    What is not right. Firstly I am not laundering anything, and even if I was why should they keep it? It is not their money.

    You just don't get it do you. Until you provide acceptable ID you could be anybody.

    They are using the identity thing to steal people's money just like the criminals they are.
    You'll need to quit the melodramatic nonsense if you want people to help you.

    Your so called found guilty never ever happened .
    The SP is not a Ladbrokes product but produced by an independant source on course .

    No they were found guilty I remember reading about it indeed I think maybe they provided the starting prices. OR maybe the they provided false information to the people who do the starting prices.

    Because I had notice sometime the giving starting price was sometimes greater than or less than the last price displayed because it take a while for the figure to go through, so it was 50/50 whether is was higher or lower.

    But then something changed it was *always* lower. This was very noticeable, it it stuck out like a sore thumb, it is like spinning a coin which was randomly heads or trails, but then suddenly it was *always* tails.

    As I say very noticeable, gamblers notice that sort of stuff. Folk were complaining the shop and the manager said he had noticed too.

    I am not imagining this, it did happen.

    Incorrect they were trying to steal my money, would you just accept that?

    No you would not.

    If nobody made a fuss they would never pay out at all.

    Thing is most people lose money, I don't I make from free bets and stuff so my accounts has been about the same for years.

    You are beginning to come across as slightly unhinged. They can keep the money unless you prove who you say you are. Anti money laundering provisions allow them to do so so no amount of threatening to run to Martin Lewis and tell tales is going to work.

    Only slightly? They started 3 identical threads in differing places, one (so far) has been deleted as spam. Given his other posts and threads they're definitely worth adding to your ignore list.

    If you're convinced that they're committing a crime then go to the police. They really aren't though.

    Thats a not unknown Gamblers lack of knowledge/ flights of fantasy .
    As i said Ladbrokes do not make the SP , I could explain the simple mechanics of SP but you are never going to believe the truth .
    PS i have been involved for many many years with the Racecourse betting markets and know my SP returners from my Ladbrokes course reps .


    PPS shows and SP are not from the same source.

    I am the person who opened the account, not any body the money should go back to my account. I have not been convicted of money laundering cos I have not, my account has been roughly the same for years as I have made use of free bets and done "matched betting" so I don't lose either way. There is matched betting board here too.

    I posted the same thing the matched betting board too, but the thread has been deleted, seem they also deleted my thread on the vents and praise board too.

    You can't just spam every board with the same nonsense, it's bad enough we have to read it once let alone 3 times :)

    One thread per topic or it's just tedious.

    Yoi have been told what you need to do. Do it or don't, I doubt anybody here cares but please stop spouting absolute drivel multiple times.
