Sure we get limited after we constantly bet on the best lines and probably not straight away but incrementally. We try to be selective, but sometimes we take some stupid line and get limited instantly.
This happened to me yesterday. I ruined a party account by taking a rather obscure line in the Celtic match during HT. I knew it was dangerous but did it anyway. Guess what happened ...Limited instantly. I think I heard the trader on the other side screaming 'Got you! '
Party was out arber hunting yesterday. Oh well.. ..

Re: Ways to ruin a good account
"My friend" placed a moderate size bet on women's netball. One of the teams was from her home town, so she thought she'd give it a shot.
No more than 2 minutes had passed after the bet was laid, when an email came in saying that account was now permanently closed, and please provide bank details to send remaining balance.
Lesson: No more bets on female sport. (Tennis excluded)

No more bets on netball is a more correct conclusion ...HeavyRigid wrote: "My friend" placed a moderate size bet on women's netball. One of the teams was from her home town, so she thought she'd give it a shot.

In my area, netball is by far the most popular women's (team) sport. I thought with a female ID, it would be a safe bet. I'm assuming any sport less popular than netball is also insta ban.
Side note: as we all know there is more than one side to an arb. The bookmaker on the other end of the arb is still going strong (also a soft book).
