Aussie bettors - live betting

Thanks guys

Just saw this. Man, that sucks...

And apart from Australians no one is betting it... I'd be careful with proxies.

I jumped on today to have a live bet on the tennis and up popped a phone number. Im filthy with bet365, that was the main drawcard for me. Their odds have never been that flash but their live betting was great and super quick. During the AFL it saved me some big losses and got me some nice returns too. I guess its on to bluesquare or paddy power

It's a real shame - anyone have any suggested books that are great for livebetting on the AFL?

Be careful with pr oxys guys, i just got a warning with betstar

William Hill is now my choice of book.

hopefully they offer live afl/nrl betting

And that is what I would expect. These are books so you would think they would have some of the heaviest security, monitoring and logging next to the banks. I might be wrong but with the amount of money flowing through I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Gargamel how are WillHill these days, they weren't flash a couple of years ago when I last used them ?

Willhill are decent enough, not to the quality and range of b365, lesser games on offer etc... but decent enough, worth a look

G'day chaps, I'm pretty miffed with bet365 too.

Any of you use 888sports?
They are B+ rated on SBR but don't have AUD as a supported currency. I understand they are pretty solid for soccer betting.

I've contacted them about live betting AFL/NRL, the first representative said he thinks they do but it's limited. I replied and asked how and if Australians were required to live bet by phone. Was told by another rep that they don't have a telephone betting service and don't currently offer any markets on AFL/NRL, derp the season hasn't started yet.

I mentioned the void created for Aus bettors betting live onlne by bet365 getting licensed here and mentioned if they can offer live in play h2h, spread and total markets for quarter by quarter, half time and full time for each game, they could snaffle the Aussie degens disgruntled with bet365 and offer live markets pretty much no other book does. I was told my comments have been passed on to their traders, if you guys want to help persuade em, we might be able to get a new live out.

Just got this response enquiring on exactly how the markets are limited.

i like the sound of that. i will def see what the offer when the season starts. nice work django

You're welcome mellow.

I remember getting Geelong like -83.5 at $8 when they were up by 70 odd against Collingwood at 3Q time, in was it that last round game when they got smashed, when I saw the phone thing on bet365 my plans of live betting all these ridiculously soft lines and making a killing (or not losing badly) were shattered.

Is bet365 phone betting minimum $50 like most aus books?
Not that I'll probably cash in there again unless there's no other option.

Books do sweeps looking for proxies, its a requirement of their license. If you get caught they can close your account and confiscate all funds.

Not worth the risk

888sports had the Knights and Dragons up for live betting last night and have tonight's game in the upcoming live events.

No NAB cup betting at all by the looks of it, they've taken Aussie Rules off the menu. Was gonna sign up tonight if they had NAB cup up live, will wait till the season proper starts.

Sweet. I reckon they will offer AFL betting once the season proper starts

I just tried to sign up for will hill, to get on some live bets and some poker for shits and giggles. Australia isn't in the list of countries on the sign up page, turns out they don't accept Australian residents due to not being able to verify the legality of internet betting in every country what a load of bs.

Live in New Zealand and you can bet with anyone, anytime 

That benefit isn't worth the trade off of having to put up with your accents. I'm still recovering from the commentary from the Warriors v Broncos game
