Take it as a badge of honour. They only generally restrict successful punters so you must have done something right in the past.

My tip is to use Betfair. Because you're betting against other people rather than a bookie the odds are almost always better - and you aren't restricted.

 

Current odds for us on Betfair are 20's!

Betway go 125/1 and there are six firms at 100'S.

I've had these sort of restrictions on my horsey bets with Skynobet. Chandlers also withdrew the "best odds guaranteed" concession (and me in turn my business). All part of the game, I'm afraid!

 

Guys ..... it won't be a personal issue here, it will just be the liabilities at market level set in their system. They would probably have it low (say max liability loss of £5k) so if other punters were taking up the bulk of the £5k it would pro rata what's left....I.e. 12p to you.

It's also not a major market at this time of year so the compilers won't be looking at resetting the odds or increasing their liability as one of their priorities .....remember it's also one their busiest times of years too!

There is the possibility there is a personal liability on your account too (e.g if they know you are a reds fan who has insider info) but that is less likely given the 12p offer they allowed you ....for info individual account liabilities can also compound with their market liability.

 

Just put a £10 bet on it, so it's nothing to do with max liability.
