    Bet365
    It's been a good minute since I played a "sweetheart" teaser but over here in Cyprus the only offshore book that I'm allowed to play with is Bet365. Does anyone have the skinny on them? Are they legit? do they pay and don't stiff players? on college games, I can do a 4TM 13PT teaser at (-110)! no other offshore book comes anywhere near that price, not even A+ Heritage! (-125 or above at the very least)! on NFL games, I'll just stick with straight wagers and pay the customary (-110). Thanks in advance!

        been servicing canucks for well over a decade.
        were fine when I used them extensively 10 yrs ago, then I went pinny and s.i.a.
        still have an account there, just dont take the time to check in with them much anymore.
        I know a lot of canadians from the other site and on X still use 365.

          They are a great company. I've had accounts with them for many years, I got a wire payout from them about 3 weeks ago.

              They won't take a bet from me. They will limit you fast if you have the slightest clue which I'm sure you do.

                Really appreciate that tidbit! that is kind of what I was looking for! If that's the case, I'll just stick to my local brick and mortar book shops. Only reason I don't like playing with them is because they charge extra juice (20%) or (-120) standard on most games. (not all). Also an extra 10% commission fee which the house collects on all wagers placed! so in essence, the (-120) becomes (-130) or higher! Kind of like paying a luxury tax! Sucks ass! Bunch of greedy fukkin' bastards over here!

                  It's a tired old saying that Bet365 limits people to bets of $3.65.

                  That stuff stopped years ago.

                  Laker would not know how they limit these days as he hasn't had a usable account to see.

                  They will limit sharps the same as any book who has stayed in business long term, but unless you are doing stuff like only betting Lithuanian Volleyball live at the last second before markets close constantly, you won't be unreasonably limited usually.

                  I'd bet you last longer and with higher limits than most offshores if you are capping your own bets and not taking advantage of any angle to exploit the platform systems.

                    Nowadays they will limit you and if you keep betting they will close your account. Happened to me two months ago.

                          And... do you think you know what triggered that? Anything like what I described?

                          Bet365 is the largest book in the world. They have so many users that if they limited anywhere near as often as offshores always have, you would be able to find daily reports of how unfair they have acted. if they were limiting like the old days you would not be asking this question. You would know because so many people would be affected.


                          Search SBR. Search Reddit. It will become clear fast that I am correct about this.

                          But why don't you try it and tell us how it goes or not.

                            Winning, simple as that. Nope, not anything like you described.

                            They are doing even worse in Spain after Justice decided they cannot limit acccounts. Now they are simply closing winner's accounts claiming they suffer from ludopathy. LOL

                              Exactly, happened to me early October 2022 last year. I was betting the four major North American sports, no props or anything and no niche markets. Some pre-game but most likely live of the four major North American sports. They initially limited me to $20 sides and $40 totals. I would be more than happy to keep those limits but just like bruloc, after about a week of limiting me to $20 sides and $40 totals, they cut my limits to $0.00. Then just around three weeks ago, they won't let me log into my account now. I guess something on their systems end triggered that I had not made a wager on the site in a year. I never did anything malicious and I wasn't betting thousands of dollars per bet either.

                                Perhaps I should open an account in someone else's name (again) and see how long it takes them to limit me. It used to be about a week LOL. But honestly I did google it and a recent thread on reddit says it takes being up about $2500 before they limit you to $5. I must say though their site is the best for monitoring in play lines and offshore horse racing odds. Even though I can't play there they must wonder why I'm constantly using their site.

That's all I wanted to use it for, was to log in so I could set my favorites, etc. But as I stated, I can't even log into my account anymore. Also, I don't like how they changed the betting menu on the side there for their live stuff. They did this awhile back now but it was way better before imo.

                                    I was able to win over $2K after the limitation. Then I received an email saying about the closure and I wasn't able to log in to my account anymore. Two days after that they sent my full balance to my bank account.

                                      I use it without logging in, you can still see all the lines. But not for betting there as my limits are too low. I consider their lines the gold standard for live betting, and compare them to BOL, Bookmaker etc to find opportunities.

                                        Like I was saying, I like being able to log in so I could use the "Favorites" feature and organize the sports. I still use the site for line reading/referencing as I think it's the best site for viewing live lines, scores, etc. It's definitely a must book imo to have in your toolbox.

Does anyone have the skinny on them? Are they legit? do they pay and don't stiff players? on college games, I can do a 4TM 13PT teaser at (-110)! no other offshore book comes anywhere near that price, not even A+ Heritage! (-125 or above at the very least)! on NFL games, I'll just stick with straight wagers and pay the customary (-110). Thanks in advance!

                                                Well just wanted to let the forum know that I requested a high 3 figure withdrawal from BET365 the other day and the money was in my checking account/debit card 5 hours later! only took 24 hours to officially post to my bank account with no fees! Fancy that! Needless to say, I'm very satisfied, content, and happy with BET365 so far. Haven't been limited just yet. Knock on wood! but then again, I don't anything stupid that might draw red flags (like taking a shot a bad line) and have been keeping my wagering units in the 1 - 3 range. (See my picks thread for reference). Also I've never seen such fantastic prices on teasers (college sports only). The 7TM 8PT teaser that I hit yesterday paid (+425)!! To put that into proper perspective, I used the old 5 dimes teaser payout charts as reference (the gold standard in the industry). 5 dimes would have only paid (+295) for the same exact wager! and today I did a long shot lottery ticket type of play with a 10TM 8PT teaser with a price of (+1024)!! 5 dimes would have only paid (+640) for the same thing! Just like a sore dick, you can't beat it!

                                                  Right on I’m glad to hear that. They have been one of the better Sportsbooks when it comes to paying up. They’ll accept prepaid cards which is a big plus for a lot of guys. A lot of card companies will block your transactions now if it’s to do with Gambling.

                                                    Been using them for several years and had no problems.



                                                    Interac E-transfer is the best option imo.

                                                    You can get a withdrawal confirmed and an e-transfer email sent to you usual about an hr after you put the request in.

                                                        Quick question as B365 has been approved for my state. Does the legal US facing site offer the same diverse markets and live betting options that their euro version does? If so how quick are they to limit for both live and small market euro leagues? If they limit are they like the Bovada Betcoin etc $2 type limits or are they more reasonable like $50 or $100?

                                                          Bet365 is definetely a good one to have as an extra out

                                                            They will mostly be the same markets you see world wide but there will be some differences.

                                                            Each state has slightly different rules about what can be offered.

                                                            Many leagues worldwide require approval and/or a fee from books offering bets on their sport.

                                                            And just based on demand in that state.




                                                            Some people want to argue with me every time I say this. But Bet365 do not limit people to silly low amounts very often at all anymore. They seem to be quite liberal compared to their old reputation, and have been for years.
