Would online bookies prevent "sure thing" bets?

Say I lost €10, but I wanted to get it back gradually by betting on lots of small odd "sure things" with €50 (like say a football match score is 2-0 with 2 minutes left, and I bet that the team with 2 goals win) and I get back €2 or something on a €50 bet. Would online bookies eventually step in if I kept on winning these…

Boss, if you can get your system to scale then you'd be surprised how quickly you would see a living being made from it. ( But , and it is a big BUT ...... getting it to scale is whole problem in itself because at small stakes your stats might tell you I can get a certain lay price etc etc in order to make % X but when your start dealing with £100 instead of £1 then that extra click you need on the back price or what ever might only be available for the first £5, after that you have to take one click less and that then drags you into break even territory or worse.
