Background
Ladbrokes are among the biggest bookmakers in the world and one of the most reputable brands in the betting industry. In the UK, Ladbrokes have over 2,000 betting shops and are listed on the FTSE 100 Index. The company dates back to the 19th century, although the firm as we know it started in 1961 when a small number of betting shops were established in southern England.
They have now grown to the extent where they are major players in territories all over the world and that’s why you will find their website available in 25 different languages.
Odds and Markets
The ‘Magic Sign’ have competitive odds but also rely on brand and quality of service to bring in and retain customers. That said, this is an area which is starting to improve with one-day promotions where they might offer the best prices on every Champions League team on the outright market. While it is rare that Ladbrokes will be best price about a particular player, team or horse, you can guarantee a fast pay-out if your selection wins. It’s fair to say that, due to the huge UK shop presence, their racing product is superior to most of their competitors.
Football punters will be satisfied with the wide range of markets on the big matches, while they have a dynamic In-Play product for betting on football, cricket, tennis and rugby. They cater for a wide range of less-popular sports and also get a gold star for their volume of special markets.
Ladbrokes also offer a wide range of money back specials every week, which means that losing bets are often refunded on the biggest sporting events. They might typically offer to refund losing First Goalscorer bets if a particular player finds the net during a game.
Website
The website has improved greatly in recent years and is now not only one of the quickest in the industry but also has much better navigation when it comes to finding your bet. Ladbrokes highlight the top six daily sporting events on their homepage and also tend to have a football coupon of available sports available to place quick wagers.
The Live In-Play betting opportunities are also featured on the homepage, although the live streaming that’s available could be displayed more prominently (scroll down to see the Ladbrokes TV banner). Placing a bet is a nice straightforward business and you will usually get paid winning to your bank account within 48 hours of making a withdrawal.
