    Yes!!!! +1

    I always have money on here, but when I want a bet, I withdraw the amount I want to bet, and deposit it onto another site...............For the above reason.......

    I will be withdrawing a 10r from here again today for a bet at Newbury this aft.

    Just talking about the same thing!  So add my name to your petition hiandri

    Used skybet for the first time with some poker winnings and couldn't believe it wasn't guaranteed odds. I've already lost out on odds compared to my usual site this morning, so what's the incentive to switch here?

    Guaranteed odds should apply i agree with opening post :).I dont use sky bet for the failure of no guaranteed odds.


    On another website if you like a footy bet they was giving you your money back if the game ended 0-0 (only if it was live on tv).It would be nice if skybet had any special offers of this type of bet.

    +1. I rarely use Sky Bet because of incentives like this offered by rival bookmakers. It's a shame because i like Sky as an organisation and if they matched up i would have no hesitation in giving them my custom.

    Sky bet also do this thing where they don't offer best odds for any race with an extra place. They then proceed to offer extra places for nearly every race and the WORST odds imaginable, horses usually finish twice the price SKY offers, yesterdays winner @11/1 came in @22/1

    Plus every other bookie gives option of current price or SP, SKY only let you select SP after added to slip. So many times I wanted SP and selected place bet instead of updating, so sneaky.

    Had a lucky 15, 3 winners paid 110, would have got 450 with best odds.

    Best odds isn't so much the issue, the lousy odds to begin with are and the extra task to select SP

    All depends on what you believe is "sneaky". Some people would think that reviving a thread that has not been posted on for 11 1/2 years in order to multi-post is also sneaky.

    Sky are a business. Not only that, a business that is now part of a much larger business, Flutter.

    Do Sky add an extra place in order to get round "best" prices? Possibly. More likely to blur whether their price is truly competitive. No more than pretty much everyone else. Take the latest from a rival-stake returned if lose by less than a length.

    It is a business. And if you can get better prices elsewhere, then go elsewhere.

    I don't like the prices at Waitrose. So I don't shop there. I don't go on 1 of their websites and wave a virtual placard...

    I have to say that I don't like the extra place no best odds either.

    I rarely bet to place so the extra place means nothing at all to me.

    The lack of best odds definitely does.

    Yes I could bet elsewhere but I don't.

    @radzer02 earns 5 bonus points for being able to search for & find an 11.5 year old thread about Sky Bet odds.

    @radzer02 earns another 5 bonus points for being able to find a 4 month old thread about Weekly Rewards payments.

    @radzer02 is docked 10 points for not being able to find three threads posted last week about the Rewards Payment being moved back a day this week.

    Can we call it a score-draw @radzer02?

    ZING.

    Nice comeback @radzer02

    To be fair, the Rewards Payments threads were all in Poker Chat, where they rightfully belong. They were all "stickied" too, to help folks find them.

    The Social Media Accounts of all of the SB&G Accounts were paused to reflect the sad events of yesterday, otherwise I'd have posted on there too.

    Post more mate, we just like to have a little fun to brighten the day, & I certainly was not mocking.
