Hollywood Limits

Hey guys, could somebody please explain the Hollywood limits with regards to multiples. I tried to take a double on a 50/1 shot and a 66/1 shot and it only allowed me to take the bet for R7. I think that this is an absolute disgrace. I could'nt even get a decent fixed place multiple on.
I can't understand how they keep advertising winners on soccer bets eg: 150 000/ 20 etc. Are they actually laying these kinds of bets?

kabz, i had the same problem a while ago and called them, they were able to give me the bet over the phone..

You beat me to it FC

Thanks FC.
Still I cant understand how they can impose such limits on multiples.
Straight bets, sure. It just doesnt make sense for multiples.
It should be a bookmakers dream for multiples to go through. They will then be able to do a round book on the last leg.

Hi Kabz

Hollywoodbet.net (website) operates live 24 hours a day and there have to be controls and limits in place for security reasons. If you would like to take a bet which has larger than normal odds, rather phone it through to the call centre 08600-46559. They will gladly assist you in maximising your stake and potential payout, but obviously subject to the liability on the horse at the time.

If you have any other queries please feel free to contact Hollywood on 079 399 3846 and one of the team will be on hand to help.

You can also drop me a mail at jasond@winningform.co.za

The Winning Bets that are advertised in the SP have mostly been taken at one of our 26 branches countrywide, so the punters are able to communicate directly with a clerk which is why I suggest using our call centre for your bigger bets.

Happy punting and thank you for using Hollywood.

Jason, this is not the first time that we have called a bet to Sgt.Peppers to be given a price , then when ask for the bet told can only have a portion or yesterday clerk told us he has to confirm with head office as horses have shortened already. Horses at time of request were 11/2 and 40/1 which equals the 9/1. When I asked for bet was told above. Horses started at 11/2 and 40/1...... nothing changed. Marshalls gave bet immediately with no stipulations. We like to support Hollywood as they support us but cant do when we get this response.

guys...these guys pretend to be rich.......
all bookmakers in RSA can be bought out by my ex wife....from her pocket money...
wake up..these are ex bookmaker clerks that all have fu#$%^&*()_ assets to back up their claims on the tickets they print ....
i can print R1,000,000 on any ticket......I can print R5,000,000 on any ticket....I can print R10,000,000 on any ticket...
these !@#$%^&*()_ dont have R200k to pay you.......
they each have R150k at GOBA (gambling board requirements) and about R86k from their weekly R200 contributions to GOBA.
their licenses are worth !@#$%^&*()_ because you can get from for free as long as you are BBBEE.
I know some !@#$%^&*()_ paid R800k for licenses...but remember they are ex bookmakers clerks that don't know any better.....
poor stupid !@#$%^&*()_.......shame...


the reality...GOBA backes R200k per bookmaker for punters only....
not R200k per ticket....but R200k per bookmaker......check the shit on prinsloo..not resolved yet...

their debtors books.....punters not paying...like me (according to YELLOW SACK) and...which they not allowed to have....are worth !@#$%^&*()/.....but racketeering 15 years in jail.....
so...stop living in the dream world...how rich do you think ex bookmakers clerks van get....1000's
millions...billions....they can't count that far....
