Instead, there are a couple of ways you\u2019ll be able to cancel out the mistake. Some bookmakers offer a cash out option, where you can get some of your stake back. Alternatively, you can offset the bet by laying in a betting exchange, such as Betfair, using one of Oddsmonkey\u2019s handy calculators.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-13315\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"15\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-13315\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">My betting account has been restricted\/gubbed, what can I do?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-13315\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"15\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-13315\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as \u201cgubbing\u201d, certain bookmakers will bar you from any further promotional offers or impose a maximum stake limit if they feel you\u2019ve been taking advantage of them.

But we want to minimise our chances of getting gubbed and keep our accounts healthy so we can continue to profit long term.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, there are a few ways we can look to keep the bookies from gubbing us:<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Mug Betting<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the process of placing a bet with the bookie that has no offer attached. Usually it\u2019s a good idea to bet on high profile football matches or other high profile events. This will make us look like a typical punter and not someone who is purely interested in extracting bonuses. Of course we are matched bettors so we don\u2019t want to lose any money, so we always lay these bets off at the exchange in the same way we would a qualifying bet.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Pick a team<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Betting on your favourite team every week is something a mug punter would be doing so you should do that too. Choose a team and bet on them to win every week, again laying the bet.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Deposit more than needed<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quite often, an opening offer will require a qualifying bet of \u00a310 so instead of depositing exactly \u00a310, deposit \u00a320 or a different amount. This makes the bookie think you are there for more than just their opening offer.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Mix it up<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t go for the full refund every time. On the horses for example, there are often money back offers for coming second. They are usually capped at \u00a325. Instead of betting \u00a325 why not bet \u00a320 or even go higher and bet \u00a330. We still qualify for the offer but it makes it less obvious we are just after the refund.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-13317\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"17\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-13317\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">Can I open multiple accounts with bookmakers?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-13317\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"17\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-13317\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, you really shouldn\u2019t do this.
