    Bet365 A-rated?
    You kidding me right?

    They have a like 90-93% payout. That says it all.

    I am starting more and more to ignore the ratingsystem.

      If you wager on all results equally, that is how much you get back. Or the commission if you like it.

      Pinnacle pays out around 98%

        If a book pays out cleanly, deals with disputes fairly, and is trustworthy overall, then an A can be warranted even if the vig is a bit heavy. Remember, the player always has the advantage of not playing.

          ladbrokes is even worse at vig... and probably deserves A, like Eurobet, where many bets are possible to bet in parlays only
          but i can not confirm that B365 "deals with disputes fairly, and is trustworthy overall"

            I cannot confirm that Bet365 isn't a "Loser's only" book, also known as a "recreational" book, nor can I confirm it deals with players fairly, or that it pays efficiently. I was merely speaking in the abstract that vig does not define ratings.

                Most bookies D+ are paying rather quick etc like parbet, expekt etc.

                An A-book should include all, fast payment, low vig etc etc. That is the whole idea for me. I much rather have a bookie taking half the commission and take a few extra days paying out then a bookie with high commission that pays out really fast (like b365). Not even close to pick the high vig.

                  yes... that is your opinion... but B365 has often best possible odd from whole market... that is important for me

                  anyways, they do not deserve good rating, because of what they did with the live bet AND because they hate winners more than I hate NEP

                    Be aware of bet365 they might do to you what the did to me http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...tml#post197818

                    Also i heard many players betting with them live that instead of betting on the handicap they see the handicap changes by the time the bet is confirmed and they bet without them wanting to bet on the new odds. Also they changed their rules about european basketball and some others without even notifying their customer. I believe it should be a C rated bookie.....

                      Expekt is good, but Parbet has gone some days ago. It is a Pokersite now.

                        I agree. What they do in their live betting section is cheating.

                          Bet365 is a B book at best, I think also without usa players they will be a C down the road.

                            Was not noticed (i think) about the change by them but found out about the site somewhere and noticed that everything except the logo is the same and tried to login and it worked fine.

                              My Bowmans became Bet365. I haven't experienced anything unusual. If I do, I'll post back. I usually only place wagers with them when I like their number better. I've got some -105 with them when other books are offering the same number -110, so it's proven handy on occasion.

                                But strange that nobody got noticed, isn't it?
