Ken- A Word Of Advice -Change Your Bookmaker

[gollob]

Sky bets are giving useless odds. Change to Betfair whose odd are Johnson 9/1(Sky 9/1) Westwood, 64/1 (28/1) ,Finau 43/1(28/1), Webb Simpson54/1(30/1), Schauffele, 28/1 (20/1) Michelson 280/1(100/1)

I tried to place £100 bet on the speedway league championship of Poole at 7/1. They would only take £44 as they had jut signed a world champion (Greg Hancock)Of course they won the league and Sky Bet closed my account
They will not even take a selection on the ITV 7 on Saturdays and that is a free bet

Same e/w terms?
McIlroy playing? I won a few quid on him when he first came on the scene.
Wish I could get an account closed for winning too much. ;)

Whoever you bet with, be prepared to go to court if you get a really large win ;-)

Poor old bookies are always being scammed. Some chaps even think they 'deserve' it.
Obviously haven't seen any evidence in that^ case but you can't blame the bookies for casting a gimlet eye over big winners, chris.

Don't have a Betfair account, Spice, and not opening anymore gambling accounts - already have 9.
Sky's prices are conducive with their 11 places - Betfair are going 10.
And i'm looking at Betfair prices now; Westwood 28s, Schauffele 22s, Finau 28s, Simpson 33s and Mickelson 100s. Same as Sky??
As for bets being closed, the BIG Victor Chandler closed mine a few years back because i was doing too much withdrawing and not enough depositing. I think my mistake was always leaving something in there to have a bet with.

Accounts being closed, not bets :-(

[Spicerack]

Well done for getting an account closed, ken.
I should point out, it wasn't me offering the Silver Ghost advice. As if.

[Ken4155]

Those prices you quoted are on the Betfair Exchange, Spice.

[Spicerack]

I'd give you best answer but it wasn't my question or advice.

[Ken4155]

Soz, Spice. What with you pointing it out to me on the other thread:-)
Gollob, i've never ever had a problem with Sky and have in fact been using them more often than most of my other on line accounts. And they have never refused my £1 e.w. acca on the ITV 7, even when the payout is the limit. That said, if i did win their limit, i wouldn't be too fussed if they then closed my account:-))
