Why as the biggest bookmakers in the world took  45billion in bets last year,(yes BILLION) stop giving  pricewise early prices when you look at  Pricewise record  over the last 18 months. very, very poor.ONE reason horse racing is only 1% of there business I was told. Very hard to believe that.

I would not surprise me when the UK only represents 3% of their revenue

Pricewise is an outdated concept, and very annoying for people who have already done some work and picked the same selection.

Restict anyone who has a clue on the horses  to safeguard their other " 99% "
Not only that when your restricted because of the horses they then restrict you on everything else so if you did want a five fold on the footie  your also restricted to penny's on that as well, I could say what a ridiculous business model but when they are that successful that would be silly would it not ?

they have the asian market monopolised, they simply co-exist with uk punters who cannot get a shilling on with them to get a gambling licence from the inept gambling commission

I assume the Chinese roulette and slots losses are astronomical.

I very rarely stick up for a bookie, but ***365 I'm a fan; no gimmick but has always honoured my winnings (not often) and withdrawals without a quibble. Personally, Pricewise is a con...nothing but a bookies' mouthpiece, and the individual who pedals it; out-of-date,...a pied-piper version of horse racing. It's also a good tool for managing risk on one's antepost bets.

Bookies can exclude Pricewise and any other promotions permanently in exchange for taking horse racing bets, and obliging withdrawals without impediments.

Chinese punters do not take kindly to bookies who welched on winnings and withdrawals. If so, the bookies' business will be doomed and licence withdrawn without a moment's notice, I'm certain of that.

So they honour your winnings and give you your money. Talk about damning with faint praise!

so steve palmers golf results have been off the scale for the last 2 years yet last week he has an e/w treble which would win nearly £460k with b365, i know next to nothing about golf and i wouldnt be allowed much more than 5p on the same bet, palmer even got given a free £25 bet by them, you couldnt make it up

Head and brick wall spring to mind Rider it's a them and us scenario and them are treat extremely favourably that's why there's a wall of silence from journos,media,tipsters,etc.etc.
An owner who sounds a decent guy came on here last week telling us he gets 3 figure sums on the night before @ BOG (his horse won @40/1 took 14s day before) and won 74K in one pop and didn't get restricted,nobody has ever questioned how all the horse racing people have been getting silly money on for years with priviliged info and we get F ALL it stinks of shyte.

so palmer picks another big winner 110/1 with b365 on the golf but according to some on social media the 110 wasnt laid, i'm confident steve got what he wanted and hence his great respect for the firm..

They still cant explain to me why their Live Video is 7 secs slower in Edge and chrome than it is in Internet explorer (for all sports). Took them 4 weeks to get back to me and all that happened was they blocked the streaming URL (https://extra.bet365.com/streaming/en/)site from being accessed on Internet explorer.

Laugh

And they make completely laughable adverts that would suggest they like winners going with their fancy.

Bet 365, as well as dropping their Pricewise guarantee, also seem to be less aggressive at pricing races in general. I have no figures to back that up but it is the impression I get from looking at the ante-post markets. Have they been had over lately or just recruited a new big cheese from one of the traditional firms?
