    What Are Better To Play At: Euro Books Or Asian Books?

    Other than Betfair it seems UK books are just price gouging you on most sports
    Is it the same in Philippines and other Asian Books?

    The UK books do post some good odds but it doesn't take long for them to effectively boot you by imposing absurdly low limits.

    SBO and 188Bet are excellent for soccer, take good sized bets and aren't quick to limit.

    But 12Bet and Mansion88 are just like the UK books.

    agree, their new site is awful

    but this game is about winning and their odds are up their with the very best and they take a decent sized bet ... that's more important to me than sexy software

    Some of the asian books do take some getting used to (dafabet, betsafe etc). And yes hareeba is correct most pommie books have stupidly low limits, especially if your a foreign account holder...

    nope just shopping... what's the point in having "good" books if u don't take the best number? wasn't like i was hitting 3rd division polish footy - just ATP tennis.

    maybe i should have parlayed all the favs 1st?

    unreal how these euro books cut players limits, they are so massive I do not know why they would even care.

    I think they must have automated software that detects shit.

    it depends on the what you want, if you are a typical soccer bettor, taking 2,5 Over /Under , Moneyline or -1, -1,5 asian handicap, you should go to asian books.
    if you interested in player bets, prop bets (yellow card,red card, corner bets..etc...) or 0,5/1,5 /3,5/4,5/5,5 Over/under bets you should prefer to euro books.

    Unless you like real exotics, you don't need to think much about "other than betfair." Being able to go both long and short and having pretty much every event on earth live and with full range of bets gives you a lot of freedom.
