I am not a longterm winning customer with them, but am elsewhere.
I covered them on Betfair, and came out winning anyway, laying

Unhappy

Ooooh Ladbrokens you big brave bookies you. I wanted $100 on the moto GP, they let me have.........wait for it..........$6. Yep, $6 on a $9 chance.
Needless to say the rest has gone to the 12yo nephew. He'll be huge one day.

I can think of a few possibilities, most likely that your account isn't a losing account, rather an unknown account with respect to fixed odds.

The bigger anomaly in my mind is why you aren't winning (or betting) on TAB fixed odds.

William Hill owned bookies now putting a note on each race:

Note: Prices are indicative only until login and may change before the bet is accepted



If I were in charge of writing that note, I'd word it quite differently.

I use Betfair primarily, and have done some fixed odds arbs, ergo, I'm, losing with Fixed Odds but winning with Betfair.
P.S. I arb differently to most.

That's amazing, sounds like the holy grail of arbing. Good to know that TAB haven't limited you just for profiling like an arber (high number of bets). Years ago a corporate shut me down after losing 8k, just because I was doing a few hundred bets a day.


RP, that image is illegible. Did TAB come out on top?
