Has Bet365 taken over Bowmans ?

[jjgold]

no clue

[whbk2205]

Apparently yes. Their new e-mail address support@customerservices365.com clearly belongs to Bet365.

[Checkerboard]

I'm not 100% sure about any of this, but it looks at this point like B'mans U.S. players got flipped to bodog and everyone else got flipped to Bet365.

What about the 15% sinup bonus 365 suck Give me back Bowmans

[Yoshi]

Bye Bowmans, hi $10 max wagers

[sammyb]

no clue

Thats the only honest thing you have ever said on this forum JJ

[ttmopp]

You can now login... I seem to have the original B365 limits on my Bowmans account. But the traders are obviously the same B365 limiting traders so its not gonna last long..

New 'Bowmans' is just a Bet365 skin with a Bowmans label. Great

[jjgold]

Sad what happened to Bowmans, just goes to show any book now can just close up including Greeks. Pinny's Cris

[Yoshi]

lol you cant compare Pinny or Cris to Bowmans JJ...
thats just silly.

[jjgold]

Yoshi they (Bowmans) did big numbers for years and definately out performed Cris for years.

Right, Bowmans is done. Eventually users will be moved to 365.

[RickySteve]

So Bodog bought the US accounts and Bet365 takes everyone else and keeps the brand/URL?

[Seattle Slew]

What is the inside word on this? Seems to be a shocking development. Is this move simply because of the US legislation, or was Bowman's eying a buyout before?

[Mudcat]

I find this very sad. I feel all weepy and sentimental.

Bowmans was my first book way back when. Back in those days I was just a consistent losing capper phoning in my half-baked hunch bets - so why I would be sentimental about that, I don't know.

But it has an end of an era vibe to it.

Hi everyone well I guess some of us are still trying to figure all this our. I’m an EX BOWMANS…and have not clue how I’m going to get my money or if I can still wager with the money I HAD in BOWMANS.

I would kindly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on all the mess…any input ..would be helpful.

Thank You

I was a bowmans customer too since back in the days of calling in your wagers so i can understand the tinge of regret that others feel. To answer ontpunter's question. I actually had a withdrawal pending at bowmans when the change took place. All i had to do was go back in, go to live chat and give my neteller details to get my money and got it in 2 hours. All your money that you had at bowmans will be in your Bet365 account, and i made a small wager there just to test it out. I'm not happy about losing Bowmans, but i'll give 365 a chance....and hope that the rest of my experiences were as good as my first one. I've heard too many negative ones (limit cuts etc.) to not keep a wary eye on everything

Since I was in the US and was already out of Bowmans to Bodog I have already "mourned", but is still amazing that is book is totally done now. Amazing.

[Yoshi]

No surprise if you did bet MLB there...they kicked me out for betting into their soft totals, instead of getting a decent line manager that isnt asleep 50% of the time.
It wasnt like i was lurking for scalps, those soft lines have been there for 30+ minutes often.

I always thought bowmans is top, until i realized at that time that they are just an average book.
Blaming the bettor for a ton of soft lines is weak, very weak.

Bowman's was known as one of the safest places to have $$$.

Nice points, Cobra King.....But I'm just as impressed to see that there's somebody who continues to carry on the "Whale" tradition...Welcome to SBR.
