Bet4Win Sportsbook Hiding Betting Lines from Guest Users

A week ago I noticed that bet4win.com's betting lines were no longer accessible from the front page. When I logged in I found the lines clickable just like before. As the sportsbook staff explained to me later, they were taking measures to prevent dishonorable sportsbook owners from stealing their betting lines.

As most Bet4Win's customers know, this sportsbook features very good soccer betting lines, including live soccer odds available on a regular basis. This is one of the reasons to have a betting account with Bet4Win - this sportsbook is mostly focused on European sports, and they feature low juice betting odds on the most popular European sports, including soccer, tennis, basketball and hockey.

Links to all betting odds featured by Bet4Win sportsbook have always been available right from the homepage, the largest and longest odds column being devoted to soccer betting lines. Then came basketball betting lines listed, a tennis odds column, propositions/futures (frequently updated with the most popular events happening worldwide), baseball betting lines and hockey lines.

Now you go to www.bet4win.com and see the lines as usual, however a click on any line prompts you to log in. There is a workaround however. You can see some of the betting lines from the sports-specific sections of the sportsbook. Thus, a Soccer Betting section tells you about all links devoted to soccer betting at Bet4Win betting site; one of them will direct you to the live soccer betting lines updated on a regular basis. I guess the guys have left a couple of links of this kind for demo purposes only.

Anyway, betting odds sniffing has become quite popular, especially with the sportsbooks who had to leave the US market rapidly and turned their heads to the European markets. Hopefully they will start doing a decent job of making odds themselves - this is what I call "doing business".
