Yep, Canbet/IAS is a solid book. I predominately use them for Ponies. Not bad for Football, dime line for bases too.
P.S While we're on the subject, how come Canbet are an A- book, but IAS is a B. The same rank richcoastsports were?

IAS should be the same rating, exact same book with racing added. I will make some calls.
IAS and Centrebet have impressive Euro racing books

Actually Colin Tidy's Betchoice(.com) might be of interest to a connoisseur such as yourself JJ. Traditional "old school" bookmaker, learnt his trade standing at the rails of the local track, makes his own markets etc etc. Just making a concerted push into the online market. Quite often find lopsided lines there. Juicy dogs, beat Pinnacle - at times.
Offerings/Markets to date could be considered slim (by his own admission), although adequate, due to constraining legislation where he is located. Moves have been made to relocate his offices up beside IAS/Canbet where the legislation allows for greater product offerings. Just silly bureaucracy re: online markets in NSW. The building he is currently located in does not have the proper designation or something ridiculous like that (as opposed to Bill Hurley for example). Either way, the move is expected to be completed in the next month or so. As a reward to customers he is offering 20% sign-up bonus, up to $1,000, 1x rollover. Must be CC deposit though, but with juicy dog lines, increased markets and one hell of a nice bonus, definitely an out worth considering IMO.

Just checking the site now JJ, can't see anything that says they don't, I have to assume they do. As with most other Aussie books, i don't think they give a monkey's. Try it, if they give you any hassle give me a shout here and i'll give them a bell, see what's up.

One other thing, they do have a warning on the site re: the bonus and "Professional Gamblers" as they call it. I'm assuming they're taking about Bonus Whores and/or scalpers. So just be warned, they'll get cranky if they think you're a scalper. As do most books these days i suppose. Not that you are, just so you know.
