Ladbrokes

This is my main bookie as there is only one shop in the town and that happens to be Ladbrokes.

One of the reason I like using them is because I can deposit money on my account in the shop and also withdraw any winnings in cash from the shop ( - there has been once or twice )

They aren't best for prices and only occasionally they will let their guard slip but they are usually as tight as a nuns chuff, they dont offer odds for the lesser bowling events which is a pain.

They do however cover the Aussie Leagues in the summer which is a big plus for me.

I think their site is one of the easiest to navigate through and you can find whatever you want very easily.

I've only had 1 or 2 problems with them but their customer services are spot on and have solved any issues straight away.

They can be very slow at paying out. Sometimes within seconds of the bet being settled other bookies will have credited your winnings back into your account. Ladbrokes dont seem to do this - some days are better than others

Bonuses - what bonuses Again tight as a nuns chuff

good stuff Kegs. I like them as they employ 'dirty looking women' and theyre the first bookies after i get off the bus into town. I think theyre doing a free bet of the now (rare i know but possible)

Does anyone know how to deposit by paypal on Ladbrokes? They give you the option but when you follow their intructions it's missing the 'pull-down) option it mentions.

Pros- Loads of markets, great odds on scottish football.

Really? They certainly weren't the best yesterday.

As Kegman says, they are the tightest outfit out there. They know they have a massively well known brand and it seems they are more interested in ripping off the clients that they have than increasing their fan base.

Kegman has hit the nail on the head. They have shops in every decent sized town in England and yesterday just highlighted that the world is still full of neanderthals (no offence mate) who are happy to take a lower price than they can get elsewhere and only get paid out for four places when they could easily get better odds, best price guarantees, money back on fallers, pay outs on five places etc etc etc.

While people continue to do that, they will thrive but at the expense of the idiots who are using them.

Here's a tip, take a look at next week's Sun newspaper or Racing post and compare the prices on the football to see how many games Laddies are offering the best prices on. Example, if you wanted to back the home team in any of the 41 games in England yesterday, Laddies were offering the best price (well, joint best along with five others) on just one of them.

To me they are like British Telecom and British Gas were.They are happy to squeeze the customer for every penny while the good times are here.

Hopefully, those times won't last forever.
