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

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!
 
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...
 
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
 
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

Nod Nod.


I'm fortunate to have a mate who let's me use his which is virtually undectable as long as I am careful

Stuck £10 of free bets on Princess Vega for the Mares Novice Hurdle @ 25/1. Skybet have recently added her before she runs today at 2.05. Big price, free bet, full daughter of the legend Quevega, trained by WPM - loads to like even this early.

I’ve laid her today at 1.98

Very short first time up in a big field maiden.
 
Preview from Willie's website:

'Princess Vega (Paul) makes her debut in the 4YO Maiden Hurdle over 2 miles. She is Quevega’s first foal and is a nice filly who should pay her way over the summer. She jumps well so we decided to start her off over hurdles. She is fit and well and if she can overcome her lack of experience she might be good enough to land this average looking maiden.'

Is it me or are there fewer ante post options with Sky this year ?
I seem to remember the choices being endless in 2018.
Also, they’ve reduced the number of free bet offers significantly so building a Cheltenham portfolio has meant using cash this year which lowers enthusiasm levels...
