Classic victorchandler business, but I wouldn't say they are a joke. They are a bookmaker for squares that's all. Bet 10 teams parlays every weekend and you will be their ideal customer.

Maniac · 11-14-11 12:52 PM

Chandlers have been known to be slow to react to business, especially on colleges sports where they are very slow to react to line moves - you keep beating them on these moves and your limits will get cut, not just at chandlers but at a lot of other firms too...

Euro books are like this except a few

Try some Asian books

which Asian books do you recommend ?

jjgold · 11-15-11 10:53 AM

188bet
12bet
Sbobet

If he bets on US sports Pinnacle is better.

For soccer asian books are indeed the best choice and between them SBOBET is clearly the best option (12Bet and 188Bet limit winners). IBCBET is great too but without invitation one must use an agent to play there.

Scooter · 11-15-11 07:31 PM

VC doesn't like the RAS steam, like most books.

11-15-11 09:47 PM

Have accounts at pinny and asian books. But they're competent at moving their lines unlike vc and some other euro books. Just makes me laugh that instead of doing something about their bad/stale lines they just kick out their customers.

pwm · 11-15-11 11:58 PM

They CLOSED my account. But only after turning over about $100k with them and bleeding em dry. Very inconsistent.

But, if you hit up the wrong trader with steam, and he holds a grudge, you're gone.

IrishStoner · 11-16-11 12:30 AM

Thats so fuc-ked up, damn crooks.

psreed · 11-24-11 07:53 AM

Agreed, absolute joke. Closed me down in a matter of weeks and I only won $150 overall. Complete waste of time.

they manage the punters rather than the lines. but i guess they are making money using that "business model"

People get their accounts closed there after winning a couple of hundreds. Is that "k" a mistake? Is that possible at VC?

Berrern · 11-25-11 05:39 AM

I thought I'd chip in with my VC experience as well...

On the 31st of October, I opened a new account with VC, I deposited €25 and placed one bet for the same amount (at the time they'd give you a free bet of up to 25€).

The match I bet on was sceduled to start at 06:00 on the 3rd of November - but already on the 2nd of November I received the dreaded mail:

We are contacting you today to advise that a business decision has been taken by our Senior Traders and I must inform you that betting Account Number 3978506 has now been closed and no further business may be executed on your behalf.

I tried arguing with them, back and forth, but they refused to give any explanation - just citing the fact that they have the right to ban any account without giving a reason.

At least, after the bet was settled (it won!), they wrote to me, asking for my bank details - and transferred my 55€ win to my bank account.

Still, very frustrating being shut down without any explanation - and not receiving my free bet...

I'm struggling to understand how this bookie got a 'B' grade here on SBR?!

psreed · 11-25-11 05:44 AM

I was limited to small bets within one week and then within a couple more weeks they wrote to me and said we've closed your account. Apologies, I might have misled when I said I won around $150 which is the figure I thought was correct. I just checked my old records and I won the grand sum of $11.58 (yes, eleven dollars and 58 cents), not $150. Absolutley pathetic and a complete and utter waste of time.

Can I ask what sport, or type of bet, you placed here?

As I asked with the other guy, what sports and types of bets did you use here?

Thanks for any response, PM is fine...

By all means; I bet on a Japanese J-League football game; G. Osaka - Kashima.
I put 25€ on Under 2.5 goals, with odds of 2,20.

Santo · 11-27-11 07:12 AM

Was it an arb / scalpable bet? I.E. Were they the best market price?

I played here for years and probably won and lost thousands....then got banned out of the blue this summer.

No, just a normal outright bet.
Didn't check other market prices for this bet - I simply placed it in order to receive the 25€ free bet ..

Bartys · 11-30-11 02:12 AM

Have similar problem - they cancelled my account... :-(

McFly86 · 11-30-11 03:58 AM

Hint: don't bet J-league soccer totals.

VC are pretty juicy in certain sports, I managed to last a couple of weeks by mixing it up before getting banned.

Definitely possible.

I milked them and was hanging out for a ban... All other UK books had long limited me. These guys took forever.

Turnover was six figures.

skrtelfan · 12-02-11 04:11 PM

They're a typical Euro book that books anyone with any hint of a clue.

Dunderfisk · 03-31-12 04:20 PM

They closed my account after about 36 hours. Yes I was a customer for 36 hours!!!!!

I placed three bets on NBA and one bet on a sure-win and I lost it all on BetVictor.

I lost about 1800 dollars there.

And one week ago Ladjokes limited my bets to 0.

such clowns.
