    Don't have much experience with US sports or golf but what's wrong with tennis at UK books ? Some of them did limit me severely but that's got nothing to do with specific sport.

    Do agree there when we're talking long term, but there's nothing wrong with taking the best price on the market once in a while.

    Problem is, they're only going to be the best when they're way out of line. Hit just a few of those, and their software will notice, you get flagged, and limited.

    Sportingbet Australia consistently has favorites in MLB (and to a lesser extent NHL) at superior odds to any book anywhere.

    if your saying this as just for an OddS reason then its a very misleading thread title, sure the majority of the time but not always. So why not if the value is there?

    Haha, well what you don't bet is their plentiful heavy juiced lines?
    What you can do is make a few bets on soft lines, get limited, go thru the hassle of holding your ID next to your face for them, and realize UK books all suck.

    Bleeth is right. -115 on NBA half is pretty bad at some of those UK books but then the line will move a full point and UK shop like Stan James wont change it and your price becomes decent

    Pinny follows SBO very closely on soccer markets..that's all you need to know about how big SBO is.

    You won't last long at 12Bet with reasonable limits if you demonstrate that you know how to win.

    I am trying to figure out why anyone would play at any book in Europe or Asia other than Pinnacle, Betfair and SBOBET
    It seems those are only books with basically no restrictions for 98% of gamblers

    Quite simply because you can find the best odds on offer with them at times and make some good money before they limit you to the not-worth-it-anymore stage.

    Take what you can while the good times last.
