I know it has been around for a long time

What is this book all about??

[Pokerjoe]

I'm curious, too. They've been around a long time, I remember being with them at the turn of the century. Nitty, tho, iirc.

Ive used this book for 4 years, only in soccer.

Its pretty much like any other european book in the unibet, Betsson and expekt kind of way. Good soccer odds, 1-3 days waiting for payout, all odds on american sports stolen from other books... What exactly is it that you are looking for?

[brettels]

There australian site is good but they cap bets really low on the good punters.

[mminkovski]

It's a good book....until they limit you

[Slainte]

Very reliable i remember them as one of the first online books i used to play like 10 years ago. They limit pretty quick and don't offer AH, otherwise your money is safe.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Terrible sportsbook. They don't pay either.

[AimingHigh]

They do pay. But they limit like heck, so even a few good bets will get your limits slashed. In my opinion, they're at the rec end of rec books.

[groupama]

Many many years ago. No problem

[kkkkk]

Sportingbet is very solid and one of leading european bookmakers. Never heard of not paying there. Their line are worser then pinnacle and asian bookmakers like 15-17 points juice - 1.83 vs 1.83. Has all possible bets like other european like bet365.com and others. Stable bookmaker but not for professional punters - if you want to win big go to Asian books.

[gangeriver]

most of people had an experience with sportingbet. me too...when I start to betting 10 years ago, firstly I opened a sportingbet account which has a different marketing strategy. sportingbet use different names for each countries.

UK :sportingbet.com
Turkey: superbahis.com
Spain: miapuesta.com

etc...

it offers a lot of livebet opportunities just like bet365 and you can find all of european leagues.
even they offer livebet to Under20 (a kind of amateur league match) matchs. Also it's casino and horse racing market is so popular.I haven't been playing there for 8-9 years...because of the high juice in my country we have an expression "monkey has opened his eyes"

[horja1]

can't remember too much about them from the time I used to bet there (4-5 years ago)...

[leon]

The only sure is that they pay.Not so good odds like b365.

[20Four7]

Never used them.

[jjgold]

ok thanks

Seems like a generic UK traditional book

[LGBoots]

Useless book , limited to around 50p on horses after 2 bets

[Hareeba!]

as most others have said - a typical UK book - sound but severe limiter

did sometimes have good tennis odds when I played there but in the end it became a waste of time

make what you can while you can there

you just need to move on to the next Euro book when you get capped - until you eventually wear out your welcome everywhere and have to wait for the next new book to open up shop

[jjgold]

I guess that is why so many UK books make money, they do a great job filtering out winners
I think IN UK only way to bang them is in the casinos if your lucky enough to win

Yep spot on, they'll limit u as soon as u make more than a few hundred from them. Not been limited yet at Sportingbet but Skybet and paddy have limited me, skybet just sent me an email sayin tht they think im arbing and taking advantage of their top lines!!

I play at the Australian version of Sportingbet, good book for the rec gambler, fast payouts etc.

[sportsbetwin]

Sportingbet Aust is very good.
Rec book but they are solid as.
They are fantastic for ML odds on MLB favorites - This is what I use them for the most (plus some local sport). UK version does not offer same value on MLB.

[Roxxyfish]

yes ,why ?

[jozomir]

Generally speaking, their odds are not the best, but sometimes you can find valuable odds in tennis and that is where I use them mostly.

[Ruifgalmeida]

it was my first bookie , I sometimes play poker there .

[Border Gadgie]

Seem to remember they created a bit of a storm a couple of years ago, by offering reload bonuses on certain sports then not granting them to many hundreds of punters as they were classed as 'non recreational' gamblers. They had multiple complaints sent to the regulator and had to grant many of them.

[qukubau]

there are much better european books, like eurobet, labbrokes etc....

[jjgold]

I can always count on out strong Euro contingent here

[horja1]

there are much better european books, like eurobet, labbrokes etc....

I have to disagree with you ... just opend an Eurobet acount and it took them 3 weeks to respond to my first email and 1 more week to finally give some answers to my questions ... one of the worst CS ever.

[jjgold]

Eurobet bet is a part of Coral "Gala Coral Group" Europe’s biggest betting firm announces big financial loss for last year despite good sales figures.

Gala Coral in Huge 2010 Loss

The Gala Coral Group is made up of over 140 bingo halls, 26 casinos, online bingo and betting sites and the Coral bookmakers outlets. The recently released financial results – the first since a major restructuring has started to take effect– show a massive £188 million loss.

Sales for the company up to the end of September 2010 were an impressive £1.2bn but restructuring costs and the revaluation of assets led to the net operating profit being a rather less staggering £105m. This was despite HM Revenue & Customs giving a £70m cashback on overpaid VAT. This profit was then lost due to interest charges of over £300m, giving a financial result of a whopping £188 million in the red, although that is still better last year’s £495 loss.

The firm has over 1 million active bingo members and their bingo halls see around 600,00 players enter them every single week, as well as the huge popularity of their online bingo sites. Despite all of these apparent financial woes, which have mainly being caused by the betting firm’s ongoing attempts at restructuring its huge operations, the Gala Coral Group is still regarded as one of the favourites to buy out the state owned Tote operations, which would see it rival William Hill and Ladbrokes in having around 2,000 high street betting outlets. The results of the bidding process for Tote are due to be announced in March of this year.

Sportingbet
Net gaming revenue for 2010 grew 27 percent to 207.5 million pounds.


Austria’s bwin Interactive Entertainment AG has reported a 15 per cent increase in gross gaming revenues to €514.5m for the year ended December 31st 2010.
