Internet on phone

Scenario, I've got 5 different betting accounts with the same bookmaker. Account A wins, account B wins, accounts C and D are caught. Accounts were used in alphabetical order, all bets were placed on my phone. Over the time is there anyway they can link anything to conclude that it's the same person placing the bets?

Note: I didn't connect to home wifi.

Well they do know. I've worked in the gambling history, and when you're using online they know everything about you. Finding multiple accounts is easy.

I've been banned from a few bookies, so i know a few of the tricks they use to detect accounts, but unless you are using a betting app, the source mac address by the very nature of networking is unobtainable.

Is there any threshold for amount of money withdrawn before it is checked how it was won. For example soon as it reaches a £1,000 it is looked into. Might not be your area, and suppose it will vary bookie by bookie.

Ladbrokes, used to ban me after £450
William Hill typically about £800
Paddy Power on average £2,500

Sometimes a trick is to appear like a fairly high roller, so start with a large deposit in the account. So if you deposit £5+k and win £1k it doesn't seem overly untoward. Deposit £100 and win £1k you are more likely to be banned. Also flushing money in the casino, so betting for example Red and Black, and taking the occasional hair cut, makes them a bit less focused on the account.

I might add that I once turned £10 into a few thousand, by winning lots of modest bets, I was astounded i got a way with that. But most bookies should be on their toes regarding, spotting outliers like that.

They have a whole department at William Hill head office in Leeds and use a colour code system that denotes the skill of each account. They're more likely to begin restricting your bets as you move up in the colour system which indicates your win to loss ratio is higher than the average person. If they don't want you at William Hill because you're winning too much, they'll 99% of the time restrict your bets on certain markets to a ridiculous amount.

I'd love to get the inside scoop in those departments.

Well I did a Coral account last couple of weeks. Initial deposit was £300 or £350, lost a few initial bets, ending up at a balance at around £287. Found a duplicate, turned it into over £2100. Left it a week and in the meantime placed a few small fiver/tenner bets. Withdrew £800 Wednesday got the money. Went to place a bet Friday and my bet max was £0, so £1,253 withdrawal, result......

I have looked intoyour query and can advise, that your account has been frozen due bet O/12370973/00000XX being resettled. This has in turn left your account in a negative balance of £-502.00 and will need to be paid back before the account can be reopend.

What was the resettled bet? They don't usually settle a bet until it's set in stone.

Well it was a betlike this-

Bet Type Bet Date Channel Result Date Status Unit Stake Total Stake Returns Bonus

Double
(To Win) 05/02/2016 17:57:04 coral web 2016-02-06 03:06:26 Win £40.00 £40.00 £1960.00 £0.00

1 Deportivo Municipal 1-0 - San Martin v Deportivo Municipal - Correct Score 7.00 Won

2 Club Deportivo Municipal 1-0 - Universidad San Matrin de Porres v Club Deportivo Municipal - Correct Score 7.00 Won

So obviously within their terms and conditions that they can either cancel the bet, or settle it as a single.

So you placed a double and both lines won. Surely they had no case then?

It's the same team for both parts of the double. Essentially turning the bookies vig into something like -96%. A dream bet for the punter.
