I noticed it now with delay.

Definitelly good decision!

[ttmopp]

Agreed. I would give them a B easily. One of my favourite books.

Any issue that comes up, they are willing to work with SBR to resolve, plus as evident from this thread they have some players who really enjoy playing with them.

Most of the European punters I talk with all are very high on Expekt. I've always been hesitant because of its rating here.

[Stumpage]

It was a little strange the first time I played at their book. I had no idea that they "accept" a portion of your wager, usually a very small percentage, then inform you later whether the whole amount of your risk has been accepted, or whether some has been rejected and returned to your account. Apparently, this is a common practice, but the first I'd ever seen of it. Guess I should of read the rules a bit more carefully...I like this book. With such a large vig (usually), I wouldn't expect to find much value, but from time to time there are some real goldmines here.

Expekt are a good book,but for those who bet tennis beware they are very sharp with retirements.

Expekt (SBR rating C): Two players complain that the sportsbook changes the wagered amount as they see fit. No information was sent to the player about the altered bets.

Player: I placed a bet with Expekt, the bet was for £55. I placed the bet and then went to ’pending bets’. It said the bet had been accepted for £55. I then logged into my expekt account the next day and saw that they had rejected £32 of the bet stake. They had done with only about 25 minutes left before the actually bet started.
