all local shops have limited me to £50 at SP and as for getting a bet on over the phone or online i can forget about it. i want to back a dog later and i cant even take a price! what is this country coming to ?
 
how come?

Because they only like taking mug punters money who bet at every possible opportunity. I can still get on, on betfair as its a exchange but in greyhound markets theres not enough liquidity for me to have what i want on. Having to run round 4 bookies tonight just to get on and then i still have to take SP. They take so much from people who sit in there on roulette all day or sit backing horses they know nothing about but asoon as its time to pay out properly they do not like it.
 
Hmm, it sounds more like they think you've got a gambling problem and have limited you for your own good.

This. If you are running all over the place to put on bets I think you might need to have a wee word with yourself.

How odd. You talk like you are some sort of seasoned, experienced pro gambler yet in reality you've only been able to bet just over a year!

If I was a bookie and some 19 year old came in saying 'Need to get a price, wanna back a dog on!!! got the liquidity' I'd limit him to 50 quid as well.

if he has lived around betting for a long time then there is every reason to accept he knows about betting.
No different from people who have only been driving a few years knowing lots about cars, because they have lived around them for a long time etc.

in that scenario i'd let him bet what he wants (within normal shop limits).
 
He had a couple of lucky bets and they have limited him just in case he has the inside track.

He doesn't clean up taking high street prices.

We don't have to accept your business, if you are backing hot dogs which I imagine you are then accept what is coming to you.

hot dogs would mean low odds though, so the potential for big losses must be low?
