UK Book Rankings

[shaunovery]

Bet365 is number 1 for in play betting

[davidchong]

why?.

lol
you have a lot to learn if you believe that

[vitalyo]

William Hill they just introduced self-service betting terminals/self-service machines.
Also you can wager online then Print a voucher and cash at the nearest shop.
Way to go !!!

[Chopsticks]

I don't see anyone taking #1 and #2 other than betfair and bet365.

[Squirrel]

Whats with people comparing UK books to offshore books just based on odds alone - UK books offer a million more markets than offshore AND you are absolutely guaranteed to get paid and protected by gambling law.

If any of the big offshores decided to shut down and piss off you'd all lose money without any hope of getting it back.

[peterd78]

UK books much better for recreational bettors, much more markets, easier to navigate, in running etc. but they do limit very quick and don't offer great odds

[Hareeba!]

why?.

I can only suspect that you haven't experienced Betfair, Pinnacle, Matchbook, and SBO if you think Bet$3.65 is all you need.

I like to bet more than $3.65 on occasions and always at the best odds

[jjgold]

It seems with UK books if you have 2 or 3 you have them all

Most very similar

[Automat]

would these shops limit u as well if u keep winning???..lols

[jjgold]

all shops limit you period if you keep winning

if they did not it would be and booking practices

[flyingillini]

Brock it takes lots of work and banks accounts all over the world

Brock its not for you

I am very happy with my UK accounts, Brock you need to have some disposable coin to do this. Christ is with you and in your heart.

[rumple]

Who cares, I only worry about American books.

[jjgold]

The most extensive uk book is definitely BET365, it is the 5 Dimes of USA but much more sophisticated and much better software.

[coutman]

betfair is #1 for me

[jjgold]

Betfair is no doubt a top UK book but does lack the traditional wagering options

[davidchong]

i use betfair....
$3.65 ?.. i bet from $20 to $500 at bet365....

betfair not more than $100....

Pinnacle and Matchbook are incomplete books, they dont offer horses.
What is the SBO book?

I can only suspect that you haven't experienced Betfair, Pinnacle, Matchbook, and SBO if you think Bet$3.65 is all you need.

I like to bet more than $3.65 on occasions and always at the best odds

[davidchong]

The only book that i am limited is 5dimes a bodog from 12 bookss...

i like the 5dimes softwar.

sbobet is solid enough
they have an entire section called the horsebook or something..lol
check it out to see whether it will meet ur requirement anot..
but they dun have good bonuses , of all the asian books , 12 bet offer the best bonuses but also limit the fastest

[davidchong]

RAce 10, Churchill, Breeders Cup Turf.

I got comments from my partner (Jockey ride on this race), the main horse to beat is the No. 8 (Dangerous Midge) at 12-1 morning line... GL in this info... There are three invader horses and the only one that looks pretty is the 8... he will maybe get second or third (of course try to win also). But the 8 is hard to beat!!.

Ladbrokes and Will Hill are huge establishments in the UK, Will Hill been running almost for a century Ladbrokes well over, both have over 15K staff and are reliable.

Paddy and 365 are new in the game and can't match the top 3's limits and Sportingbet has many more soccer leagues than 365 but its software can't match.

[brettels]

as an outsider, neither from the uk or america, i would say that bet365 is the best online sportsbook in the world.....another great SB from the uk(i think) is william hill and bodog

[jw]

I'd probably have Stan James in there somewhere too ...

betfair not more than $100....

What is the SBO book?

well on several options I'm limited to less than $3.65 at 365

Betfair not more than $100 ??????????

there is no complete book anywhere
none offer everything
you need to have enough books to cover what you are interested in betting on

[king]

Couple of years ago I remember Will Hill and Ladbrokes were the top two. Always wanted to play with them but they won't accept us players. I heard all the good things about them.

Ok solid rankings there, I just do not think Ladrbokes and Paddy have extensive USA Live In running but again that is not the uk business. As far as live in running with soccer/tennis most have the same games because hooked into same score feeds for those live in running bets.

[chachi]

Let me give a different perspective, given I lived in the UK for > 10yrs and am still living within the EU and still have my account. Must say that the lack of inclusion of Coral/Eurobet and Tote is glaring though ...

1. Betfair
2. Bet365
3. Ladbrokes
4. Coral / Eurobet
5. William Hill
6. Totesport
7. Paddypower
8. Victor Chandler
9. Betfred
10. Betchronicle (all mkts are Betdaq minus a couple of pips )

A few other euro books also meriting inclusion IMO in no particular order:

Bet24, Expekt, Betclic

Books worth having in your arsenal for occasionally VG odds:

Admiral, Betinternet, Partybets, Sjbet.at

Asians/offshores I find useful on a daily basis:

12bet, 188bet, SBObet, Pinnacle

Also have Greek and Luxbet but moreso for occasional / larger ticket size use

[BigSpoon]

Pretty good list, although I would add BlueSQ/888Sport, Unibet, bet-at-home, and bwin as well.

UK/Euro books are all great until you eventually get limited like I am.

[Border Gadgie]

Boylesports is another Irish/UK book that is decent but can also limit quickly.

[jjgold]

Betchronicle way too many clicks to make a bet

If you compare most of these mentioned they are all similar in all spects

Betfair and Betdaq are different

[thespeculator]

do these books cut limits for the online plays, or can you walk into a ladbrokes or will hill and make a wager greater than they will allow , if they are located all over the country , it would be pretty hard to stop someone

[jjgold]

The asian books are very good and very safe

12bet.com is by far the best Asian book

Man when you look at these books and then go back to an American type book they are ancient

[Raven66]

But there are no Asian books that have ratings....how do we know if they are really safe? how do we really know they actually pay.

[jjgold]

Well Asian books sponsor Premiere League football teams so they must be legit
