accounts under review

so i’ve been matched betting since Oct 2016 and along the way have lost a fair few accounts, recently I have been getting more into it and have been making decent money, April profits for me so far are at £400 (for me this is a big month, the only one i had more was cheltenham month) the issue i’m finding is the more you make the more chance you have of getting your accounts closed, i lost paddy yesterday and my william hills has been “under review” for weeks. I sometimes can’t put bets on high odds horses if it is a long time before the race (day before etc) occasionally my bets get referred to a trader (so far haven’t had one rejected) and i can’t bet on pricewise tips, they always give me alternative worse odds. I still get free bets and bonuses etc and on race days don’t appear to have any issues getting bets on. What can i do to reverse the declining health of the this account and prevent being gubbed, i currently:

1. only ever bet the same stake across all horse races – £25, and that’s for races with bonuses (2 clear, 5 high etc) or just normal races, i mug bet quite a lot, today i have bets on 9 horse races, 6 are 2 clear, 3 are mug bets and later on i’ll try and get a few more mug bets on, especially if i win a race to try and lose the money to the exchange.

2. i quite often put a £1 accumulator on either nhl or football for 4/5 teams

what else can i do?

New to matched betting?

My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

I’ve been matched betting a similar time to you, Nov 16 but I have only lost one account so far. My advice would be to place bets nearer to the start of the event rather than the night before if possible. I don’t know how I’ve still got my Sky Bet account tbh, it seems whichever horse I back with them comes in.

You’ll lose the accounts regardless, death comes to us all. But I don’t mug at all anymore – I personally think it’s about how much you win, and withdraws.

I personally try and keep my account from being looked at, i don’t go on chat, i keep free bets under 10s, being referred to a trader is something you don’t want imo. I lost one account an hour after being referred on Wills. Keep away from betting on markets the day before, as you say horses – They won’t have taken much money so there’s the risk of being referred. I have the odd flutter on casino / vegas to swamp out my history lol.

Everyone has their theories, but ultimately no one knows.

I would leave it alone for a while.

My original William Hill account (I have two others) was gubbed and heavily restricted to pennies around this time last year. After leaving it and returning to it for ew arbing in November last year I found that I could get whatever I wanted on. Sometimes if the horse has long odds in a bad ew race, it will be sent to a trader for review but rarely have I had any bets rejected and I am talking about £100 ew on odds of 20/1 or higher.

Exactly the same happened to my Paddy account. Restrictions appear to be eased over time but not at every bookie. Ladbrokes, Coral and Boyles for example seem to have me permanently restricted.

Always bet on the 13th of the month at midnight while sitting in a circle of salt and chanting gubmenot gubmenot gubmenot

Just as likely to work as any theories about mug betting certain amounts at certain times or withdrawing or not withdrawing. Haven’t found any logic or pattern to the accounts I’ve lost, while the couple I’ve had a long string of winning free bets on are going strong.
