Sportingbet is one of the bigger online bookmakers. They have over 800,000 customers, so they are doing something right.
Customer support is comprehensive - they have a lot of phone numbers, a lot of good staff answering those phones, and an online chat system that is at least as quick and easy. They answered my questions quickly, and solved my problems.
Although Sportingbet cover a huge range of events, they are one of the last books to release their lines, which is kind of a pain. It's not just that there's more opportunity to find good odds when odds are fresh. It also means that sometimes there are no bets available of events that you were expecting to put money on.
