Betting advice request.

Have you tried the "unjustified indignation" approach?

This approach would lead you to rant at some B365 Call centre schmoe, demonstrating utter "indignation" that their security checks appear to have permitted 2 x accounts to be opened in your name, but with an erroneous DOB on one of them. If B365 play the "It's your own fault" card, then play-up the "But what if it hadn't been me?" card.
Make oblique references to B365 potentially compromising you in terms of account cloning, and that you would like both account to be closed, and all associated monies returned, due to the threat of potential fraud.

Attack is always the best form of defence.
 
Yes Slim, that ( the d.o.b.) is the only discrepancy between the two.
Plus of course the correct d.o.b. is long closed (opened maybe 15 years ago), whereas the incorrect d.o.b. current one is fine for betting and non-restricted with ~€1,150 in it.

Devious ! I like it. :D

Guys, I'm conscious of boring you nice helpful people with this tale of self-caused woe. I won't impinge further on your generosity with time and advice.
I'll take you advices on board, and bite the bullet. I'll contact Bet365 this coming week and submit the blasted documentation for better or worse. I fear the worst, but this issue needs to be addressed for once and all -- for better or worse, for boom or bust.

Thanks all for your kind assistance in the matter. :)
 
Could you find some bad favourites, back them on your 365 and lay them on the exchange?

Very first post, Slim. The bets keep winning for some reason -- mostly favs I was doing. Knowing how against me it went I wouldn't be surprised if I picked a random 20/1 hoss on Bet365 and arbed it -- it would likely win. I've given up on this approach.
Believe me, I tried this approach -- it's the reason why the feckin' account has grown to this current amount.
 
The fact Bet365 have not linked the accounts makes me wonder if the 15 year old account has been forgotten.
 
Alternative approach:

Phone their call centre up and be nice as pie.

"Hello, I appear to have made the somewhat stupid error of inputting the wrong DOB on my profile. I suspect I may have been on the sweet sherry that evening - hoho!! Is there any way you can correct this for me? Why of course I'd be happy to scan/e-mail my Passport details if that's what it takes".

If the obsequious cu*nt routine doesn't work, out with the Howitzer.
 
Ring them up now and ask to withdraw. They'll ask for you passport number and it will be job done.

I can't Benny, the bastids I pick keep winning.
Someone might remember I pleaded with E.C. on here about 2 years ago to continue a Lay thread he started but then stopped. It was for this reason I wan
ted him to continue it, it was about the only losers I could get on Bet365.

Forge the d.o.b onto the verification if you are copying it,only a thought

Easy enough to do this. I managed it on a rubbish PC in the 90s when you could get into nightclubs on a colour photocopy of your passport. 1981 miraculously became 1979 with a little help from Paint.

Yeehah, now we reached the real durty sewer stuff.
This is the question I've "always wanted to ask but was afraid to ask"
Can a bookmaker's c.s. verification staff have access to d.o.b.'s from the passport number only? Do bookmaker's staff have view-enablement of the Government passport database with all the personal detail such as d.o.b.?
 
This is far too much paranoia for £1.1k. Ring them up to **** and get it sorted.

That's the problem, tho', links, as I said above.
Can they tell the d.o.b. from just the passport number?

And yes, Bet365 will process verification over the phone.

Benny, they ( bookmakers) have become a lot more sophisticated these days.

And I'll tell you this, they also employ face-recognition software for verifying passports, and keep a database of such profiles to protect themselves against gnomers, bonus-abusers, and sign-up tarts.
 
You are not a known abuser so I really don't see the problem here. Just ring them now and stop stressing over nothing.

Okay so, I'll do it.
And when I lose my Kay I'll curse you till the ends of time even if you do continue posting successful Will-Wins for years to come..

(Only joking, of course).
