I don't know why you single out
"bookmakers operating in Ireland", do you think it's any different anywhere else ?
They are in the game to make money, not to lose it !!
As stated before the only way to beat them is with multiple CC accounts, or possibly 'Shoe-leather' !
Surely you could find a trusted friend or relative to allow you use of their account,
PS. they must not reside in the same address as you.
This is an excerpt from Gerry's Scam, a tale that I put a lot of thought in to mostly from experience in the game;
First order of business fer Gerry was to find himself a 'Patsy' someone other than himself, someone with a half decent record and no interest in the gambling game, he immediately thought of his mate Tommy 'No Balls' who was fresh out of prison. He called to Tommy's home and managed to coerce Tommy in to opening a brand-new bank account in his own name and offering him a €100 start up fee and another €100 a week fer the next 2 weeks after, and €50 a week fer the next 9 weeks after that, and a €250 sign off bonus when he closed his bank account after the 12 weeks, provided he stuck to the rules. Tommy agreed in principle.
Then Gerry explained the rules to him, "Firstly you open the bank account in your own name but you put the initial of your second name on the bank account, as in you open it as 'Thomas B Coleman' and any mail that comes through your letterbox marked as 'Thomas B Coleman' then you ring me and I will collect it and it must be UNOPENED. I also need a photo of a utility bill of yours and a photo of your drivers license or passport, and that's about it until we finish it up in 3 months time". Tommy agreed. Gerry told him to get all his I.D. bits together and walked with him to the bank. Gerry waited outside as Tommy did exactly as instructed in the bank and Gerry paid him the start-up fee of €100 in cash and warned him to keep his gob shut.
