Best online bookies for boxing?

Post by Emmseegee »

Who do you all recommend for betting on boxing?

I have been using Ladbrokes for a long time, im not a big gambler. Just a few quid every now on then on a correct round or accumulator but Ladbrokes doesnt cover a large amount of fights.

Curious as to where other people throw away their money. :roll:

I tend to use Paddy Power, although am not a regular gambler.

I dont mean for the best odds although thats obviously important too but who covers the most fights, gives the most options etc?

Ladbrokes is pretty poor.

I will give that a look, prefer to stick to the same site as often as possible instead of jumping around. Would be worth the hassle if i was betting big but a slight difference in odds wont make a massive difference with the kind of bets i make.

Use Oddschecker and compare to Betfair (factor in Betfair's % commission). Remember that with Bet365 they settle the draw as a refund - so if Bet365 are joint best priced - bet with them.

Ladbrokes seem to have more markets than any on big fights I quite like there decision bet they quite often have in bigger fights as in you have to bet on ud md ect. But for week in week out betting would either go with bet365 or paddy power both price up a lot of fights every week and and are normally fair enough with there prices would probably edge towards 365 as they normally price up without the draw and are still about the same price if not better as the others but obviously if a draw comes up you get your money back.

Couldnt see odds for the McDonnell fight on Ladbrokes and thats what pushed me to ask the question. Like someone else said they do offer good options on the bigger fights and thats probably why I have used them for so long.

Some good info on here. Cheers.

Paddypower usually are the first to have boxing odds and usually the only bookie who have odds on small fights, couple of times they've been the only bookie doing the russian undercards with round betting/method of victory etc.

I agree with closer. Paddy Power had all bouts from the Olympics and the WSB final bouts. Didn't see anyone else doing them.

365 offer more markets and more InPlay fights than anyone else by a mile.

Betfair usually the best odds, but x2 JUST USE ODDSCHECKER !

I don't think Ladbrokes is a particularly easy site to navigate but the odds were there. I found them and tried to put an inplay bet on the McDonnell fight to go the distance but my laptop was so slow and unresponsive I gave up.

again - 365 did all EVERY fight from the Olympics, with more markets and smaller margins.

Paddy, 365 and betfair mostly, sometimes Marathon bet have the best odds by a fair bit

Yes, my mistake on the Olympics. Thinking back I think quite a few did it.

I bet on a shedload of boxing and paddy power have the most fights by a mile.
The General odds are there way in advance and the method of victory (pts,ko etc) usually show up a day or so before the fight.

In this order for me.

PP
365
SkyBet (even though they have been known monitor and limit my account as they don't like losing)

Agree with most of the comments on here, pp, bet365 and betfair (now owned by pp) are all pretty good. I would always check oddschecker though

My only issue with paddy power is they take a while to pay out. Some bookies are instant

The only good thing about Paddy is they put up lines very early. Their margins are the shocking (115% on 3 ways where 365 have 107% with money back on the draw) 135%+ on Method of Victory !?
Their IP is crap too - they don't even cover the late night BN fights IP.

Good shout whoever mentioned marathon bet - not loads of markets but their margins are often half that of PP and usually the best around.

I've always liked 5Dimes, never had an issue with them. They usually cover a lot of fights/props in boxing.

I've been with most of them. Skybet and paddy power probably the best I've used.

Stopped using 365 when they asked me for a copy of my birth certificate for proof of age after coming back from self exclusion. :lol:
