Two sets of 5 at the back. A draw not a terrible result for either. 0-0 @ 25/1 looks tempting.

Apologies for losing 10 cent.

Lol. If I were to have a wild guess here I'd guess what happened is Unibet under pressure to do so many affordability checks just landed on this guy as one because he wasn't betting/losing enough.

Read that yesterday alright and was fairly baffled...unless he left out that he went nuts on Casino and asked for a deposit limit increase.

When I was gubbed by live score I had a back and forth with them by email, and one of their reps.said they were sorry to lose my business because of my "needing to take a break from gambling" insinuating I had a gambling problem.

So guessing some trader wrote me down as a self excluder, which is why the customer service rep thought I'd stopped myself.

These affordability checks in the UK are a complete mess. Maybe degenerates like me will jump through a few hoops to get a bet on, but I'm guessing a lot of recs just go "fuck it" and go elsewhere. Leaving the company's like Livescore and Unibet to fiddle their "problem gambling" steps.

Until a guy like yer man comes along and embarrasses them

Betfair scrapping the premium charge in the new year. Wonder what their motive is?
Dwindling markets?
Increased competition from the likes of MB, Smarkets?

They're replacing it with an "expert fee" over a rolling 52 week period. Not that any of this will affect me.
