Hi Jimbo,
You never know what bookmakers are using to close accounts, whether or not they share information so you might be surprised with some accounts. How long the last or how short they are gone! Every bookmaker is different.
The best tip I can give you for keeping accounts open longer than usual is to spread your bets around. Don’t just do the free bet offers with one bookmaker until they close you, try spread it around. For example, do Paddy Power one day, SkyBet the next etc. Try some 2 Ups, bet on the big leagues and they’ll be happy to lay those bets and you could win big. There’s plenty of helpful articles here about 2 Ups. Don’t do any arbs either and that will help. The reality these days is you can have a losing account but if you do a bet and a lot of shrewd accounts follow you in and the market moves, you might get thrown in with a group of closed accounts. Don’t worry too much about it because you’ve no control – just avoid the stuff bookmakers really don’t like. Big arbs etc!
