Big Bet restrictions

[pottsymaskell]

I have been attempting the asian bookies with high roller bonuses, and as such have been placing high stakes bets and dutching them against the mainstream bookies. I have found that i have been restricted by Willhill, betfred, boylesports & expekt to small bets at the descretion of their trading departments.

Sky bet, coral, bet365 and paddypower are fine with the larger bets ranging between 100 and 500£.

has anyone else had these problems and managed to resolve them?

Also posted for the benfit of info for others considering dutching the high roller deposits.

Generally you'll be looking for slightly slow to move out of line odds for a start so once you couple that with placing stakes into the hundreds of £s, it's to be expected really that the UK/Euro books will put limits in place. So the answer is yes, it's not unusual. The ones you've listed as ok with your bets are also known to limit, you just haven't been limited yet. Can limits be removed? Well, the limit you have online might not be the limit you get on the phone for a start (it may improve on the phone) and Ladbrokes told me they do review accounts and can lift limits, certainly I've experienced Paddy Power lifting limits to some extent. In the main though, once you're done for, I think it's safe to say you're probably done for!

I've managed to keep a bunch of accounts alive, the vast majority I've probably not bet 3-figure sums on I reckon... not that it's a guarantee you won't get limited but certainly big bets on soft lines are more likely to wave the "limit me" flag I would think.

the amusing is paddypower did not limited you. They are well know for limiting everything which moves.

You should used the asian bookies as exchanges to do other SUBs and reloads.

BTW wager outside the big leagues is halfway to get limited.

Everyone has this problem, and it can't be resolved. Place smaller bets and you'll last longer, but it's not an exact science. I lost Expekt through an ill-advised 10% arb, Boyle's during the bet basket, Paddy through my wife's SUB, and 365 from another unwise massive arb. Still ok with the rest of them, but I seldom bet more than £100.

Ladbrokes, for reasons which are beyond understanding, allow you to close your account then open a new one which is unrestricted limits again. When I phoned up about my limits I was actually advised by the CS rep on the phone that was a way to do it I only phoned about it after someone on this forum said that was true, I scoffed at them, phoned Ladbrokes so I could come back and say he was talking rubbish but in fact no it was true, you can

You dont get to have the bonuses twice, dont try that even if offered them it will end in tears. But it does (or at least did) get you higher limits. This was a long time ago, maybe a year so might not be true now, but it was true then and I havnt actually heard of the policy changing.

I don't know what the reality is now or how it would work in practice trying to open a new account but in terms of what they said June about this (closing an account and coming back later), it was: "If at anytime you wish to re open your account, please contact our customer service desk on 0800 032 1133. Alternatively, you can send an email to care@ladbrokescasino.com." So the direction was clearly away from just opening another account without first contacting them - but that's not too surprising of course!

A friend of mine just closed his account on the advice of Ladbrokes as it was linked to mine as we both signed up from the same PC a few months back. He signed up his new account from his home and deposited £100 for the current casino bonuses. Today he has had the £100 SUB credited to his account, which of course he'd already had. Stuck it all on roulette and bust in one as he wanted it out of his account before true earned bonuses were paid in.

I wonder what if that spin had won?

Ladbrokes do seem to be the exception to the rule,they told me that i can have as many accounts as i wished as long as each was funded by a different method,so far i have 3,1 is limited to £100 of winnings,the second is about to be limited{bloody geegees,can`t stop winning there}and the 3rd is untouched at the moment.
