Marathon bet be cerfull !! when open account and deposit

**caveira** · 10-16-13, 12:15 PM

I don't even know how they stay in the business limiting everybody to 1 Euro/bet...

**jjgold** · 10-16-13, 01:42 PM

I have heard some horror stories

it seems they are sucking people in with low juice odds and then trouble when you want cash

**joey1963** · 10-16-13, 02:16 PM

In my experience payouts were within minutes to moneybookers / skrill, but I got reduced to £1 max bets after a few weeks of constant arbing. Can't complain cos made a right few £ in short period of time.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 10-16-13, 02:27 PM

I never had any payout issues at all, always very quick. Probably doesn't hurt I'm in the UK though, Eastern Europeans and so on might not have so much luck.

**SBR Forum** · 10-16-13, 04:01 PM

Marathonbet responds to all SBR inquiries. Their KYC process irks some but most have no problem with it.

**jjgold** · 10-16-13, 04:12 PM

Don't ARB there

You're risking too much money to make is extremely minimal rate of return

If you play at Marathon might be best to send your documents in first

The lines are very similar to pinnacle if not better

Of course the knock is they do reduce your very quick

**juuso** · 10-16-13, 05:35 PM

They didn't lock my account after depositing. Limits were just around 25-30€ per bets on Champions league soccer. I wanted to bet that 200€ on a single bet. Those limits pissed me enough to push me to make a few long shot parlays with the 200€. I got good odds, so thought I'd rather try my luck with riskier parlays than bet 30€ singles. Unfortunately none of them hit, so didn't get to test their withdrawals speed,. I guess they would have asked for documents upon cashing out.

**jjgold** · 10-16-13, 07:28 PM

How do they keep getting players with such small limits ,

Why not ask them for a response on why they limit every single player to peanuts whether they take arbs or not?

**bettingstation** · 10-17-13, 01:06 AM

maybe dont like customer...

I am not surprised at all

**jjgold** · 10-17-13, 06:00 AM

Also marathon is very clever they get themselves on all these arbing services and they most of the time are one side of the arb they must get a lot of sign-ups

You have a good marketing department

I think it's a pretty good euro book for the smaller player if you like pinnacle type juice

**pellumb341** · 10-17-13, 09:26 AM

why bookies always think that people are arbing ? Let's say i want to bet over 2.5 on a soccer match.If it is @ 1.90 at Marathon (for example) while at other bookies it's 1.75 , of course i will place it at Marathon cuz that's the best price in the market,but that doesn't mean that i am arbing.At the end ,what's the reason people register at different bookmakers? To take the best price in the market.

**jjgold** · 10-17-13, 11:50 AM

Pellu good point

Marathon is a neat book
For small players

They actually don't care if you hedge your bet at some other book or not, all they care is when you hit (only) their best odds. And that is unfortunately the case at the majority of other books as well.

Yes, i know it.But the best solution would be to fire their traders for being incapable ,not to close accounts.

If i don't hit the best price , then i would open only one account ( let's say Bet365) and i would place all the bets there ,whatever their prices would be.But,in fact we open several different bookmakers for the only reason to take the best price in the market.

**bigballa** · 10-19-13, 08:40 AM

never had any issues.....you should always send sh*t when you first open any account, that way they cant hold your money when it comes time to collect(or at least they SHOULDNT hold your money)

as jj said they are strictly rec punters if you want high limits best look somewhere else....

**jjgold** · 10-19-13, 12:41 PM

I am sure you can bet $40 a game there with good numbers and not be limited

Its those high amounts they knock you down

**bettingstation** · 10-21-13, 09:57 PM

40 is so small... how about 200$ per bet? they will limit you?

**RedDevil1974** · 10-21-13, 10:52 PM

if you win or they think you are an arber then yes, i never bet more than 100 euros with them, just nibbled at their prices.. took them about 2 days to notice and stop me.

fonbet just as useless.

im amazed anyone thinks they are any good, they most certainly cant win or show any sharpness to punt with them.

**Djurgården** · 10-22-13, 04:00 AM

Stay far away from Marathonbet until they learn something about odds and respect to players. They can´t make money other than steal players funds. In short. Their linesmakers is to bad.....Now they have delays on the docs. Is this a big warning play at Marathonbet? I say YES it is. Many will have payment problems over time.

You can find surebets on most events and large arbs as well. Unfortunately, you can`t play at these odds. Then you will be QUICKLY limited to €£$1. After waiting ID documentation ..... Much work for nothing. The only thing that can happen is that you will be refused to get the documentation. It is very unfortunate that the major betting sites advertise Marathonbet ... Marathonbet destroy the whole betting market with their bad odds and more to come.

**jjgold** · 10-22-13, 06:07 AM

You Have to take him off your arbing service because it screws it all up every game is an ARB

The two major complaints there are ID verification which is extremely slow and also limit players extremely quick

You do get paid though and the odds are pretty good when you do bet

Just keep that small there and try to grind out a few dollars

**dikefale** · 10-22-13, 07:25 AM

Great shop,never a problem with withdrawal. Their neteller/skrill payout is automated and you get in 20 seconds.

**jjgold** · 10-22-13, 08:44 AM

Can you get verified first??

**Djurgården** · 10-22-13, 01:56 PM

If you take a closer look at Marathonbet odds you find arbs on almost EVERY GAME and some VERY BIG ARBS, I am a regular player. Marathonbet limit accounts for bets less than €30. Truth.

Marathonbet is nothing more than

**bettingstation** · 10-23-13, 06:46 PM

so what is the ideal bet there to prevent limit?

**dikefale** · 10-23-13, 07:39 PM

Idk im playing mostly in play games and parlays. Never arbed,this make sense only if you lay 10-20k a game.
Yes you can verify your account first,just talk to chat op and tell you wanna send documents...

**jjgold** · 10-24-13, 06:21 AM

Marathon has a nice simple set up that is very efficient

The parlay ideas very good

It's kind of like a bet 365 type book but better juice

I never had to (all transactions via Skrill). Been betting with them for years . Never been limited . Ones won at the shop $30.000 and never been asked for an ID (cash over the counter) bills were already in stack as they knew the had a winner on this particular ticket.

JJ you know in all of this crying by punters what they forgot to mention in this thread ? If you are limited to $30 per on certain games league nor sport . THERE is NO LIMIT on HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN REBET YOUR $30 and you don't have to wait a minute or 2 . My limits on NBA regular season $55000 on the spread . In live on absecure games $57 but i can rebet this games(after the bet is taken) instantly as many times as i want.
No other UK book will let you rebet the limit . And it's not a glitch Marathon is been this way for the last 10 years .Book moves lines /cents instantly.
This month alone i cashed out 3 times BIG . The money hits Skrill account almost instantly .Later on you get an automatic notification from Skrill that the money is in . In other words the money are in before you even get notification .

Around 4 years ago . I made a post that you can rebet your limit as many times as you want . One of the members asked me to take the post off. I did . Like it's the best kept secret .
LOL . Ask marathon agent if you can rebet you limit , they will tell you yes .

GL.

So the limits are not exactly the limits .

**dikefale** · 10-24-13, 11:14 AM

Its like pinnacle limits, you can rebet.

**jjgold** · 10-24-13, 01:51 PM

Just to revisit my own stupidity. Thanks Vitalyo for clarifying that one can rebet the limit as many times they like, even though odds will move naturally.

I logged in this morning and was very surprised when I saw I had some 230€ balance on the accoumt. Turns out, I have, by mistake, bet some kind of "Lose-to-Win accumulator" bets which will pay out if at least one selection on the parlay loses. Nice surprise I actually have over 200€ I thought I had lost over a month ago.

Asked for Neteller payout. It came almost instantly. No DOCS asked. Pretty good. Will certainly give them another try soon.
