SBOBET is one of the leading asian sports betting sites. Licensed in the Philippines and the Isle of Man, they have won a number of awards including Asian Operator of the Year. They are also a sponsor of Cardiff City FC and West Ham United FC and offer good odds on all major sporting events across the globe.
SBOBet offers a good variety of options for all the main sports as well as live streaming and numerous other betting markets for many events. They also offer a good range of markets for horse racing and a number of virtual games. They have a strong presence in Europe and Asia and offer excellent customer support.
They are weak on 1X2 and moneyline bets, but their strength lies in handicaps and spreads for the most popular sports such as football. They particularly excel in Asian handicaps, where they can have theoretical payback rates of 98% and where the odds are significantly lower than on European bookmakers.
Their UI is very functional, though a little complicated to use initially. The bet slip is particularly useful as it displays the minimum and maximum accepted stakes for each selection. This saves the disappointment of creating a strategic bet only to discover that some of the bets fall outside the acceptable limits. The site also does not limit bettors, which is a nice feature in contrast to European soft bookmakers that are quick to restrict winning punters.
