    Bet365

    Just checked out their live lines, absolutely amazing how many games and options they have for live betting.

    They do juice up the lines pretty good (-120) but you can still find tons of edges if you lean off Pinny's live numbers.

    Anyone have experiencing with Bet365, good/bad?

    Thinking of making a deposit there.

    like all UK books they will limit you severely if you show any talent

    but make the most of it until that happens

    very useful for racing

    not as good as Betfair for live betting

    I liked them very much - till I got limited
    and if they limit, they limit hard
    but you never have to worry about your money

    Serious book that proposes many types of bets, unfortunately one is so quickly limited, and so low limited ... One can receive a bonus one day and the following day being limited. That's what i'm experienced: bonus of 15 euros one day, limited to about 2.35 euros per bet the following day !!!! the bad joke...

    yes, they can limit you to 2$ per bet, if you win much.

    Yes but at least one can't blaim them for noy being honest: when one asks them the reason of the limit, they clearly answer that one's account is unprofitable for them

    A very good bookie for small and medium stake bettors.

    If you are a big stake bettor and win, expect to be limited very fast.

    IMHO their live betting offer is the best, most events offered, and many bet types...especially good for those who like to bet on european sports

    I am up more than 10 times my original deposit, I've received more than 20 weekly bonuses (for me they come Wednesday afternoon), and no signs of limiting. Of course, I am grinding up slowly but surely, not max betting games if there's a 2% arb or some MORONIC move like that, occasionally making dumb bets trying to look as square as possible. So far so good.

    have you compared them with Betfair ?

    be very surprised if you'd do better than the lower juice option there

    It depends what you want to be betting live, in US Sports terms I find that Betfair is fine for NBA/NFL live games, but then it comes to MLB, NHL NCAA etc then the liquidity just isnt there so it is all but useless to use In-Play.

    As other posters have said, this firm is about as safe as they come and has probably the best Live game coverage that I have ever seen with the vast majority of games that are offered Live.

    As for limiting, yes they will limit if they dont like your business, and then can limit hard, but for the small to medium or recreational gambler then they are ideal...

    Bonuses (At least for me) arrive around every 2 weeks & are a £10 no deposit bonus with a W/R of 3x.

    Bonuses are stake returned & not 'sticky'

    For bet 365 if you get limited, cant you bet on the same play like 10 times?

    So bet on a team for 2 dollrs 10 times?

    I am limited but I can bet the line again if it changes. Doesn't do much good at all though because my limits are so low. 1% of my original limits.

    How is that even a problem?

    They do Live in game betting - their lines change every 5 miinutes, if you keep making the bets u can get at least 20 bucks in.

    Bet365 is rated A- now, I agree, it is a good bookie, huge markets, great live bets and fast payouts in less than 24 hours.
    No limits yet for me

    Would they limit a person who keeps winning his 50 dollar bets?
