    PP and no they don't give me many freebies - the odd one worth a fiver.

    I use www.oddschecker.com to see who have the best odds for each bet I make, so to answer your question, I use all the online betting sites!

    PP tend to have the worst odds btw.

    Likewise. Oddschecker is handy. I've over 100 accounts and tend to go where the best odds are.

    Have accounts with Betfair, Boyles and bet365

    Got 160 euro worth free bets with Boyles and Bet365 each (which i won nice sum money on at time:D). With Betfair I got 25 bet.

    Still get the odd offer from bet365 10-15 quid and at xmas often seem get a bonus of some sort. Boyles maybe odd 5euro free bet same with betfair.

    I hope all ye guys have a CCard in the black , especially with all the on-line bookies available .

    I have to say , that I don't have an online bookie anymore , - for obvious reasons . !:(

    I don't even own a credit card, and I never intend to. Terrible way to manage money.

    Anyway, my bookie is almost soley betfair, and they give a a free bet or bonus almost weekly.

    Thinking of PaddyPower for Soccer Accumulators.

    Fancy my chances and the odds are quite decent.

    For singles though I'm with William Hill although yet to deposit into either account.

    Anyone here do the accumulator? Or the good auld pools? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,300 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    I have betfair and Boylesports

    Betfair almost always seem to have better odds, and often good offers on, and also ring me once a year to answer a few questions and give me a €20 bet after 10 mins or so on the phone (last year I had a lucky run and that turned into about €250 and paid for a weekend home)

    Boylesports are handy for football accumulators, especially those speculative 500/1 ones where you just want to throw on €1

    I don't want to start a new thrad for this so hopefully im not too OT.

    With all these online bookies do ye use your credit card to fund them or moneybookers and the like? Reason im asking is that in the coming years i will be looking for a mortgage. I'm led to believe moneybookers is my best bet for this then but here lies an issue. When i upload funds it asks me if it is for Gaming or Non-Gaming purposes. I choose gaming first time out the other day and then verified my CC. I got it verified today and went o upload more only for the transaction to fail. I had thought my bank wouldn't see what it is for but alas as i put gaming as the purpose for the initial upload do they now know it is for bookies? And if i was to upload using the Non gaming facility in future will moneybookers then allow me to put that into bookie accounts? I want to get the best odds all the time so hence i would need to open up numerous accounts and thus i will need to use moneybookers or is there another way around it? What way do ye manage multiple online accounts?

    Are you saying you're worried about your bank knowing you're a gambler?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,131 ✭✭✭Bambaata


    i dont want to leave a trail of bookie transactions. ive aq list iof about 15 bookies i check odds at and would prefer to not have to use the bank CC everytime i want to place a bet. sorry im new to it and am just wondering how people get around the bank issue? so yes i dont particularly want them knowing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    My CC statement shows ''Betfair '' which is not really appropriate .

    My CC shows ''PP online '' for Paddy Powers

    Seperate account with another bank. If you're AIB set up a seperate one with BOI.

    I'm a PPs Online Man myself.
    Wouldn't be the biggest or most regular of gambler so not much point in opening up multiple accounts.
    I find their' Live Help & C.S. be it via e-mail or Dial-A-Bet to be suitable to my needs.
    I use my Laser to Credit my Account if needs be.
    In the extremely unlikely event I get mortgage to buy my own place, I'd be worried that bank'd see me as a risk if they see PPs Online as one or more of my transactions. Still I'll cross that bridge if it comes to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Alyosha


    I don't bet massive but like to get the best odds around. I've got accounts with: Betfair, Boyles, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Bet365 and PP.

    That's pretty much in order of profitability too I reckon....hitting the red somewhere between Ladcrooks and Bet £3.65!
