Spot on Mr L.
Can't see why this has not been legislated for.

Sorry not true.

I've been seen around the tracks some years back helping out a bag man and when a certain man of the cloth initials "J" approached, the instruction was " No more than "$20!!"
It is not illegal to refuse service in your shop for any reason whatever, same in racing.
If you are talking morality, now that is a different matter altogether.

As I said earlier, if they are prepared to take your money when you are losing they ought to take it when you are winning.

But when did moral values ever come in the way of greed?

Woops that should be $5,000 or 5 grand for rails bookies
$3,000 or 3 grand for off the rails bookies.

Not $5,000 grand as i reported earlier.

Cheers.

So Gary where do we stand?
Are you saying that it's unlawful to restrict or refuse punters?
To whom are we to complain?

Gary I speak of less the 15 years ago and I suppose you know or at least heard of the person I was referring to and he had no objections to being restricted on course!

ive never had any probs with them

Sportsbet is owned by Irish gaming giant Paddy Power, which bought a 51 per cent stake in the company for $49 million in May 2009 . Then in September 21 2009 Sportbets bought IAS.

Unfortunately this rule only applies to on course bookmakers.


You are correct in your previous post regarding the refusal of services,
Such as corporates do unfortunately they are a law unto themselves.

When i was banned for a second time i went to my lawyer it was a while.
Ago now but from what i remember when you sign up there is a clause that,
States at any time they can refuse to accept a bet from you at their discretion and cancel your account.

It went something like that, my reason given to me was they only accept bets,
From recreational punters which they deemed i obviously was not.

My lawyer told me once i agreed to the terms i didn't have a leg to stand on.
I am currently with T-M W----HOUSE the only thing that happened eventually was that i was barred from placing bets via the internet.

But i could continue betting using the phone service.

I am fast running out of options if they close me down,
And betfair is not an option after several bad experiences.
I will have to go to the tote.

Cheers.

I'm back early from our trip to Europe as my wife broke her leg in the lobby of a leading French Hotel.

Any way I sent an email to sportsbet. I told them that I bet when the odds are in my favour basicly betting on the overlays and said that they won't close my account, that would be up to me weather I close it.

Started with $200 and the balance is now $391 since march this year

food for thought.

Hope the wife is mending well Benny
