  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,987 ✭✭✭Trampas


    no.

    I like bet365 as they offer a bigger market on bets and all you to adjust handicaps etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Boyles.

    Nice bookie offices.

    Excellent website and the best poker host.

    Bruces and Celtic. I find them to be the most competitive on prices, simple as.

    Boyle sports are terrible very hard to get a decent bet on . Paddy are slightly better . I find some of the smaller independent bookie best


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,934 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    myself I like pp

    because the site is very easy to use etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,439 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    PP are the greediest bunch out there. In-running American sports are liable to have handicap draws as well as them marking up on both sides. If you make an error when you place a bet and you want to change it they won't let you, even if you ring them before the event starts. Ladbrokes are terrible as well, and probably have the worst customer service of all.

    Imo the two best bookies are bet365 and Boyles. The first one has so many markets, the second one is very customer friendly and also you can deposit and withdraw cash in their shops which is really handy. I've contacted them in the past when I made an error on a bet before the event started and they changed it for me.

    On course - Ellen Martin for obvious reasons.

    Off course - Probably PP

    Bet 365 have consistently the best odds of the main bookies and would have to be my fav.

    PP does have the best website though.

    I've heard lots of good things about Bet365. What are they like when it comes to withdrawals?

    Too many for gods sake here's a few 250 each way on a 16/1 shot was put down to a hundred or the bet at sp
    Any decent bet on a dog at a bags meeting especially crayford not a chance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 804 ✭✭✭jkmanc1974


    Boyles have some great shops, was in their shop in Citywest earlier today and tis the biggest in Ireland surely!!! However getting on with them and Powers can be challenging to say the least.....especially when you want to punt on dogs....

    betfair !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭minty16


    Paddy Power. The easiest to deal with, nicest shops, guaranteed prices, Mbs's, I find better odds, especially if you get on early.

    Betfair is miles ahead of other exchanges and have best value, but are utter Cu-n-ts to deal with.
