Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?

Stetrovers,
your missing the bigger picture.
If you have a winning account online or if your always winning in the same shops in the same area, they will limit your stake.
I know people who have had there stake limited to a £5iver, the bookies do it to discourage them from betting with them anymore and to go elsewhere.
They don't like winning accounts, and you can guarantee if you where having regular 3 figure wins your allowed stake would be limited.

Don't forget, they aren't bookies any more.
They make far more money of the mugs who play on the FOBS in-shop or the virtual casino/slots online.
Why do you think they have been giving luxury days out to tory and labour mps, lavishing them with constituencies funds, etc.
Because they want the new gambling bill to give them unrestricted numbers of those evil FOB machines in their shops, effectively turning them into no more than casinos.

But don't worry, most of them are registered in Gibraltar so they can limit their tax liabilities.

The only way you can consistently put on big winning bets these days is with betfair or betdaq. They offer superior odds on the exchanges so why anyone would want to bet with the highstreet bookies is beyond me.

The art of traditional bookmaking is well gone; the current crop are a fraud.
