[Guinness Village]

App ok. All that fuss

log out from oddschecker it should work then

[Benjy23]

Didn't even know people had odds checker accounts.

To bypass the oddschecker limit, just open oddschecker in an incognito window of your browser as the limit is determined by your browsers cache.

Think I'll have to shell out, as it's too useful and convenient a tool.
whether logged in or out or using the app it don't take long until they are asking me to subscribe.

That'll work for a bit, assume this applies to using phone instead of laptop also ?

Yeah I've tried it on both, seems to work fine

Everybody trying to pick the last pieces of flesh from the racing carcass. What the hell is happening to the sport. No doubt every bookmaker on there will be getting their percentage. I don't understand how bookmakers can't see that they are going to go out of business with the things they are doing. Why aren't they shouting from the rooftops to the government.

On another note. My debit card was declined in Ladbrokes yesterday. I took about £2500 out of the shop during Cheltenham and haven't been back in since but decided on cash bets for my National picks. Had to go and draw money out to bet. Don't know if this was just a blip or not but will try again with an ante post bet for Cheltenham in a couple of weeks.

It's getting to the point now where i truly believe next seasons festival will be my last. All eyes on the end of April and what becomes of all of it.

I try to limit single bets to winnings of £500 per shop and only ever place cash bets. Just don't want to run the risk of being restricted in shops too.

Used it on incognito today and it went off again.
However, deleting history and cache etc, has meant it is back on again, so maybe a regular deletion of history/cache might keep it going for a while.

Why can't you just click the 'bet on bookmakers site' option once they're in the slip on Oddschecker?

Surely that's easier than all this regular clearing cache / incognito nonsense.

What do you mean ?
I don't bet through oddschecker, I just view the prices, but now they are blocked.

Are you logged in on oddschecker?

I've never had an account, so was just assuming that was the problem.

If I just type in oddschecker on my browser (it obviously doesn't sign in due to above) I can just browse prices and add to slip as usual. Then click go to bookmakers site. I've found no restrictions? So assumed everyone was doing something different.

To be clear, whether logged in or just browsing oddschecker to view prices for any race or event, after so many visits they block you from seeing the prices at all.
They started by blocking your view of historic prices a few weeks ago and now it's the full board of current prices that are lost once you have visited the site sufficient times.

But if you clear your caches by deleting history this seems to re set it for a while, but only just did this tonight so we'll see how long it lasts or works for.

It's the only comprehensive odds comparison site and for someone who backs daily and can access multi betting accounts it's very convenient to spot best prices available and where. And obviously any market movements of interest.

You obviously don't hang around the site as much as myself
I'll have been through the aintree card and visited it monitoring prices around 6 or seven times already today.

Never use it to make bets and never logged in until yesterday as I thought it might open up the views, but made no difference.
