Hi Jack Dash,

I would like to look into the circumstances surrounding your account limits. Please PM me your account username for me to do so. Hopefully I can get back to you with good news.

Cheers

Hi Mariner,

I echo my apology to Ruffian about "mysteriously having no names to back his comment up".... it seems I have landed up with egg on my face! @Ruffian, apologies once again!

As I have previously mentioned to other members, I would like to re-look into the reason as to why your account limit was cut. Your scenario seems like a bit of a tough call. I would like to give you feedback, and hopefully come to a positive conclusion. Please e-mail at (andrew.harrison@sportingbet.com) so we can discus this further, if you like.

Cheers

Thanks for the posts Andrew

Hi harri,
Thanks for the apology. Will contact you next week to go through my account. Upon closer inspection you will see that any horses claimed were claimed by other online sites. Ironically, the majority of the money I won from you was for rugby in running, something I never normally do. Just happened to back South Africa when they drifted (they still drifted more after my bet)
Harri - Im a fairly shrewd player, especially with roughies. I normally back my horses at most sites and its fastest fingers first to the claim.
All I want is a fair shake - other sites that have limited me have put a 10k limit. That is, apart from Victor Chandler, who closed. ( no big suprise.)
Look forward to chatting.

@harrithehorse ....When one of my fantasy L15's arrive....plisa not to limit my account (tu)

Ok great Ruffian, chat during the week.

Cheers

@Magi - haha, I won't mate! ()

so what are your win place and double limits mr sportingbet ...give us a sales speech on here ....20k 50 100k what is it

@ Harri,

Credit where credit is due.Thank you for posting,at least I got a response this time.I don't think Shezi cut my limits,but he was your liason person on here @ the time and I never received any response from him when I questioned the limit cuts.Not getting a response is far worse than the limits being cut is the first place,it just goes to common decency.

I will mail you with my details and we can take it from there.

No problem at all.

Look forward to hearing from you. Break a leg at Splatsville.

I have had one bet with Sportingbet 33/1 to just over a gRand Castlethorpe to win the July this year.Next time i looked they had pushed him to 40/1 lol

Harry i have had multiple accounts in different names,addresses.email accounts and using different debit cards.i have one running now in someone elses name..You know its a game between punter and bookmaker.at the moment its one im enjoying,you are no different to any other bookmaker.there is one bookie that lets me do as i please only because i give them information the night before and they can put in a price shorter than the competition..I will keep the battle going and expect you to do likewise..adios
