Anyone had any luck with the "Lucky Losers" option that sportsbet offer?

You have to pick a horse that WONT place in each race of the meet.

I tried it today at Geelong, and ousted in the second race when a $98 horse came second!!!

yeah I had one go, got thru to the last race but forgot to lay off and it ran a place

a bit of fun and interest for the day - bit like laying on BF

if you get to the last 2 races you can lock in a profit

BIT OF FUN... BUT THE ODDS THEY OFFER ARENT REAL FLASH..... WOULDNT PUNT BIG ON IT!!!!

I had one crack and I think the majority of them ran a place - problem with trying to chase a bit of value I suppose!!

Nice bit of fun/interest during a day at the pub

i wouldn't bet with the grubs on principle, soon as you start winning they bar ya! it's happened to me and a heap of people i know, so anyone that bets there and caN STILL get on must be a loser.............

i mite hava go where is the option?

Sportsbet mate - the sponsor..

what did I do wrong

Is this the same agency that won't let me bet fixed price on Moonee Valley Carlyn Stakes (A Group 2 race) or fixed on any gallop race for that matter.
And No betting home tote on any Trot or Dog meetings.

Boys if you are allowed to keep getting on you can't be winning!!!!!!!! Cos i didn't win that much and have virtually been barred!!!!!!!!! Should be Alongside Uni!!!!!!!!! Sorry No they shouldn't cos Uni keep letting you on!!!!!!

well I can say Im well ahead with them yet Im not barred, most bets get referred but within 20 sec are approved 95% of the time

Would it have anything to do with being a licensed trotting identity? I reckon that might be it

when is the next lucky losers meeting?

Not sure what you mean by that dutchy. Being licensed shouldn't make any difference cos your still allowed to bet. Have know trainers who are queried about a horses run to produce betting tickets as evidence to show support for a horse!!!!!!!! Not breaking any rules And i'm tipping they would have many licensed persons on their books!!!!!!

But your guess is as good as mine as to the real reason cos have send them 4 emails and made 2 ph calls and more than a month has gone by and had no reply too either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even rang the gentleman who rang me to bet with them and was told he would follow it up and get someone to call me. I"M STILL WAITING!!!!!!!!!!

Im just thinking that they might prefer not to take wagers from people inside the industry, I know its not illegal, just a thought thats all

Again Im happy to ask on your behalf via my contact there if you wish

I know of others who are un licensed who have been barred also.

Bottom line is as soon as you start winning on horses that shorten and win and they can't get off they cut you off. They put a price up take a bet. it happens at the racetrack.
Not saying their the only ones, Sp0rting Bet do simular.

Just sick of all the ads and crap of bet with us, biggest and best bookmaker, No.1 bookmaker.
All they want is mugs.
So the reason your throwing up is crap.
Just like to tell other side of the story, Even though i know you don't want it written cos they throw some sponsorship in.

nah all fair, always good to hear both sides of the story, I dont bet on the Horses with them so maybe thats the difference, who knows...as I said I was only guessing

At the end of the day they are still the best online SANFL bookie and thats a good fit for this site

why should it matter if centreman (& others) are licenced or not ? they have been cut off because of a high strike rate & perhaps his surname may have something to do with it as well, i haven't been cut off but my bets now seem to be 'waiting for approval' all or almost all of the time & just thinking as i type why would centreman (or anyone with a trotting licence) be barred from betting on the gallops with your reasoning dutchy ?, i think it is either centremans high strike rate or his surname which is discrimination in its ugliest form, completesports & even thornton always let you on

As Ive said 3 times now, it was just a wild guess, would take much to get a list of liscensed people in the racing industry and match it against account holders.

Ive offered to follow it up for him with no reply

Just like any business you can choose who you want to do business with, just like we can choose which bookie we want...its business

Ive just been barred from doing any promotions with an online casino cause I was abusing their bonuses for profits, I accept that and move on, they were losing money by me being a customer
