Major Bookmakers Guide

    Bet365 still allow me to have small stakes up to about 300 payout on golf but racing is pennies only although they did let me win about 8k before the restrictions

    Ladbrokes was a losing account for me but they restricted me anyway so max bet on anything is a couple of pence

    Hills account is restricted for racing but open otherwise although I hardly ever use it as I can do better on the exchanges

    Corals closed me down very quickly as with ladbrokes despite the account being losing

    Chandlers shut my account completely after just 2 £30 bets which both lost!!!!! Both were top price and naive early morning bets.

    888 closed me after about 700 profit

    Lots of others lasted no time at all

    Still have Skybet open somehow which is useful for golf betting but I think it’s days are numbered especially if Erling Haaland gets 40 league goals as I have a big payout coming. They keep asking me to cash it out but I’ve already done that on the exchange so no need.

    Betfair sport book completely spineless and with Paddy they limited me after a few hundred pounds in winnings

    The exchange is obviously ok although premium charge is a pain. The alternatives still lack liquidity for my purposes. Using the exchanges isn’t easy with tipsters but most of my stuff away from golf is my own pucks anyway so the pressure to get in quickly is not there

      Good luck with the Haaland bet Andy – looking very likely! There was quite a bit of social media attention paid to Sky offering early cash-outs after 9 or 10 games and what they were offering seemed very negative EV! Fingers crossed he stays fit and healthy!

      Thank you for the feedback about your bookmaker experiences – hopefully what we have here (and on the Independent Bookmaker page) can provide some alternative outlets to get bets down.

      It’s interesting to read about your losing accounts being limited relatively quickly – I’ve found the same thing as beating the SP seems to be the main metric to determine ‘sharp’ play rather than net P & L.

    I had an unrestricted Corals account for a long time after my Ladbrokes account had been restricted, so I don’t think account restrictions are applied automatically across the Entain group. However Corals did eventually restrict my account.

      Thanks for that Simon – I will update that with a ‘maybe’ as we’ve had a few recent examples where they have been closed in tandem. Having more examples of user experiences will help no end so thanks again for the comment.
