For those that have a Centrebet account, are you happy with them & their 2H live betting options in particular?

I'm very annoyed that they've  taken away the 2H line betting options on the Rugby & some other major US sports. Their other live betting options on these sports are virtually hopeless & I don't want to ring up & queue for live betting when I know that I can bet live 2H lines somewhere else.

I've raised my concerns with CB, they've advise me that they won't be bringing back these betting options anytime soon & that they have a recent change in management.
Another thing that bugs me about this book is for the sports that they do offer 2H line betting in, the odds are sometimes less than 1.90 each way (TAB style juice to the max). This book & their management must have blinkers on & I don't like the direction  they're heading in. Anyone feel the same way?

I'm with pinny (great book) & looking for a local book that caters for centrebet's short comings. Major consideration is the ability to place live 2H betting online & not have to call in. Seriously considering betchoice.

Any opinions or suggestions are welcome folks.

Wish I could help D-Play.  Unfortunately, I live in a country in where freedom of choice and the ability to spend one's money is dictated by an over-centralized federal government.  I do not have the liberty provided to me to access that which you have.

Yes you are right mate BUT they don't offer 2H lines in the other sports like they use to e.g. Super 15 rugby, RWC, College Football, NFL.

Even the U/O in nbl last night was offered at 1.88 each way when i know i could get it at 1.90 somewhere else. AFL U/O 2H lines are offered at 1.85 wtf!!!!

Ah ok, to be honest I don't remember them offering 2H lines for the rugby but did notice that they no longer offer for the American football. Does seem odd that they are still offering for the other sports as well (league, AFL, basketball) so can't think that it had anything to do with the sportingbet takeover a few months ago.

In any case you are better off taking the 2H lines from pinny for the American sports

I used to bet a lot of 2H lines with them on the US sports like NCAAF that's why I was annoyed they no longer have them. Instead they offer all these other variations of the line & game as live betting for these US sports which is a waste of space imo.   

Pinny is good for college footsy but their lines moved too quick & are often juiced too much to my liking and hence the reason I want another local to compare the lines.

Do all your live betting with the fair. Daylight 2nd. Rarely suspends and open to the very end of every game.

Volume or liqidity is my main complaint. Esp so for the more minor events, which is why we need more people on there for the Aussie NBL, just to name one when there are lots. The more people who get involved the better.
