They sure aren't only banning winners 'cos mine's gone too. I blame you, that bet sent them broke LOL

Ladbrokes aren't very happy with me, they keep texting/emailing me offers but I hardly bet with them. I think they think I owe them something... possibly because I had $100 the win on Prince of Penzance in the cup last spring. They are still hurting it looks like

Does it matter if it's a horse they think will run poorly? You've backed it and you're getting better odds about it. That doesn't add up to a scam.

Maybe it was just me, when I contacted them to use it they said that the message was sent to me by mistake.

What's with the Gary Sweet ads? Do they think we won't realise they're not Australian if they replace those annoying poms in their old ads with annoying Aussies? Peter Moody is an 'ambassador'. I suppose that means he will be in an ad soon?

I have 9 accounts. 2 I'm not using atm WH& crown

I bet mainly the place. My biggest outlays on gallops place bets. I also bet substantial on in play nrl (half time) and a bit of afl

I look for the best odds. I've found I am using Ladbrokes far less than I was before the boost. I think their odds have become less competitive. I rate their app the easiest and quickest to use

Unibet (not Ubet) used to attract about 2% of my outlays have gone to my highest for win bets. They all off a sudden are betting good odds

B365 by far offer the best place odds on gallops 80% of my pkace betting is in that account also they are also competitive with in play footy bets

For betting on fixed odds just before jump time Betfair are definitely the most competitive but it is tricky with the limits etc

They have just put up "enhanced odds" for the 10 000....$50 max bet but might be value for anyone looking

Interesting..........

Tricky lads at Ladbrokes. Wasn't logged in but browsing yesterday and boosted a horse to see what they were giving. Not bad I thought so logged in and hey presto they cut my boost by two points. Have since checked a few against my experience of what was "normal" and against their $50 limit boost which always reflected the normal boost available and sure enough they've limited my boost. Pathetic, esp as they are regularly unders in many  markets on horses I'm interested in.

I have 9 accounts. Since they have added odds boost I m certain their odds have become less competitive. At one stage I was betting more with them than anyone. Now my volume of bets with them has dropped to 6th

They have the most efficient AP. You can place a bet quicker with them than you can with anyone else

I like Lab and SB websites but will concentrate on SB from now on. Two things with Lad and Bet365 that annoy me no end - acceptance of partial stake only on what I classify as not particularly big liability bets, and cut off times.

I actually find they are more competitive with odds these days. While I've lost boost I still find I'm often betting with them. They do sometimes take time to consider accepting the bet and have halved it a few times but I have few complaints to be fair.

The odds boost variances have halved in the last week. Has anyone noticed ?

Today I applied the boost to a  $4.50 and it went to $4.80

Sportsbet's powerplay (new this week) same as Ladbrokes boost went from  $4.50 to  $5.50

In case some aren't aware, the Boost is operating on several Sat city races now. I came across at least 3 extra ones in Melb alone today Clap

Ladbrokes also has "Enhanced" odds.

This is mightily annoying.
