As for me, my first bet was made at a local bookmaker shop. To do it I had to go there across the city, besides, I didn't know what events and odds are offered, and I had to analyse the line while waiting in the queue :)
Certainly, it wasn't possible to be winning for a long time in such conditions. You can imagine my joy when I discovered online bookmakers. I started sparing 1 hour a day only on round-the-city trips. And I could make any bet in 20 seconds, and online bookmakers work 24 hours a day, while my local shop opened only at 3 p.m. Resume: if you plan to win regularly, you must have an account with some online bookmaker. Below you will find a brief review, because there are literally hundreds of online bookmakers and not all of them are good enough. 1. Bet365 2. Pinnacle Sports A must-have. Quite often they offer the best odds around (except betting exchanges), they claim to give 1.98 - 1.98 odds on most events, which is not far from being the truth. Again a huge range of events and proven reliability. The same credit card authorization procedure, though they give a very limited time to send scans right after you've made the first deposit, so better get all the documents scanned beforehand. 3. Gamebookers 4. William Hill Little doubt could be expressed over William Hill's reputation. If you dont feel safe here do not bother to "risk" your money in any other online-bookie. They offer odds in a wide range of sports, though they only offer special bets on UK and a few more major soccer leagues. Odds are not the best on the market, and what's more, they rarely make mistakes and value bets are rarely to be found here, though they don't change lines too often, which is definitely positive. Money transfers procedure is very simple and withdrawals don't take much time, which may be the case with some other bookies. 5. Sportingbet 6. 5 Dimes An american bookmaker that can boast of big bonuses, live online support and offering rather competitive odds on a such range of events that is rarely to be found online, at least on tennis - almost all challengers and sometimes even futures. Odds are, though, usually lower than, say, in Pinnacle, but again, their events range makes up for it. They also promote the use of e-gold, Moneybookers and some other payment methods, offering 50% deposit bonuses, but you'll have to bet the deposit 5 times before you get it. |
