    I usually decide on my accum and then go to Oddschecker and see which Bookie the bet will pay the most on - same with horseracing for me actually.

    While Bwin offer markets on a very large number of leagues their odds seem to be fairly poor anytime I check at least for the main leagues.

    Would ye agree with that or am I just looking at a small sample of bad examples?

    Paddy Power. Good bet selection and I like the money back specials. A bit of loyality as well I suppose. I've been with them for years and never had any major problems. Once or twice when there was a problem with the site they sent out a free bet,

    Skybet- Because i think the new app is very good, and i liked the €/£10 sign up bet.

    Why are you banned

    Why are you banned

    Originally arbitrage, got done on paddypower and stanjames for that. Later on I'm not sure, one day I was placing a bet on Ladbrokes and my max stake was 0, minimum 0 too, Boyles won't let me have 5 euro on a bet, Victor banned me after I got on a steamer, BetFred limited me, SportingBet did too. WilliamHill I'm on 10% stakes, there are a few I can bet in, namely:

    Sbobet/Bwin/Coral/Skybet

    But I stick to Sbobet due to them having the best odds, Bwin have crap odds unless its in play and they've limited me to a max win on a market of 500 so meh, Coral took forever to setup, so I'll have some fun with that. SkyBet called foul on one of my bets I placed in India a while back where a side won 5-0 and I had 200 on it so I don't particularly like them. So I generally stick to Sbobet I the asians/over-under bets are what I like in play. If I like a cleanie or win to nil I'll back on Coral.

    No I've a few different usernames, try to mix them up. A lot of bookies won't risk doing such things as they can get in a lot of trouble for doing it I believe.

    Bookies which are owned by the same company will ban you though, Betsson and Betsafe are owned by the same company and I wasn't allowed to place a bet on Betsafe after deposit, instantly banned due to the same email.

    Same thoughts here. Not the most number of markets though, but sbobet often have the best odds, especially with handicap.
