<h3>Surrey Sports</h3>

They have agreed to offer outright lines for the Senior PGA and LPGA Tours "in the next few weeks".

They are one of the few firms that offer five places on e/w bets, though I'm not sure if this will apply for the SPGA and LPGA Tours, it didn't at First Stake/Multisports. They will also offer revised outright odds for the final round for both Tours "if the final round is very competitive".

As for currencies, betting can made in one of ten currencies, including US, Canadian & Australian Dollars. They are currently however having problems with American clients depositing money which they are looking into. The person to contact regarding US accounts is keith.oliver@surreysports.com

As a company they are based in Aldernay like Sportingbet so they can offer tax-free betting, but their parent company, Surrey Racing, has been a major player in the British bookmaker industry for years. There is no oversell with Surrey, just a very solid reputation.

I'm sure Ian will have an opinion about them, but having just lost a lot of money in open bets at First Stake I would have been cautious about advising another British book to other people, but Surrey were the first people I contacted about offering SPGA and LPGA lines after First Stake's demise.

They do not offer daily odds on North American Sports, their emphasis is primarily the European market, though they already have NRL outright lines up for Anders' Aussie rugby plays and if Ian has any tennis plays they do have good coverage of that sport as well

I highly recommend them and would welcome commments from others who have used them/know of them.

BTW, I am in fairly regular contact their golf line-maker and he knows my site, but not this one. So when filling out the "How did you hear about SurreySports.com" box, enter my site, www.tour-tips.com and not MJs! Some discussion about the value of betting on certain players, for example, we would like to keep to ourselves

Good news Stan

I would have no hesitation in saying that Surrey have a very solid reputation and offer very competitive prices on golf tournaments (they sometimes even put up matches without ties)
They do also offer a very comprehensive service on other sports and I have used them for the last 3 - 4 years when the price is right

Anyone have excess in Surrey they would like to transfer to any of following:
WSEX-Oly-5dimes or $plays?
I would transfer equal amount +$25 extra to any of above books via neteller in exchange for transfering money from their Surrey acount to my (unfunded)account @ Surrey
$100 to $200 would be plenty till I can get check to them.
