    Boylesports -UK book will limit you fast to just few cents. .Faster then any other UK book .
    Extrabet - for sports spread betting safe and secure .

    Marathonbet - is the largest bookmaker in former USSR . OK odds for soccer .

    BoyleSports is a really big name. Definitely reputable. Can't believe SBR hasn't rated them.

    Not familiar with the other two.

    Boyles are good but expect low limits if you have got a clue. If you bet on horses they are good though.
    I have never played with extrabet myself but I know they are safe. They offer spreadbetting if you are in to that, or binary bet if you prefer something even more exotic.

    Sbobet.... A+!

    Marathonbet... I know of them but have never played there due to the obvious language barrier. If you are an english speaker you may prefer to go to Panbet. Panbet are in a pretty well-regulated area so you should be safe. I have no idea where or even if marathonbet is regulated. I think marathonbet and panbet should offer all the same stuff to bet on, but odds vary slightly when I was checking it out. I may have read something about how marathonbet customers were being transferred to Panbet a few months back, not sure really. I would not exactly say that panbet are great (mostly due to limits) but you can have a decent run there if you don't mind betting £20's and £30's.

    Boylesports is a decent bookie. Though BEWARE if you dare to win as you will be limited to pennies fairly rapidly

    Extrabet does both fixed odds betting & spread betting. Extrabet are owned by IG Index who now funnel their sports spread betting side through the Extrabet band name.

    Used to accept fairly decent stakes, but recently they have cut back limits drastically both for Fixed Odds & Spread Bets stakes Safe bookie to use though.

    Never heard of Marathonbet

    Sbobet-are top book A++ , very very good odds(they can be compare with Pinnacle), fast payouts, good services(live chat) it is a must have for betting on soccer(every soccer game in the world live)
    Boylesports-everything was been said, reliable book but fast limits.

    As for the others never heard about it?

    sbobet - very good, i use.
    marathon - i heard about it, i guess it's pretty big, should be ok. i'd dare to use for limited amounts, as in case you encounter problems there, don't count on any russian federation regulator to help you...
    extrabet - i guess ok for limited amounts. not sure in stability of financial - connected institutions & how exposed they can get.

    boyles is a great book but you will be lucky if they let you play for longer than two days with full limits.

    SBO is for years one of the best bookies around.

    I found it too risky to play at other two you mentioned

    Wouldn't bother trying to arb at panbet, you'll be limited online really quickly if they don't think you're a mug (took one bet for me where price was equal to exchange, and the damn thing lost). Horse odds used to be really competitive, not so much now. Be prepared to be limited to £2 online after one or two bets and end up having to phone bets through.
