1st Gubbings

  • I’m really shocked! I’m new to MB but I’ve gambled on horse racing for 20 yrs and never been gubbed from anywhere.
    One of the new accts to do this (boylesports) have banned me and I haven’t even had the courtesy of an email. Went to put a tenner on the crossbar challenge and it was refused. An irate half hour live chat revealed nothing other than I’ve got the bum’s rush out the door. I’ve had precisely ten bets with them, half mugs, half the opening free bets plus the last crossbar thing.
    Common sense is saying move on and forget it but I want to complain! I want to shout at someone! How can they do this and no explanation! Has anyone whinged to customer services or the gambling commission or anything?

    All been there. Nothing you can do as they are entirely within their rights. It’s just a business decision for them. No other business would hold on to clients/customers that are costing them money.

    But yes I was just as fuming when I lost my first account but now i get a sense of pride that I defeated another one. And knowing there is always another bookie or another scheme around the corner. They are merit badges.

    Well , yeah, but, – sheesh!! It was only a £10 bet – not even the full £25…I’m hardly costing them millions! How would they know I’m going to cost them money after 10 bets?

    And come to that, I’ve been winning the bet365 4/1 feature races where the winners are double odds and they haven’t said a thing…

    oh hells teeth…they’re going to be next aren’t they…..

    ok well….think I’ll sulk for another half hour or so then let it go 🙂

    My first was 888sport. My second was betway and the same day I was kicked they were boasting about a record casino payout, some military man won millions and got splashed all over their blog. They went over and gave him a hand shake, took his picture the whole works, probably got a free lunch out of it too. Meanwhile here I am after taking a couple of hundred over three months and I’m ostracised…..

    I went full crazy when bet365 gubbed me. Accused them of racism and anything I could. Called them out for holding my name on some black list which identified me personally as something of a cheat or crook or gambling addict or who knows what. Just always bugged me how they never would give a reason just traders decision and that’s it. Eventually they told me that it was just because I was too good….

    Ha! Yeah – way to go I guess.

    Still woulda liked to know though.

    Just done a total up and I won £135 over the month and lost £30. Hardly mega millions is it. I think maybe I didn’t spend enough with them but they didn’t give me much chance. I could have been waiting for payday or something. They didn’t catch me trading /arbing or using software I do know, so its got to be the amounts.

    Oh well. Hope the crossbar challenge lands every week and costs them loads!
