All reviewsReview of the bookmaker Fitzdares from Legalbet
Fitzdares is half sports betting company, half a Gentleman’s club. The club is located at 50 Davies St, Mayfair, and is described as a "safe haven in the heart of London where you can watch your favourite sport in both comfort and luxury". As you can probably tell their target audience are those who may be looking for a more personal and higher standard bookmaking service.
Fitzdares was founded in 2006 by Balthazar Fabricius who has been involved in the bookmaking industry all of his life. His father was a racecourse manager at Goodwood and after University, was offered a place on the graduate scheme at Ladbrokes where he gained further insight and experience in bookmaker management and operation. Balthazar wanted to preserve the traditional way of bookmaking which led to the creation of Fitzdares. It was originally an exclusive club with entry and possible acceptance only being achieved via personal referral. Fitzdares has since opened its doors to the public but still differentiates its service from mainstream bookmakers with a superior range of client benefits.
Odds — normal
We calculated the margin for Fitzdares by analysing the odds they offer and placed them into one of the following three categories:
From 1% to 5%: Good value
Over 5% to 7%: Average value
Over 7% to 10%: Poor value
Football
We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.
Fitzdares has an overall margin of 6.18% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section using odds from the Premier League, the margin is at 5.53%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, the margin is at 5.74%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Extraklasa the margin is at 7.28%.
Betting options — good
Range of Sports: Fitzdares cover 27 different sports, which is about average. They have all the major sports covered but as is common in the betting market they pay most attention to Horse Racing and Football markets.
Range of Bets and Markets: At the time of writing there is a full list of matches and a decent number of bets although bizarrely the Premier league games have 90 options to bet on whilst the Portuguese Primeira has nearly 150. In England for example, they price up games for nearly every competitive league so anyone interested in the English leagues will find everything about it there.
They specialise in horse racing and they have recently won the SBC 2020 "Racing bookmaker of the year" award. They have a range of ongoing offers all the time, recently on the King George VI, including specials on certain races so checking out the offers page is always a good idea.
Betting Limits: Limits are high for most major events. They are an upper-class bookmaker who very rarely (if ever) limit bet stakes.
Live — bad
The in-play features are OK but not that good if truth is told. There are only a few bet options and graphically there are a lot left to be desired. There are many reasons to bet at Fitzdares but "In Play" betting is not one of its best features. It’s not that it isn’t functional or anything, it’s just that by missing so many features it ends up so plain and simple that leaves too much space for the competition to look really better in comparison.
