Read on for more information about this exciting feature!

Best Betting Sites To Request a Bet in 2024

What Is Request a Bet?

🔜 Request a Bet is a neat little feature that has been offered by the majority of online bookmakers for a few years now. What’s great about it is that it allows punters to design and then create their own bets on markets which would not otherwise be offered.

🥃 This is a very straightforward process, and allows you to make your own bets within a single sporting event. Ever wanted to know the odds of a match featuring Over 3.5 Goals, Under 10.5 Corners, One Red Card, and Both Teams to Score? Well, with Request a Bet, you can.

ജ We’ve seen everything from back-to-back relegations for Nottingham Forest to a Red Bull driver to finish on the podium in every upcoming F1 race given odds. Here’s a tweet below which showcases how your betting opportunities can be expanded using a Request a Bet feature.

✤ As you can see, this person wanted additional odds on Jhon Duran to be added to the markets on an upcoming Premier League game between West Ham and Aston Villa. William Hill didn’t just give him one set of odds in response to this, but several new markets were added to the player stats markets.

What Are the Best Betting Sites to Request a Bet?

🀅 The finest custom bets bookies are the ones that respond consistently and quickly to all relevant requests with competitive odds, no matter how far-fetched they may be. These are the operators we consider to be the cream of the Request a Bet crop.

BetVictor – #PriceItUp

By now, you’ve probably got the gist of how to request a bet using X. Nevertheless, we’re going to quickly go over how to use it to take advantage of BetVictor🐼’s popular #PriceItUp feature. Send your customised betting selections to @BetVictor using #PriceItUp, and the bookie will get back to you once the selections have been accepted and are live on the site.

BetVictor’s #PriceItUp Builder is an extension of the Request a Bet feature, where you can create your own bet by combining up to 10 different outcomes using the markets already available. What is unique about this tool is the ‘Edit’ feature🌸, which allows you to make your own alterations to bets that have already been priced up.

bet365 – #RequestaBet

The bet365 Request a Bet is rather unusual. They don’t advertise how to request a wager in any noticeable way, with no clear mention of the betting term anywhere on their site.

ܫ Nonetheless, you can see them respond to people well within the hour for all kinds of different market requests. In fact, as you may notice from the example above, you don’t even need to use any hashtag. They appear just as happy to respond to users on their posts regardless.

The feature works a bit differently than with other bookies. They prefer to offer odds using direct messages as opposed to making them public, so you’d get a link to the offer directly. However, this doesn’t impact the quality of what you’re getting. You can expect the same level of customer service speed and attentiveness, and the ultra-competitive odds that has made them a pillar in the industry.

BoyleSports – #InventABet

Another operator that jumped on the Request a Bet bandwagon a few years back is the ever-excellent BoyleSports🐲 with their #InventABet option. This does not seem to be utilised quite as often as some, hence its lower placement on this list. However, it is a welcome addition to their excellent Bet Builder and all-around world-class odds and market variety.

🐻 BoyleSports is an operator that truly excels in customer service and satisfaction, and this great tool expands on exactly that. We’d just love to see it advertised more prominently. Do check out the Bet Builder beforehand, though, as we’ve found it extensive enough to cover most combinations.

Coral – #YourCall

As the bookmaker accurately states, with #YourCall, you call the shots! Coral𒅌 conveniently offers its players the chance to create their own bet, both through X and the bookie’s on-site bet creator. To request your own bets, simply tweet Coral with your selection using #YourCall, and they will reply with your custom odds.

💖 Alternatively, you can choose one of the already priced up #YourCall specials available on the website. Keep in mind that due to the volume of requests, there is never a guarantee that your bet request will be priced up — so do contact them in advance.

Betfred – #PickYourPunt

With Betfred’s #PickYourPunt, it's easy to find out how to request a bet. All you have to do is go to the Betfred༒ website and see which matches are available to customise. Afterwards, head to X and send a tweet to @Betfred with #PickYourPunt, as well as your own desired selections. Remember to always request your odds well in advance to ensure that Betfred have time to process your request.

🧔 Whilst many bookmakers only allow you to create your bet on football matches, at Betfred, other sports are available too (depending on the time of the year), which you can see on the #PickYourPunt tab on the website. At the time of writing, Betfred’s #PickYourPunt feature was not available on in-play matches.

Ladbrokes – #GetAPrice

If you haven’t found the betting selections you were looking for on Ladbrokes, fear not. This bookie also lets you request a bet by requesting your own odds directly through X (Twitter) using their #GetAPrice tag.

𝔍 What is unique about this feature is that you can actually pick and combine match and player stats markets such as assists, passes, shots on targets, and tackles. The tool is only available on selected football matches, but can also be used on the top European leagues.

♒ Before going to X to request your bet, you should consider checking out the #GetAPrice tab, which displays all the unique bets that have already been created and activated by the bookmaker.

Betway – #BetYourWay

One of the most active hashtags used to request a bet — owing in part to their immense popularity — is #BetYourWay. Simply contact Betway🐽 through X (Twitter) using the hashtag and ask for odds on whatever market idea takes your fancy. While we cannot guarantee every request will be accepted, there does not appear to be much in terms of restrictions on what markets this can be utilised on.

ꦰ Just to be clear, #BetYourWay is also the name of their Bet Builder, which may cause a little confusion. Rest assured, however, that if you utilise the hashtag #BetYourWay, then you’re on your way to receiving a custom price, likely with excellent odds. You can also check out the hashtag to get ideas of the kinds of bets others are requesting.

Paddy Power – #WhatOddsPaddy

The Paddy Power betting site offers its players two ways to create their own bets — either through its #WhatOddsPaddy tag or via its Same Game Multi♌ feature. To make use of the former option, simply send a tweet to @PaddyPower with your chosen selections.

🐭 Once it is accepted and activated, the bookie will send you a link with your unique wager. As with all X (Twitter) bet requests, we urge you to contact the betting site well in advance due to the large number of requests they may receive on popular matchdays.

Betfair – #OddsOnThat

Thanks to Betfair’s #OddsOnThat feature, bettors are no longer solely restricted to the markets provided by the bookmaker. Simply create your bet and tweet it out to @Betfair using the hashtag #OddsOnThat, and then wait for Betfair൲ to get back to you if your selections have been approved.

ﷺ Before doing this, though, you should head over to the #OOT tab on the website to check which customised selections have already been priced up by the bookie, as these might also interest you.

How To Request a Bet

𒊎 Part of the magic of this feature lies in its simplicity. Here, we are going to break down the simple steps involved in getting custom odds from your favourite bookmaker, showing you just how easy it is to request a bet.

1. Get yourself an X (Twitter) account﷽ — If you don’t already have one, you need an X account since that is the go-to platform to request a bet.

2. Follow the operator’s account🎉 — Make sure to follow the account of the operator you want to RAB from. It improves visibility.

3. Tweet the market you want♍ — Using the appropriate hashtag, tweet the bet you want the bookies to offer you odds for.

4. Click on the link provided🙈 — If the operator responds with odds and a link to the newly created market, you should now be able to click the link and make your bet within moments.

Example of a Request a Bet

💟 The above example showcases someone who did exactly as described above and got a great result. They wanted a very specific set of NBA markets not available on bookies at that time, and got a response within the hour.

ꦉ This included odds and a link so they could go to that newly created market and, assuming they approved of the potential returns, made the wager they wanted. Request a Bet might not mean you can bet on anything, but as you can see, it vastly enhances your options.

It is important to note that during popular events, due to the high volume of requests received, UK betting sites♏ might not be able to price up your request in time for the start of the match.

Cashing Out on a Requested Bet

In most cases, bookies will let you cash out on your requested bets just as they would with a normal bet. Cashing out💧 is a way of getting something back on a bet which doesn't seem to be going your way, or if a punter is getting jittery about their wager holding steady. Still, make sure to check the terms and conditions for each operators; for example, Betfred won’t let you cash out a requested bet.

Request a Bet Rules

ꦗ So, all you need to do is make your own bet through X and your preferred operator has the option to offer odds on your RAB market or not. Still, there are some key rules to consider alongside general terms and conditions, so pay close attention to the following:

Request a Bet Insurance

♐ One really positive indication of generous terms is if they have Request a Bet insurance. This is when a site guarantees that if any selection of your bet does not take place/part in an event, then the whole bet will be settled as void.

﷽ The feature can also ensure that in the case of a multi Request a Bet wager, you will also be able to take advantage of acca insurance, where should one of your selections lose, you will receive your stake back as a free bet.

💧 Finally, we’ve also seen insurance policies state that you will have the option to void your bet in the case of any wording errors. Alternatively, you can accept a reworded version of the request.

Request a Bet vs Bet Builders – What Is the Difference?

💦 Although Bet Builders and Request a Bet services both help people bet how they want, what they offer is fundamentally different.

Bet Builders allow you to add multiple markets from a single event into a single bet. They are similar to accumulators, except accas can stretch across many different contests. They even have the disadvantage of not typically being available for acca insurance offers.

🐽 Request a Bet is entirely different from this, as it offers the opportunity to ask for markets that are not currently on offer in any capacity.

Advantages of Request a Bet Feature

𝄹 The Request a Bet functionality is a very neat addition to the betting arsenal of all punters out there. Let's take a look at three advantages of creating your own bets.

• Allows you to get creative༒ — When you make your own bet, you’re creating your own opportunities, which makes you think about upcoming sporting events and all the possibilities in a whole new light.

• You are likely to get better odds🤪 — In addition to getting specific bets, the odds for requested wagers are more often than not better than the ones for other similar markets already on the platform. It all depends on how creative you are.

• You get to compare bookies💮 — By asking several bookies to give you odds for the same market, you get to compare the odds they offer and see which ones are most generous.

Biggest Request a Bet Wins

Back in 2016, X user 🎀 reportedly cost Sky Bet in the region of £450,000, thanks to his custom bet request for Everton to win 3-0 at Sunderland with Romelu Lukaku bagging a hat-trick. It had been 1,139 minutes since Lukaku had last got a goal, so Sky Bet granted a 300/1 price up. Unfortunately for them, punters from all over wagered a total of £1,500 on the bet, leaving that a night to remember for the bookie.

🌊 Less than five months later, Sky Bet once again fell victim to another impressive requested bet. During a Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal, a young man named Max Reid requested odds for Lewandowski to score a header and Arsenal to miss a penalty. This unlikely scenario was assigned odds of 400/1, and resulted in a loss of £350,000 for the betting site.
