Have you ever been "knocked back"

[Tabbythecat]

Just been watching ATR and a caller has just stated that he got "knocked back" as he wanted to back a horse to 100 euro's @ 14/1 and they allowed him to have half at the price they quoted the rest at SP So it leads me to a valid question has it ever happened to you, please dont mention the bookmakers concerned as not to upset the mods I dont mean on-line I refer to going into your LBO Ta

Re: Have you ever been "knocked back" Yes its happened to me a few times. I once wanted to back something that was 6/4. They let me put a certain amount on at that price and the rest on at 5/4. This could have been because the price was about to change anyway's, but I didn't ask. I have also tried to back something e/w and was not allowed to do so. They said I could back it to win but not e/w for the amount I wanted. I had a terrible experience in a bookie 2 years ago. I would go in pretty much every day and put my bets on for a few months. I must have lost quite a lot before I went on a little winning streak. I walked in the next day and the manager said that head office had been on the phone and they believed I was putting bets on for someone that had been banned from the shop and that she could no longer accept my bets. I was absolutely fuming, and ended up writing a letter to their head office.
