Cue Card to miss Cheltenham

[stilvi]

Well, I’m obviously not considered shrewd enough. Or perhaps they profile long range ante post punters differently. I’ve done all right out of my bets with them, and there’s never been a suggestion of a restriction.

Not so sure it is that. I was closed making a loss. Slipped under the radar maybe?

VC closed my account but I was making a profit. Got no gripe with that, up to them.

Another bookmaker who closed my account had a bookies rep I talked to (he’s not at the firm now). I asked why bookmakers close accounts? He told me it does not matter whether a punter is in profit or not. They look in to closing accounts when the

average price

taken beats SP by more than 20%. If so they know which way the account will go in future even if not in profit at the time.

Do you think that is what might have happpened to you Stilvi?

I have a vague memory of discussing this before. Hopefully, I gave the same answer. I was probably under the radar until I had £200 (the biggest bet I had with them) on an odds on shot in the Eurovision Song Contest. There was a bit of fuss about getting the bet on and I didn’t last much longer after that. Not a mistake I will be repeating.
