Request a Bet - How To Request You Own Odds From Bookmakers

With the "Request a bet" or "Ask odds" features you can request odds on selected outcomes within minutes on a selected group of online bookmakers. We recommend some of the better odds request features and explain how the "request a bet" works.

How does the request a bet service work? 

Many online betting sites, and even high street bookmakers, are now starting to put a fair bit of control into the hands of punters with services that allow you to request odds for almost any outcome you can think of.

Eg. You can ask to give a price for "both team to score in a match, player X to score, player Y to be shown a card, team W to win most corners".

Generally, you will have to go and hit up Twitter to request a price. Each bookmaker is naturally running a different hashtag for their request a bet feature.  Usually within minutes the team will get back to you and either directly message you the price, sending you a link to where you can place the bet. Bear in mind this may be time limited and limits for requested bets  may not be as high as traditional markets.

Of course, there is no obligation for you to actually place the bet you requested.  Therefore why not request odds for the same bet from multiple bookies and see who gives you the highest price?

Is the "request a bet" service worth it?

It's not a winning long-term strategy. Any prices you request, especially for more obscure occurrences, will carry higher commissions than typical 'out of the box' wagers. Using bet request services should be done sparingly, wen you have a strong feeling that a series of events will happens.
