Decent mobile app which keeps me interested. Can't believe there aren't more sa bookmakers with apps... Yes I know they all have mobi sites but they rubbish.

I didn't choose the #puntlife, the #puntlife chose me!

im extremely happy to pay 3pc com. that because at race time when a horse is best 2/1 everywhere i get 3/1
the other day i hit a horse that was 7/10 all over and i managed to get 13/10 just before the jump.
Interbet only really becomes alive 15 mins before a race otherwise the volumes in the morning is pathetic.

Interbet offers by far the biggest prices on their exchange

The complaint was not about the exchange – it was about the “bookmaking arm”, where the prices on horses are shit and they still get away with 3% com on atc bets on sport (don’t forget about the 14% vat on the com)
The in running betting is a joke – who bets on even or uneven scores? At the liberal price of 17/20 the pair.

Thank you Fingers for re-iterating the main theme of the thread, indeed it is about the "bookmaking arm" and not the exchange... though if wanted I could quite easily say a couple of things about that too! lol though, in fairness, some of the positive things said here about the exchange are also, at least to an extent, true.

But, please sir, i was not complaining. I never complain. There is never any point in complaining because it scares people and they run and hide and thus it gets you nowhere.

I was merely observing, recommending and requesting

Not sure that would be relevant to the topic Bob!

The advantage is, unlike the tote, there is adequate competition in the bookmaker markets so simply use the one/s that suit your punting!

There is competition in the Tote, Gold Circle and Phumelela with the tote pools being commingled. Maybe Phindi is a good idea after all. She can open up her own tote oultets with her own brand and all the wagering going into the commingled pool and she taking her cut!!! There were will be nothing to loose in the venture, only the start up costs.

I assume the low "bookmaker" prices are there partly to try and push punters on to their "exchange" where, though they do occasionally have prices better than others, they hit you with a 3% charge on winnings I believe.

Whilst I agree with Bob, it is best to have as many accounts as possible so you can choose best odds etc etc, I think it is about time this company started to treat punters with a little more decency and offer fair prices on their bookmaking arm.
Does anyone disagree? Am I being unreasonable?

Just to re enforce your argument, I did a comparison yesterday ( all within a 5 minute period) for 4 horses that I have since posted on today's thread and the results are as follows:

Interbet R23992/200
Playabets R23992/200
Hollywood R29962/200
Bettingworld R31480/200
WSB R31480/200

Choice is yours
