I know that I opted for 2% commission on Betfair and that is why I don't get BOG there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just spurt out loads of reports and ask if this is helpful. And all that happens when you pursue your query is it bounces back to an initial query form. At least with Betfred one can phone up and speak to a live human being Budgie 65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBC Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Oddschecker has a tickbox on the day of the race which highlights who does BOG. I think bet365 and corals are the main ones who offer the day before but corals always seem to price up later than everyone so they dont get burnt. As @MCLARKE states sky dont offer bog on extra place races anymore. I also think betfred dont offer bog on lucky15/31/63 - you can have the treble the odds one winner but then not bog as well. As for contacting customer service i've success using twitter. The Equaliser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Betfred one can phone up and speak to a live human being I've never really had too many issues with any of them When I haven't received the free bets it's usually because I have missed something in the small print My biggest error was the Grand National £125 free bet from BET365, I complained that I hadn't received it and they pointed out in the small print that the bet had to be put on on by 12.00, I put it on at 12.10 !

Zilzalian Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 12 hours ago, The Equaliser said: RESULTS UPDATE No joy with the L15 today, I will try and do two tomorrow. Had 2 good placed outsiders, I don't know how Fade To Gray went from my 22/1 to 4/1. Unfortunately. all the money couldn't make it run faster. My loss on the day was 6.50. This makes my MTD -22.11 and YTD -45.81 Still couldn't get hold of the help desk at Skybet. Even tried on twitter but that failed too. Does anyone know which top bookies pay out on BOG right now. Google says that Bet365 and Betfred do it but I haven't seen it flagged when placing my bets tells you on oddschecker above every race The Equaliser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that I am not eligible for BOG. They don't give any explanation. However, Betfred will give me BOG so I will use them when I want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, you won't be able to contact them down that route. I can go to Sky Bet help on Twitter and could just tweet them a query if I needed to so I can't see any barrier to you doing the same.

Many thanks Have you actually gone directly to Twitter (while signed in) and tried to just send a tweet to @skybethelp ? I honestly can't see why that wouldn't work. I'm assuming you've clicked on a link from Sky Bet when you get that "oops something's wrong" message. Anyway, Twitter is working fine and there should be no barrier to you contacting them that way should all else fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
