    bet365's crappy tennis lines...

    Are bet365's tennis lines always around 33% worse than Bookmakers?

    Why would you ever play ML tennis lines at bet365? First... in case of a player retirement it's automatic void. Secondly, pinna or BetFair always always offer better lines than b365 (with a rule of first set being completed otherwise retirement will void the match). If you want early lines before anybody else - bwin consistently posts lines first - often times they are off the wagon, so I'm not sure how long would your account last without limits there... if you don't mind waiting for pinnacle's lines - you'll usually get the best lines. For set betting - it's between asians and pinna... however pinna is quite lazy and posts them late.

    I don't play tennis there. I use Bookmaker. I was just wondering who would with those lines. I'll be opening up a Pinnacle account soon since I'm stationed in England. Thanks!

    Bet 365 has a bad ML line,but they have quite a wide variety of other tennis bets like 3-way handicap and 3-way number of games,number of sets and you can find nice lines there.......only problem for me is that my account is limited to a couple euros.

    I know, right? I just need a legit book ASAP. I'm about to empty my Bookmaker account until this stuff blows over. I like bet365 because NFL, NBA, and MLB aren't too bad. Most importantly, you can load and unload instantly. No waiting for funds. Click a button and it pulls from your bank. Never had a problem with cashing out. No calls needed...

    Bet365 do not accept US customers as far as I know, so why bother... and if you're outside the US, there's Pinny or Betfair for tennis

    Edit: I see you're in the UK... then Pinny, Betfair and some Asian Bookmakers have low juice on tennis, but Bet365 ain't the worst by far

    Cool. I'm an American living in the UK with a British bank account. I've been trying to open up a Pinny account for quite some time but keep getting denied for some reason. I'll try Pinny one more time. If not, I guess then it's Betfair. I don't trust Bookmaker anymore, and 365's tennis -600 is usually -400 at other sites. Thanks!

    Bet 365 has high juice but it's an ATM machine if you have half a clue.

    Sorry, this is simply not true if you can create a square enough image.

    How do you do that, exactly? Just curious...

    In my early years of gambling, I opened an account there and played several months, I ended up losing with my square wagers. Some years later, I deposited again and started winning, my limits were sky high (could wager 1000 Euros or more on obscure minor league games) and it took months and months until they finally limited me. Then, a friend of mine opened a fresh account, bet on something, beat the closing price, and was limited before the game even finished. So yeah, a square image definitely helps a lot, but it seems you have to invest a lot of time and money to create that image in the first place.

    In case of retirement bets have to be void, that s a reason to play in b365

    For Bet365 I've found the key is to bet the odd accumulator (parlay) now and then, and if you do the 4/1 offer, don't always take the best lines.

    Most generous UK book for me by far.
