We'll be taking a look at what they offer and how their service compares to some of the more established brands in our Ken Howells bookmaker review below.
Like many independent bookmakers, Ken Howells is a family-owned business which was established in Ammanford, Wales, back in 1968. The company has been passed down through three generations now and strive to continue to offer a personal, professional and competitive betting service to its customers.
As well as taking bets in their betting shop, which is located at 65 Wind Street Ammanford Carmarthenshire, Ken Howells also offers a telephone betting service and have recently launched a website where customers can register and place bets on a range of sports including Football, Horse Racing, Cricket, Greyhounds, Tennis and more.
For the majority of the time Ken Howells has been established, they’ve only taken bets via their shop, over the phone, or at Ffos Las racecourse where they operate a betting stand. However, they now have a fully operating website which offers a range of betting options.
They’re currently using the ‘A BET A’ platform for their website which is a popular choice with independent bookmakers and is also used by Dragonbet and others.

Ken Howells Odds
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.
Ken Howells Promotions
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.
