    Jump in and say skybet is the worst anyway........... pages never seem to load, then the price will change a minimum of twice before you get on.

    Try stick it out. Everybody says that after their first time :pac:. Just throw a few small stakes here and there to try get a feel for it. If you want your gambling to pay off you're better off using betfair as you'll usually get the price on there. For instance, in the Utd match today at half time Utd were 6.8 (I think) while with the majority of bookies they were 5.5ish

    Betfair Mobile is a simple and easy option at times

    Betfair, hands down.

    I barred myself from it a month ago after losing 6 months winnings in an afternoon. Really wish i hadnt now, betdaq is all im stuck with. And its a bit of a joke!

    What is betfair mobile like?

    I'm on vodafone and I find using the internet on my phone to be very tedious. I downloaded the gmail app but could never get it to work. I suspect the same could happen with Betfair Mobile.

    Stan James are pretty decent with regards to in running prices, Ladbrokes, although some of their prices are off they do offer live football streaming. Bwin is prob the best, bet365 not far behind.

    Betfair is the best.

    Up to the final whistle and the market adjusts quicker than the conventional bookies.

    Betfair Mobile is Very good.
    Gmail application works on socket and wont work on Vodaphone. Download Opera Mini 4.2 and get your gmail on that.

    Betfair Mobile will work on vodaphone bit better on Meteor.

    He/she asked for an online bookie not a betting exchange.

    In that case go with sbobet.com or 188bet.com, two Asian bookies who I've been told never limit winning accounts.

    They bet in running on almost every game on the planet it seems, including all League of Ireland games, under 19 womens international friendlies, English conference reserve matches, Russian reserve games, Turkish U18 just to name a few!

    My favourite part of betting in running with them is that you can always bet on who will win the rest of the match, despite the score at the time you place the bet. If the remainder of the game is a draw, then you get your money back (bet void). The odds in-running update instantly so you always know what you're getting. If the game is not on TV, there may be up to 2 minutes of a delay before you're bet is accepted but that's just to ensure that you haven't heard of a goal at the game before they have.

    So if you bet on a team to win that's 2-1 up in the 85th minute only to draw 2-2 you get your money back?

    Sounds too good to be true..

    No, you bet on who will win the rest of the match. As if the score was 0-0 when you placed your bet and only goals from then on count for the purposes of your bet.

    The example you gave would be a 1-0 loss for the rest of the match.

    BIR on the LoI is growing fastly enough. You go to any ground over the weekend and you'll easily spot 2 or 3 foreigners on their mobiles for 90 mins updating these firms. During the pre-season I was at a Shels-Kildare County friendly in Newbridge, there were no more than 40 fans and there were 2 Asians giving updates to the betting sites. Betting in running on Shels games is something that I'm going to try get involved in.....
