    I enjoy playing at Stan James.
    I had my first problem tonight (what I think is a mis grade).

    I e-mail them. Ten minutes later I get back a nice personalized note, sent by a person, not a computer.

    Dear Carl,
    Thank you for your recent email.
    I am currently looking into your query and will aim to get back to you within the next few hours.
    Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
    Kind Regards,
    Kenny.
    I like that.

    Caribbean books, take note.

        StanJames sucks . Odds are garbage 30-33 cents lines . Useless for NFL, NCAA football ,Basketball ,NHL,BBL and about every other sport . Not to mention they have closed 100s if not 1000s accounts 2-3 years ago at one shot . Half of the accounts were not even winning accounts .

          actually you will find that most of the Pommie books are very pleasant in their communications (apart from Ladbrokes and Wm Hill) but it doesn't stop them very quickly cutting your limits to the point of no longer being worthwhile

          as for the Caribbean books, I have always found Pinnacle to be very courteous too

              get real mate!
              they're a Pommie book and here you are picking on their US sport odds!! ... those sports don't rate there
              Stan does do decent odds on a range of other sports but unfortunately there's only so much you can get of them before they cut your limits severely

                      I still like Stan James, happy to have an account there.

                      Caribbean books limit too. I like the European books because at least they pay upon request.

                          And they regraded pleasantly.

                          Dear Carl,
                          My Apologies this was resulted incorrectly in error, both bets have since been amended to pay out in full.
                          Kind regards,
                          Brian

                            What other Euro books do you play at? Do they welcome U.S. business? Are they all 110?

                              Euro books are brilliant for their payouts and the majority are great for their customer service. They are also brilliant (especially for Paddy power and Bet365) for their soccer props. They have a stupid amount of things that you can bet on. Mug bets mostly like:

                              "Which team will kick off first" - Who would bet that?

                              "How many corners" - Again, why?

                              "What celebration will be performed" - Cmon!!!! (in fairness only seen this a few times)

                              "How many subs will be made" - Wouldn't bet that myself.


                              Loads more. The above examples are all bets that you CANNOT possibly make a statistical betting analysis on. There are all CHANCE bets (I know gambling is a chance) but I think most people here will get my meaning.

                              The only prop bets that could be worth a punt imo is the "time of first goal bets 0-20 mins etc etc, they can be worthwhile bets in a way.

                                Dear Carl,
                                We are a pussy euro book.
                                I am currently blowing some dude (yes I am a dude too )
                                When I am finished or should I say when he is finished I will look at your query and cut your limits unless you are a degenerate.
                                Kind Regards,
                                Kenny

                                  This is why:
                                  Best site to capp corners .There no other site that come close to this one .


                                  this should help you to get more educated


                                  Books are having hard time to capp corners (lack of stats and time on how team does when they are favorite or dog ,on the road vs home ,head 2 head stats) .What books do ? They use average # for both teams. % by the # of games they played to come up with the # of corners.
                                  With alternative corners on bet365 and betfair 10-13 inclusive ,corners market that pays 3.30-3.65 (betfair). You can even arb corners (they hardly fallow each other on this prop).
                                  Plus you can hedge/trade your bet in-play .

                                  Corners are an easy money .French leagues, Russian leagues(i speak russian(i got all the stats i need off russian site)) are the best for wagering on corners .


                                  GL.

                                    yes, all very fine in theory
                                    but how does a serious arber get set for more than $3.65 at Bet365?

                                    or for that matter with any of the European books books offering those sort of markets?
                                    at the limits imposed on my accounts it would take more than a lifetime of trades to make $100K

                                          Asian books . Half of your bets you will win with BF or spread betting .

                                          Whats your point ?I don't get it I posted links above ! Proven corners can be easily beaten with books, BF an spread betting .

                                            My point simply is that you need books which will take on serious punters. I know full well that there are arb opportunities if that hurdle can be overcome.
                                            Only one of the Asian books I'm aware of will take a decent sized bet but they don't even offer corners.
                                            So I'm still looking around for the other 100

                                                I also play at paddy power, Ladbrookes and Bet888.

                                                    Good lord guys, so you get thrown out of a book.

                                                    Act like you have been there before.

                                                    In the meantime, any book whose primary defense is banning players is a great book to bet into. I plan to be at Stan James for many more happy years.

                                                      I e-mail them. Ten minutes later I get back a nice personalized note, sent by a person, not a computer.



                                                      I like that.

                                                      Caribbean books, take note.
                                                      they will cut your limit to $10 real soon

                                                        They will NOT cut my limits down to $10 "real soon". You silly abr/steam chasing players, I do not do that.

                                                        I am a good customer, and plan to be one for years to come.

                                                        Site is down at the moment though. Not too happy about that.
