Title: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: BigAdz on July 25, 2015, 12:42:29 PM Just watched The Morning Line, and never realised Geoff Banks had an online operation.
Checked it out and it seemed to be ok. Odds were strong but concessions were relatively poor, ie 1-4 in the 29 runner race. That said he is already 1-5 in the Stewards Cup next week when nearly all are currently 1-4 Purpose of the thread is to open the door to other outlets we may not know about/take decent sized bets/don't close it the minute you take an early price that shrinks etc. Without wishing to look, do companies like Jennings/Sunderlands/Corebetts still exist/operate and online operation. Anyone have any names/experience/comments/feedback on other bookies we could all benefit from. Maybe share referral codes to get you/us a free bet/bonus etc. All help gratefully received.

Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: Jamier-Host on July 25, 2015, 01:09:58 PM Isn't there a former "poker world" guy who works for them?
Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: MattyHollis on July 25, 2015, 01:32:36 PM I opened up a Geoff Banks account for NFL lines that they were slightly different on the season before last.
Didn't like the feel of the place and haven't been back after first couple of bets. It's all a bit too personal and feels like you are betting with some bloke sitting in his front room. Don't know if it's changed much since then though... Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: BigAdz on July 25, 2015, 01:48:49 PM Hi Adz. I used Jennings once (online) and it was not a satisfactory experience. Was it a winning bet and took their time to pay out? What made it unsatisfactory Boss? I had a painful experience with Betbright the other day. Had made several deposit/withdrawals over the past year, but as soon as I had a decent tickle, they wanted all the stuff that they normally ask for at the start (passport/bill/copy of card etc). Almost wish these clowns would ask for it before you can even place a bet, so we are square from day 1 minute 1.

Don't recall the exact reason, but I know I was a bit miffed. Quite unusual, as I am generally unmiffable with bookies. Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: tikay on July 25, 2015, 02:16:25 PM Adz, Have bumped a Jennings post on TfT. Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: tikay on July 25, 2015, 02:17:16 PM Isn't there a former "poker world" guy who works for them? Yes, Steve Templeman was (or is) an Ambassador for them.

Yes, Steve Templeman was (or is) an Ambassador for them. Ah yes that's the one. Remember him being a regular in Luton when I first ventured into live poker comps many years ago. Back when cheesy poker was around. Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: tikay on July 25, 2015, 07:09:21 PM Isn't there a former "poker world" guy who works for them?

Was the site called hamncheese or some such? Ali Cheeseman? Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: Karabiner on July 25, 2015, 07:40:44 PM This was mentioned last week. Was the site called hamncheese or some such? Ali Cheeseman? Ali came up and dealt one of Rob's £1K home tournies pre-DTD. Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: tikay on July 25, 2015, 07:45:49 PM This was mentioned last week. Was the site called hamncheese or some such? Ali Cheeseman? Cheesy Poker, I think. Based in Milton Keynes, iirc. Was a sort of home game, with a website. Think Ali may have worked for Virgin Poker later. Virgin Poker, anyone remember them? Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: engy on July 25, 2015, 08:00:41 PM i got vegas flights with points of that site tony :)
Title: Re: Non Oddschecker Bookies Post by: tikay on July 25, 2015, 08:07:09 PM i got vegas flights with points of that site tony :) Really? Well done. Seem to remember they did a deal with blonde for some MTT's or some such. Don't think the site lasted long. At the time, every man and his dog were opening online poker sites. That party never lasted long. Amazing how many sites have disappeared in the last 10 years.
