Bookies will limit you no matter what your stakes are. You can get your account closed by placing £10 bets, and even if those bets don’t win! Bookmakers are on the lookout for exactly the kind of betting behaviour described in the paper: people only betting on the top price, and shopping around for the best odds. If they see that you are only grabbing mis-priced offers, you are unlikely to be a profitable customer to them. The bet size doesn’t really come into it. Just look at it from their point of view; why keep a customer who is costing you money, however little it is.
