Betfred closed my account with 500 Eur, Betfred is a scammer not a bookmaker. I don't recommend this bookmaker...
 anthodean 1  
I bet a year on this site, I made deposits, I lost, I won, I made again deposits, it was enough to put the first money in the withdrawal, as Betfred decided that I bet the fraud, seriously? After one year of loss, the first win seems fraudulent?
 Tony 1  
I signed up and placed £100 on Cardiff to beat Sheffield United. They won. I tried placing a bet the following day and discovered that I was banned.
 Janetta 1  
I downloaded the app, tried to place a bet on the Grand National 2017. Account balance showed 0. 00 even though I had deposited £10 from my PayPal account which I checked had been deducted. No bets showing in my history so assumed that the bet was not put on. Called customer service only to be told that the bet was put on twice (two x £5 for the same horse) and they could not therefore do anything about this. Terrible customer service and I would suggest AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
 ExcitableBoy 1  
I opened an account with Betfred recently and it was restricted to very small stakes after only 10 bets (7 losers, 3 winners). Just not a serious bookmaker.

An all round provider aimed at the UK market, gambling country number 1. Betfred has a lot of competition but still have their share of the market. They offer a lot of bets and good odds. Aimed at the UK sports and market we know that Betfred offers a lot of English football. Great service, fast payouts but not all deposit and withdrawal options. Betfred is a nice and steady bookmaker. Good for the English player.
 faiz 5  
The best online bookie, fastest withdrawals and very good odds. I recommend this site to everyone. Very good support and easy to use layouts. I am using them for long time and after verifying account they are the best to bet online.
 a conman 1  
Awful, opened an account, was promised 30 pounds in free bet after placing ten pounds. Was only given one pound, when queried, they came up with a lot of excuses, customer service is ZERO.
 paoxiosg13 2  
It's an average bookie, it's not bad but no reason to prefer this bookie over other top bookies as inplay section is poor.

Absolutely beautiful. I love the moving background graphics of a NFL player one moment and the next moment, a few little sexy senoritas. This gives the website a unique appeal which really pulls in the punters.

BetFred offers 24 hour support via live chat customer as well as e-mail or phone support. They reply at most cases within 20 seconds, you can expect to get a good treatment from them.

Not the most heavily regulated bookie as only subject to the lax regulation of Gibraltar where cases are just decided by one man who probably drinks in the pub with officers from the company, but no problem with modes amounts under normal circumstances.

Of course this rating of 5 only applies to the cream of the crock to be found here. Odds on other events are still good by standards of your average Joe punter, but will still yield bookie a guaranteed profit, beware of these if arbing or looking to do pro betting. If you are just fluttering for a bit of fun or backing your favourite team out of patriotism then by all means accept these lesser odds though. Otherwise if we all did it, poor old Betfred would go out of business.

Gambling for anything more than the odd flutter or backing your favourite team if you don't know what you're doing is downright dangerous. But if you've got a tried and tested system in place such as arbing / trading system, etc. , then it's a lot safer but still requires a lot of skill and blood sweat, especially if a price spins off against you.

The current offer on horse racing offers fantastic value, if you only get one winner in a lucky 15 they x3 the winning single. This leaves you in the position of having to find one winner 5/1 or more for a profit. Football odds are very average but they do some good promotions such as hat trick heaven etc and there is some value to be found in their BTTS accas.
