What online company do you use to bet

rz30 · 15 Jul 2010 at 12:58

I thought i might try a few bets on big brother. The companies all seem very similar, and all give you the "we'll match your deposit" offer. Any tips ?

Betfair has been fine for me. Chose to use it as my main betting site as I just find it easy to navigate.

I use Ladbrokes, they're not too bad. Remember to read the small print on any of those first deposit offers, a lot of them have really high minimum wager requirements before you can withdraw any winnings from matched deposit amounts.

I use Paddypower

Ahleckz · 15 Jul 2010 at 13:23

Paddy Power for myself.

Betfair ***, although paddypower is pretty decent too.

Jambo · 15 Jul 2010 at 13:36

Paddy Power. Got the BlackBerry app as well.

sbobet - where the big boys punt

(only because I cannot get a bet down with any UK/Euro based books)

If you are betting on BB then paddies & betfair should be your weapons of choice

betfair.

easy to use and you can lay aswell as back. tends to have pretty good odds but not great for smaller markets

I've used two. 888sport and Betclic. Only because they were offering free bets at the time i.e. bet, if you lose you get your money back.

Both were fine for me!

lee32uk · 15 Jul 2010 at 21:26

Bet365 and Bwin are my Bookies of choice

Use Betfair sometimes as well.

eBay's always a bit of a gamble

LOL!

I don't gamble at all... but this has to be reply of the day...

Sticking to just one bookmaker online is a dumb idea if you're attempting to profit from gambling.

There are a variety of traditional bookies, spread betting firms and exchanges out there - unless you've got a crystal ball, insider knowledge or a very good model then you're best hopes for making money will likely derive from simply getting good prices.

This is true - last time I shopped on there the seller claimed the item was 'fully boxed' but it didn't include a manual or CD... I got him back later though....

big difference between trying to generate a small income from backing/laying and having a few punts on Big Brother. I am guessing that we aren't going to be talking about high roller money here

Use WilliamHill and pay my wages when you lose

Any tips from the big gamblers then?

jp_bl_68 · 15 Jul 2010 at 22:23

I've always used 888 in the past.

SoundsGood: call centre, trading or content? Presume you are not shops as you are in Leeds.

concentrate on what you know and make it pay, it will take a lot of time and investment to get there
