    Looking to change from pp. Who would everyone recommend? Anyone doing good promotions for new customers. 365 seem to be the best option

    If you don't have Bet365 account already definitely go with them and take advantage of their €200 signup bonus.



    I contacted Paddy Power this morning to request odds on 'BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals' for the Man Utd v Everton game.

    PP: 2.04
    WH: 2.38
    SJ: 2.40
    Coral: 2.40

    I don't know if they are taking me for a fool or they are so good at marketing that they get all novice bettors who don't realise the importance of shopping around and can get away with offering terrible odds.

    I have no idea how Paddy Power are so successful, terrible odds, in-play betting is nearly unusable and very slowly to payout.

    Look at their marketing. They're marketing department all deserve bonuses. They have the funniest social media accounts compared to any other betting sites. They post a lot funnier stuff than the likes of the lad bible and pages like that which are set up specifically to be funny. Powers rarely mention betting or odds on Facebook. Marketing is why they are the most popular bookies and no other reason.

    Open 5 or 6 accounts at least.

    Keep your bankroll in a PayPal account.

    Deposit with whichever bookmaker offers you the best odds for each bet.

    Withdraw your funds back to your PayPal account when the bet is settled.

    Rinse and repeat.

    You should not have any loyalty to any bookmaker - their entire reason for existence is to take your money.

    PayPal is free to use for this.

    I follow most of their marketing campaigns. They know their target market so well that they should use them as case studies in university.

    I have tried to explain why they are bad to many people before and their eyes just glaze over as they don't care, they will lose their money anyway, so I don't bother anymore, just decided to have a rant when I see them offer me odds that are so far below their competitors that it has to be some sort of late April fools joke.

    Yeah, I might do this. At least that way I can claim the first bet offers with each bookmaker.

    see an awful lot of bets tomorrow I like

    villa 5/6/-1 23/10 maybe villa 2-0 8/1 (won 5 of last 6 by this score)
    seems a great price for a team in great form, qpr were piss poor v derby

    leic -1 29/20 if you can beat pool and sevilla by two then at home to sunder it shouldnt be a prob

    burnley 6/4 have beaten nearly all the sides at home bar the top teams

    Almost perfect
