How can SBOBET (and other big Asian books) possibly not be rated?

    Sbobet does more volume than 8 out of the 12 books listed up top put together. Sbobet is gigantic.

        For those who interested in IBC or other asian books, check out asianconnect88.com ...they offer many sites and a service of high limits. Funny thing is ...how they get licensed as agent?

          For game handicaps, I find myself doing more and more with SBO, 12Bet and 188 these days, and if they allowed you to slide the line/buy points, they'd be perfect.

          I often find myself only going to Pinny if I need to shift an AH offset or over/under offset

            Come on SBR this is ridiculous. If there's one A+ book there then surely it's SBO.

                SBOBet don't offer any kickbacks for referrals - it's that simple!

                    Not a single comment for SBR in this thread.
                    Why?

                    SBR has ratings for many European recreational books who will limit you on a whim, They have ratings for the big UK books, for Betfair and for many others that US players are not able to access. Given this, it seems completely illogical not to have ratings for SBOBet (and to a lesser extent 188Bet) when they are one of the biggest books for the biggest betting sport in the world.

                      WTF cares what SBR do or don't do about SBO and 188Bet ?

                      it says more about SBR than it does about the top soccer books in the world.

                      We know they are A books. Just get on with it and stop worrying about SBR.

                      This is the same lot who suggested they might lower Betfair's rating

                        Yes it does and that is the point. It would be surprising to most to learn that most gamblers (recreational players) even in the UK have never heard of Pinnacle and probably only know of SBOBet and 188Bet because of their soccer sponsorships.

                        If one of these guys stumbles accoss SBR, it would be nice to think that they are reading information that is both full and impartial. The fact that SBR refuses to rate these books is an indication to me that they are now closer in stature the the other numerous sponsor friendly sites out there than they are a "Sportsbook Review".

                          these UK gamblers likely also never heard of SBR, and even if they do, they're not SBR's target audience. none of us euro's are.
                          SBR is obv big on connections with the US-facing books and knows who owns what in CR and elsewhere in the Caribbeans, but way more often than not appear to have no pull whatsoever in disputes with non-US facing books. On top of that these Asian books are awesome but also untransparent as hell. SBOBet is popular for what they offer and for the fact they always pay, but we have no idea who's behind them really. We for the main part also have no idea who's behind Pinny for example, but apparently SBR does and feels safe to think they're reliable. I feel pretty safe claiming SBR is in no better position (or even a worse position) than us to pass any judgement on any Asian books though.
                          I can imagine SBR doesn't want to get caught handing out A+'s to operations they have no clue about, and operations that hardly serve their target audience anyway. Nothing to gain, a lot to lose. We soccer-betting euro's/aussies know the Asians are great (well, as great as their last payout), what do we care if the US audience doesn't?

                              I'll accept what people are stating as to SBO's value for soccer.

                              But their limits on some sports are the lowest I've seen anywhere.

                              For a book that many are describing as ginormous, it's ridiculous for them to offer piddling limits.

                                Really like Dafabet at the moment, odds are good and decent sign up & reload bonuses, even with the high wagering requirements its still not a problem to use as main asian book.

                                  other than bonuses do they offer anything I can't get at SBO and 188Bet ?

                                  I don't like having to do rollovers at odds worse than I can get elsewhere

                                    Dafa bet will limit eventually, the same as 12 bet. both are owned by the same company, asian connect.

                                    I am down to 50euros from 1000euros.

                                        Do you have a personal limit at Dafabet or at 12BET? I'm playing at Dafabet for 3 month, and I don't get limited till now. The only negativ point at Dafabet is that I'm not able to open the webpage without opening a new browser window.

                                                Tried withdrawing from SBO for first time today. Its a pain in the ass. they require front and back of CC, passport and CC statement. Not very comfortable sending all that info.

                                                Also why are there lines and limits for soccer so good and for all other sports so bad? I understand asians mostly bet soccer but if they were to offer tighter lines on NBA or MLB im sure they would increase business. Also their in running odds for these sports are a joke. 40c-50c lines

                                                  you should be comforted by the fact that they are doing their best to ensure it is YOU they are paying your money to

                                                    Also why are there lines and limits for soccer so good and for all other sports so bad? I understand asians mostly bet soccer but if they were to offer tighter lines on NBA or MLB im sure they would increase business. Also their in running odds for these sports are a joke. 40c-50c lines
                                                    Tell me any other book who offer better in-running odds on US sports... (except for betting when the game is paused and excluding exchanges)

                                                    No bookmaker I know of offers US Sports live betting with decent limits

                                                    High juice does not even matter because their live lines are mostly set wrong by several points so you can still make decent profit
