I'm in the States bro so I'm unsure of what's going on with that, but I'd like to say welcome to SBR forum.

I'm sure someone will be here to help you soon.

I got a confirmation from WillHill.
"Unfortunately our Trading Department have taken a decision to restrict your business on all sports and that is why you have been receiving lower stakes and are unable to place any bets.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
I will be missing WillHill, it has so nice odds on tennis sometimes...
Unfortunately virtually everything I bet won in WillHill... 80% winning rate on odds ~1.85.
Bet365 was extremely quick to get rid of me. Then VCBet, Sportingbet, Gamebookers, Interwetten.
Now I won 13 out of 15 in Bluesq and feel I'll be kicked away soon - what a bad luck

Something tells me that's not the case.

I'd rather win and get the boot, then continually lose and be embraced with open warms.

The point is WillHill, BlueSq are the not only bookmakers I use. Some of them accept bets from professional bettor, like Pinnacle, Betfair, Expekt(inspects every my bet, changes the line after my bet, quite often refuses to accept the bet, but keeps me in the business). But, strangely, all my wins falls into accounts of bookies which sort professionals out, while on the others I just can see slight increase...
So I would prefer to lose in WillHill, BlueSq and similar bookies, but win in Pinnacle. Because WillHill gives sometimes very valuable offers you cannot find somewhere else.

Wear your toss-out proudly like a badge of honor.

Square books that toss you simply don't have the skill at linesmaking that the "pro-friendly" books have. Ergo, you can beat them and they toss you.

I'm sorry they showed you the door, but, could you please share your winning picks with the board?

Thanks!

If I start to make my picks public, soon my approach become obvious and many bettors start to use it. The bookies will react and close these "holes" and I my bets become not so profitable anymore. That's the reason you will not find the picks from a successful professional in a public place.
For example, can you imagine that in the not so remote past a line of correct set score in tennis between equal players looked like
2-0 3.5
2-1 3.5
0-2 3.5
1-2 3.5
And this was a hole you could use to gain some profit. But then one guy made the idea public, and now the line is
2-0 3.1
2-1 3.9
0-2 3.1
1-2 3.9

Euro books are know to slash limits dramatically if you beat them. I would recommend staying away from Euro books alltogether. Stick with books like Pinnacle, the Greek and Betjam and I don't think you will have these issues.

He's not saying that the eurobooks are all better odds than pinnacle, he's saying that he can win all he wants at pinnacle and not get the boot but when he wins at the euro books they boot him and occasionally they do have better odds than pinnacle.

I've had a few books gradually lower my limits, but if I recall correctly Will Hill just slammed the door entirely when they put my max at $0.00.....No adjustment period; no degrading maximum. One day I could bet thousands, the next day I couldn't get in the building.....
