Also feel free to add bad experiences with other agencies..

I would have to say that Betezy in my opinion is one of the worst. Their policy on withdrawals is a joke.

I think UNITAB is one of the easiest to use, but doesnt provide the options that the others do.

The one I use the most these days is Sportsalive.

In terms of ease of use and range of options I reckon Centrebet is one of the best I have used. Sportsbet.com.au is good also, but doesn't allow for Parlays which I think is imperative to have....

and I may add with sportsbet - they ask you not to take advantage of errors, and if you alert them to errors you will get a free bet. well ive done this on a few occassions and ive had received not even a simple thankyou. they are clearly the worst ive ever had, i think even Nancy at thorntonsportsbet is better

Yep terrible betezy.... Website is crap, customer service crap, and withdrawals are a joke - you have to have the balance there on a sunday night and they don't process it till Thursday. And I can't believe they can give you a $500 credit limit without even confirming your identity!?? I couldn't believe it when I got a credit limit before sending off my proof of identity....

We know you have had your issues at Sportsbet but most have had a great experience with them. They aint perfect, but no one is. One thing is for sure they offer the best promotions and free bets of any bookie by miles. They also offer the best SANFL service.

Also something Ive learnt is not one bookie will cover all your needs, there isnt one that is clearly the best for all betting options. Therefore its important to have a variety to ensure you have the best options and odds at your disposal, taking unders in this game will kill you.

Hence I have all of the above, except I havent gone down the Bet Ezy path yet.

Don't bother Dutchy!!!

I agree, I have had nothing but great customer service from Sportsbet. I love the live chat feature!! I know Sportingbet have it as well but I reckon a few others should implement it as I love it!

Ill also take the opportunity to plug our agreements with Sportsbet, IASbet and Centrebet.

This site costs close to $2k pa to run these days, and this is increasing all the time with its growth. We get some of this back via our association with these bookies.

So please if you are going to sign up with one of them please do so via our links in this thread or the banners on this site -

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=29539

Also if you have any troubles with these bookies (after signing up thru our links) I have contacts to help sort them out and I will offer any help I can.

Cheers

What is the difference between a boxed multi and a multi?

I only use Sportsbet and have never had an issue with them.

multi is you need all selections to win - eg 5 picks, they all need to win

boxed multi incorporates all the selections into doubles/trebles/quaddies/etc etc

also when having a boxed multi you can choose a selection to be a standout leg - so that needs to win for all the others to be alive.
