Bookmakers….Best and Worst??

[Theo2013]

Online bookmakers have now forced me to start betting on course or before the off due to restrictions and closures that’s what I will have to do next year

for me;

The best

1. Bet Victor
2. William hill
3.Paddy power
4. bet365

The worst

1. Betfair sportsbook
2. Ladbrokes
3. Boylesport
4. Betfred
5. Coral
6. Stan James

If you are a winning horse player I would not advise to use bookmakers promotions unless you want to be restricted quicker.

Keep the monies in the accounts for as long as you can this should help.

keep the bets to rounded numbers in £5 increments to stop them believing you are betting to arb.

Yet another bookie with no bollox.. Although to be fair I half expected it from this tin pot outfit.

What really ***** me off is I’m not one for playing the exchanges (I do on occasion) and can’t be ar5ed with arbing but these idiots are forcing me into the former.

Hi Lee, I can sympathise with you having been through the same with a couple
of bottleless bookies.

I don’t have an account with 888sport, but being an avid “in running” better
on golf tournaments, they drive me bloody mad when I’m following the prices on
Oddschecker. I have to suspect they are tied in with 32Red who are the other
bookmaker who continually have the wrong price showing on the lists.

The reason it drives me mad, is that the head of the market, being the shortest
priced, is at the the top of the list, and then the list descends with golfers
who’s odds get larger (in general). Both 888sport and 32Red show prices which
aren’t just different, or even slightly slow to change, they are completely out
of order with the rest of the market. For example, golfer A is generally 9/2 or 5/1,
but 888sport and 32Red might be showing him as 25/1, and stay like that for either
long periods, or more or less throughout the tournament.

It’s annoying, and doesn’t sit right with the eye when the favourite might be sitting
10th on the list, and others are well out of their rightful place . I’ve checked to see
their prices on their site, and they are in keeping with the actual price, not the
ridiculous price on oddschecker.

I know this might make me sound a bit anally retentive, but it does really p**s me off. I did
actually bring this up using oddschecker’s “feed back” section, and got a nice reply by email
saying they were aware of the problem and were trying to resolve it with the 2. It still happens,
so it doesn’t say much for either. I won’t be signing up to either any time soon

Yes, their oddschecker association has always been a farce BigG. One minute they’re on the list then they don’t even show up as a bookie, then next day they’re back on and I’ve noticed the wild price discrepancies too so they’ve clearly had problems.

They were hardly ever best price but I used them, albeit infrequently, as they at least took my bets – although that’s now gone by the sound of it – even though their mobile app was cr@p.
