrong, they just said they would pay up on this occasion, I was not rude on the phone but maybe a bit sarcastic saying they dont make mistakes when I lose and pay up losers as winners. Why would they ban me, do bookies share information now? I am banned from about 6 sites but I have had some big winners with them but dont get this one as they make about £500 a year off me?

    I doubt that your information is shared between betting companies as that would be unethical, also the gambling industry is a bit incestuous so race managers and odds compilers do move from bookie to bookie but the sort of winnings you're talking about is small-fry so you almost certainly won't be black-listed by a human. List the companies that you have been banned/restricted by and I'll get back to you.

    Thanks Skybet, Paddy Power, Betway, Stan James, Coral, Boylesports and Betbright, Betbright is the one I have lost with so dont get it and did not use them that much, the others I have won a bit with

    I know there is nothing I can do but I find it very strange and would love to know what triggered it

    I'm not familiar with Betbright, I will PM you with what I think you can do a bit later. I do have one question though, have you ever tried to create an account with anyone else and been refused point blank or refused to be able to place any bet whatsoever after registering?
     
  22. iamofwfc

    iamofwfc Squad Player

    No that has never happened (yet), did not use betbright that much, but they are on odds checker so I like to stick with bookies on there, I like it that they text you your bet as well and if you won of lost, not sure about all the new bookies, I like to met mainly on Football, Rugby and Cricket, I rarely go for favs, usually look for value bets, only bet on horses at National and Derby and maybe Cheltenham, but total guess work with them, have won the Grand National 2 out the last 3 years not with massive bets. I had a massive win with Bet365 and they are my favs and have not restricted me or stopped me using offers. I could understand if they banned me

    Two words. Matched Betting.

    It is now at epedemic proportions due to sites such as "profit accumulator" which basically targeted students and housewives with promises of untold riches. As soon as this site got popular I lost almost all of my own bookies as soon as I got close to taking up any sort of bonus offering. The bookies are getting hammered by matched bettors to such an extent that if you even come close to raising their suspicions then you're history, as you've discovered.

    That's it. It's not personal or due to you winning/losing. You've just looked like a matched better at some point which was enough.

    Oh yeah, and betting on horses flags you quicker.

    Thanks for that, can you explain it a bit more, never heard of "Matched betting" also I hardly ever bet on horses (I am not disputing what you are saying would just like explained in a bit more detail)
     
  26. iamofwfc

    iamofwfc Squad Player

    Just read up of "Matched betting" and i dont really use the offers in that way as they cause more problems than they are worth a lot of the time, surely the bookies should just withdraw the offer to you and let you keep on betting
