Solid book and their customer service is excellent. But as Tang correctly pointed out, their vig and straddles are a bit steep. OK, I'll give my opinion on that aspect of their operation. I think their juice is larcenous. They book a ton of soccer and even though the straddles on their live betting would make a loan shark blush, they are a good book to have an account at because of their wide betting menu.
I was recently talking at another site about how this book has dropped a lot in my personal ratings so I'll just copy the relevant portion.
BET365 - I knew they slapped restrictions on people but I am a shallow man and, since they were leaving me alone, I didn't let it affect my ratings. Well now they have come for me. But the problem is much deeper than that. Restrictions or not, I seldom get to the point of even checking what my max bet is because they seldom have the best line on anything I want any more. Something has changed. The juice hasn't increased but their lines seem to have become much less opinionated. They have fallen into lockstep with everyone else.
I know I used to find a lot of action there - and my spreadsheets would bear that out - but now I don't feel a need to have funds in there at all. Square book.

Bet365 is a decent and solid book - juice is high for US stuff but are a good book in terms of limits for horse racing etc - they will let me have bets to win about $9k on their early prices which very few other books do - not as big as but comparable to Ladbrokes and William hill. They have a better early price offering than the other 2.
