    More UK Bookie Account Restriction Questions
    I like to play the UK horses at early prices, taking the best price on Oddschecker for maybe 50 horses a day.

    However, I only play to win GBP20-30 on each horse at the moment.

    Stan James, however, has already limited me so I can only win GBP20 per horse, which is a pain because I sometimes want to try to win GBP30

    Also SportingBet sometimes restricts similarly.

    Therefore, what are my prospects regarding other books? What sort of restriction, if any, can I expect there? Are there any UK books who will not even consider restricting such a small-betting account regardless of unit profit?

    Are there any 'precautions' I should take? Obviously the plan on this system is to increase the staking with profits so I want to protect that ability.

    Feel free to PM me if appropriate.

      Who cares if they restrict your betting. There are so many bookies out there so it would take a long time to burn all your accounts.

      Not to mention probably 50+ phone bookies that will match stan james/billys and have best odds guaranteed on some races. Yes it is a hassle but they will easily take your action.

          It really baffles me that big name bookies in England limit players like this, I thought they were books where you wouldn't get any such issues, Stan James have shops all over the place, it seems crazy that they would limit people to such low limits. I thought they were could take big bets in the thousands without any problems.

              Its nothing to do with the size of the bets being placed, and more the fact they dont want customers who will not be profitable to them in the longer term, such as arbitrage & advantage players, If you are identified by the traders as someone who is playing with the bookies margins then they will soon limit you.

                  You may as well find something else to pursue, you're on an express train to limitsville hitting 40-50 out-of-line EPs each day.

                      do they limit you even in the shops or just on line, , with so many shops in the u.k in every city, you certainly have plenty of options

                          online primarily but if you're good I know firsthand that they will put your photo up at the local branches and deny you at the counter ...

                              The outs have a limited profitability per person. Frankly I wouldn't burn them until you are better bankrolled, as with most it's a time not profitability limitation.

                                  I take your point.

                                  However, with almost all the bookies I have a hundreds-of-bets history playing NBA, NFL, WNBA, MLB etc. etc. for higher stakes. Will this make a difference?

                                  Also with many I have used the casino, virtual games, poker etc - would this also have an effect on longevity?
