Why is BET365 rated as C?

[sharlataans]

Searched forums and did not find anything bad about them. What is it? Are they not paying or they have bad odds?

[lukahh]

in my opinion, it is A book. funds are safe.
of course, if you bet wisely, they limit you quite soon.

[Chopsticks]

They are rated A-. They were only recently upgraded from B.

You must have mixed something up. They are C on SBR ODDS. That really must be because they limit gamblers who manage to win quite fast. That's a shame.

I like their live-in betting, the best I have seen. I hope I am a square and they let me bet

[sharlataans]

And yes, lukahh works for Bet365 and gets paid for good comments here in SBR.

Bet365 don't welcome pro players. It's a recreational book. If you win over long haul, they limit you. I don't recommend this bookie to anyone. Stick with "A" books.

No. I am going by what it says on the main sbr site and not sbrodds. Bet365 is not the ony one with the wrong rating on that page.

"Recent Activity: Bet365 upgraded from B to A-" - front page.

bet365 is a great book, when you win to much worry about that when the time comes, otherwise you have better live betting than any book, incredible props in baseball, that are up early and you can parlay and they pay quickly

[Salamander]

A- sounds about right for these guys, a couple of notches below A+ because of the quick limiting, some people moan and groan because of their KYC procedure, and maybe the occasional live betting complaint (which is balanced by the incredible amount of live betting opportunities), but they are OK by my book.

SBR Odds ratings aren't in tune with Sportsbook Review.com, occasionally there's a delay in one being updated.

It's being fixed. Bet365 is A-.

Nothing bad, except the odds of course. Always pay within hours.

[justonetime]

Good book. But everyone, with zero exceptions, will be limited eventually.

[jackkkk2009]

Played there in 2006 before the UIGEA adapted. Lines were great. But They will cut you betting easily if they consider you're a Pro gambler or wise guy. No matter you still have the rollover requirement or not. That's why there were downgraded from A+ to several lower level.

B at best

[aggieshawn]

good book

[brad89]

They're OK. They have issues but nothing money related (what I've heard from people I know). I haven't had any problems myself but I rarely use them...

[biggie12]

one of the best books around especially for live betting.

[Slainte]

It's fun book, have almost any bet you can think of, and maybe the only one that offers betting on corners.

[kkkkk]

B at best

same opinion. big juice as any other european book and limits if u win regularly. so thats not the best place to play. If you dont bet for living, then its fine.

365 is limiting sharps too fast.

can you give an example , about how much you won under 1000 , over 1000. and what are your limits now, thanks

[Zuon]

the loser isn't limited!

[nenad]

why not?

[fixxer]

bet365 is a great book for small and medium stake bettors.....large stake bettors won't be there for a long time...

[Hareeba!]

limiting is generally not based on how much a player wins but his betting style, e.g. if he is beating the closing line regularly he's a marked man

Interesting, I have only used bodogs live betting system. Maybe i will give theres a try.

Do you mind telling what beating closing line means? I an new to betting and want to know about it.

Typically arbitrage players, "steam chasers" and tips followers will rush to place bets when a bookie is showing the best odds for something. The book gets flooded with a stack of one sided action on an event and is forced to lower its odds to put a halt to it. They don't like one sided action which is then very difficult to offset to produce a balanced book. Such players are identified and effectively made unwelcome and discouraged with drastically reduced limits.

Where did you see exactly that is a c?Many time now has upgraded!

[antan80]

I think they are C because:
They sometimes limits your account to 5$ per bet;
They can ask a stupid things like to scan your PVC code ant sent to them;
They can ask to put your ID near your face and make a photo of you holding the ID card and send them;
And some other things like this!

It is not always about winning or not winning but what lines you play.

I played them ca 200 bets. All aboeve 500 eur (max I bet was 5k eur on a single line). I played smart to my mind, not hitting the obvious bad lines. they dropped my limits to ridiculous amounts - for example EPL under 1.5 odds I can bet only 100 eur.

Not using them now.

[zebras99]

because it's a shitty bookie for kids who bet 10euros a bet. Win a few bigger bets and you're out.

Tell me you made that up, did they actually make you do that!?

I agree 100% with this. Also, in regards to the limits placed on peoples account. In my case,
I could ring and place my bets and limits were not imposed so that can be an option for some people.

I remain there when I want to place my 'mug' bets like scorecasts. I like placing the odd bet for very small stakes and long odds, also for accumulators.

The two promos, bore, money back and 100% accumulator offer are perfect for those idiot long shot odd scorecasts and accums.
