expekt is a shit book

[TJMAXX]

I think they turned a switch on my acct as all i'm getting 'approved' is between $10-$50 for bets.

****ing scammers don't want to take a gooddamn bet.

[eavesdropper]

Welcome to the club. Still they are a lot better than UK bookies.

[betpartners]

Actually they are quite a good book but nice headline

Now do you see what you have created SBR?

Nomads can sign up and their first post has the word shit in the headline, seems this site reputation preceeds itself

[larisa]

I agree, expekt is a shitty bookie that voids winning bets

[betpartners]

wow 10 post combination and your not mates right

[themajormt]

Now do you see what you have created SBR?

This is a forum where people post their experiences, good OR bad... Just because you are a shill for them and don't want to lose the revenue doesn't mean SBR is bad.

[TJMAXX]

Let me add some other euro books in the same or worse category as expekshit:
- bet365 (limits you then slow pays)
- fonbet (limits after one winner)
- bluesq (limits after a small win)
- bwin (absolutely shit)
- doxx (shitty)
- betdirect/clones (the worst of the above)
- betsson (very, very low limits)
- unibet (low limits, but not as bad as others)

feel free to add a few more!

Just because the book limits you, doesn't mean it's s**t. That's how European bookies get rid of undesirable bettors. (As a rule...) they don't steal money in the process and there's almost never a tricky rollover to try and complete with reduced limits like with some off-shores. It's as fair as rejection can be. If you're winning lots and/or betting weak lines, it's to be expected.

I would have to agree. I personally bet with BET365 although they have limited me. I don't know why, I don't bet huge amounts as I have said. They have limited me on the amount of rselections I can place in a accumulator to 4. (I hit a few 7 team soccer accums for 5 euro, winnings ranged from 300 -1500). I didn't hit many but they limited my selections. I am also not allowed place scorecasts apparently (this does not apply over the phone for some reason)

However, despite how limiting crazy they are, the LARGE amount of markets they offer on many sports is brilliant. They have decent odds, ok, they can be beaten but they're still a decent book.

All Euro bookies limit quickly but withdrawals are lightning quick with them. Paddypower have processed a 1,200 withdrawal in 5 mins (chump change to most of you but it's still impressive)

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Expekt are OKish by European standards. Even when you get put on smallish limits you can still ask for $1000, and sometimes you get it. Depeneds how their book is balanced on that market, I guess.

[mariomonte]

Expekt is - like almost all Eurocentric bookies - unusable for "business" betting.
Of course, you can consider their approach of ripping stupid losers only unethical, but you can say the same about many other business plans.
Just take your money and move to a serious bookie.

[Chuck Sims]

Europeans need to grow a set a balls. I notice a ready acceptance to get the shaft with them. Players should boycott losers only sportsbooks.

[TJMAXX]

Not sure why I bother. These donk books don't take a bet. Hell, give me betus any day over these shitholes. At least I can bet a nickle on something and not worried if it gets 'accepted' in the next fifteen minutes. And when they steal my money at least I'll have a nice calendar and dvd to show for it. And these mother****ers who aren't sure if they'll accept my action charge between 6-8% juice too. **** it.

I grow weary of this crap.

I disagree. I always advocate taking them for what profit you can get before moving on. Some profit is better than boycotting them.

Boycotting them won't get them to change their policies, and having the right to refuse somebody's business is a common facet of most legal businesses, which gambling is in (much of) Europe.

I'm not including you in this but isn't it mostly Americans that are on here with complaints that a bookie has stiffed them? It's mostly Americans whom decide to join a book because they are offering a 300% bonus, not caring about how financially sound the book is and whether or not they can get paid.

[larisa]

what kind of books are unibet, bet365, bluesq who will limit you if you have a profit of +1000.

you can imagine what these books are worth if you are such a menace to them with 1000+ profit

You can't assume that limiting you is to do with winning a little. £1000 is peanuts to all of the big Euro books. BlueSq, for example, are listed on the stock exchange and worth many millions. I've won several bets with them over £1000 each.

It's mainly about the lines you're betting. It's cheaper for them to limit undesirables than put money into tightening up their lines, so that's what they do. There are enough regular bettors (like me) who don't just bet soft lines to keep them in a very healthy profit.

[Aside - I feel like I'm saying I'm square. Probably, despite my best intentions But if I'm making a season long bet, or any other high odds bet (eg. golf), I only use the big Euro books as I know it's safe to have my funds tied up with them for a really long time, and that my winnings are also safe. I sometimes win on golf at longish odds, but often lose, which is probably why they keep me ]

[TheBeautifulGame]

Can you defiene the word 'square' in terms of gambling? Thanks

[eavesdropper]

I guess one definition of square could be that you bet lines that are not among the top offers in that market.

[Jaug]

Been with expekt for about 5 years. They "limited" me a couple of months ago but they still take all action I want, they just take a couple of minutes to approve. On the other hand i'm not arbing like alot of people in this thread are probably doing.

[Barbarian]

also worth to mention they are paying out relatively quickly

[moonbeam]

Their livebetting sucks, but it´s an ok euroean book imo

European books don´t like arbitrage players.
Thats all and that´s ok.
If I was a european book, I also don´t like them.
All those arbitrage players sitting in front of their arbitage software kills their buiseness (and also my buiseness).
So fugg off please

[Stifter]

Some European books simply saying to customers: "Sorry, we have noticed that you won too much/ we don't like your style of play, and therefore we are not able to let you place anymore bets with us, goodbye".(Stanjames, Willhill). I think that is more fair than giving insane limitations like Betsson (10€), Betclick (5€), Betsafe(sometimes 1.XX €, most ridiculous bookie I've ever seen, very SAFE however LOL), Bet365 and a lot of other shyte-books are doing. I suppose Expekt is somewhere mid-table as they not limit you (me however) for pennies once you have won 2 or 3 bets.

[head_strong]

Book.....

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Expekt seem to limit anyone they spot to 100 euros automatic, although you can often get a lot more on trader approval.

Stanjames, bluesquare, boyles, betsafe, bet365, willhill, ladbrokes don't seem to have much flexibility in limits. Maybe to 10%, then 1%, and some go straight to 1%. The only one that actually closed my account was paddypower (long after I'd stopped using it due to limits), everywhere else has stuck me on pennies.
