Betfair is best ... in terms of odds, you will almost always get better odds there, but remember they are a betting exchange. So there virtually no doubles, trebles and other multiple bets. I would say Ladbrokes & Willhill are good. Victorchandler almost always had the worst odds when i was using them 2 years or so ago. The rest I have never used before. Also checkout www.gamebookers.com .. imo i think they are very good.
Out of the UK based bookies William Hill, I bet only at the shop though so I can't vouch for their internet services, but out of the big 3 they generally have better odds.
Yes. I have an account with them. Their odds are okay but their selection of soccer is not great. However for US residents it is the best since UK based bookies won't accept bets from this side of the Atlantic.
Actually, their soccer odds aren't all that good compared to others. Plus there's no over/unders. It seems as if they gear the soccer to those American bettor who bet on it "once in a blue moon." So if you're wagering on soccer more than a couple times a month you can do much, much better than sportsbook.com. Who could you use instead? You could start with sportingbet.com, which just so happens to be sportsbook.com's parent company, and they are much more comprehensive when it comes to their soccer offerings. But according to sportsbookreview.com they have some customer service problems. There's also Bet365, Canbet, and Pinnacle are all safe options as well. (by the way, some UK books will accept bets from US residents, while others don't, it depends, I guess, on their own policies) If you check out www.sportsbookreview.com they have a bunch of ratings. They aren't 100% objective, as I have some questions about a few of the books they rate well, but it's probably the best resource on the web.
I have two sportsbooks that I like for soccer, canbet and internet1x2. They both have many options. Canbet has the best odds of the two.
Any of you bet or has ever bet on www.sportsinteraction.com ? If so what is your take on that site. It looks like I am getting screwed. The odds there are crap compared to some of the sites you have listed above.
It's given a C+ from sportsbookreview.com. The top rated sites (in no particular order) are Pinnacle, BetCRIS, VIP Sports, The Greek, BetWWTS, BetJamaica, BoDog, and Bet365. I'd move over to one of those. Bet365 and Pinnacle are my personal favorites.
I tried opening an E Check account with Pinnacle but for some reason it got declined. Any one else have trouble opening an account there? Also can someone tell me which sites let you open and confirm an E Check account the same day?
Well, it depends on where you live and who your banking account is with. Assuming that you're in the US, the USDOJ has really been pushing the banks and credit card issuers to decline transactions with online bookmakers. This is probably why your e-check transaction was declined. Even though there is no specific law criminalizing online wagering in the US, the DOJ uses a broad interpretation of the Wire Act of 1961. As I've mentioned before, the best route is to do an InstaCASH deposit through Neteller. You won't have to keep a Neteller balance and there are no fees if you use the big bookmakers. It takes the money directly from your checking account into your book account to be used immediately.
so there isnt any fees if i use bet365 and open an account with nettaler it says the min to be 50 which isnt much but i dont think ill be winning much, so does it have to have a min balance alwayus or just at the beggining.
I think the $50 deposit minimum still applies, but your balance can go below that of course. As long as you request the Neteller InstaCASH deposit through Bet365 (instead of requesting through Neteller's site) you shouldn't incur any fees. (If you make the deposit into Bet365 through the Neteller site, you'll get hit with a 9.3% fee.) I haven't made a transfer since April, so just to test, I just now made a $100 Neteller InstaCASH deposit. There were no fees. There was some talk that they'd pass along a fee starting in early May, but I didn't see one. Remember: once you get the Neteller and Bet365 accounts set up, you won't have to keep any money in your Neteller account. In other words, you don't have to transfer from checking to Neteller and then from Neteller to Bet365. (Common mistake.) You'll just transfer from checking to Bet365 via Neteller InstaCASH. As long as they are footing the bill for the fees, it's a great deal.
When did you set up your Neteller account? You have to verify your checking account with Neteller by recording the small direct deposit they send you. Until then, I don't think you can use InstaCASH. It usually takes at least 24 hours for the direct deposit to show up in your checking account. I'm telling you all of this from memory, so take it for what it's worth.
I just set it up today. it said I did not qualify for Instacash at first but after like the 5th try I qualified, and the money was deposited immediately after I called them up and confirmed.
Cool. Happy wagering. And remember: it's just a hobby for most of us. Don't wager more than you'd care to drop at a pool hall jukebox (beer tab and table fee included).
Ive had account with them for over a year and have had no problems with them so far... My withdrawals usually get to my checking account in less than 48 hrs and I find their odds selection much better than other websites my friends go through. Specially right now during World Cup I love their LIVE betting during games ! its great !!!! it allows you to watch the game and get a better feeling on the outcome of the game and bet even up to the 30th minute of the 2nd half... after that the lines close but I find their odds to be very good and reasonable.
