does readbet just copy sbobet's odds?

[donkson]

I use CentreBet mainly for their PYOL (pick your own line), and their exotics are pretty decent. Pinnacle for everything else.

Sportingbet has a bad reputation from what I've read, and TAB is terrible value.

But seriously if you're mainly looking to bet on fairly popular markets, pinnacle should be your number one choice by a long way.

What's with the bad rep for Sportingbet?

I've been with em for awhile, found em searching for betting on Japanese Mixed Martial Arts and K-1. Had a few incorrect results, wins being marked as a loss but staff were always friendly and its resolved asap.

I have accounts on
Sportsbet: Free AFL - NRL and Soccer Tipping comps, Pick Your Own Lines added this season, MMA Exotics - Method of Victory/Round Betting
Sportingbet: As mentioned above, non UFC MMA, user friendly for betting on racing.
Centrebet: Signed up and only used it once or twice.
Titanbet: Not an Australian based site but a SB and poker site I found directed from a poker site review site, wanted to try out texas hold em, turns out I never had the patience for poker and so stick with the Aus based books.
Live betting, can bet 3 au cents min, 20 line parlays and has pretty good calculator software that adds combo fields for 3,4,5,6,7 etc folds, found its only C+ or so rated here though.

Yeah looks like a skin of canbet so will have same odds as SBO.

Readbet are very new to sports betting and race betting has been on offer for only a few months too

They have very low limits for sports but the main attraction is their even money lines for AFL, NRL and S15

For racing they are an excellent option, particularly their discount bet product for country and lower grade provincial meetings

[Hareeba!]

What's with the bad rep for Sportingbet?

.

stakes limited to peanuts
access to some racing products banned altogether

The Aussie books can often beat Pinnacle on local sports
Even money lines on offer at Betstar, Readbet and Luxbet
TAB has high juice lines for sure but that doesn't mean they don't have the best odds on occasions and they will take a large bet. No1 club a good loyalty program too.
Centrebet and Sportinget have cut my limits to waste-of-time levels and barred me from some racing products so I don't use them any more.

[Border Gadgie]

IASbet are solid enough, odds not too bad, have a decent SUB and do regular offers and reloads. Fairly quick to limit at certain sports though if you beat their lines. They are now very strict on I.D. like alot of Aussie books.

[King_Suckerman]

Is there a sign-up bonus at Readbet?

[tommygun]

dude, too easy, just sign up at Betfair. Done.

[chance]

Hareeba what can you tell me about Topsport?

[Hareeba!]

Is there a sign-up bonus at Readbet?

plenty of other regular bonuses

[brucethebear]

I am with Sportsbet, Sporting and Pinnacle. If you want live internet betting, bet365.
I have had no problems with sporting. Lots of free promo's and comps. (I am only a small time hobby gambler.)

[tommygun]

$20 free bet if you quote: plenty of other regular bonuses

Mods this is obvious SPAM, issue a warning

Bull shit. Not obvious spam at all. Just sharing of information.

If you don't like it just click on another thread or just piss off.

this was supposed to be about Australian books so don't know why we are talking Pinnacle and Bet$3.65 here ?

but whilst you're at it, Betfair is THE place for online live betting (unless you are playing from Oz of course, in which case you can phone in your bets)

[Hareeba!]

Hareeba what can you tell me about Topsport?

I've not used them an awful lot but find that they do frequently have best available odds for the local footy codes at least. Also found that they often top the market on tennis dogs.

Never any problems with them and I've always been accommodated for the stake I've requested.

IAS are a very useful book for racing. Full stop.

They are probably the worst of all for limiting on sports.

[chance]

Are bet24/7 and sportsalive the same company?

[tommygun]

My sharing of information got me an issuement of a warning! very similar to what hareeba posted. It's BS to infringe someone then not the other person.

[tommygun]

Chance you dumb fck, just sign up with Betfair and stop asking silly questions

[Hareeba!]

Are bet24/7 and sportsalive the same company?

not exactly

I understand that they are separately owned but I think you will find that their betting offers are identical.

Bet247 seems to offer more in the way of bonuses but their screen colours of light green on dark green are a bit rough to have to put up with if your eyes aren't so young and good.

hey Tommy, what lines are Betfair quoting for tonight's AFL and NRL games?

[tommygun]

I honestly cannot be bothered looking at the moment. www.betfair.com.au.

[tommygun]

Nothing essentially. I got an infraction for posting a sign up bonus for a book so why shouldn't you?


Also, your beloved Pinnacle doesn't have lines up for AFL so you can't compare mate.

[Hareeba!]

you are totally incorrect on two counts:

1. Pinnacle do have line betting quotes for tonight's AFL and one of the two NRL games
2. My comparison was more to do with your comment to Chance to open an Betfair account instead of worrying about Oz books, nothing to do with Pinnacle.

[Hareeba!]
