    Tell me about BET365...

    Looks like I have to use a new book for my "pro" membership renewal since it has expired and I've pretty much have accounts already made at majority of the other sponsors or just don't care for some of them.

    Read a few minor complaints about them lately here, they seem mostly legit but limit you fast which is ok with me since I'll be mostly playing at other books. Their Live betting looks good, lines not so much.

    I'm going to be using Insta......Debit for deposits/withdrawals, are they going to hassle me about id/verification or is it going to be nice and easy like Pinnacle?

    I see they have a $200 first time deposit bonus?? I assume 3x rollover? Any other "catch" to it?

    Any comments welcome, will decide tomorrow morning, gotta head to bed.

    Thanks.

    Bet365 and ********** both have strong verification process which is fine and quick
    instadebt uses your govt idea number to instantly verify you

    it should be smooth

    Rollover must be odds above -200. The rollover also includes initial deposit.
    ie - deposit $200 - rollover is $400 x3.

    Lines can be ordinary, but inplay is insane (and addictive.) It is real time inplay, unlike other books that offer inplay between innings/during timeouts etc.

    The biggest gripe I have with them is that they have been known to revise odds down on winning bets from large odds wagers.
    ie - During the recent Netball world cup, New Zealand (world #2) trailed a minnow country by something like 10-5. B365 offered NZ @ $100-1 for the race to 20. A guy on another forum had backed it for $20. He even referred it to a B365 trader and it was approved. After it cashed, he got an email from B365 saying that the odds were an error and after a lot of arguing, offered him something more like $6-1. There was nothing he could do about it. This hasn't happened to me, but another betting forum I am part of has had it happen to a few of the guys.

    extremely incompetent live chat staff but they have seemingly unparalleled live-betting.

    many options for many sports, a nice poker room, live casino, automated round robin parlay options, live streaming video of a lot of events, easy withdraw/deposits with moneybookers, its a really good site and im glad i joined

    and i suppose its a nice gesture that they hire the mentally handicapped special people to man the live-chat.

    Live betting is definitely where they have an edge

    Plenty of live games in all sports at most times of the day.

    +1 for the live streams.
    They were one of the main reasons I opened with them.

    Thanks, do parlays/teasers count towards the rollover or just SU bets?

    Yeah I heard a bit about the "revising" odds. Sounds like they don't like "winners".

    Live betting is available for all cfb/nfl games? That would have been handy the last few days.

    played there years ago, ran into the limiting with no warning, tried to get cute and just kept betting 25 bucks over and over, they voided all but first bet. No issues with payment, did get every penny owed. Just had a decent month and they in their own way told me to hit the road.

    I've lived in America for a short time if that counts.

    Great book for parlay bets as well. They are easily the best book for Canadians. They pound our market with promos all the time.

    I will agree that the c.s is very lacking on their live chat but everything else is 90% of the time great.

    Payments are fast and easy

    Any promos out there right now besides the $200 bonus?

    I guess they pay extra for parlays or something like that right?

    How much traffic does their poker room have? Does that count towards rollover?

    I think Pinnacle is better overall though for Canadians.

    Bet365 isn't a top choice these days because of the new rules.

    Lets see if I can grind out this bonus.

    check out the baseball live-betting. pull up espn play by play and see whos coming up in the order- the team with the worst record will be underdogs to win the next inning (a push is a tie) bet them at the heart of their order.

    I just took Baltimore ML -125 when they are up 5-2 against the Yankees.

    I'm such a sucker already.

    Need to have all theses games live without delays for all these live bets. I rarely watch except the NFL.

    lol you took it about 5 minutes too late probably. hardy, reynolds, markakis and jones batted this last inning,which is why they scored 4 runs. that one looks like a loser there buddy but ya never know.

    espn play by play is pretty live.

    ........................................ ..........

    thats way way way better for you if you took orioles in the third.

    Brutal if you think about it. Almost even line when 5-2.

    Wash was up 4-1 and the line was -700 and now -1000

    It's like they knew the Oriols were going to choke.


    Does live betting count for rollover too? I assume if it's less than -200.

    Kind of nice for hedging, picked France +175 then Serbia was even, have -1 Serbia somewhere else.

    Easy to go broke fast too. lol Instead of losing once on a game, you can lose 10 times.

    Serbia +270 is a good live play now.

    I hate betting basketball but Live is fun, lots of lead changes back and forth.

    You can get + on both sides.

    Yeah - live betting counts.
    I kept playing the revised runline yesterday in the detroit game, all the way out to -14.5.
    All were at least -110, some out to +130. All counted.

    As you said, great for hedging. This morning had Joker -9.5. First set tie break. Played -5.5 after the first break in the second and recovered my initial stake.

    You just gotta be careful, because it is easy to chase and dig yourself a hole.
