Think the biggest, think the most efficient, think the best bets, think the
most integrity. Now think Ladbrokes. Having serviced the UK betting industry for
most over 40 years, Ladbrokes simply keeps going from strength to strength. I
have had many personal dealings with Ladbrokes- as a business partner, bettor
and Poker player. In keeping with UK tradition, they are one of the most
professional organisations on this planet. No wonder they are probably the
biggest too. What I like about them is that they are not into glitz and glamour,
as is obvious with their website and was evident to me when visitign their
offices on numerous occasions in th elast couple of years.
So why bet with Ladbrokes? Well, if you told me to pick one website and one
website only I would pick Ladbrokes and here`s why:
- Payout is a non issue. Cash out, bang, money, thank you.
- The most comprehensive set of games IN THE WORLD under one roof -
Sportsbook, Racebook, Casino, Virtual Racing, Balls, Lotto, Poker. Who knows
what next?
- A super-fast website which mercifully avoids frills and glitz and delivers
what is probably the best interface in the world (I`ve noticed one of
the offshore software companies appears to be trying to copy them).
- Ladbrokes is owned by the Hilton Group (PLC) the largest entertainment
group listed on the London Stock Exchange. This in itself speaks volumes.
- High roller friendly. Wana bet big? No problem. Ladbrokes can accomodate
you.
The only downside I can add is that I have found the site to be down on a
couple of occasions. They seem to undertake routine maintenance early in the
mornings (UK time), which I guess is OK for the normal punter, but can annoy me
when I really want to check odds or make my bet. On the other hand I can
appreciate that it must be a nbightmare to run the kind of infrastructure they
must have.
Ladbrokes offers odds on nearly all the major UK sporting events including:
Premiership Football, Rugby Union, Horse Races, Greyhounds, Golf and Tennis. You
can also place bets on major US sports such as NFL football, NBA basketball and
Major League Baseball. There are many online bookmakers who offer a similar
service but few could rival the quality of ladbrokes.
Payment mechanisms: Everything but the proverbial wheelbarrow.
Customer service: Quite simply superb. Its a pleasure to deal with
people who give a damn.
Promotions: £20 free bet at the time of writing. I suggest you
subscribe to their newsletter as they run frequent promos (especially around big
events) - too many to mention here.
