Online Bookie for UK/Irish Racing

Hi All

Can you guys suggest an online bookie that a South African can use, which allows us to get a price on UK and Irish Racing?

I have a Hollywood account, but don't like the "Open Win" option on some races. So would prefer a site where I can take a price instead.

I am aware of sites like Ladbrokes, bet365 etc, but not sure how easy it would be to deposit and withdraw from those sites for a resident South African.

Thanks in advance.

BetVictor accept custom from residents of South Africa and also allow you to operate your account in Rand, so I wouldn't imagine depositing/withdrawing would be a big problem.

Cheers mate. I will have a look.

are you sure?

sportingbet.co.za there is a banner on the site have prices on all uk races

All south african bookies offer prices infact at somepoint during the day

They certainly list Rand amongst the accepted account currencies on their registration page, so I assume there's no problem on that score.

Ive just checked their terms and South Africa is one of the restricted regions,that they wont entertain

Only their poker site is closed to SA residents, not their sportsbook. Click on their 'help' icon and then look under 'Can I gamble legally with BetVictor from my country?'

Hi Bob

Some South African sites keep it at "Open Win" and "Open Place" for some meetings. Not sure on the rationale, but I am considering my options as I prefer SP at the very least.

sportingbet offer prices for sure,usually from the night before or at leats 10am

I would say racebets.com are one or if not the best bookies for racing. Plenty ante-posts way ahead of time to get involved in and can get your exactas & trifectas on for uk racing. Playing in Euros or Dollars tho but worth it.

All the overseas bookies are shit if your a winner

All the overseas bookies are brilliant if your a loser

Racebets' odds are quite a bit below average in my experience and, as Bob says, they will limit you very quickly if you start winning.
