So, how do the prices offered by Ken Howells compare to those advertised by the likes of Bet365, William Hill and other major bookmakers?
We compared Ken Howells odds for various football matches, horse races and other sports & events and found that although their prices weren’t substantially shorter, they did provide less value than many of the more established bookies.
In our opinion, the differences in prices aren’t a cause for concern but if you are looking for maximum value from your bets, you may wish to look elsewhere.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any promotions being offered on the Ken Howells website. A lack of offers is common with independent bookmakers and especially those who are using the ‘A Bet A’ betting platform online.
This means that there is no sign up offer to take advantage of for new customers and you won’t find common horse racing offers available such as Best Odds Guaranteed, Extra Places or Money Back Specials.
