OTHER BETS AT CENTREBET
If the BookieLabRat team had to pick a single outstanding feature of Centrebet, it would be the level and extent of football coverage - they are especially good for odds on Scandinavian 'summer leagues'. A good range of ever changing betting opportunities are onsite including extensive football coverage, tennis, ice hockey, golf, cricket, Formula 1, Rugby Union, surfing, water sports, volleyball, table tennis, major international horse racing events, harness racing and greyhounds. All of the major American sports (NFL, NBA, etc). Limited coverage of business, politics & entertainment markets.

Last Page Update: 13 June 2010
Centrebet tends to offer main stream betting markets only including all the usual first/last scorer, scorecast type bets. They are not renowned for innovative special or novelty bets (unlike Paddy Power or BetFred).
Compared to most online bookies however the coverage you'll get from Centrebet on Scandinavian fooball and other 'off season' events is great and with top prices. Centrebet should also be a "must have" bookie for those who bet on the horses online.
