Bookmakers you hate.

Mine has to be Hills and Premierbet.
I've lost a fair bit with these two as they were the first one's I signed up to before I learnt how to win money.
I now want to hit them so hard but their odds are pretty crap most of the time so I don't really use them.

Hills without a doubt. They are the only bookie that I cant get even close to be in profit with.

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

None really, I made a profit out of all of them.

However, I do "dislike" Sporting Odds' pop-up and not being able to view it in firefox for some reason. Also I hate the fact that I can't open an account with Betfred, they want a copy of the front and back of my card - nevermind I was going to do it by moneybookers.

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

I LOVE ALL OF THEM --- ( when I win)

They are all much of a muchnes. Having been asked by some over the years NOT to use their premises ,it is unfair that I am put to aggravation to get around this.I am not on any mugshots on display for all to see (Atrainer told me I would be) BUT it is a form of victimisation - Ithink AND says alot about the people behind the companies .

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

all of them, they are scum sucking fcukers who treat losers with open arms yet turn into little bastards when you are a winner. I hate the way they deliberately push products with a high house edge for them and also the way they push ones with no skill in them so there can be no such thing as a winning punter long term at them (virtual racing, rapido etc). It REALLY gave me satisfaction to terrorise them in the fruit machine days.

Online in particular I hate littlewoods - playing fair and square and by their rules they cant take me winning like 100 quid and instantly ban me. Their manager refuses to reply to my emails SUCK MY BALLS LITTLEWOODS

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

They're all cunts. Only ever use Betfair these days unless there's a massive price difference on something I fancy. Even then I'm not too keen.

Ladcrooks are probably my least favourite. 1) Because they try to rip off the mug England fans the most with their scorecasts etc in the papers on the days England games. 2) They conveniently lost a winning bet of mine 9 years back. Miserly cunts. It was only Ģ14 too. I wish nothing but ill-fortune on anyone who has anything to do with them.

i went into L*dbrokes 2 days ago to place a fairly big bet on England and head office offered the 7/1 available on 40% of my stake and 6/1 on the rest

i declined politely and then went into Dones (literally next door) and got the whole bet on with no fuss - had i realised Dones were going 7/1 i wouldn't even have tried L*ddies as i'd just placed my layoff on Brazil there i'm sure it was 13/2 on their website

needless to say the big L were still going 7/1 the following day and probably still are.

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

interessting. I hate the bookers with only two or three pay in methods. Only moneybookers,neteller and some stuff.

Unibet is very unclear. Also Betfred, they have much serverproblems and you canīt connect everytime you want to the betsite.

Yeah, I've noticed that. Not been able to access my Betfred betting or poker accounts for awhile now. Just get the usual "try re-installing the software" bollocks from customer services." Fucking baldy cunt.

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

yes DMC, but you find mistakes in all bookers I think. Gamebookers have a bad live section, bet365 is unclear with elapsed bets , betandwin has too much customers the odds are down very fast and so on... Itīs important that you have your booker who credit you...

Re: Bookmakers you hate.

Logged on to Hills to check the live betting price on Portugal tonight when 1-0 up.
Odds of 1.02 while Betfair had 1.07. Neither was value as there was at least 55 mins of the game still to play, but come on 1.02

Anyone who is thick enough to place a scorecast thinking it's a good bet deserves to be ripped off for every penny they have. You can't blame the bookies for selling the "high margin" end of their product really can you.

I can understand people having a quid or to just for something to cheer on in the pub but a fool and his money are soon parted and you can't always blame whoever takes the fools cash.

Yeah, I can. I've held this grudge for nearly 10 years now. I'm not about to start getting reasonable.
