Do you work for ladbrokes, betplom? Well, just as a warning re. this offer: my free bet pushed and they originally settled it as a loser. It took a very long, protracted series of e-mails before they grudgingly gave me another shot with the free token. Also, look very closely at the vagueness of rule 7 (at first, they tried to say my push was the equivalent of a void bet. One "help"-line operator even asserted that when the total is 8 and 8 runs are scored, "under" bets lose because the total didn't go under 8!!!). Also note the complete get-out of rule 8. You can never be 100% certain that you'll get the refund.
This company also will not tolerate regular winners or those who catch just a few good early lines. If you do, your limits will be reduced to pennies without any prior warning.
SBR should not give this company an A+ rating if it cares in any way about protecting players.Comment -

Baus, I haven't made many baseball wagers with Ladbrokes but I did bet alot of hockey games with them last season when they had a similar promotion regarding NHL shootout losses.Originally posted by BAUS
I had a few shootout losses and my freeplay was in my Ladbrokes account the next day, never had a problem.Comment -
If they continue that promo again this season for NHL I will be there!
BAUSComment -
I've had a few free bets from this promotion and have never had a problem with Ladbrokes settling bets incorrectly. One free bet was not credited automatically but this was quickly sorted by email.Comment -

They do not take US action, they are one of the biggest bookmakers in the UK, I can't say if they will offer the NHL shootout loss freeplay promo again this season but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.Originally posted by InTheHoleComment -
Reading this e-mail (see below), it is obvious if you're a mug you'll be very welcome at ladbrokes, which is, as betprom seems often willing to point out, "one of the biggest bookmakers in the UK". However, as they admit, despite being "one of the biggest bookmakers in the UK", they don't want anyone who might find a decent line among their many indecent lines because, as they again admit, they are only here to make a fat profit for themselves and their shareholders (could this explain the gushing betprom's apparent idolization of this company?).

Thank you for your e-mail regarding internet restrictions .
I am sorry to learn of your frustration in placing bets over the
Internet. We can confirm that you are currently limited on any given
event. This has been applied to your account as a result of some of the
business you have placed with us.
We can assure you we do wish to attract customers to our service whether
they win or lose. We do though have a responsibility to run the business
profitably and therefore we do restrict certain customers and certain
bets.
We do regularly review the stake factors on accounts in line with the
business patterns of our customers and we may look to alter the factor
in the future.
We can also offer you the Telephone Betting number which is +44 208 866
4488. If you phone your bets in using this number we may be able to
accommodate your bets. This is because a decision will be made by one of
our trading team according to whether the bet suits the book. By
contrast, restrictions on the internet are applied across the board.
If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us again and we
will be more than happy to help you.
Yours sincerely,
David

I would play there without fear of being stiffed. If they reduce limits or even reduce your limits to $1, oh well, make your money and leave.

Good info Betplom, thanks.
Billy, stop whining about having limits cut and act like you have been there before, OK?Comment -
This is a great promo from ladbrokes. Only fool wouldn't take advantage. Just wish my bet limit was higher for Baseball.Comment -
No danger of being stiffed. They're ultra quick to limit if you bet on US sports though, or any other sports outside their areas of core competence (ie football/rugby/cricket). Same as willhill, paddy, bet365, and the other big UK/Irish ones.Comment -
i think there are book let you bet prop for no extra inningsComment
