Bookmakers taking 30+ seconds to accept in running bets?

You'd be mad in the head to bet them in-running without a pre-agreed timescale.

Slow count, we used to call it when I was a betting shop manager - now it's the
bookies that do it and not the punters.

Obviously if the gambling commission gave a f--k about anything other than money laundering and gambling addicts they would ban this practice.

name and shame

will hill is around 5 second delay

"around a 5 second delay"

It shouldn't be "around" anything - they should specify an exact number.

marathonbet are really slow, probably like 10 seconds

Agree Dave1357, Gambling Commission dont give a flying about players. They want to make money, money, money. Real players are there to feed them.

will hill now do in play horse racing on their self service machines, not sure what the delay is

People betting in running with bookmakers.......incredible.

The bets will probably have to be agreed by the traders hence the time. They should then offer the customer 5 seconds to accept
the bet once ok'd by the trader.

...and 5 seconds for the trader to accept the punter's acceptance...

slow count analogy the best

books wanted it a crime

The only thread on here without with out a Denzila sermon ?????????????

an edge is an edge, even at 10+ seconds

Just tried out a new bookmaker, placed a small sports bet at 2/1 and got accepted a minute later (when it was 4/1 on their site). Surely that's against the law.

Anyone remember Ladblokes in running prices on horse racing bout 8 or 9 years ago? ... an absolute bats**t crazy stevie wonder at the controls licence to print money ... while your account lasted, which wasn't very long admittedly but made a smallish fortune in a couple of weeks all the same.

Happy days!

is it me or has betfair sportsbook increased the bet placement times in the last few weeks? pretty sure they have for mma bets.
