well the sportsbet multi's are now in action and there are no words to correctly describe how unprofessional sportsbet admin are.

I worked out my own multi and was just curious to see how much they would offer. But with the tickets you cant get an 'enquiry'. I spoke to a sportsbet admin guy and he was trying to tell me how to work out multi's to which i told him i knew. he then tells me that 'we have moved on from that', personally i think its a backward step because to get an enquiry you have to put an actual ticket on and then cancel it if it isnt what you want and you only get 2 mins to do that. I then told him that with previous multi's offered by sportsbet the majority were 'unders' and i told him that due to that i invest through other accounts.

sportsbet dont seem very user friendly service, i mean what sportsbetting agency doesnt have multi betting from the start?

god knows who is running the show but i dont think they could run a chook raffle!!!

thats my experience with sportsbet and if there are other people with the same or even positive views please share.

I dont bother with Sportsbet - I check their odds against Centrebet regularly but 95% of the time they are worse, sometimes significantly worse its a joke therefore they lose my business, not that it is a lot however if your going to punt you might as well get the best odds/service..

Can you clarify who you are talking about? Not the local ones? ie http://www.completesportsbetting.com..au or http://www.thorntonsportsbet.com.au

Just remember sportsbet.com.au is not the sportsbet that runs in Adelaide, I was with Centrebet for years but sportsbet.com.au is much better and I'll never go back to Centrebet after they screwed me once, true multis on sportsbet.com.au too.

Curly Seal http://www.completesportsbetting.com.au has a limit of $301 on multi's. I don't agree with that, then again, I'm not holding his bets. Maybe he got burnt once or twice on a big payout?

Was it the old Sportodds Wedgie? or the original centrebet? I was with Sportodds and found them excellent, even won $1000 from a losing ticket monthly draw! when they merged ive just continued on and have had no problems

talking about TAB SPORTSBET.

I have A SPORTODDS account and never had any trouble with them and have always received the correct divvies for multi betting.

On the local front Curly who says he is in the top 5 bookmakers in Australia is quite frankly a joke.
If he is in the Top 5 bookies in the land then why restrict multi's to $301. if a punter is good enough to get a multi up that is greater then that then good luck to them.

recently read a New Zealand punter cleaned up at the start of the year with a small multi and a punter with Mark Read started with $25 and went all up over 5 dog races and collected $53,175 in 30 mins.

Nah mate, always sportsbet.com.au as far as I know, when I was shopping around for a new bookie I had a look at sportsodds but they didn't have the same amound of things to bet on and odds didn't seem to be as good, sportsbet.com.au appealed to me in every way.

Have decided to do a multi bet for the first time and for the 7 legs I picked

Germany to beat Argentina in World Cup Football,
Italy to beat Ukraine within 90 minutes in WCF,
Brazil to beat France in WCF,
Melbourne to beat Port Adelaide,
Adelaide to beat Geelong,
Sydney to beat Fremantle and
West Coast to beat Western Bulldogs

and for a $20 outlay I will collect $183.60 if they all come through.
Think that this is good considering I haven't picked anything outrageous but obviously only one wrong kills the bet.
No doubt multi's will catch on even more in the future.
West Coast to beat Western Bulldogs

good sound bet however Im not 100% about West Coast...form has been ordinary and if Carlton can push them bullies should be able to put up a good fight, thinking of backing the bullies at the line...good luck

On the money there Dutch but that's OK as the bet was already gone when Brazil lost.
