Does anybody know who has the best online account offer at the moment, been stitched up by skybet >:( so i have closed my account (not a sore loser they have been rubbish). I only do small football bets so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can highly recommend Betfair.com

and I am not just saying that because I work there. Far better than Ladbrokes, Hills etc. Betfair is the world leader in betting exchanges.

I have never had any probs with Ladbrokes, and you can combine online betting with your casino accounts too :D and now you can even collect your winnings at your local shop if you feel the urge. Highly Recommended. I would stay clear of william hill - they were terrible when i used them a couple of years ago.

Ive been using coral and they have been great. There is an offer going around that if you Put £10 in your account, place a bet and they put another £10 in there. It worked for me.

Regards,
:p:p:p D-I-C-A-N-I-O :p:p:p

I use www.sportingodds.com

They usually have good offers for new members when there`s a big midweek footie game on.

Betfair?
Last week they cancelled peoples bets on a one day cricket match because THEY forgot to suspend it! India won but all the customers got were emails from them saying that its not fair on everyone else! So if you do play with them, be aware that they can (and will) do this at there leisure!
You are warned!

I actually logged on to ladbrokes once and was able to put a bet on race that had already been run. And i got to keep my winnings :D

Betfair is not actually a bookmaker, so the bets had to be voided in fairness. Betfair are not actually taking on punters liabilities, that is down to a layer to do. If they let the market stand, then layers would have been on the phone screaming. It was a total no win situation

What a load of **** .Just the response youd expect from a bookmaker and stranger still when the match was suspended while it was IN RUNNING and NOT pre match. They just did it and expected all the people who had bought and sold at bigger and smaller to stand it. I now know 6 people who said that they have sent emails to yr company saying just how unfair this was, (email addresses can be provided at your request) two of them said they just sent abuse cos this was so unfair and more probably didnt even complain at all.
YES it is unfair if this is pre match but IN RUNNING is at the backers/layers risk or "caveat emptor" but on this occasion.....you changed the rules. If you can find a fair way of explaining that, id like to hear it. The words goalposts and move come to mind.
Your company provide the best prices no question........but the service? leaves a lot to be desired.
