In my opinion still 'Sport Bookie Online' (S B O B E T) is alltogether the most useful asian online sportsbook (with great live betting, and many asian lines per game, also half time bets).

More easy to use are 188Bet and Mansion88 as they accept Moneybookers and/or Neteller.

Then there are books like Canbet/IASBET or also Bet1128 which copy lines of original asian books (Canbet from S B O B E T and Bet1128 from IBCBET). The advantage (at least in the case of Canbet) is that they are known to be solid and pay. The disadvantage is that they offer less lines then the real asian books.

Finally also books like Pinnacle and even TheGreek have more asian soccer lines with higher limits than before, even if their offer is still not as good as the offer of real asian books and the limits are lower. But I think especially Pinnacle has improved recently.

Actually these 2 comic books are the hottest selling books in Asia right now. "Hating the Korean Wave" and "Introduction to China" hope this helps JJ !!!

Their part of BetonSports Plc family of books, so that should pretty much tell you what they are like based on the previous history IMO Scorpion.

Where would you rank BetFair or Samvo on your list Kiwi?

no lines, nothing

BetPhoenix has a lot of Asian action.

Spike Spiegel · 12-02-2007, 04:54 AM

Too risky to play at asian books imho. Even the big ones already disappeared with customers money. Also the agent system for depositing is dubious. Better stay away...

From current asian books SBO looks the best to me (best references) but still I wouldn´t risk to play there.

Of course Betfair is very good. But JJ asked for asian books. Concerning asian handicap betting Betfair has nothing to offer as these markets don't have liquidity. Especially since Betfair raised the commission for AH bets from 1% to the normal 5%.

The best exchange for asian handicap soccer betting is Betdaq. At the moment the commission for AH-markets is 2% only.

Concerning Samvo there were rumors that they have something to do with AsianOdds & Game2bet who disappeared some years ago (they also closed the account of a bettor who asked some questions about the similarities between Samvo and these old books). So I really never trusted them but I cannot say for sure that it is risky to play there.

I cannot garuantee for any sportsbook that it is reliable. But so far I have done many withdrawals from 188Bet without problems. When I made the first withdrawal there were some problems as they wanted to have copies of some documents and were very pedantic saying they couldn't read the documents good enough. But finally after they had accepted the documents the next withdrawals went fine.

Their limits differ depending on the event and the betting typ (higher limits for bigger events compared to smaller ones and higher limits for AH bets compared to 1X2 bets). But you can place more than 10000 Euro per bet for big events with AH odds. Also the limits increase toward the start time of the games.
