Just received a patronising e mail from Coral suggesting they were looking out for me?? I am 83 and I didn't get here with their help! Obviously I was taking advantage of their freebies! They ought to man up and say that! Told them where to go and cancelled my Account and the same will go for any of the rest of the insulting hypocrites, who attempt to nanny me!

I think it is a David and Goliath situation. I am a pensioner and bet small ,Recently the biggest bet I made was one on Betfair bet £5 get £5. I didn't get my £5 back so I argued and they fielded me, until, in the end, I said I would report them to the Gambling Comission, which I did and that was just a waste of time. I chalk it up to experience and won't be caught out again! However, the next thing I know when I log in to Coral, I get this self exclusion notice, Granted i take all the freebies going, but no matter in the end the bookie gets it all back and more. We understand that. Next thing I get the same notice from Ladbroke's. Looks like they got the hang of it! As a matter of fact I have come to the conclusion it is a very hypocritical business, showing all Gamble Aware notices and luring you in with special offers. Maybe I was not profiting them enough with my small bets, 10p ea way trebles etc...and small wins Essentially there are plenty more fish in the sea. If I ever want to exclude myself I will not need any bookie to advise me.
