You can click on the bookmakers to see their average payout.
I use betfair, betsson, betsafe, bet365, pinnacle sports, Bet24, unibet.
Imo, you should not only get one, but several so you always can get some of the best odds on the market.
It means a lot after a year.

I would personally recommend Pinnacle Sports who always offer some of the best odds.
Bet365 is also very usefull, they cover most leagues and have great livebetting opportunities.

[simon2012]

ty ggg,im leaning towards pinnacle,but just wanted some opnions,do they do livebetting? and do they open lines early

[GGG]

For livebetting I would definitely go for 188bet or bet365.
It's really different how fast they open up for bets, I think it depends on the leagues etc.
Bet365 is pretty early with their lines.

[GGG]

Which leagues are you going to be focusing on?

[simon2012]

mostly the main euro leagues,,english,french,italy,spain...bu t im not sure bet365 does much north american sports as i still want bet them,thanks for helping

[GGG]

Bet365 got plenty of American sports.
They got College Basketball, College Football, NFL, NBA, NHL.

Most bookies cover the main euro leagues so that shouldnt be a problem.
In your case, if you can afford it. I would go with Bet365 and Pinnacle Sports.

Pinnacle Sports beats Bet365 with their odds. But the options are kinda limited.
Bet365 are great with their wide market and their livebetting options.


Bet365 have a standard 100% sign up bonus if you're interested in that.

[TheSportsAnalyst]

I agree with GGG: Pinnacle probably is the best bookmaker in the world. Fast payments, limits extremely high, never had problems with them.
But Bet365 had a coverage on live and a variety of leagues extraordinary. Plus they have many match in live streaming every day.

[simon2012]

i never understood the 100% sigh up bonus,how that work thanks

[GGG]

You get a 100% on your deposit up to (I think) 250 dollar.

Example: If you deposit 250 dollar you get another 250 dollar (free) so you got a total of 500 dollar.
You won't be able to withdraw any money untill you've played for a certain amount of cash. I can't remember how much it is you have to play for but I'm sure you can read it somewhere on the website.

[simon2012]

ty il check it up now
just checked out bet365, i love the easy way around the site plus the option to view games and livebetting, one final question....if you 2 had option which one is best to go with

Between Pinnacle Sports and Bet365?

There's no doubt Pinnacle got the best odds between those 2. (Pinnacle: 97.57%, Bet365 92.69%)
But you could go for Bet365 and take the sign up bonus. After you've played your bonus money free for withdrawl you could withdraw half of your Bet365 cash and put them in Pinnacle Sports.
It really depends on how much money you're planning to be betting for.
If you're going with tons of cash go for Pinnacle Sports but if you're starting out small I would definetly take advantage of the 100% sign up bonus.

[Hareeba!]

The best soccer books are definitely SBO, 188, Pinnacle and Betfair
For live Betfair.
Don't rely on just one book - use all 4 of those to take advantage of the best odds available.
Bet$3.65 may seem good but will limit you to peanuts quickly if you show any talent.

[GGG]

Bet365 is fine. I haven't been hit by limits and my ROI at them is at 121.3% after 2 years.
From what I've heard it's pretty random who gets limitted or not.

It's not my primary bookmaker though, so if you bet heavily on them I don't know if they're gonna limit you or not.
But I doubt they're gonna limit you while you're trying to play your bonus free so you shouldn't be worried about that.

[simon2012]

ok now i confused sorry guys............was on bet365 looking at the odds so i picked a game and odds to win where posted 4/1 so if i had of put $5 down i was only going get back winning $15....shud it not be $20 and my $5 back,that how my sportsbook does it now

What's your typical stake amount?

[simon2012]

1 unit which is $25 for me

hmmm, okay, looks like you're flying under their radar

[FourLengthsClear]

SBOBet, Betfair and Pinnacle are miles ahead of the rest in terms of odds quality.

For livebetting Betfair, SBOBet and Bet365.

It's because they do not calculate your stake on the return. They just show you the profit.
You would get $20 back, $15 profit.

[simon2012]

so if i get u right ggg, on bet365 ...if odds 4/1 and u put $25 on the out come you should win $100 plus your stake of $25 so winnings will be $125.

[FourLengthsClear]

That is correct.

4/1 fractional; is the same as
+400 US odds; and
5.00 Decimal odds

Yeah the reason why you're confused is that the box next to your stake only shows the profit you will gain from your stake. You have to add your stake to the profit to see the total return.

for live bets i use riobets (.com fwiw)
its very good for soccer, basketball and tennis.. not good for other sports tho, and not very good for no-live betting that much, since the plays are shown within less than 2 days.
the bet options (majorite of them - +20 -) are shown only around 20min before the game, so u should get very good odds on them

[pellumb341]

for live betting --> if you want to bet "over" ,i recommend you 188bet .

Save yourself the issues and play at a real shop with no issues

IBCBET , when i lived in Spain for 5 months this place had everything you can imagine in soccer offerings and lightning fast payouts
