Bottom line is every sbr american poster would be there as their number 1 book if allowed
As I've said before that is simply not necessarily so at Bet365 for some mysterious reason as I know of one person and as some posters here have said they do allow some decent sized winners to keep playing without being limited, at least for a significant number of years.
The burning question is, what is their real criteria?
Do not bet with 365...they lure many with there bonuses and betting limits..start winning and see what happens!!Double jj... if u really look after the people you wouldn't promote that website.
Why wouldn't you bet there, take a bonus and play as long as they let you, you have nothing to lose (except your bets of course, but that part is up to your skill) 'cause Bet365 is a rock solid payer. In the end you gotta recommend this bookie to anyone who wants to make a 5 bucks bets.
Hareeba I might go in partners with you

BET365 is a gem
Am I going mad or did some posts vanish/deleted? I swear I posted something about having a beer or perhaps I'm just going mad.
Anyway, pinny, last time I used them was 4 months ago, hardly look there, they don't suit what I do. I'm sure they have strengths in some areas but for what I do they are not useful and not a touch on b365. I.e. in the last 10 minutes I have £6k in arbs (4k with b365) and 6k on otherside, nicking me 13 pips (the arb is stiull there but I'm not taking the piss and other books have come in). My net exposure with b365 is about £800. Then straight afterwards I received this:

they were more than happy to take my 4k bet which lost :D
but still, they are more than solid book and your money there is safe, they won't scam you
I haven't had a losing week in over a year & it's pretty much the only place I play at.
euro sites are so well put together
great programming
Bet365 is at the moment probably the best sportsbook in the world, overall.
It is still owned by Coates family and they intend to keep it.
In live betting area there is simply no one even close. Solid odds, very high limits, live streams, best console in the world of live betting, wide range of sports offered, biggest number of matches offered, most options for betting (deep market) and so on.
Customer service is excellent (at the moment I am waiting more than half an hour for Paddy Power live support) withdrawals are fast, money is safe with them, nothing to complain here.
They are Euro book, so yes, they can't compete with their odds with Pinnacle, 5dimes and Asian books, but they aren't so far away, actually their average payout for most sports is probably in top 2-3 books besides those I mentioned, especially for soccer, odds for US sports are not so good.
Actually they are not having weak points and if someone would have to stick at just one book, I don't see better choice than Bet365.
Don't know why they are rated A- here. I thought maybe because this is US forum primary (than I would understand) but than I see that Will Hill is A and simply can't justify that .
Okay, I can understand that the lesser sports/leagues don't attract a lot of volume at Betfair but I find there's plenty of volume for a whole lot more than just major soccer leagues and tennis. Racing and Cricket is massive, Golf, Formula1, AFL and NRL for example have excellent volumes too.
Well, maybe I should have said for average bettor from Europe. I can understand that for US sports and players that aren't playing live they are not good enough, but overall I think that no one can mach them, especially Betfair. Live betting is huge advantage, very low volume on many european sports at Betfair etc.
However Betfair is in huge advantage as they don't limit players and if you look at the things from that way than you could get different conclusion, but as far as I know there are hundreds of books that will limit you much quicker than Bet365, especially if you know how to play there and stay under the radar for some time.
I can only say that I am betting on internet for more than 7 years online and have accounts at more than 50 sportsbooks but I don't know have I putt more than few bets on Betfair. I think that this says enough, but again maybe this is the case because style of the play, for some punters some sportsbooks just don't match to their style of the play.
B365 are very often nowhere as near as competitive as bf on odds for most general sports, but for some areas they are. Equally I am pretty sure US books are more competitive on their sports (big volume with limited offers), but then again you would expect this. Most Europeans don't bet so much on US sports, just as you wouldn't expect people from the US to bet on cricket. US betting is in the dark ages compared to how we use exchanges and if and when exchanges really open up in the US Americans will have a big learning curve for 6 months. For us using bf is more like trading the stock market than traditional betting.
All this to say that it's hard to cover all these bases and markets and IMO b365 are probably the best in what they do overall, but certainly there are others that have an edge in specialist markets.
Well, yes I can understand that punters have different preferences for what they bet on but with the extensive range on offer at Betfair it seems strange that they wouldn't fill yours and others' wishes to a greater extent. What does Bet$3.65 offer you which you can't get at Betfair and how much will they let you bet?
Lets stop the bull shit about exchange betting in the usa
It was offered for years and all places went bankrupt
Matchbook should no growth when offered for usa players
Their is very little market for it other than arbers
USA gambler are not into exchanges and never will be
Euro gambler is a different breed all together
Bet365 is pretty competitive for usa sports vs all other Euro books
Betfair has much more volume than you think on NBA and NFL specifically TV games
Bet365 had a price up for almost any sport and any league i ever wanted to bet on (frankly the prices are not always great), and you can bet at least mid to high 3 digits on almost all of them (and at Betfair i can take also a few hundreds, but to often only @1.01 'cause the real price is not even formed) . To answer your question what can i get at bet365 and can't at Betfair ? Nothing, 'cause i'm limited to 6 EUR max. winnings pre match on most sports i bet (live is a little better 24 EUR max. winnings) . :laugh:
Bet Fair not have enough in the pools to bet many events vs bet365
I would say as far as betting markets oiffered and which place you can bet more per event Bet365 clips them like 70% of the events
Big Soccer Leagues, Horses, Tennis are of course where Betfair will beat bet365 as far as which place you can get most money down
Ok fair point Hareeba
