The problem with the betcloud (BetQuest excluded) guys, and it's been there since day one, is that their prices are absolute rubbish. They constantly run thoroughbreds at 10-15% larger margins than others.
Eg right now if you're looking at the Pakenham Cup tonight, you can find 123% at Sportsbet, 125% at most BetMaker sites and 136%- 141% across the BetCloud sites.
That's just one race but it's the case for most, if not all, races. It may be better at the jump at times, but I haven't seen it.
So whilst it's nice that some are doing money backs now, they're asking us to leave way too much on the table to consider betting with them imo, especially when those money back offers are available at most sites with far better odds.
No idea if their weekly 'odds boost' specials are decent or not.
Having said that, their sports odds have improved dramatically and are viable to bet on, at least in H2H markets.
Good observation.
It's counterintuitive or even paradoxical, but the source of bookie's profits (and punter losses) is actually from the poor returns on punter's winning bets.
