Request-a-Bets (was 'Sky Bets' thread)

[Middle_Of_March]

Yeah I can see, looks a fair price.



I still think 'saving' the 'free' £5 bets is a good way to go this year, but easier said than done.

I tried that. My willpower wasn’t in agreement.

However.. I’m trying again to save them from Monday onwards

[somer1]

Was gunna chick this weeks £5 @ Draconien but the nice people at Bet 365 gave me a free bet so hit it with them.So just added week 6.

week 1. Santini Gold Cup @ 12/1.
Week 2. Santini Gold Cup @ 12/1.
Week 3. Paisley Park (stayers) Altior (QM) Klassical Dream (any) @ 100/1
Week 4. Envoi Allen & Malone Road any race 66/1
Week 5. Envoi Allen & Klassical Dream any race 66/1
Week 6. Carefully Selected any race @ 16/1

Couldn’t find the bookmaker/offers thread so thought I’d throw this in here, betway, who aren’t exactly renowned for creative offers, had a bet £50 on tonights City/Utd game and get £100 free bet.
Too late now for anyone to take advantage but it marks a shift in their marketing so maybe expect a few more of these.
At this stage it’s all Altior/Paisley park doubles of course...

Betway bet £50 on Liverpool/Barca game get free £50 bet +another £50 free bet if Mane scores.
If you like having an interest on live football matches take advantage of these offers, good way to kick start your Cheltenham portfolio.
Betway also do a free bet up to £200 if your horse finishes 2nd in a live TV race, as irritating as it is getting beat these are nice size free bets for Cheltenham....

Make the most of it from them while you can, I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who has had a Betway account restricted, last year I got about 400 quid worth of free bets from them in the space of 4 or 5 months just mainly £5 and £10 free bets used them all on ante post and then got the dreaded email from them, kind of had the last laugh tho when I had used some free bets on topofthegame at 16/1 and defi du seuil 12/1

I’m old enough and cynical enough to know that every account will be restricted in the end, but at current levels I’ll nick 3k/4k in free bets and if I don’t have a half decent return from those free bets I shouldn’t be punting.
Betfair and the likes of Star Sports are the future, until that day comes these offers should be taken...

*nod nod*

Don't actually take advantage of the Betway one at the moment.... will certainly start though, as Sky are on to me.


The confirming of addresses / verifying accounts and details for each bookie isn't helping

[Salubrious Chin]

I received an email from Hills this morning asking to verify my account, strange considering how long I've been with them.

On the topic of restrictions it's getting worse, due to profitable bets over the last few years on the Festival and cricket I've had the following accounts restricted.

Coral
Betway
Betfair / PP
Bet365
Sky
Betfred
SportingBet

Really only leaves me with Hills, Ladbrokes, BV and Unibet. Suspect I might have angered Hills with bets on the IPL this year, in particular one e/w bet at 100-1 when the price should have been 12-1. Plus nailing them on Chacun Por Soi for the QM.

Time to speak to the wife, although would rather she didn't know how much I stake!

[Istabraq]

You can set up duplicate accounts in family/friends names but they’ll eventually work you out, stakes, sports, markets, strategies etc, all bookies have software to pick this up, also devices/addresses etc will confirm you are the same person.
I can’t tell you how many 365 accs I’ve had and I’m deliberately changing amounts and markets.
P Power/Betfair Sportsbook will restrict anyone who plays for more than a fiver because they want your business on the exchange risk free.
It’s a constant battle and one we will all eventually lose I’m afraid...

[Salubrious Chin]

I've read that you can try get around the device/address issue by using a VPN to mask your IP. Not something I really want to invest time in so will try family/friends first, although I think with 365 don't you need to use a bank card in the name of the account holder in order to deposit? So asking friends to do this might be more hassle compared to close family.

They're all asking this at the moment as there's been a change in legislation and everyone needs to be fully verified now.

Probably spells the end of multiple accounts though

[robith]

Also Betway are a ridiculous firm. I had some professional dealings with them that left a sour taste, but I'm a £5 punter, £20 at Cheltenham, had a losing account with them and they restricted me. Ridiculous
