What's the shorest time you have played at a book then been kicked out.

Signed up to First Fidelity 3 weeks ago. Lovely software, good customer service and seems solid setup. Been wagering with them for first 2 weeks fine, usually betting between 5 and 10 dimes on the baseball, not once hitting their limit of 15,000 which they advertise on their website.

Then the past week, they started not really taking my action on the phone, saying 5 dime limit, and last night they said I have to phone up customer services to have my limits increased back to what they were.

I phone up today and was amazed that instead of increasing my limits back to the original or advertised ones, they are now reducing them even more.

That's the end of my account with them, another toothless, dual lines different rules for different customers book.

Ain't that the truth. They were the ones that decided to get into the business. Why don't they take a persons action if they want to be a BOOKKMAKER?

Some of these books would better serve the gambling world by only offering 5 cent slots, quarter keno cards, and Sunday bingo for only recreational players.

Instead they advertise themselves to be shops looking for big action, then run scared when the phone rings.

:howdy:

I can only dream of having my limits cut or asked to leave a book. It must piss you off though, I guess I am being selfish here but I wish you would share your picks!

I still think i hold the record....made 1 LOSING wager at Carib and they booted me! i called them and asked y and they said and i quote "you tell us why"....huh???? and believe it or not it took a call from some bigshot at Neteller to get them to give me the rest of my deposit back...

According to the Neteller guy i had (unknowingly) bet a game that BW had moved a lot of money on and they thought i was part of the circle. shows my luck, i bet a game the bigboys like and it loses:sad3:

Stanley - A Uk book closed me down after one bet - yes ONE bet.

Mind you it was a horse that i backed at their 20/1 morning odds - it won at 13/2.

Amazing stories.....

That's why I don't trust any of these offshore books. They can be good one day and the next close the doors. I've heard the term here, stick with the good books and you can't go wrong. That's BS, the doors have keys and the keys may not work on a Monday morning.

William Hill closed me down before I could even have a bet. Deposited, went to check the odds on a game and found the price had moved. Didn't have a bet. Logged on next day, tried to have a bet and found my maximum bet on every option was £0.

Which is amazing.....When I joined BCN, I won something like my first 12 bets....not a word from them, but i assume because it was a smaller deposit than 5-10 dimes?

First Fidelity caters to the losers only crowd. If anybody is playing there, please WD your money and lose it at a reputable sportsbook. Thank you.

billnevin - probably they figured you were from the industry. Funny that Uk books believe that people in the industry are more clued up - not necessarily true IMO - met plenty of losers in the industry along the way.
