After some recommendations for betting sites lads.Been with Ladbrokes for a few years but since they’ve brought back their Ladbrokes Lounge I can’t scroll up and down and basically can’t do anything on it so gonna bin it.
Know that they’re all pretty much the same but looking for something that’s more user friendly and got different features.Pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Happy Betting

Personally think Betfair is the best. Especially if you’re not backing favourites.
Yeah, Betfair. I stuck £50 on a random favourite on Wednesday - first bet since Cheltenham - came in at ⅘
Nice Granto. Had had an amazing few runs in the 4 months before lockdown. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle
Bet 365 is decent enough. You get a free bet of your first deposit up to £100 iirc which you can lay on 365 if you’re savvy enough

Stating the obvious here but they’re all cunts. I worked with a guy who used to be a senior network engineer for Betfair, he had some interesting anecdotes.
I read about a case from last year were a punter won a million quid on an accumulator with bet365 and they refused to pay out.
Ended up settling out of court but it dragged on for years. I reckon this kind of shit goes on all the time but most people don’t have the tenacity to take them on.
Yeah read about that. He’d self-excluded or something and they said his bet wasn’t valid. They were more than happy to take the money off him all the way

‘McCann’s statement of claim alleged Bet365 and other leading online bookmakers habitually engage in “unconscionable practices” when dealing with their customers, and that they actively discriminate against shrewd punters who are able to make their betting pay. Many successful punters find it almost impossible to get their bets accepted and their accounts are either closed or, more usually, restricted to stakes of £1 or less. As a result, some are known to resort to using “clean” accounts opened by family members, friends and acquaintances to place stakes on their behalf.’
Fuckers. This reminds me of the Ryanair scratch cards, if you win, you don’t get the money, you just get an ‘opportunity’ to win the money, you still have to pick 1 envelope from 125 others to get the cash.
Aye. Just look at the amount of profit these firms are making now. Tells you all you need to know really.
It’s telling how many shops have gone since the law changed on the amount you could place a single bet on the machines in the bookies.
Have a mate who would do thousands on them. Grim

Liverpool to win 3/1 on Betfair. Ton on.
£20 on Fabinho to score 1st at 75/1.
Probably not the best £120 I’ve ever spent
Had £30 on Sheff Utd/Spurs draw and a Liverpool win at 12s. Reg.

545 wetherby ‘proschema’. It’s 5/2 at the minute. Haven’t had a tip from this fella for ages, so hopefully his confidence is spot on.

Betting companies are such cunts. I hope the High Court rules in his favour and I hope even more it was a complete glitch and fuck up
