    MarathonBet - GREAT BOOKMAKER!

    I've tried it for the 1st time yesterday, it's amazing .... I made a deposit via Moneybookers, made a withdrawal via Moneybookers, got my withdrawal within SECONDS!!

    So I tried it again, deposited another £100, bet and won £30, made a withdrawal for the whole £130 and got it within seconds too!!

    They process withdrawals automatically (as long as you're verified) ... and they got good odds and lots of choices !!!

    I'm very happy with this one.

    For a European book it is one of better lower juice places
    Extensive betting menus
    software average but very efficient..its actually spinoff software of Fonbet the massive Russian Bookmaker

    I am taking them for small odds only ... tested them again:

    Deposited £1000 via Moneybookers
    Bet £1000 on OVER 6.5 games in Petric Petkovic tennis game 3rd set (ended with 9 games)
    Won £17
    Withdrew £1017

    In seconds I got to my Moneybookers £1017 ... even if the amount is high they let you withdraw it so quickly ... it's already in my MB account!!

    So yeah, maybe limit you quickly but out of all the bookies in the world there is no bookie that pays you THAT quickly !!!!

    Who cares about the withdraw speed, if you can not bet on the games.

    I wanted to see if they would stop and gimme this BS CRAP like "WAIT FOR A MINUTE ... you withdraw £1000 ??? Noooo we need to do our special security checks bla bla bla coz your security is our priority" but they DIDNT ... they let you withdraw once you're verified and they let you do it so fast ....

    I care about the speed of withdrawal, I less care about limits, I know how to handle myself around that ... I have Pinny and SportingIndex to bet unlimited on high odds .... but I have Marathon to take small odds bets and get the winnings in seconds ... That's what I call a good book maker ...

    UNLIKE BET770 - wankers , they give you so many hassles b4 you get your withdrawals ....

    If you are wining player, they will eventually ask you for documents.I was withdrawing thousands of euros in seconds, but when they limited my account I requested full balance withdraw, and that last withdraw and verification lasted 24h. And that is not fair. I really have respect to few books which wont even allow you to deposit until they dont verify you, and that should be industry standard.

    A book with such a mass of crazy outdated odds like marathonbet canŽt be serious.
    Or they limit you to cents after 2 bets.
    I donŽt want to bet there, no thanks

    I opened an account at Marathonbet more than 10 years ago, in 2002, and still have good limits despite the positive balance. I can tell you that they low limits depending on players' betting styles, and don't do that for their winnings only. I like to bet with small odds, and often place accumulators. They like it and they let me to play and win.

    Not used them for any length of time myself, but it's curious how they have really low juice on some sports - that usually doesn't fit with a book that limits at the drop of a hat.

    Maybe they just dislike arbers/steamers?


    Apparently their skin/sister site panbet are rebranding as marathon.co.uk, so looks like they're expanding.

    The lower juice for a euro book is very surprising

    I doubt they would ever stiff you

    I have been comparing odds and this place ranks like top 5 in world on all sports with lower margins
    Soccer always rigt up there with 1x2, asians, and even o/u
    USA sports better than most euro places

    Strange..under the radar but like many say some lower limits if you hit them hard

    Software is confusing main weakness

    Their aggressive limiting policy began pretty much right after Rebelbetting started covering them.

    In my opinion, in some "overall" way, they are the book with lowest juice on the world.They have the biggest offer, and even on small sports and low leagues juice is usually 5% max.

    Pity that limits come so fast.I would die to have their local shop in my town as they have in russia.

    Scalpers are guys that ruin limits

    I bet if you bet $50 or $100 a game you could be safe though

    Style of play is only that matters, $100 is more than enough to get limited.

    They do limit account. Yes, but most european bookies does. I can see Bookmakers 2U have them rated as 5+ of 7+. And they do pay good according to players here. Just be careful with higher betting action and you should be fine with them. At least so far.

    Most of the people are reporting that on small events they limit severely,like 10-20 euros, depends, but limit on big events, like Champions league soccer, UEFA league soccer, Russian soccer league etc. stays good enough,from hundreds to thousands.
    I m one of the really rare ones limited to 1E on everything.My Panbet account isnt limited jet, but limits there are from the start for everyone like 50% lesser than ones on Marathonbet.,

    If I could choose one book to have unlimited account with it would be marathonbet or stanjames and probably most of sharp bettors opinion would be the same.
