Have an account with PP but getting sick of them. Their golf odds are crap for starters

Lone Shark as regards the NFL do ladbrokes allow doubles on 1st TD scorers?
PP dont for some reason

Resolved now. Within an hour that'll be sorted and it will be allowed. No idea why it was the case initially.

As regards PP's money back stuff, obviously I'd be some miserable hoor to give out about something for nothing, but I will say this - they are chosen so as to get maximum media coverage for minimal payout, and usually are long term bets which a lot of people don't have the patience for. When it comes to the live soccer matches etc., your refund will always be on markets like correct score, first goalscorer or other such markets where they have around 30% margin or more written into the prices. Not for years have they refunded a bet on a team to win the match.

Obviously this is coming fom a point of view of a company that does not engage in these things at all, so I'm not trying to claim the high moral ground here, but instead point out to punters that it is rare that such offers give you real value. It shouldn't really be a factor in your decision making process in terms of who to bet with, I'd still recommend price and price alone be the criterion.

Well, When a bookie thinks a 2 way outcome is has a 50 50 chance of happening they go 5/6 and 5/6. 2 odds on prices and only one winner.
Maybe beyond you though as you said yourself.

Thanks for working that out don

Two 5/6 shots are indeed odds on & it is a 108% book (but you probably knew that) which is fair enough. If you know enough work out the % for the All Star odds & post them. You will see the punters are being made out to be mugs.
I will do it if you are having problems

Is the Ladbrokes web site down tonight? I can't get into it at all. I can get every other fecking bookie but Ladbrokes have a fecking money!

I've just logged in and out - no problem.

Lecale2 · January 18, 2008, 08:02:04 PM

Feck that! I'll take Aristotle Flynn's advice and hold on to my money.

I see today in the Racing Post today that Ladbrokes are not paying out on trappatoni as the next rish manager

??

explain that one, he had a press conference, waving an irish scarf above his head etc.... are they hoping he will die before the first match so they wont have to pay ?
