Ok ive had a gutful of Sportsbet, today was the final straw with their depositing issue.
Tried to back Sunlight straight after barrier draw at $10.50 (11 boosted). Tried to deposit 100, didnt work so i did it again. Same thing, Checked my bank, 200 gone. I send a message to live chat, get a message they are having issues with placing bets and depositing. Fair enough. Once the issue was finally sorted, i go to back Sunlight, odds are into 9. I messaged them asking for the odds that were available when i tried to place the bet.
They didnt want to know about it, asked for someone higher up and got dumped from the chat.
Called them up and told them if they arent going to come to the party in some way i will be closing my account. They said sorry you feel that way catch ya later.
So then i try to withdraw my 200, nope cant do it because i havent turned it over. Spend another 5 minutes on chat to get that withdrawn.
Then i check my emails tonight, 20 bonus bet there. Now if they had of just offered that in the 1st place it wouldve made up for the short fall in the odds decreasing. Shit customer service.

so what is the best betting site besides them?

Yeah. Its fairly simple, if i can use it, you can.

You dont have to worry about the laying side of it if you dont wish.

Not sure about future markets on races.

Generally market runs about 103%.
So odds are generally better than TAB and corporates.

Dutchy would probably explain it better.

I always end up back with Sportsbet, they piss me off from time to time and we break up, they're easy to get your winnings out and now they're offering top tote exotics it makes it hard to go elsewhere.

A couple of years ago I won $1500 on a trifecta in Shat In on a Sunday, I took $1400 out on the cashcard and then the next day I went to have bet and my account was -$650, apparently there was a mix up on on the numbers or protest or something and they paid me out incorrectly.

I rang them to sort it out as I thought any money I put in there they'll take it off the debt, they cleared it as I said I just wont use them again.

Unfortunately I think they are head and shoulders above the rest despite their occasional stuff up, I do like Ubet but besides the gallops their exotics are shit atm due to their outlets and pubs being shut.

Use Sportsbet for form but place your bets elsewhere?

I use Sportsbet for my betting atm but keep ubet open to watch the races.

I often use Sportsbet in my form assessment, but will bet with whomever has the best price or promo (which is usually still Sportsbet anyway)

Haha, i have calmed down a bit today and after perusing a few sites last night it looks like ill have to swallow the pride and go back.
They seem to be best for promos, although their powerplays have become very stingy in the last month. Im sure they wait for you to use your powerplay and then immediately put the normal odds of that horse up to or higher than the powerplay price you just locked in!!

I once fleeced some small betting agency of 900 bucks. They banned me, was something to do with multis, they wouldnt let you put say $20 on to win 20k, THey simply wouldnt approve it but if you put the same bet on for $5 4 times it would go through, they got sick of me and banned me. anyway i had a win of 900 at the time they suspended me, there was an issue with paying me and i ended up being paid twice.

Laddies and Neds were the fist to rip the guts out of the Powerplay/Boost function, then a while later Sportsbet followed suit. Beteasy still kicks the price up a bit, but then their fixed odds are virtually always worse than anyone elses so they finish well in front.

Sunlight currently $10.50 on the Fair, wouldn't bet anywhere else for racing.

Only decent Aussie bookie is Topsport, they have Sunlight $10 or $11 with a boost (which they will never take away, unlike others)

My mail is there were other issues at plat for Sunlights last run, lets just say punters blaming the wide run for its demise is exactly what they wanted. Big cover up.
Completely ignore that and assess on overall ability, im prepared to find out at 10 or11's

I don't think you'll go too far wrong boxing 1-4 and possibly adding the 8 for exotics, I would've rather have seen Oliver come over to ride Order of Command though.
