    William Hill Sportsbook - is a joke!
    I had a good run at William Hill. They then made it so my maximum wager was $0.01 (1 cent). They didn't lock my account, but made my account useless. Why?

    "The decision to restrict your account was made by our trading department and simply reflects the fact that you are a very good judge in terms of picking winning selections and winning monies."

    So it is a one sided relationship. Idiots. Stay away from them, and don't waste your time.

        It is a joke that they don't kill your account, but make it so you can't wager. What is the point? Would they be so generous if I was losing money left, right and centre?

          I guess not lol... I'm also limited there ... but you can use BetFair which would never get limited.

            Thanks. I am looking for another sportsbook that has no issue using * as both a deposit and a withdrawal method.

            Cheers.

              Not sure what is this deposit and withdrawal method? Can you spell it with different characters (e.g. you cannot type MastarKard in the forum but if I spelled it the way I spelled it you know what I'm referring to)

                Just take the capital letters. Or, take the first letter of each of these words to make out what I am trying to say.

                I see bet366 offers this method. Thanks.

                  I've never heard of it - why can't you use Moneybookers instead?

                      When I use MB, my bank takes off $15.00 off the top just to do the SWIFT transfer. With IB, it is $0.00.

                        Time to use Carribean books instead of Euro books me thinks.

                              bet365 will limit you quickly as well. Pinnacle is the only answer. You should have accounts with like of Stanjames, Victor CHandler, WH, etc... just to get arbs and make the most you can then leave

                                  Thanks. I have Pinnacle, never heard of Stanjames of Victor Chandler - are they reputable? Will they payout? Do you know if they offer accounts in Canadian dollars?

                                  WH - They have banned me (see the subject of this thread).

                                      Thanks. I have found quite a few that will let me keep accounts in Canadian dollars. I appreciate the help. Time to say goodbye to WH. I got an email from them that tells me they won't close my account in case I want to use their other products, like their online casino. There will be a higher probability of the Miami Dolphins NFL team winning the Superbowl this year than me ever logging into WH again.

                                          Ladbrokes kicked me out after I won quite big on a´NFL game.

                                          Victor Chandler kicked me out 18 hours after I placed the first bet, five bets that I lost. At the same time it was an interview at SBR with one of the leading characters at VC. We were the first to offer exceptional service. Ha ha ha!

                                          First I loved William Hill, could bet there for about three months, After that they cut my limits on my favourite games to about 100 dollars. I could bet these amounts for about a year. I really liked them, there was no problem to get a requested bet at least half approved. Now they are horrible.

                                          Now the program cuts me when I place a bet to what I think is about 1 % of max stake. The most I can bet now is about 8 dollars on my favourite game.

                                          William Hill - the home of limiting
