    Ive had enough with them. I stopped using them online because they are just a disgrace, i just went over to one of their shops to put money on Fabio Borini to score the first goal in the match today and they didnt even have him listed.

    You dodged a bullet there, you should be happy. Plenty of other good online options anyway - Ladbrokes, Williamhill, bet365.

    Betfair. You wont regret it. At least do it for the sign up bonus

    Bet365 and betfair are my main sites, but the others offer decent markets but odds usually arent as good as bet365

    everywhere I have bet always have a "others on request" stated, you should have asked at the counter and got them to phone headquarters to get you the odds

    Ladbrokes is the worst bookie to ever exist. Their prices are almost always the worst available, I don't know why anyone would bet with them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,841 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    bet365 and betfair
    i've tried them all

    ladbrokes useless as are boyles
    paddy stingy but have good cashback offers from time to time

    Whats the store with the 5 team accum that paddy power were doing for the last two weeks, it said if one team lose, you get your money back. Does this take longer than normal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    I had a 5 team accum with 5 English teams and Hull were the only one let me down, so I presume I'll be getting my money back at some stage.

    I'm sure they'll miss you! :-)

    My advice to anyone who has a problem with people like Paddy Power would be to work hard at taking money off of them.

    You come across worse here. Sounds like he just misunderstood at the start. Your grammar isn't the best. As soon as he realised what the story was, he sorted it out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭counterlock


    I logged in late last night to have a look how my NFL bets were going, I saw a 5 euro free bet and thought I'd hang onto it till this morning. Logged in this morning and it was gone. I spoke with a guy on chat and he said that it had expired.

    Any decent alternatives out there? I've used boylesports before and found them to be much worse when it comes odds


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    I have accounts with betfair, WillHill, betfred, bet365 and paddy. The best of them is betfair. 365 is good as well

    I've noticed that, pretty annoying as I usually like to cover using double chance with about 10 to go
