I would bet on Australia by far

UK second

Anyone else is a crapshoot and risky

Many others (from Europe) are so strictly regulated that they ban gambling except some mafian-monopoly firm.

Could there exist an more Australian name for a bookmaker?

[pags11]

really diamond?...and these guys have been in operation for a while?...good to know...

Yeah Centrebet was founded in 1992, and is one of my favorite books..great website, great customer service..a bit slow on neteller and moneybookers though, because they dont perform payouts in the weekend. But during the week they are superfast. They also always talk about their high limits, so worth a try I guess. I have been able to place large stakes at least for a long period, even as a winning customer.

And probably the only place im winning

[mad]

Yep, indoor plumbing and electricity next.

Australia is the only country that sportsbooks are required to have the players money of deposit 7 days a week. A marked-to-the-market procedure is done daily and sportsbooks are required to postup 100% of what they owe clients.

Well we should all be playing with Aussie books no matter what the juice is.

Canbet is a UK book - moved from OZ because too strictly regulated

[bigloser]

Centrebet may be UK now too, but not sure on this one

[tblues2005]

I think the UK looks like to me to be the most regulated.

I would never regard them as a UK book purely because they have a very "non-UK" approach to their risk and client base.

What do you mean?
Do you mean they dont limit you to $3.65 if you win a dime like bet365?

[magnavox]

Canbet is not under Australian financial regulation.
