Free £5 Grand National bet to increase their customer base for new accounts.
Took them about 6 days to then send you log in details, which didn't work ..offering a £25 matched bet.
A week after placing that matched bet im still having to chase them for the free bet to be credited. Takes them 2/3 days to reply to an email and then they ask .."what email address did you set the account up with?, surely they know this as you have to  email them the original bet reference number  ...eh!!
Also read some nightmares about them at Stoke F.C.where they didnt have money to pay out winning bets, told customers to come back at half-time when the staff had disappeared.
Sounds a very shady business.....avoid !

Official betting partners for the Football League, Newcastle, Sunderland, Fulham and Rangers.

One of their reps gets a slot on Keys and Gray every day.

They had two boxes at Aintree right next door to Fred Done.

Maybe they were comparing notes.

well it doesn't work very well - I listen to more hours of TS each day than is good for me (turning off for adverts every time) but have barely heard of them.

(is there any person who can bear the ads on commercial radio? they are without exception excruciatingly bad.  I wonder why they do not know the harm these ads do to their listening figures)

Is this run by the guy who was doing that sports betting show on channel 498 - Nigel someone ? He was always on there with a scotsman who looked homeless blurting out utter rubbish week after week ?

these things NEVER work long term.ive been there,done that with betbrokers and others like them.it starts all fine and dandy as these brokers seem to have arrangements in place where the major firms lays them decent bets (god knows why when they wont lay joe public a score)slowly but surely the brokers will start to get knocked back and eventually told where to go...its at this point the brokers start coming back to you saying "we didnt manage to get you 200 @6/1 but we got you 25 @average 7.2" not worth the hassle/risk imo.i was one of the ones who lost money with betbrokers.

Have been (trying) to use them for about a week to see if I can get occasional prices from WH, VC, C, SJ. I have only managed to get one price that was widely on offer from the above-mentioned online bookies. Clearly they aren't able to get the top prices or simply don't pass them on. Also factor in the 3% commission! Not for me either.
