Bit of a heads up thread really... the local betting sites feel like they’ve shifted a fair bit lately. A couple I used to rate for AFL and NRL are getting stingier with prices, the apps are clunkier after the last updates, and some of the promo stuff has gone from alright to barely worth the click. Feels different to even 6-12 months ago.
I’ve been around long enough to know every book has its little dramas, but the stuff that matters to me now is pretty simple — odds that aren’t cooked, deposits and withdrawals without mucking around, verification that doesn’t drag on for days, and limits that don’t fall off a cliff the second you have a decent weekend. Racing punters might rate things differently, fair enough, but for sport that’s where I’m at.
Keen to hear what everyone’s using right now in Aus and which sites have actually held up. Not after the shiny ad version, just the real story — who’s smooth, who’s gone downhill, who’s become a pain in the arvo when you’re trying to get a bet on quick. If you’ve switched books recently, chuck in why.
