Chucky the tree · 06-07-2006 8:14pm #1

So what are the ones everyone uses?

i am still old school and stroll down to the local bookies(paddypower) since i dont have a c/c(fixed in the next few days) so i cant recommend online ones.

However the best i have come across from checking odds have been..

www.betfair.co.uk
www.paddypower.ie

Betfair has the best odds, but the layout is shocking. I hate it. Paddypower's odds arent as good but its so much easier to use.

Cant say i have tried any other ones. They any use?

wb · 06-07-2006 8:23pm

I almost always use betfair because of the value. I place the odd multiple bet with Victor Chandler, and they pay any (ocasional) winnings into my bank very promptly. I don't like ladcrooks. They don't have much regarding specials, and dont payout e/w on 5th at some of the big meetings, where paddypower often do.

Royale · 06-07-2006 8:27pm

yeah betfair rock exept for the minimum of ten euro deposit, and moreso the min 4 euro bet,
but maybee that's just me being a cheapskate!
I have such a tendencie at times.

Just getting into the new muse album now, seems good.

Check out the 'Betfair Explained' Sticky in the Horse racing forum to get around the €4 minimum.

http://www.overbrokes.co.uk/menu.htm A good site for figuring out if you can screw the bookies or at least fiddle the betting exchanges properly.

www.footballox.com seems to be coming along nicely, and it is due a major relaunch for the new English/European season as well. Seems to be a fair bit of scope for expansion as well.

I use odds-checker and OLBG as well, the imaginary money game on OLBG is a bit of craic, when you've had a big loss in real life you can always fritter away 3 grand on it.

Have to admit my jaw dropped when someone mentioned the navigation on betfair being hard to use. On the left, "All Markets", "Soccer - Fixtures", "Soccer Fixtures - [Date]" is the by far the best way of navigating different markets that I have seen on any website, and that goes for other sports too. Once you get seriously into betfair, the likes of Paddy Powers' site begin to look amateurish.

www.Betbrain.com shows a far wider range of bookies odds and has links to far more bookies - generally the exchanges still offer best value, and betfair has best liquidity. When it comes to bookies I reckon between 15 -20 accounts is sufficient to ensure you always get the best price - when it comes to favourite bookmaker - I have no such thing I just use the one offering the best price and always withdraw winnings after the event. I tend to avoid some of the new names appearing on the internet and offering very generours prices (Luvbet experience) and also avoid any who charge for withdrawals (Gamebookers do this after the first withdrawal each month.

wantToScore · 03-09-2006 6:43pm

i use www.sportsinteraction.com a good range of sports, good layout and simple to use - my payouts have been swift!(which is important)
They also offer excellent odds for the NFL which is only a week away....

westtip · 26-09-2006 10:15am

oddschecker.com is one of the leading odds comparison sites, they have put a very handy new tool on the site, effectively you can select a number of matches, select your result (win win or draw) in a number of matches and when you press to view odds - it not only gives you a cross comparison table showing the best odds by bookmaker/xchg individually but also shows you the best multiple odds for an acca with each bookmaker on those selectons: eg say you select three matches at 1.33, 1.20, 1.25 the same matches are 1.38, 1.22, 1.22 obviously if you are doing singles you pick out best prices for each bookmaker - the two trebles come out at 1.91 with bookie 1 and 2.05 with bookie 2. The great thing about this tool is that it does it for you straight away. In the case of this treble you ar getting 0.015 extra on your odds with bookie 2, may not seem much but it adds up over time Worth looking at - over a season it could make a difference of 4 or 5 points profit for very little effort, the example I have shown gives an extra 1.5% on your turnover for this bet.

www.goonersguide.com - good game previews from experienced bettors plus a v good forum that even has a gaa thread!

Gambling is for mugs.

The odds of winning are minute.

Online poker is the worst rip off going

My advice is stay out of the bookies as you have nothing to gain.

I'd have to echo those sentiments Bateman..Betfair is in a different league to your run of the mill betting sites..Possibly some people can find it quite daunting initially, but one you master the basics it's a superb site for sports gambling.

Yeah its probably the best considering what web technology can offer right now (HTML and AJAX). Though I find it a bit off-putting that they seem to have whole 'football' and 'horseracing' sections where they try and make things easier - but only manage slow things down.

The problem with Betfair is that I'd say 90% of markets on there aren't liquid enough to have a proper bet. You could spend five minutes navigating to a specific market only to find that theres about 8 quid in unmatched bets!

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, YOU CANT NOT WALK INTO A BOOKIES/BET ONLINE AND BET 10 WINNERS IN A ROW, IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO SPENDS HOURS UPON HOURS BETTING IN ALMOST EVERY RACES YOU WILL END UP BROKE!

ONLY WAY YOU HAVE A CHANCE IS IF YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF(OR INSIDE INFO) AND YOU PLACE THE ODD BET, CHANCES ARE YOU LL BEAT THE BOOKIE! BUT AS SOON AS THEY SEE YOU HAVE A GOOD STRIKE RATE, YOU LL GET THE RED CARD OFF THEM!

I GOT A NICE BET UP ONE DAY, VERY LUCKY I MUST SAY, WHEN I WENT TO COLLECT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE LAYING ME ANY MORE!

BOOKIES DO NOT GIVE YOU A CHANCE!

dinneenp · 09-07-2008 4:16pm

www.bettingzone.co.uk is a great site for tips. Very simple, uncluttered and even a medal rating system.

Goto the main page and just click on any of the articles, then scroll down and on the RIGHT HAND SIDE they have today's bets. Each bet is weighted (1pt, 2 pts etc.) and for top bets they have gold, silver and bronze medal. (see attachament)

I only bet on bronze, silver or any bets that have weight of 5 or higher.

berliner · 09-07-2008 4:28pm

I did a bit of research on Ladbrokes online blackjack game.Every hand i played i wrote down the result and at the end of the week i could see the pattern.I won 30% of the time.Needless to say I lost money.

okidoki987 · 09-09-2008 1:32pm

always layed there bets off on betdaq

He must have only being laying off a FIVER as the liquidity on betdaq is....
easier to say they don't have any compared to betfair and most of their
odds are worse.
I discovered this to my cost once trying to back a horse and decided to try betdaq who were slightly better commisiion rate.
Only got €25 matched and the balance even though Betfair odds were higher never got matched.
Horse won and I've never use them since.

I like playing poker online but havent actually put any money up yet. I play for points to enter tournaments on Pureplay. I also do Rehab bingo and I won a grand last night. That would be rare though.

Bullet1001 · 20-02-2009 3:46pm

I use this site to pick potential winners/top ten finishers in US and European golf tournaments:

http://www.golfpredictor.com

It's got loads of stats, charts and ranking for the entire field and all the results/stats since 2003. I've roughly doubled my money since I started using it, although I could do with another winner now.

It's cheap for the service it provides and you can have a look at a subset of the data for free. It is run by a small Irish company by the looks of it, so support local jobs in these troubled times!!

whitneysegura · 22-02-2009 4:04pm

Wow, I didn't know that there were actual gambling sites. I mean ive heard of it but I did not think they actually existed.

lilywhites1982 · 01-05-2009 2:08pm

Not sure if any of you guys have seen Boylesports new betting news site. I've been following it for the last few weeks and it seems to be pretty good with odds and all. Something similiar to Betfair but because I bet with Boylesports it's more of use to me.

Check it out: www.bettingnews.boylesports.com

Another good betting site that I'm always on is Bettor Logic. if you haven't used it then you will, as it is brilliant for stats on Premiership games. Gives a preview and a betting suggestion on a variety of sports events.

They're doing a buy one get one free thing as well. If you bet on big events they'll give you a Free £5 bet. You do use it on the Lions game this weekend and the Mens Wimbledon Final not on the womens final though for some reason:mad:

Instead of starting a new thread and facing a backlash,said I'd post here,has anyone else got a Ladbrokes OddsOn Card? Just want to know what the advamtages of it are plus maybe any disadvantages. I have one but havent used it yet,tried to register it online but it wont let me.Am I right in thinking that you get a free fiver bet for every day of a major meet? My bro tried for Galway but it wasnt classed as a major meet apparently

I think most of the online bookies offer free bets to join, its worth hoping around for the free bets,,,,

matthews08 · 07-09-2009 4:20pm

It all depends on what you want to bet on. A lot of bookies are now offering best odds guaranteed on horse racing so it's worth getting an account with one that offers that if you're into the horses. Boylesports usually do a decent cashback for football but they're not on all that often, while Paddy Power seems to do them more often but they're normally only cashbacks on certain markets. Ladbrokes prices are usually pretty good too.

Both. Betfair is streets ahead but to be honest it's so easy to deposit/withdraw on laser these days that it often pays to have accounts at a number of sites. Especially if your looking to get a double/treble on.
