Default Which book has the best live betting?

Currently I do use an online service but live betting isn't there strength...looking for feedback and recommendations from the SBR users! Who do you like and why?

asian books are best, even when they are strongest in soccer, they offered a lot from USA
12bet was great from the beginning of the month, but after few months they realized that this is not the way to make money, i was taking away max payouts every day
now the best from asia is probably 188bet or sbobet, but i have not tested them deeply and i lost there all - so i can not say about payouts and i am not sure if they take US customers

decent are UK bookies - ladbrokes, Bet365, WH so so, but they limit you fast, same is Bwin, Sportingbet, Unibet - wide range, high juice, limits come fast

pinnacle is universal low juice, and betfair of course must have for soccer and tennis

even UK bookies start now with live betting more and more - bodog has many games live, but the bets suck, since they have /had/ just few live props and i am not fan of them, but greek offers nationally televised foots and now even cris have both NFL and NCAA, limits for NCAA suck though... and of course they have MLB live; wsex is good, but only if they pay and if you are familiar with the horrible share system, but lines start as -108/-108 which is not bad

overall, bookies targeted for USA are weakest with live betting, but i bet we will se change soon

once again, what is their juice at live betting? and what do they offer? spread, ML and totals?

now i saw also 5dimes offer decent live betting with 20 cents lines and even alt lines, but their software simply sucks and for live it sucks twice

I would recommend against the asians (and against bodog, that's not even true live betting), because the asians don't play fair. They manually approve wagers you ask for and take their sweet time doing so (there may be an exception that I don't know about, but the biggest ones do it) which means they get to freeroll you for a variable number of seconds, usually 5-15. Bet Phoenix seems to have lines up reasonably often, so if their limits are large enough for you that seems like a fine place to begin if you're USA-based.

Thumbs up Matchbook

Matchbook for live betting is a must out. I was able to get out of my loser Charger bet by taking Denver during the game.

matchbook still the best --- noone has mentioned wagerchief, great live and everything else. i have not made a withdrawl yet, but i am sure it will be as good as everything else there,bonuses-live betting-free 1/2 point(thurs and friday),fastest 1/2 time lines i've ever seen-and 2 great guys running the place. had 1 minor problem to do with free 1/2 point, which was handled with a phone call with a generous interpetation of the problem by management in my favor, very generous of them.

Matchbook is great, it depends on the live game as far as liquidity. For example, yesterday the Cubs/Astros game had almost no one betting it but the Boise State/VT game had great liquidity especially during breaks. All things considered Matchbook is still the best for live betting.

-If there is some danger play in the game ( like : corner kick , free kick, penaltie or booking ) bookie must delay the time for bet to be accepted.
-Wager can not be accepted if from those "danger situations" some things happen like goal or red card or penalty.
-If the "danger situation" is over your bet is accepted.
- So thats the way it goes...
