How's this for a bet :-

Chelsea vs Blackpool

Chelsea to win both halves - 23/20 (bwin). Great value, surely. This is as short as 1/2 elsewhere.

Never in a million years will that come in. Tasty top 4 title challengers playing each other in a huge 6 pointer will be a great test for Blackpool.

They will probably let you put 45p on that.

Fucking hell that is strange. Never heard anything like that before.

[TFFP]

I see their game. They want people to deposit 200 quid, take their 5% cut and then limit them so they can't do any damage...then they fuck off of Bwin's site.

I remember it well It was the first Rafa/Federer FO Final in 06 I think it was and I wanted £50 on over so many games and they only let me put three quid on Then I tried putting other bets on and same thing, sent an e mail and they just said this can happen from time to time and they limit customers to what they can bet with. FUCK ME THERE IS LIMITED BETTING THEN THERE IS TAKING THE PISS.

[BIG WORM]

500 vpoints on sexton to do Chisora

[djoc175]

They can bollocks then. Shame, it looked a half decent bet. Best elsewhere is 4/5 with Skybet. They're a bookie who seem to occasionally price things up out of line with other firms. Boxing especially.

[TFFP]

Yeah Skybet and Sporting Bet do odd things for boxing.

Bet365 are middle of the road type of thing...but I like them...I'm loyal because I like their inplay markets and site, they're way ahead of everyone else in that respect and I've done well there. I could probably be doing better elsewhere but ho-hum.

I'd say Boyle offer some of the consistently best odds of the bookmakers apart from Sporting Bet who are probably new and trying to get punters in.

3 bastard quid Only time I heard anything like that was some youth telling me that somebody had their account limited so that they could only bet up to a £14 profit (hence me asking you if you'd cleaned up)

I'm loyal to Boyle. If you create an accumulator (football) on oddschecker I find that Paddy Power and Boyle are usually at the top end.

I'm going to try and contact Steve Claridge maybe through the BBC Football League Show and ask for some thoughts. Shame he hasn't got a column in the RP or anything, Ray Houghton is poor.
