    888sport.com

    Decent site, CS are polite but I'm very unhappy with their football odds for MATCH betting. I want to bet on Bolivia to beat Costa Rica but 888Sport are only offering EVENS, there is a much better price of 2.21+ out there. Yesterday was the same for match betting.

    They seem to offer better prices on props than anything else though. Yesterday, I got a price of EVENS on Argentina to keep a clean sheet against Colombia.

    What do you guys think of 888sport for soccer?

    Solid book but for recreational players only. You'll find better odds in the pro books.

    You pretty much nailed it, they will sometimes have best price on stuff like clean sheet, first goalscorer, to score anytime etc, though I suspect that's because they're slow updating those markets so will lead to you being limited faster.

    Right guys, 888sports are really messing up here. They told me, if I bet 20 Euro, I would receive a 20 Euro bet so I did and received my free bet. Thats ok. So I placed another 20 euro bet on the copa america. I receive another 20 euro free bet. I place a 5 euro bet on a scorecast. I receive a 5 euro free bet. I placed a another 20 bet, I've received another 20 euro free bet!

    Bear in mind, I haven't used a free bet at all. I've just been betting my winnings and getting more free bets! HAHAHHAHAHA. What should I do?

    If you use more than one freebet, you will risk that they cancel your bets. Ask the cs or use only one freebet. You can try to use every freebet, but I am pretty sure you will get trouble with your next payout.

    I have seen that 888sport has a Copa America promotion. If you lose your bet because a goal is scored after the 88th min, you will get a freebet of the amount of your lost bet up to 50 EUR. Perhaps this is the reason for your freebets.

    Stefan I think they have this promotion on a lot of football matches at 888 most of the time. Certainly they have it on all Premier league games. Edit: I just saw that has nothing to do with what you posted so please ignore.

    Good bookie. Great odds on some sports but extremely fast limits.

    I wouldn't say that it's an amateur site. But what they have to improve is their online help and their cs, they don't have a livechat.

    I would say this is more a site for Poker and Casino. But they pay fair.
