These betting companies seem to run a pretty tight ship, actually doing things on time.This will probably be the height of competition. BetFred pulled out their Australian division (which hadn't even fully launched yet) a few weeks ago because there is too much competition in the Australian market already.

hedaik Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 http://m.bbc.com/sport/tennis/30908551 Always joked with mates that if you could predict when a female tennis player has their rags you could make a fortune betting against them. Might have to see who Heather Watson is playing in a month. Dunno why a sports woman on good money wouldn't just use a contraception implant or needle to avoid it all together.

Even competing bookmakers were complaining about him saying he was making the industry look bad.The mistake he made is that he was almost too good at marketing his brand. It became too public, and that's where the issues arouse as it lead to people complaining about it appealing to minors to gamble etc., which put pressure on the government to further regulate the industry, which lead to other bookies being mad. Maybe it was tarnished to an extent, but all in all it would have been successful in that the brand was a lot more recognised and a lot more people would be betting with TomWaterhouse.com.

MaliMate Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Got on Unders in the Card Index in the Palestine-Jordan game, going to follow that Korean referee as he was timid as fuck, only yellow he gave was for the handball by the GK outside the box which he had no choice to. There were atleast 2-3 bookable challenges throughout the game that he didn't even call a foul for lol, maybe it's just because both teams were middle eastern and he wasn't as comfortable throwing out cards, looking at his history suggest so as he does give them out in K-League games. Am gonna see what game he gets assigned to next for the Asian Cup. Got assigned to China Australia. In for Unders card index. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Anyone else got the sportsbet cash card? I know a few people here use Ladbrokes as their preferred bookie, I assume the Ladbrokes card was the reason why. Really not much reason to bet with Ladbrokes anymore, sportsbet generally have better odds, better promos, more markets, better deposit/withdrawal methods (PayPal, great to move your money between bookies quicky), better customer service, and now a cash card as well.

theresonlyonebzamora Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Use Sportsbet quite a bit. Have been thinking of getting the card, but most of what I win now and again just stays in the account - I'm accustomed to not withdrawing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success, only handed out 2 yellows, would have been 4 or more with another ref I reckon, let quite a bit go yet again. Going to keep following this ref until the bubble bursts. Similar thing happened last year in the NBA, referee Eric Lewis had like a 20 game streak of games ending in Total Score Over because he just always calls rubbish fouls, stops the clock, give teams free throws.

carlings Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Had $10 on Sainsbury at $51 last night for first goal, went bloody close. Always a chance at set pieces I reckon.

HeartinHobart Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Think England are good value today. Around the $2.40. No Warner, Watson and Bailey. Also without Clarke and Johnson out of the best XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got on Tomic at the line in his last 2 games, had Serena yesterday @ the line. Got on Karlovic to beat Kyrgios though. I like Tomic -2.5 today @ $1.50.

Tesla Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Had $30 on Australia 2-0, got back $195. Think England are good value today. Around the $2.40. No Warner, Watson and Bailey. Also without Clarke and Johnson out of the best XI.Was thinking the same, put $30 on England. Australia still slightly more likely to win it IMO, but at $2.60 it's worth a go. Hazlewood also out FWIW, would also get a game here otherwise.Might interest you, BetEasy are doing the same offer they had on the first game - bet on Australia's top run scorer, get a matched bonus bet (upto $25) on Australia's top wicket taker. Pretty good offer, ended up winning both the bets on the first game so gonna play again for sure. Edited January 23, 2015 by Tesla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
