Betfair

Been with them a little while now and they seemed ok. However for some starnge reason they have stopped their best price guaranteed on multiples and the BPG now only applies to singles. Have they lost the odd billion or what.
I shall have to look elsewhere unless all bookies are doing that now.

I lost all BOG privileges a long time ago.

I still get the emails, though, and the spin they put on it being by popular demand was worthy of a BBC3 sitcom.

They have changed to £1 minimum stake as well.

I must admit that I always thought they paid three places if 8 runners were declared but there were non runners on the day. I know they do on the single place markets but they don’t on the e/w markets.

Different rules exchange and sportsbook?

Never use Sportsbook, it’s crap!

I think Droffats was referring to the Sportsbook.

Personally I find Bet365 a good provider.

BOG from the point of 48hr declarations singles and multiples and not as keen as the others to restrict stakes.
The eachway extra and betting without the fav markets are competitive also.

Worth a go IMHO.

I heard some pro’s saying that betDaq is the better exchange these days but I would say betfair exchange has the bigger liquidity still based on some basic research.

Agree on Bet365. My preferred choice, if and when possible. In addition to their two daily 4/1 offer races – bumped up to cover every live ITV race – they are regularly the biggest price on Oddschecker. They’ve also recently starting offering a Bet Boost on one horse in each race. Although you lose the BOG, it’s very tempting when they can be a point bigger than the other firms, then offer a further half point on top.

[IanDavies]

Bet365 are the best bookmaker….until they restrict you.

And with industry-leading odds, the tightest margins, often only just shorter than Betfair exchange, and BOG from the day before, getting restricted is only a matter of time if you know what you’re doing.

For me – when I was betting – bet365 were better than most.
Although yes, BOG and other “offers” went a long time ago, at least I could get a fair sized bet on.
Which is more than I can say for Sportsbook.

Ginger Have you given up betting? I thought it was how you made a living. I can understand why you wouldn’t want to put all your bets up here, but I didn’t think you had stopped altogether.
