    ladbrokes limited my betting amount to pennies

    Ladbrokes limited my betting amount to 1-10 € after 4-5 bets.
    Must be a mistake, anyone knows how can I increase the limit?

    You were probably betting on a very big favourite or a market with very low turnover.

    Try to bet on some bigger sports/markets. Try the World Cup qualifiers this evening. Try Finland-Russia, Holland-Norway, Ukraine-Kazakhstan. I think you can bet more than just pennies on these matches.

    Good luck.

    Not a mistake. That's European for "please leave, your money isn't welcome here."

    Call them, you may get slightly more on. They're known to put max bet of zero on any selection eventually if they don't like your style so it's not a mistake.

    I've never had a problem with ladbrokes, including getting a bonus (2 x Ģ100 freeplays for a Ģ100 deposit and bet). Assuming they're like any other UK books, I don't expect to last there long, but they're good while I can bet there.

    If they think you're a mug you will keep your high limits. If you show any possibility of beating them, your limits will be cut until its not worth your while attempting to play there

    Diarrhee, consider yourself finished at Ladbrokes, as they will not raise your limits. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of profitable months there years ago before they red-carded me...I just checked now, and I can still wager there if $10 maximums were my thing.

    Here in Croatia they operate under name "Stanleybet". They have about 15% profit margin and lots of limits when trying to play "big" money. Today they refused my bet of about 300 Euro!
    Too big risk for their managment.

    LOL

    Same with all British/Irish books, it's the culture of the industry here.

    Different company... but most UK firms use the same philosophy, close down the winners.

    You are right. It is owned by Stanley Leisure plc. located also in GB.
    They have about 1000 stores around the world, 700 of them in England.

    But, we can agree - it is all same BS.

    Iīm glad I donīt ever waste my time with Ladbrokes because they donīt want germans.
    I donīt understand the buiseness of all those british books which limit you to maximum stakes of 2 Euros.
    They all want to earn millions with this 2 Euro punters as their customers.
    What kind of buiseness modell is that? This is pure bullshit.

    They take the high bets cos mug highrollers are a really large part of their profits - I think willhill has a special unit dedicated to servicing these guys :-)
