I played there for a while last year when the went online.

Book is ok, limits are shit.

You used to be able to circumvent straight wager limits by parlaying the rogue numbers which they had - parlay limits were higher. They eventually cut my limits on those too and I just left.

They paid me each and every time without a hitch but I havent been back since.

betfred are fine. The guy (Fred Done) was a bricks and mortar place until a year or two ago and now he has "re-branded" from Done Bookmakers to BetFred and gone on line.

They offer to double your winnings on 1st bet in a match, with 3 or more results, up to 100 GBP ( about $175). I think minimum deposit is $50 USD.

Here's how I'll do it... send them $60 NT, and play one end of a soccer match ( Team A, Team B, or draw), whichever is like +300 ( 4.00 decimal style), and live with result knowing I have an overlay on that bet, you could scalp out, but I'll just chance it. If it wins my $60 wins $180, they toss in $175 more, I think you can then withdraw the $415, but I'd play a bit more than that.

They have high juice, but just today I saw an NHL ML that was about 10-cents higher than Pinny.

I'd play with them if they don't mind action from sharper players, when they have the good line, reputation seems there, some lines better than Pinny ,even with high vig, even on soccer !

I doubt they have many USA clients, but they are set up for it. I am going to fund my account, make the soccer bet, no rush. I'll play after that , if they want my action, and have the best line.

[natrass]

Doug , they might not accept US players. But, yes, very clever to go for the high winnings rather than the high deposit. that is good.

[Doug]

They accept USA players, just might not like USA winners ! You'd have to wait these guys out for a good line, juice is horrible, so you have to pick spots... deposit minimum is $50, max bonus is $175, so you need a +300 to work this particular bonus, I suggest soccer, but you could do boxing, just remember you need a 3-way line.

Thanks, this was a big help

Fred's vig is pretty sick ! From today's NHL they have splits of:

-163/ +125
-500/ +350
-350/ +250

They still had NYR +100, to Pinny's -101

You'd definetly only find a few bets there, but they might be slow to adjust to news that changes a line.

Looks like a good bonus hit, not sure what makes one stay there, though.

That's why I will never play there.
