2016 Arkle Trophy Novices Chase

We(FJ) should launch a bookmaker review/ranking website that covers all pros and cons and also allow customers to post their reviews, so it will run itself with the content driven by customers. It is more than fair for new customers to know what they are signing up to.

I understand your frustration with the timing of the restriction but your exchange betting is not effected by this. Your sportsbook activity has been restricted, this was a business decision made by our trading team who are under no obligation to explain their reasons I'm afraid.
Your exchange betting will never be restricted in any way due to it being a 'player-to-player' market. I do apologise for any inconvenience caused by your sportsbook restriction but the decision is final.

Gotta love a helpful customer services team eh ?

Tell them you will take their advice and use the exchange, just not theirs, then try Matchbook

I agree with that.
I am seriously tempted to contact the Post to see if there's any appetite there to launch a campaign....

A waste of time Ista, they probably get complaints like this all the time.

The best way is to allow everyone to name and shame the bookies themselves in public via web. FJ can also benefit from this with all new customer sign ups by using their affiliate codes.
 
There was a guy complaining on the atr phone in last night about his bets being restricted and Matt Chapman just shrugged his shoulders and said they are running a business, you can't expect them to happily accept losses, I thinkthe RP would take a similar view, at the end of the day all these guys feed from the same trough
 
Yep, agree LR.
I'm surprised by that Mr M, always had Matt Chapman down as a man of the people, modern day Big Mac and voice of the punters.

Anyway, if Baltimore Rock wins or finishes second to Douvan that'll be my B365 account gone too lol

I feel your pain Isty, I've had a 365 account for a while though and they've been OK so far, I don't push it too much but I did take a fair amount off them at last year's fez, and at Crimbo with Flemenstar and a Don Poli/First Lieutenant Forecast, then rolled a packet onto Aristo du Plessis, they seem to take more on the chin than other bookies

I actually watched this as well MMG, he said his exchange got restraicted as well? If he didn't mention his exchange being restraicted then my money would have been on that guy being Ista. :D

Anyway, I would;t lose sleep over this Ista, Sportsbook are far from being the best online bookie anyway. Stick with 365 and you won't go wrong.

My money was on the guy being a Pratt, apart from the bet restriction, he was slating Ruby Walsh saying he didn't rate him and complained on behalf of all the punters who had the Mullins 4 timer on the opening day who were terribly let down by the the final hurdle fall, who the hell does he think rode the first 3 winners in that ACCA, what a douche

It was funny how MC put him straight and how he wouldn't give up.
 
lol !
They can't restrict exchange bets, it's not their money, they're just making commission on every transaction !

Shaneshill left in here !
 
Douvan

Douvan

I realised he's at the top of the Jlt market. He's being know where to being seen in market until now.
 
Don't panic Liam - he's 200/1+ on the exchanges. It's just bookies going nrnb!!
 
Baltimore Rock and Fox Norton look to have been confirmed as runners by NM.

I make it as Douvan, Vaniteux, Sizing John, The Game Changer, Fox Norton and Baltimore Rock as confirmed runners.

It looks like L'Ami Serge, Garde La Victoire, Outlander and Shaneshill will run in other grde 1's. On Tour looks to be running in the Nov Handicap Chase and Sizing Codelco the Grand Annual.

That only leaves Venetia Williams trained Aso and Zamdy Man, both of which have alternative entries. Does anyone know if they are likely to turn up?

I've backed Baltimore Rock w/o Douvan each way at 50/1 and I'm considering adding Fox Norton if the race is going to have less than 8 runners.
 
Zamdy Man is the wild card here, he has an Arkle and Country hurdle entry, make what you will of that !
On his day he can run a big race and there's no depth to this Arkle so if he was heading here I'd be adding him to the w/o Douvan portfolio at big prices, another at 50's in that market I'd be happy having vouchers on two 50s shots e/w in what could be a 6 horse race...
