Top marks to William Hill,as they seem to have refunded the stake on my Ashleigh Barty ante-post US Open bet,even though I can't find the credit listed in my account.

'Bit specialised,but today I notice that the Betfair exchange betting on Osaka v Anisimova [women's tennis-Aus open] is bet 1.36 Osaka lay 1.38.I decide to jump into the hole and try to lay Osaka at 1.37 for £140.When I do that,bets for £320 to lay Osaka appear.Don't know whether the other £180...

It's a sad time for most bookies right now,due to the lack of sport to bet on.Ping your bookie to check that they are still around.BMR,any chance of checking if Asianodds are still there ? Since posting this,I did get replies from...

Hi,BMR. These people seem real enough that they at least deserve some sort of a rating.How about it ?

I emphasise that I cannot verify this,as I am UK-based and so cannot have an account with SBObet and cannot see their odds when logged in.However,I am effectively informed by betting agents that at least some of their logged-in odds are shorter than the odds shown before logging in.I can see...

The tech that bookies had that tells them when a quote is above the industry norm seems to have been updated in an annoying way.Sometimes you are told 'we are updating our odds',and sometimes you are offered the bet but at reduced odds.Anyone else come across this ?

Betfair have made me some alternative offers including a basic plan offer of 2% commission - which I accepted.There's always the chance of premium charges in addition if I win - but still,it's very good value.

Anyone given them a try recently ? I had stopped bothering with them due to low liquidity,but they appear to have some now - at least on tennis matches.

Joshua hit Ruiz,but when he attempted a follow-up he got nailed on the counter.Ruiz managed to corner Joshua later in that round and landed another huge blow.A couple of quiet rounds followed,but Joshua was unable to recover properly.He could throw punches,but was too vulnerable when taking...

The betconnect platform aims to match 'pros' with 'punters'.Punters have the option of matching bets from pros or following them.My early take is that the system- if it works as it says it does - is too heavily weighted against the 'pros'. The odds that the pros are requesting have to be...

BMR,is there any chance of bringing the alphabetical list back ? If we want punters to use the ratings,it would help to make that easier. Sorry,after writing that,I discovered that you can get an alphabetical list within each rating by clicking on the arrow to the right of sort by under ratings...

I saw some liquidity on Smarkets on an odds comparison site for a bet I wanted today. I doublechecked it on their site - this was after 9pm on a Saturday evening.Opened an account - had to fund it - then tried to place the bet - only the liquidity wasn't there.

Yesterday,I went into a Paddy Power shop to try to bet Huddersfield to finish bottom of the Premier League - having seen their internet odds of 11/4.[my internet account got restricted long ago].Was told the odds were 13/5.Went home,and saw the odds on the net were still 11/4.So either their...

That basically sums it up.They say it's indefinite until cancelled.I'm guessing that they are providing liquidity right now,but you could match bets with a friend inside their spreads.If the offer were to last until Wimbledon,it might be worth looking into [ok,yes,I share your scepticism].

Skrill appear to have just raised their fees for sending money to other email addresses [non-business accounts] from 1% to 1.9%.This fee is capped at a maximum of 20 euros.

Matchbook have started offering a lower rate of commission if you make an offer that later gets matched.I am guessing that their own housebots adjust odds based on those of other bookies,since it is unlikely that they have liquidity in all the leagues that they bet on.If you want to get a better...

Anyone know anything about these guys ? They say that they have a UK license.

This is just a bit sad.For some time,I have known my business was not exactly welcome at Corals.Even small bets attracted the attention of their trader.Yesterday,I received an email warning me that they were about to apply a dormancy fee to my account. So to avoid that,I...

New bookies spring up all of the time.Most don't last very long.Somebody has to give new ones a chance - it doesn't have to be you.If you do decide to try one,here's a quick checklist of do s and don'ts [others,please comment on/add to this list]. 1.Do read reviews and ratings on...
