Large bets triggering a review

[LongBombFromOutside50]

So my betting stakes are fairly big (for AFL for example I will try to bet anywhere from $2k - $5k for exotic markets like AGS, player disposals. And $5k - $10k on match results). Sometimes I'll go $10k+ on results in other sports.

What tends to happen with many bookies is that the large bet size will trigger a review, and following a review of the bet they will only accept $200 - $500, and then immediately drop the odds.

For example, TAB, NEDs/Lads will always review my exotic market bets and only accept $200 - $500. Then they'll only accept ~$3k for match results. Bet365 also sometimes review, but they're a bit more generous as they usually accept ~$2k for exotic markets. Pointsbet have limited me to around ~$50 per bet now. I haven't had a bet reviewed by Topsport yet.

Does anyone know if there is a way around placing a large bet without triggering a review from the bookie? Also which bookies other than Topsport don't review large bets?

Only way for this is if you are throwing the bookies $$ with your bets over time. Otherwise even if you are a breakeven punter they will review bets of that size. There is not much way around it unless you spread the bets across different accounts. Nature of the beast.

Yeah good point. Definitely need to open up another account with each bookie. I wonder if they would cancel your account if they catch you doing this though?

 

[FallingLiefs]

Topsport do review? They can be the slowest for mine.

You cannot avoid this though unless you are reducing stakes and losing consistently.

With Bet365, they have a track record of winning punters and losing punters. They are very happy to accept losing long-term punters .

Pretty sure , if your stakes get reduced, your unlikely to ever have that amount increased.

you can't have more than 1 account at a bookie in your name, but you might have a few family members or friends that could put the same bet on. Probably the best bet for your case to get large bets down.

 

[Del125763]

I personally know of people that worked at bet365.

All the bets that are placed that come in and are monitored but speaking more from an in-play perspective, there would be a size limit amount for every customer. (eg they have bets from India, China, Australia, Canada, Europe etc) They have a staking limit/staking system in place. (bets that are unusual do get put forward to the review team like you said) Losing customers is what keep bet365 in business and pays for their staff, their office leases, admin, bet365 uniforms, computers etc. The environment whilst a leading competitor in terms of wagering, they push their staff to the limits...............more than any other places, if you cant trade properly or set things up correctly, you wont last long.

Its a business at the end of the day whether you like it or not. I guess from my perspective im not quite in the league of getting banned from bookies just yet(2 have banned me) but thats why exchanges are good . You can request an amount and if someone has a differing opinion ...you can get matched for the full amount.

 

[Del125763]

From what I know with bet365 anyway, on a basketball match , on the very same game, one customer might be unlimited for a 5k payout, and another customer might be capped to a $10 win.

Its how the cookie crumbles at bet365.

I'm pretty sure the bookies screening process is sophisticated enough to pick up if two accounts are dropping big amounts on the same bets consistently. Particularly if they share an IP, last name or address. Would be kind of pointless anyway because if they're shortening the odds after the first big bet then what's the use in having the second account?

I'd just look to spread money around different bookmakers as much as you can and just accept that you are not going to be able to get set for thousands of dollars on niche prop bet markets unless you are seen as a losing punter

Can also drive around multiple TAB venues drip feeding money into EBT machines

The tech the big corps have really does catch everything. If there are 2 or more accounts with the same name, address, phone number, device, IP or any details like that they know about it.

You will always struggle to get big bets down on more exotic markets. They are low liquidity and mostly just extra product for the genuine losing punters.

Betting $5k will bring attention at any book in the country on any market though. Sportsbet are far and away the biggest book and even with them 99.99% of their customers will never even place a $1k bet. Topsport will be your best place, especially if it’s H2H and on game day.

Would love to see you getting 5-10k down on an exotic disposal market on Betfair

I know for a fact that SB don't have a trigger for the same address or IP address.
What will catch you out is if you are putting the exact same bets on at similar times, even worse on the same device.

Of course they do. Matching IPs or addresses is the easiest thing to pick up. They might not cancel the account immediately but they definitely know the accounts are linked

No. Some bookies yes, but SB 100% don't. 'a friend' of mine has a personal account rendered useless and is able to consistently place bets on the same address, just using a different device.

What has happened to your individual accounts isn't the status quo for their whole set up. There is no question the biggest bookmaker in the country is screening two of the easiest things to check and mark accounts for

I don't know what else to say. I know this to be true. Im only saying it to benefit others. There is nothing for me to gain making lies. I can't spell everything out if you want to PM me about it feel free, otherwise we will agree to disagree.

 

[Hamingja]

I'm surprised any bookie is accepting more than a couple of hundred on any exotic market.

They should have minimums on h2hs and lines like the racing but limiting exotics is fair enough IMO, so easy to manipulate.

I'm not saying you are lying mate I'm just saying just because your personal account didn't get banned doesn't mean they dont have auto checks for both of those things. I know plenty of individual cases where the bans and limits have rolled over to different accounts on the same address. They have checks for address and IP for promo betting alone

 

[99 Problems]

Sportsbet 100% have access to reports matching address, phone number, devices and IP’s. That doesn’t mean it’s an auto-ban, but they have the information and will use it when needed. Many racing bodies list these things matching as reasons for operators to not have to bet accounts to MBL limits, of course the Corps have the info.

A month or so ago I tried to get $5000 on independant candidate Dr Monique Ryan upsetting Josh Frydenburg and winning the seat of Kooyong in the upcoming election at odds of $4.60. They put me on hold and referred it to the trading desk for several minutes before coming back and accepting a grand total of $70, and then then winding the odds into $2.60. They let me know I'd be able to wager more money closer to the election, which doesn't help me at all as $2.60 doesn't represent real value.

For niche markets like this if it's a good size bet their default position is that someone has inside info they don't, so they'll basically give you very little.

It's also likely they have now tagged your account for any political betting
