    Horse Race Betting

    Anyone on here do much horse race betting?

    I've been following this tipster for a few years now, on and off https://simonstips.com/

    The biggest problem I have is getting the bookies to take the money. At one stage Ladbrokes wouldn't let me stake more than 93p on a horse. Paddy Power closed me down and refunded all the money left in the account.

    I was trying to get to £100 per horse and quit contracting (increasing the stake based on the winnings), but at around £40 per horse all the online bookies limited me so much it became hugely time-consuming.

    That's because you would have been one of the few who were taking more out than putting in.

    You could try the shops themselves but they will have rules on how much they can take on a bet depending on how much they know about you.

          As I'm sure you know professional gamblers aren't welcome.

            My estranged side the family love to bet. My late uncle sold a profitable business for millions and spent his retirement on betting on anything that moved. I can't say its done them very well.

            at the end of the day its probably no worse than a novice buying shares but I cannot believe any bookmaker will have you if you are not a profit to them.

                Betfair and fill your boots ?

                Most pro gambles work with hundreds of online wallets and accounts

                  I'm using Betfair now. On the Exchange the odds aren't as good though, but there's an almost limitless number of people willing to lose their cash

                  I did consider having multiple accounts with each bookie but that came back to the 'so time-consuming to manage I'd be better off working' problem.
                  Maybe I should learn to script and automate it.

                    If that's true I'm selling my shares.
