Interesting that they were generating pretty insignificant returns and their accounts got flagged.

Their bets were not that large $50... wonder what aspect of their play got them flagged.

I would assume the bookies are aware of when they are offering an odd that is above market...they also would know that this is an areas where they are potentially exposed. So maybe they report on that and see who is betting exclusively on those positions?

Confusing though - because they are often offering those odds because they want to balance their position to reduce risk...so wouldn't they want people to be on those odds?
