Short answer: yes. Fewer accounts means fewer bets, not worse ones. Here is the cost, and what is left.
Every pick is one price at one bookmaker. No account at that book, no bet.
So each account you lose takes its picks with it. The cost is volume. You get on fewer bets a day. Value betting pays through volume, so fewer bets means slower.
You lose bets, not the method.
The picks your books still carry are untouched. A price that is too big at a book you hold is exactly as big whether you hold two accounts or ten.
Nothing about the account you lost changes the value at the ones that kept you.
Block the bookmakers you cannot bet. Every pick, price and edge the board shows after that is at a book you hold.
A runner that is only value at books you blocked never appears. Nothing on your board is out of reach.
New bookmakers open every year. A book that did not exist when you were limited has no file on you.
Every high street still has betting shops. A shop takes cash. There is no account, so there is nothing to limit.
It is not a free pass. Staff can refuse or cut a bet. The price and each-way terms on a machine can differ from the same firm's website. Check both before the cash goes in.
More books and better books mean more value. That part is obvious. But there is plenty of volume left down the list.
Betfred is the least-quoted book on our board. In under a week of logging every price, it still appeared 553 times, 26 of them as the outright best price. The books most punters have never heard of each carried over 1,200.
