Bet365 does not renew advertising.

I've never had a problem getting down a bet in Vegas. I've bet 2K parlays and 10K straight and never had anyone say anything?

I guess it's just how you carry yourself.

I asked about books that take ALT RL parlays and was told Bet365 was the place. I guess I'll have to re-tool my thinking about this shop.

For the smaller players bet365 is great. they offer a lot of variety and pay quickly. i have never heard of a slow pay from any of my friends that play there.

So because they stopped advertising here, they are no longer a good book?

Sorry, perhaps you just worded your statement incorrectly, but that is what you implied.

Bet365 has been a great book. No need to think that will change anytime soon. I am not sure what their advertising changes has to do with it in this case.

Really hate to hear this news.

Although they do lower limits to ridiculous limits at times, they are a very solid book with friendly customer service and a nice array of betting options.

The only book I have ever played at that
allowed Baseball parlays and round-robins
with same game Run Line and Total. Some
very unique offerings. I've always enjoyed
playing with them. I've always been pleased with the customer service I received. They
have earned my respect as a customer.

Fastest book I ever got cut at, down to 10% of original limits. Had I been dumping, they probably would have increased them. They put up too much stuff, and throw in that crazy in game betting and they are the ultimate candy store. But they told me, they are a recreational shop for blokes watching the tellie with a pint. That is not a FROG description. I tried and tried to get back to original, traders would have none of me. No, they would have 10%. Just not a frog friendly pond. FROG rating, Hamilton, which is about the amount I was allowed to bet. Best Wishes...OF

As a lifetime loser at this book I look forward to there in running football season to get a little back.

It is well known among blackjack players that for continued success you should not blow up a candy store. Seems like that's what you guys have been doing.

I lot of talk here about how a book afraid of sharps is bad. However, this post points out that the losers are the "lifeblood". So, DUH, everybody should stop acting so outraged that a book would wnat to attract this group exclusively.

Don't forget, a lot of the sharps are scammers too. The hunt (often in packs) for bad lines. How many sharps avoid the nickel or dime limit on props by having three or more accounts at a book. Railbird cried about being only allowed to bet $50. Boo hoo. As long as they pay, this is all that matters to 99% of the players (especially the suckers).

A REAL book is one that pays you when you win.
