  1. Hey Unibeters,Due to the responses received from several of my existing fantasy CricketXI players I have decided to run my two (Classic & Head to Head) small stakes fantasy money leagues on this season's Metro Bank One-Day Cup. This will probably only be of interest to folk in the UK or ex pats of the UK (but any ones welcome to join in - if you like cricket or wanna get into it join it).I’ve just set up my 2 leagues - one is an open league where you’re all on a ladder based on your total fantasy points scored. The other is a head-to-head type league where you play one other team from the league each round and you win, lose or tie. A win is 4 points, a Tie 2 points and a loss 0. That decides your position in the league with tie breakers to split teams such as points % (difference between points scored and points scored against you).Also, I think in the head-to-head league the top 6 teams will make the finals (and play across the 3 final rounds) but am trying to get CricketXI to confirm this.I host all my fantasy games rules, winners history and what have you on TFP (TheFanPub) forum to have one central place folk from all over the internet/world can go to at any time see what I have going on and refer back to rules, payouts etc.So just wanted to make you cricket liking Unibeters aware as y'all welcome (as long as you've never previously welched on entry fees in a game of mine) to join any of my fantasy leagues.So if you fancy getting involved in £5 fantasy money league(s) for the Metro Bank 50 Over One Day Cup starting this Tuesday (1st August, 2023) head on over to TFP and have a read of my rules and follow the links to CricketXI's website where you can make up a team and feel free to join my money leagues using my league(s) codes (posted on TFP): Metro Bank One-Day Cup 2023 (CricketXI.com) - £5 Money Leagues
  2. Every time I click on Promos I see a huge page of offers and feel slighted that I can't avail myself of them - think I hardly log in to Unibet now as just go place my bets elsewhere after seeing who's got best price on Odds Checker. Just becomes a habit neglecting sports books that have gubbed or restricted you - thinking that's by design they actually want you to go away so I do going to ones that will let me avail of BOG or earna MBS free bet etc. I was never a huge Horse Racing better anyhow so but seems super strange to me I got the following internal message last November: RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS This communication refers to the betting account that you hold with UNIBET, specifically your eligibility for our Horse Racing Promotions. The decision has been taken to limit the number of accounts eligible for such promotions, and we regret to inform you that your account will no longer qualify for Online Racing Promotions and Best Odds Guaranteed. 17.2 Unibet reserves the right to make changes to the betting limits, pay-out limits and offerings and add or remove promotions at Unibet's discretion at an individual customer level.

  3. I only bet a few horses here and there on Unibet over the last year and then got gubbed - told I can no longer get BOG or do any horse racing promos. This was a shock as I not only did not many bets (imo) on Unibet but also have been a loser consistently (am pretty well down) so it was right out of left field to be getting that e-mail. I thought only winners or arbers etc., had problems with restrictions on sports books but seems I was wrong on that. It sadly seems like it's not really a book making industry anymore but a profit driven business where only the degenerate losers are wanted and anyone else not deemed profitable in the long term is weeded out - the ALGORITHM SAYS NO!
  4. Am I allowed to advertise my fantasy sports leagues on this forum? I never thought about it and am sad I never filled my fantasy county cricket Head-to-Head small stakes money league (only got 11 players and max/wanted was 16). Just be good to know if I can spread word of my games here in future - always hard getting strangers to trust one online but spreading word is also hard as not many places to reach interested parties online. I currently use Discord, Facebook, Twitter and TheFanPub forum. This being a gambling forum just maybe people who like betting on sports would be more open to partaking in fantasy sports money leagues? So over to you Unibet mods....
  5. @GR1ZZL3R Exactly that - they all pool info and share black lists plus run software to track you like lovation. Also maybe your an Exchange trader or work in the sports industry and it's on your linked-in or social media profiles. I myself have been a degenerate gambler and never was refused a bet or been KYC'ed when losing thousands in a day but as soon as I bet smart, I take offers, bet smart, have a purple patch and slowly increase my balances I have suffered restrictions, been gubbed or had account closed. So many Sportsbooks I'm no longer fully welcome at. Sooner UK (if ever to many MP's in industry's pocket,) gets a minimum bet law and then not allowed to refuse business the better. Until then I am limited where I bet. Now a leading questions do you like fantasy sports - do you do money leagues?
  6. Now I have heard about accounts being restricted because they win or show sharp practice, beat the true odds etc., but this is the first time I have been excluded from such promo's without hardly betting the GG's on Unibet and not winning/turning a profit: RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS This communication refers to the betting account that you hold with UNIBET, specifically your eligibility for our Horse Racing Promotions.

  7. Never seen the American 'House of Cards' but know it was a remake of a great British TV series I watched many many years ago - it also had 2 sequels - 'To Play The King' and can't recall third ones title off the top of my head.
  8. Hey are you an NFL fantasy football fanatic - yes, then read on… Well if the answers yes please check out my 1 & Done game. I have 4 entries this year plus a guy in waiting that said he would come in if I get 5+. You have to pick a whole new entry each week of season including Playoffs. But you can never use choices (Head Coaches/Players/Team Defences) more than once. Hence name of game - 1 & Done. The other thing that makes it so hard is post season rounds are worth more points x2 (Wild Card), x3 (Divisional Playoffs) x4 (Championship Games) & x5 (Super Bowl). So it's a headache strategy wise. Do you use studs early but struggle in post season for good players to pick or do you save them but then discover they get hurt or don't make it as far as you thought and thus never get to use them? So much thought needs to go in each week plus you need to keep a check on your picks to make sure you've not used them prior. Its £20 for the season and all entry fee money goes back out as prizes so more entries makes the competition better. You can change your mind on your choices but rule is entry must be posted on the TFP (The FanPub) forum thread before first game of any day. Never edit an entry as I use the Post Times to validate entries so an edit invalidates it as it could have been edited after games start. Always make a fresh new post if changing mind on picks. Have a read of full rules (link below). It's like fantasy NFL leagues with points for Yards, TDs etc. All scoring is posted on the thread via pictures. There is a link to my spread sheet on Google sheets where I score everyone's points and you can see all other players entries (including mine - as I play to) with points updated all season long. I'm sure if you big into the NFL you'd like this game to play along side the season, so give it a chance (post your entry before tonights main slate of games start (just don't pick anyone from Thursday Nights game for this week now): TFP / BLM - NFL 1 & Done! - 2022/23 (£20 entry fee)
  9. I am an avid TV series and Box Set watcher - always have about 50 shows/series on the go at any one time. I just recently finished Justified. It takes me ages to finish things as I rotate them - so will usually do a season and then put it to back of queue. When I finish a TV series I do a little review on FB and give it a mark out of 10. Alas many series in the past it seems I forgot to rate or review but been keeping a list on my PC. I am a notoriously tight grader. Most things will get between 4-6 with me, below that I really did not like it - above that was really something that stood out and I enjoyed a lot. Nothing has ever gotten a 10 as there's always room for something better. Any way here's my Ratings Key: 0 - SUICIDE IS PREFERABLE 1 - WILL SEND YOU TO SLEEP - PERMANENTLY! 2 - BORING AS HELL 3 - BAD 4 - IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO 5 - WORTH WATCHING 6 - GOOD 7 - GREAT 8 - SUPERB 9 - TOTALLY AWESOME - STRAIGHT OUTTA MOVIE HEAVEN 10 - BETTER THAN SEX!

  10. Is there any NFL competitions or promotions in here? I think many years ago I saw one - stumbled on it near the end of the season and thought I'll have some of that next year, alas never to see it again.
  11. I know this is the most unlikely place to find the perfect replacement but I am searching for one dedicated active long term player who genuinely supports an AFC team (not already represented) for my Auction Draft league with crazy rules like Player Poaching. Naturally being a dynasty league it's not level - some franchises are super strong and the challenge is getting used to the rules and then forming a strategy, finding an angle so that over the long haul you turn your team around and can compete to win a Super Bowl down the line. That's where the satisfaction and achievement comes - when you successfully do that. Full rules and the ethos plus history of the league going into it's 10th season can be found here: REAL TEAM ALLEGIANCE League (NFL.com) - Year 10 (2022)
  12. Should any one be interested I have run such for over 2 decades. I post all my info openly on a public forum - just follow the links and have a read. All welcome.

  13. It means they don't want your business - all bookies (sports books) do it if you win consistently, take value prices, beat the over round, do to many offers and or generally do anything that makes you look like you won't be profitable in the long term. It's not book making anymore - but algorithms and trading decisions based on a rating of how much a mug one is as to how much your allowed to bet. You being limited to zero means your not deemed a loser - I bet you can still stake as much as you want in Games & Casino though.
  14. Why are there no races listed for todays ITV7 races? https://www.unibet.co.uk/promotions/sportsbook-promotions/15-to-go
  15. This is a known issue in the sports betting world and all firms use these KYC checks to prevaircate and try to delay or not pay out winners. There are videos on Youtube and discussions on Twitter - many have found when calling said bookies out in pubic (via posts on Twitter for instance) often changes the sports books mind and they pay out but most who have gone that route find afterwards they are gubbed (not allowed bonus offers anymore ie BOG, MBS, Price Boosts etc.) or restricted - limited to how much they can stake. Industry is curropt - it don't like nor tolerate winners:
