Beating The Bookies Accounts Become Restricted

By HarryFox on February 14, 2010 — 6 comments

Once you are successful at beating the bookies. You will quickly learn they won’t play fair restricting your accounts and offers, so be warned.

This is an ongoing battle for me personally, to actually keep bookmaker accounts open and get my stake money on.

I want to make you aware, especially BetPlan Members, one thing to watch out for on your bookies accounts, so you don’t get caught out.

As you know recently a lot of bookmakers have moved over to offering best odds guaranteed. However that’s only seems to be the case, if you are a normal losing punter.
Now if you are beating the bookies at their own game and winning money, one of the restrictions they will put on your account is to take the best odds guaranteed offer away.

So double check your accounts and returns on winnings. You can get around this by opening new accounts, but you will find bookmakers will change the rules, usually without any warning or notice.

Personally I could rant on about this all day: They only want you to bet with them if you lose money etc but I won’t. I will just open more accounts and hit them harder were it hurts them, in their pockets.

Keep ahead of the game and make sure you have new accounts ready to use, once they realise you’re consistently winning money from them. Bookmakers will start restricting your accounts in various different ways, this example being one of them.

Best Wishes, Harry

I’ve copied a couple of emails I’ve received over the last few weeks from Stan James and Tote Sport, so you know what to expect.

Further to your enquiry regarding the payment of your bet on: selection race and date. Unfortunately, as a factored client, you are not entitled to the best odds Guaranteed, as per the Terms and conditions of the offer.

You will notice any reference to the best odds Guaranteed will not be visible once you have logged in to your account. Before logging in, you can click the best odds Guaranteed ‘Read Now’ and this takes you to the T&C’s – which I have copied below for your convenience:

Terms and Conditions
Best odds guaranteed is available for a limited time only and applies only to bets placed online at totesport.com. It applies to all UK and Irish races and both single and multiple bets. The offer does not include antepost, totepool or ‘win only’ bets. In the event of a “Rule 4 c” (see totesport.com rules), we will pay you at the bigger odds after the Rule 4 deduction has been applied. Totesport reserves the right to withdraw this guarantee at any time.
Customer exemptions from this guarantee apply – see your online betslip to see if you are eligible.

On the bet slip of customers who not entitled to the Best odds Guaranteed offer there is no ‘B’ or any reference to the offer. As the customer the onus is with you to ensure you are aware of any T&C’s which accompany the bet you are placing.

Unfortunately, therefore, I can only confirm your bet has been settled correctly on occasion.

Kind Regards

AND

Thank you for your recent email.

I can confirm that your account has no longer been eligible for the Best Odds Guaranteed Offer for some months now. Customers affected were informed via email where appropriate in July. I apologise if you were not aware of this now, and I have as a gesture settled this bet for you at the bigger SP of 5/6, however I would make you aware of this from this point onwards.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

Kind regards
