    My account on Paddy Power is empty, just wondering is it worth the bother of joining another?

    Im a rookie with all this. What sort of offers do they have? Bet 365 has seemed to get alot of good reviews

    I would'nt be interested in betfair myself, wouldnt be wide to to backing/laying bets and cashing out before a result is over etc, not for me, i would rather bet with a regular bookie, i have tryed many, heres my summary on the ones i've tried.

    Personally i didnt like bet365, their layout can be annoying, its all in black can be annoying to navigate around, plus they take forever to settle a bet. And i never noticed a big difference in their prices towards Paddy Powers,

    I only used ladbrokes a couple of times for the free €30 bet sign up offer, they have a poor choice for live betting, so i left them,

    I left Boyles for the same reason as Ladbrokes.

    William Hill is a pretty good site, similar prices to powers, and alot of choice when it comes to Live betting, i still use them,

    Other than that i use Paddy Powers aswell, mainly because i get regular free bets off them which is always a good thing.

    They are really the only 2 bookies i use now.

    Of course they are just my opinions, and other people will have their own preferences, but i just thought i would give my cents worth on the topic.

    Hope this helps

    The best thing to do is open as many accounts as you can and sign up for all the free bets.Then go to oddschecker before placing a bet and bet with whatever bookmaker offers the best price.I find bet 365 to be the best for all the in play bets they have a lot more markets than paddy power.

    I have accounts with all bookies

    Use Paddypower for the loosers

    Betfair for the winners.

    There is no reason not to use Betfair if you are a winner, as the odds are always better.

    If you loose it make no difference, Paddy Power are most user friendly

    I never had any problem making a withdraw.The only thing i had to do was email my id which you have to do with all betting sites.

    no you dont send id to all betting sites,

    only a few who put up barriers to withdrawing money

    I have had to email my id to betfair,boylesports,bet365 and william hill off the top of my head and don't see what the problem is with having to send it.

    I brought up this question to a fella on the phone from bet365, he said it's so if people are in a rush to put a bet on then they do not have to wait 24hrs to prove their age and can instead do it after, seems to make a bit of sense i suppose.But strictly speaking you should have to prove it before depositing or at least be informed of the i.d verification post depositing.
