To have one of their bookmakers say "it is because I was following the money" and then another say "it is because I am backing the longshots", just does not add up.

Hi foggy,
I know you said you lost overall during those years, but what is the pattern of your winning-losing?
I no longer bother with bookies because I'm restricted to granny bets with three of the better ones, depending on odds.
I can have as much as I like on the fave, but I do not bet on them, I bet mostly in the $6 to $30 market and there I have a very low limit put on.
It could be that you are losing overall but winning on the long shots.
I can assure you they don't like that at all, on the fave they run a reasonably balanced book due to the mug money, but on a $15 shot even at $200 a bet they are hurting badly.
Anyway, if you can get matched on Betfair I don't think you are any worse off.
The fact that you were with them for 14 years, mate, loyalty to the customer is a thing of the past.
Good luck
