yeah because Black Type is the 1st book who ever thought about making not limiting players a business model.. tell me, how long have you been betting again?luctens wrote: The soft bookmakers all restrict customers based on flawed logic that these idiots believe and have copied each other into submission by them thinking that it is a profitable move. If one of them changes or sees enough proof in Black Type Bet doing well, then one of the other bookmakers will probably change their policies and the rest will most likely follow, as that's what the betting industry is best at, copying each other.
there you go again with your crazy assumptions. you take 2 random books, and their difference surely must be down to their agressive limiting, yeah right. Paddy Power (very restrictive) bought Betfair (posterchild of a business model for sharps), how does that fit into your logic? William Hill is worth 4 billion, Unibet is worth several billion, Betsson is worth several billion. Now there's a nice example of a company that started out as a betting exchange, didn't make enough money, opened a sportsbook, started limiting very very hard, and made so much money doing this over the last couple of years they bought one book after the other (who themselves were all less restricting before being bought, and apparently didn't make enough money doing this to stay independent) and created a business model to be utterly worthless to anyone that bets with a brain. The BWin-franchise, Ladbrokes, all very restrictive and all worth billions. You see the pattern? And Stan James is the best example you can think off? really?luctens wrote: I would say that Bet365's less aggressive restriction policies compared to Stan James are a significant factor on why they have done so much better than bookmakers like Stan James.
Just convince a soft book this is a good idea with your weird logic and false assumptions (good luck with that), and please, please, let me be the beta-tester. That little experiment won't last a month.luctens wrote: Again your peddling this crap that if a bookmaker in it's current form was made to bet everybody to lay to lose £500-£1000 that they would go out of business as a result. Just think about what you are saying there, it's simply a load of complete and utter crap.
