Hi,

I've read on here from a few people that it is very easy get their online account limited or closed by a bookie. I've set my mate the challenge of having this done to him, just out of curiosity to see how easy this would happen and also it must mean you're winning. He won a big horse acca off a 5er and has about 400 quid in the account now. How should he proceed to get this account limited? Any advice on what bet sizes, minimum /maximum odds, particular sports?

I try hard not to get accounts limited , he already looks like a mug with a 5 pound bet on an acca.

I sometimes do small bets like 5 quid accas on non value lines to prolong the life of an account , if you want to get limited just give it to me ill have it limited in about 1 hour

Bet on big value line or money back specials only , take arbs , avoid accas and generally poor value bets, bet the max allowed for the money back special. Max out the sign up bonus.

A friend opened a paddy power for me for Australia tennis open offer refund if wins first set and loses match, new account deposited 2k did 20 x 100 bets on tennis matches and was limited to 1 pound bets next day.

Another friend opened a paddypower last time they had refund if draw in premier league i gave him list of games to take 1-0 2-1 and 2-0 on told him to deposit 1k and do 10 x 100 bets , 2 days later the account was useless.

So for example,

Given his stake, if he bet 100 on a horse @ evens and that horse went off @8/11. Would this be value betting?

Just read the article on arbitration, it says 20-30% of people who do it are victims of hackers. Anyone have experience or heard of this happening?

No. It's also Wikipedia so don't believe everything you read unless it's backed up.

Hi mate. Sorry was out all day had few bets earlier and backed ireland here before start. That's prob it for night. If I was to have a bet just entering this game now I'd back England + 5 . Massive wind and they are dominating territory. That's just my view no money on that bet

Wales to cover the 19 pointa against an abject looking Italy and an Italy yellow at 1.9 with Ladbrokes my investments for the opening game of the 6 nations .. (love this competition) All bets placed and im off to the pub to watch. Good luck if you follow (it would be wise)

not today,few decisions didnt go our way,shame looked class at half time!

i was all over Italy +20. Wales were always going to hold a bit back. tough call tomorrow, but i think Ireland might just cover the handicap.

The try at the start of the second half ruined the bet, I'm still not sure why it was given as it was plain day he threw it forward.

On to the next one

It was plainly forward - how did the TMO miss it? If you look at the lines on the pitch (the way it's cut or rolled, about 3 yards each??) you see it was thrown at the start of one and caught at the end of it. That try gave Italy renewed courage for the second half - but who knows what would have happened. I got burnt on no Italy yellow - thought Wales would dominate closer to the line more and discipline under pressure would cost Italy especially with the home crowd highlighting it....but not to be!

I ended up backing Huget for first try in the France game and thanks to PP I got paid double the odds - so made a bit.

Tomorrow is another day - hopefully availing of more doubling odds from PP!

whats the best even money shot this weekend ?

Olympic Speed skating
Mens 1500 meter

Pick: Koen Verweij to finish top 3
Odds: 1.91
Bookie: Unibet

The man won a medal already on the 1000 meters and is considered to be better on the 1500 as he is, compared to the real sprinters, a bit of a slow starter.
The fact that of all skaters he had the fastest last 400 meter at the 1000 tells a story.

The 1500 is the distance that is really decided in the last 400 meters. Get through that without losing too much time compared to 200 to 600 meters and you ll be in thetop. That last round is where the 100% sprinters lose a lot of time to guys like Verweij.

Verweij will start in the last heat and will know what he has to do for gold. Yes, i think he can get gold here (@5.5) and with those odds he is 2nd favourite behind Denis Yuskov (@5) who of course has home advantage.

Other Dutch skaters could proof to be very important as they start early and probably will put up times that are too good for most. Even bigger favourites than Tuitert and Groothuis could find the times those 2 set are too good for them.

It is really going to be about the last 400, skaters can completely explode there. And that is exactly where Verweij is at his best.

You can check my speed skating tips in this thread for earlier tips and results during the olympics.

inforfun

Verweij got the silver medal. 0.003 seconds away from gold.
