    I like Betfair cause you can get great live odds, but Betfair has less than 10% of Bet365's live betting events and betting options ...

    Yeah I have to agree here - while on the whole Betfair does have much better odds for most live events, quite often the lesser sports (even NHL + MLB) dont really have enough liquidity on live games to make it worthwhile.

    IMO books that limit players after several bets should not be worthy of any higher than a B rating.

    i agree, the way they limit people is very inconsistent too, they should just make it clear cut and state that if you withdraw or make x amount you will be capped, often times the limiting comes out of nowhere, would be better if players knew ahead of time so they at least know where they stand...

    It is a joke for a book to be rated so high when you are only allowed to play there if you are losing.

    By playing fair do you mean only betting their square lines?

    If ratings were decided that way, SBR would just have pinny/cris/greek/sbo/betfair as A, and everybody else as F - they all limit anyone who's betting value as soon as they notice them.

    Ok thx all, think i found the american dream.
    Be a full juice (or worse) bookie. Pick out very carefully who you want as player and limit everyone who is not in one of the following categories: rich and doesn't care about odds, addicted and doesn't care, clueless and doesn't care, donating his money and doesn't care, desperate.
    Because you are greedy, scam around a bit with bonuses, cancelled bets and some other shady things. Don't do it for a while after getting caught, and come back clean on top of the crowd. Count your money. Laugh at all the idiots who even like you for it.

    Sounds too good to be true? You would think so.
