HOW TO AVOID BEING RESTRICTED BY BOOKMAKERS

[MCLARKE]

@bymatrix is running a very interesting thread looking at bookmakers offers and whether they offer good value. In particular BET365 and Sky provide many excellent offers such as price boosts and money back.

They are providing excellent profits for those that are lucky enough to take advantage of them.

And that is the issue for many of us, those bookmakers do not allow us these offers. This is known in the industry as "gubbing".

So the point of this thread is to list what actions we can take to avoid being "grubbed".

I suppose it depends on why you are no longer able to access the offers

Skybet appear to have been doing the best offers recently but presumably they're not very keen on customers who only use the account for the offers 

So I guess the thing to do would be to identify which firms offer the best offers and do your day-to-day regular bets with them so they see you as a 'loyal customer' ........ local offers for local people.

(Which is obviously the purpose of the offers - to foster customer loyalty)

Skybet are probably not quaking about my regular £1 bets but I only do the Cash Back offers, ie the Can't Lose ones ....... not the bet-builder types which is what they want to encourage people to get into the habit of doing.  I wonder if they might catch up with me on that basis ?
