However, on Saturdays I enjoy having a £20 goals accumulator on various matches - I use the BF Sportsbook for this.
For me and the mrs it's a £1 lucky 15 on the Saturday scores. It's a blessed relief from agonising about 'value' all week. Same with the euro lottery. :)

For me it's Premium Bonds and a tenner per month on Omaze, lol

If you're a 20% PC payer and you win £250K on an exchange accumulator, it won't count for PC because it's more than half your lifetime profit. But it will be a double whammy when you reach the PC2 milestone. Suddenly your lifetime profit doubles and your generated commission halves. :lol:

Thought I'd see if I could get a tenner on a five fold on the sportsbook today.

I was limited to £0.00 a few years ago, and they still gave me free bets to use on the sportsbook!

I'm limited too on accas, I'm talking about the regular account, what's particularly annoying is if I put a player x in an acca, and the system kind of feels I am taking advantage of that player's price, no matter what other combos I choose I can only do one acca with that player, superannoying.

bet365 is so much better.

Is that the sportsbook, and is it the main dot com or a smaller local spinoff?

He hadn't used the account in like two years, was not cut for being sharp.

No need for the 'of course', I thought you said you couldn't accesses the main exchange.

What reason have they given for limitting you and the criteria for lifting it?

the of course is due to the fact that sportsbook and exchange are nothing alike graphic-wise, maybe they look similar on the app? (which I never used).

Betfair never gives out reasons for such things, they just cut you.

They do if you ask them. (not just you but...) anyone thinking making a living from this has to nuture some sort of relationship with their service provider. You would in any other line of business. If a builders' merchant cut your discount you'd ask them, not ask a stranger to guess why. Not always easy but compared to trading it's not hard.

There are a few people on here that asked and were just told, business reasons, with no further information.
