SBOBET, 188bet , IBC

geeat odds , great limits (especially for soccer ) , wide range of leagues, even wide range of LIVE offers for soccer.
withdawalls fast and many options.
Live support good.
For american sports limits usually not good. For example MLB not good limits. But lets remind these books are mostly for soccer high stakes betting.

**Ruifgalmeida** · 04-17-10, 10:10 AM

12bet-A+ very fast withdraws, a lot of american sports live

188bet- A- Solid Book for me.
The odds are same in any asianbook realy realy good for soccer(reduce juice), good in NBA. average in MLB and NHL.
Never had any problems in any asian book

SBO and 188 are great especially for soccer, they have most the worlds leagues, good lines, friendly CS, only problem with 188 is they cut limits if you do well, I was reduced to $200 max on soccer, at least they didn't cut it to $5 or something ridiculous like that

**Teddy_KGB** · 04-17-10, 01:33 PM

Never heard that 188bet cut the limits...did you win a large amount? Anyway I prefer to use sbobet because they settle the half time bets in the half time, while at 188bet you have to wait the full time...

**Hareeba!** · 04-18-10, 04:57 AM

In my experience SBO and 188 are the best soccer books of all if you are into Asians

12Bet look okay but cut your limits very quickly .. I'm just about to give them the arse.

Mansion88 deal the same lines at 12Bet and also cut limits but so far not quite a severely for me yet.

Was a bit disappointed to read the comment about 188 cutting limits .. I haven't had as a good a run with them yet so haven't experienced it myself but things are picking up with them of late so fx.

188Bet is one of the biggest bookmakers. Based in the Far East, 188Bet is offering some great Asian Handicaps, 1X2 and O/U lines. The limits are huge in soccer, but very much small in American markets. One of the leading bookmakers, possibly a bookmaker where the line originates. All other bookmakers, Betfair including, are following 188Bet lines.

SBObet is offering some great Asian Handicaps, 1X2 and O/U lines, but still, it can’t compete with the other huge bookmaker from the Far East, Bet188. The limits are big in soccer, but very much smaller in American markets. 2000 Euros for big markets, a line that you can beat many times. SBObet lines are very sensitive, so expect to lose some time when odds are changing rapidly. In this situation, better place the bets in Bet188.

12Bet is an other bookmaker based in the Far East. Ibcbet is the parent bookmaker of 12Bet, but this doesn’t mean that they have the same odds or the same philosophy. Ibcbet has the same style with the other 2 giants from the Far East Bet188 and Sbobet. On the contrary, 12Bet, is something between a Euro and a Chinese bookmaker. The limits are much lower and the odds are really sensitive, making big and fast moves that an arber could exploit. Even though they have a great variety in Asian Handicaps, it is 1X2 odds that will give you profit. They accept bets of 250 euros maximum, but you can repeat this kind of bets several times. Expect lines to move. Even a bet of 250 euros is enough to move their lines. They do limit some players to lower limits. A very nice initial bonus here, roll over requirements easily met.

Once again a reference to IBC but I've yet to discover how to get to open an account with them!

I attempted to do so on their website and got this email response:

"IBCBET is an online gaming site whereupon membership is by invitation only.
However, IBCBET has an associate site where membership is open to all, this site is www.12BET.com"

Repeated follow up emails were ignored

I also posted the question in this Forum somewhere but didn't see any response.

How does one get an invitation to join them?

Do you need to be chronic loser at 12Bet?

Ibc is good they don't cut limits, at 188 I won too much too fast on some non high profile leagues. 188 lines are very good though, I didn't mind at the time because I cashed out and moved somewhere else but I would still recommend them.

**Teddy_KGB** · 04-19-10, 02:56 AM

OK, but how much did you win that they cut your limits? 40-50K euro?

of course.. also fun88 will cut your limit soon. If you want to place serious bets you need to have sbobet , 188bet and ibcbet (if you would like to join contact me iam an agent) .. also if you want bet big you need VIP accounts etc.. in asia is everything possible

**Goldman** · 08-04-10, 10:47 AM

12bet is just for fun, IBCBet for pros

188bet, sbobet I rate both A+.

**DIF** · 11-08-10, 01:41 AM

Goldman. 12 Bet is also a good bookie if you like bet on draws. (soccer)

**DIF** · 11-08-10, 01:42 AM

but I got your point. 12 bet is for recreational players.

**jimbo747** · 11-08-10, 05:37 AM

Mansion/12bet - C. Their CS and software should be an F, utterly useless. 12bet very quick to limit ime.
Dafabet - C+/B- Seem ok so far
188bet - C- CS never replies to emails, still waiting for bonus to be credited from Feb.
SBO - Registered but Not played here yet.

IMO.

**chachi** · 11-08-10, 06:36 AM

jimbo - not sure why you aren't getting on with it with SBO ...

They're VG and their odds pages remind me of the old departures/arrivals screens at LGA or JFK

**lacoste** · 11-08-10, 01:46 PM

sbobet,ibcbet -> A+
188bet -> A

**jozomir** · 11-08-10, 02:12 PM

Sbobet A +
188bet A +
12bet -B
M88 -B

**jimmy007oc** · 11-09-10, 02:08 AM

Can US citizens play in these asian books???

**austin** · 11-09-10, 02:11 AM

yes they can - as long as they reside outside the land of free

**Don van Vliet** · 11-09-10, 03:51 AM

12bet---B
They have gone downhill rapidly over the past year and are no better than the Europeans books with their poor limits.However if you're a recreational player and want to bet on the most obscure leagues in the world it's still worth a try.They do payout very fast though.

SBO---A+ Best bookmaker around for soccer i.e great lines and limits and i find their customer service very friendly too.

IBC-- Really want to join them,can someone please tell me what the minimum deposit/stake is because it's hard to find any info about this book.

**Automat** · 11-09-10, 04:48 AM

sbo is great

**Sawyer** · 11-09-10, 05:31 AM

SBO is good. Not good as Pinnacle but good to have.
To join IBC, first you should have an account at 12bet. Then they will direct you to IBC. IBC accepts clients by invitation.

One thing I dont understand is why IBCbet works this way, why they are aso secret bookie?

**Don van Vliet** · 11-09-10, 05:54 AM

Thanks Sawyer,unfortunately Pinny doesn't accept Dutch citizens.

I do have a 12bet account and i will send them a mail to see if i can get into IBC.

However i agree with the previous poster that IBC sounds like some sort of secret orginasation!

**DIF** · 11-09-10, 06:06 AM

Jimbo 747. Interesting stuff. Can you tyell me more about Dafabet.

high betting limits?, fast payouts?, bonuses?. etc.

I had an account at 12bet and made an enquiry about joining IBC but they simply referred me to 12bet

12bet reduced my limits regularly and eventually to a level which made them a waste of time for me so I no longer maintain an account there

so how do I get to join IBC or do they only want losers?

if you're an agent, forget it. I will only play directly

**Chopsticks** · 11-09-10, 06:21 AM

12bet recently upped my limits without me asking them. I am not a loser there either so kind of surprised. Hoping for an IBC invitation
