Bookmakers or cowards?

[Kithanga]

Just had to comment on being knocked back for a £20 win bet on Splendorinthegrass in today's Victoria Cup and offered £5 to win. I just ended up putting in on with another bookie but it did make me wonder whether some of them really are interested at all in accepting bets. I never thought I'd be knocked back for such a small bet on a horse that's drifting in that type of race. After all it's a fiercly competitive 29 runner handicap not a selling handicap chase at Plumpton. It's pathetic and does nothing to attract people to the sport. K

Re: Bookmakers or cowards? If its any consolation, at least it proves you are winning, profitable punter and are thus considered a risk to their profitability. :ok To those with restricted accounts, how much do you have to take them to the cleaners for before they close your account or limit it? If you do them over in one big hit do they close you or is it repeated winners over several months?
