Skybet odds compilers

edited August 2011 in Betting Chat
Having looked at some of the odds offered on skybet i have come to the conclusion that they must look at the oppositions odds and then move theirs in a point, eg if paddy power offer 10/1, then sky offer 9/1, this is the case so many times that sky's odds are worse than their market competitors. Surely they can match the best of the other big bookmakers, use that as a selling point ''we'll match any odds that our main competition offer in any sporting event'' Another example is their either/or bets. An example of this today was they offered 9/1 if mickelson or woods wins the golf so if you put £1 on and one of them wins you get £10 return, but at the same time they were offering them both up as singles at 20/1, work that one out lol. My last gripe concerns tournaments where semi finals and finals are played on the same night, Sundays being particularly apt for skybet. They will offer odds on the semi finals, but no odds on the final, you just cant bet on it, an example of this is the darts last week, punters could not have a bet on the final. End of rant!!!

    Yeh, Skybet really are a bit rediculous with their odds. I think it was Southend I was looking at backing to win League2, The boss at work had the odds checker up, Skybet gave 16/1 and Will Hill were 28/1! Thats a huge difference.

    The trouble is all my betting / poker money is all in Sky, maybe next time I cash some out I'll put it direct onto a different site for just sports bets
