[AusRace] "We'll Bet You"

Fri Jan 5 13:41:28 AEDT 2018

Today BetZero and Sportsbet contravened the Qld MBL which came into effect
on 1Jan, by refusing bets on Sunshine Coast.

Sportsbet claimed "a glitch"; sure, the "glitch" is, just as they did with
Tasmania, they don't adjust your settings unless you complain - I did, they
adjusted.

I'm yet to get a reply from BetZero, so tomorrow will fill out the Qld
Racing complaint form.

Here's my letter to BetZero:

At 9:58am you refused the following bet:

cid:image002.jpg at 01D3860D.433D3D20

Bet Max was $0.00, viz you refused to take the bet for any amount.

The race was scheduled for 16:05 AEST, and the first race of the meeting for
15:27 AEST.

MBL has been in place since 1/1/2018, and the relevant section is:

Minimum Bet Limits apply:

.        to Queensland Thoroughbred races only;

.        to fixed odds bets (i.e. win, place and each way bets);

.        from 9am (AEST) on the day of the Thoroughbred race, for a race
meeting commencing prior to 5:30pm; and

.        from 2pm (AEST) on the day of the Thoroughbred race, for a race
meeting commencing after 5:30pm.

It is disappointing, but not surprising, that you fail to meet your legal
obligations, again. 

They're all pretty pathetic Len with a few exceptions.
You're probably getting limited because you're on the list of winning
punters they share.
I know you hate laying, but to continue without just about everybody closing
you down completely (or effectively) eventually, you have to lay off any
winnings on the exchange at BFSP. You have to look on paper like a mug not a
winner. Then you'll get offers galore and they'll take you on for mostly the
full amount. It's really the only way around it, especially with Luxbet
closed down and no access to UK based bookies.
What makes me laugh is Racing.com where, they quote thousands of dollars
being invested by in their own words "some very savvy punters".
You think those very savvy punters were able to get on for those amounts,
it's all smoke and mirrors!

Looks like the new kid on the Dynamic Odds block is issuing a challenge to
them -

I opened an account for $1,000 with SportsBetting a few days ago, have had 4
$100 or less bets, and today asked for $100 @ 3.50 place Inv 7/11. Accepted
$36.72. Pathetic enough, but immediately turned down to 2.70 (Win price
untouched, so it's not like they had a flood of bets, most likely just my
bet to lose $91.80).

I think you should write "bookmaker", to distinguish these feeble critters
from on-course bookmakers, the weakest of whom has x times the guts and y
times the ability that they do.

CentreBet and ClassicBet are the worst Len.
You'd think they'd want to even their books a little because most of the
action takes place on the favourite or firmers in the market.
But that's never the case, their little servers and databases refer your bet
to a bookmaker who rejects simply on liability, probably because you're a
winning punter, but not necessarily so.

Yes, sure you will CentreBet.
I asked for $100 Randwick 1/5 @ 126.00, knocked back to $16, which is their
right.
CentreBet treated me with well-deserved distain and lengthened it to 151.00,
obviously wanting to hold more money than my $16, so I asked for $100 at
151.00. Rejected in full, which is again their right, but why drift it if
they won't take even 50c at that price?
"Pathetic" does not do them justice.
