Would be a dream to have a BET365 account.

You should have Bet365 backend operations in any state that legalizes i'd guess.

Bet365 is the old Bowman's right? If so, this is just completing the circle of when Bowman's took US players. They had the sexiest sounding phone girls ever, along with Canbet.

wow!
you'll soon be able to bet $3.65

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Awful book. Unfortunately, also a very, very good business.

They were up at $60bn handle last year - on recent trends, they'll overtake maxbet to be the biggest in the world soon enough.

I was sure they are biggest. I remember some 8-9 years ago Bwin was huge too.
Can you post list of biggest betting sites Worldwide,but official. Not just subjective impression.

Replying to @gondorffhenry @TimMillerTweets @DCMS
If I was in charge of government I would tax @bet365 75% of all their profits, it's incredible that gambling firms are allowed to make billions and not have a few losing accounts on their books, they must laugh at the lame UK government that allows them to fleece the UK people

Thanks. I was just confused about the terms revenue, turnover, handle. I thought all these terms mean the same (no native speaker).

According to Brett Forrest, an American journalist who wrote a book about match-fixing years ago, IBCBET/MAXBET had a handle of $150bn back in 2013. Another serious source said $45bn in 2011 (SPIEGEL). All these numbers are estimations because Asian books don't have to report their balance sheet.

Costa Rican bookies better than 365 JJ?

So many lower level football markets not offered in Asian Markets on 365.

5 Dimes has a decent offering on soccer/football and 20 cent lines. Bookmaker on the other hand is awful- odds juiced to the max... and they take away the rewards program on top of it all.

My biggest problem with Bookmaker is that their live betting totally sucks. They don't have many lines for Soccer/Basketball/Tennis.

365 great for $5 bettors

If they ever come to US,guys who bet only US sports will have huge limits,dont have to worry.

how much is "huge"?
and for how long once a player demonstrates any talent?
what makes you think they will be any different to how they work elsewhere?

[qsgsg]

They limit winning players and will confiscate your winnings if it gets too big.
