    AVOID SKYBET!!

    Opened a Skybet account couple days ago..poss regretting it now.

    Their odds are absolutely TERRIBLE!! Score and win for Eng V Fra...not 1 best price available according to oddschecker. Decided to go on live help and ask why!

    user1.png16:33:50 Initial Question/Comment: Why are some of your odds on certain markets in England V France game so poor compared to other online bookmakers? Score and win particularly

    system1.png16:33:55 Thanks for contacting Sky Bet Chat. An advisor will be with you shortly........
    system1.png16:34:00 Sky Paul B has joined this session!
    system1.png16:34:00 Connected with Sky Paul B
    system1.png16:34:00 Hi, you're chatting to Sky Paul B, I'll be assisting you today
    agent.png16:34:30 We offer lots of markets, some will be worse some will be better.
    agent.png16:34:43 I don't make them so I can't comment.
    user1.png16:35:04 I appreciate that paul, but on this market, theres not 1 player from the 20 starting whose price is even close to competiton
    agent.png16:36:41 Well we are better on Ben Arfa than Ladbrokes.
    agent.png16:36:46 Same on Malouda
    user1.png16:36:54 Perfect examples are the favourites for each team..Benzema is 9/4 with sky and 4/1 elsewhere! Welbeck 9/2 Sky 7/1 available
    agent.png16:37:11 I understand we are poor on some but just the way we price them I'm afraid.
    user1.png16:37:28 Just thought i'd ask anyway...thanks....9/4 Benzema it is then!
    agent.png16:37:41 Good luck.

    I'm not sure about the online businesses but Stan James in Phibsborough will match your 5 euro bet on first goalscorer, correct score, scorecast etc (match bet stake non-refundable).

    I did a few with them recently. I had a fiver on Germany 1-0 Portugal at 11/2 and got 60 euro back, also I had a fiver on Ibrahimovic at 6/1 for the first goal last night and I will get 65 back for that. They are also the best price on a lot of those markets, they are best price on nearly all first goalscorers tonight in the Russia v Poland game, they are essentially 12/1 on Lewandowski for the first goal tonight.

    Fiver is the maximum though and they will only let you do two bets at a time. Good value though for smaller punters like me.
