Absolutely 10000% confirmation - all bets you have with any bookmaker that are not settled are classed as ‘losing’ bets.
I had a random phone call from Skybet pre Xmas last year asking if I’d realized how much money I’d staked as ‘open bets’….I explained I was hoping they were ‘investments’ for future months (Cheltenham) and that my hope was I would profit from them. Skybet not only restricted my account on that date, but confirmed (when I asked why they were restricting my monthly allowance by 80%) that all open bets are indeed, classed as ‘losing bets’.
And of course, a few months later, I had turned a very healthy profit from them. I really wanted to phone them up and remind them of the phone call they made to me. However, whilst they still allow me to (strangely) make 3 figure bets on other sports (and not on horse racing), I still have my skybet account.
And it’s one I do not wish to lose - for love nor money.
Well, for the right kind of money next March, at least!

Thank's for that Info Bollinger , very useful to know.
As we were chatting about this here , i decided to check my A/P bets that i have currently.
Thankfully i'm below the Threshold mentioned above , so any A/p. from now on, i will monitor.
and bet's made in shop from then on ..

Anyone else logged on to Ladbrokes today to find they've introduced an annual loss limit with job, salary etc... details requested? I barely use them so it's nothing along those lines.Last edited by Atlantic Viking; 20 July 2022, 09:23 AM.
