Ladbrokes Limits Players Bets to 1 Euro Max
If you win, you're limits often get cut, especially at the European online sportsbooks. Just ask one poor customer of Ladbrokes. He claims they limited him to a lousy 1 euro max.
Writing on the SBR Forum the individual illustrated his situation:
"Ladbrokes is a joke! I wager with them for about couple of years my average bet size is around 40 Euro per bet. And i am not a steam chaser. My bets used to be 33E and 66E per game sometimes as high as 99E all singles."
Now he claims they have imposed 1 euro limits on his action.
"UK Books tend to solve their problem by calling punters "sharps" cheats and arbers.Instead of admitting they are bunch of dumb asses that can't set the line /odds right."
Ladbrokes isn't alone in its decision to drastically limit players they consider to be "sharps".
Another poster chimed in with his own person experience dealing with the European sports betting establishments:
"So far four bookies have limited me. 1. Betsafe (I can bet 1 to 4 dollars) 2. Interwetten (limits fast so people cant fulfil their rollover requirements = crook book. Last bet I wanted to do was 3 dollars, but I could only bet 1.5 dollars!!) 3. Sportingbet (About 90 dollars is max now) 4. Ladjokes (I can bet about 7 dollars maximum now. If the odds are 1.4 or lower I can bet 15 dollars!!!!)."
