It's the format of the book that lets it down. This book has been self-published and it shows. The author is perfectly entitled to self-publish his work and the content is interesting and informative. However, due to the book's format probably a result of the software used the contents comprise a very, very long list and few if any paragraphs.
This makes it difficult to read.

The author knows his stuff and deserves to have his material presented in a style that is more reader-friendly. This book has some good tips, It also is very easy to understand How to use the system. The book does drag on a bit and a lot of information is repeated and is a bit blah blah at times.

But overall I would recommend as there are some gems hidden in the book. Unlimited One-Day Delivery and more. The email from BetVictor read: My experiences are not unique. The news that bookmakers refuse to accept wagers from winning clients was met with incredulity by my non-gambling friends.

In fact, refusing to strike a bet at their advertised odds may break the spirit of the regulations, but it does not break any law. Bookmaking can be traced back to the late 18th century in the UK.
However, the punter-versus-bookmaker battle has been raging in earnest ever since the Gaming Act was passed in In the past two decades, however, the industry has changed significantly with new technology resulting in the spread of internet gambling and this, in turn, has made it easier for firms to identify winning punters than in the days when bets were mainly placed anonymously in smoke-filled betting shops. Like all businesses, bookmakers need to make a profit and no one denies them this right.
But today, they make the rules, set the odds hugely in their favour and, with all these advantages and having already made healthy profits, they then increasingly refuse to take a bet. Is it any wonder that so many punters feel they are getting a raw deal? Barney Curley , now 75, is a legendary punter and former trainer, who has masterminded several seven-figure betting coups over the past 40 years.
By placing a succession of small bets at advertised odds, Curley can, for a time at least, avoid suspicion that someone is planning a raid on the bookies. By the time firms wake up to the fact that they are facing huge payouts on one or more horses, they have to honour the bets already struck. There is no one who will upset the applecart and say: Curley no longer has any bookmakers willing to lay him bets with accounts in his own name. I retired from training because it was so hard getting any money on my horses.

In fact, bookmakers have rarely been under such scrutiny as they are now, after a series of complaints that they are ripping off punters in other ways, too. Allegations were made publicly that off-course bookmakers were manipulating the system to the detriment of punters, though these were denied. It was announced in June that there would be a public consultation on whether the present system of producing a starting price — the odds at which most bets are settled by bookmakers — should be changed.
There is a difference between being risk-averse and being responsible for misleading advertising. Sportingbet declined to respond to any questions. However, most bookmakers will acknowledge, either privately or publicly, that the activities of winning punters are curtailed, although they stress that the desired bets of most punters are accommodated. Craig Reid, head of trading for Betfred bookmakers, said: We will try to offer them some sort of bet, but they will get restricted.
Ibas said its primary role was to adjudicate on bets that have been struck. I should point out that not all my bookmakers have turned away my bets. Ladbrokes and bet have invariably been willing to lay me a fair-size wager, but they are in the minority.
