FAQ<\/h2>\n

\n

\n

\n Does every bookmaker offer request a bet? \n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

Essentially, yes. Requesting a bet from an online bookmaker has rapidly become the norm, which means that each of the big-name online operators offer some sort of request a bet feature, though different sites use different names for such a feature. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\n

\n Will my request a bet always be accepted? \n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

The simple answer is no. Sometimes, for whatever reason, bookmakers will decline pricing up requests. It generally depends on the request, which may seem strange given the name of the feature, but that\u2019s the way it is. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n What is the best way of requesting a bet? \n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

Generally, the best way of requesting a bet is via social media. Using the correct hashtag, punters simply need to tweet their request to the bookmaker they wish to use. The bookmaker will then reply with either a price for the requested selection or provide a reason as to why they cannot offer a price. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\n Are request-a-bets the same as bet builders? \n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

In essence, yes. The only really difference between the two is how they\u2019re placed. Bets must be requested via social media, where a bookmaker will respond with a price. Bet builders are done on site, which is slightly easier and less time consuming. Punters can simply go to the necessary page and select a combination of same-game bets. Bet builders have grown massively in football in recent years, so much so that they\u2019ve replaced the request a bet feature to some extent. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\n Can a request a bet be cashed out? \n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

Yes. Bookmakers will allow cash out on request a bet, though this won\u2019t be the case if the market has been suspended. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
