Picking A Good Online Sportsbook
When looking for a place to bet online you should go over these 5 factors, because not all
sportsbooks are the same and some sportsbooks do provide a much more friendly betting environment.
1-Free handicapping contests, large guaranteed prize pools, weekly prizes, this is extra incentive for gamblers to
use this sportsbook and a nice added bonus feature.
2-Lots of props, game props, player props, who will pass/rush for most yards, score the most points, season long
props, etc, we need a large variety of betting options every day. 3-10% juice or less on all action, reduced juice
lines means more money for us, this is huge in the long run, look at it this way, if you make a $100 bet every week on a football
game, you are betting $110 to win $100, that is $1760 to win $1600 over the course of the 16 week season, if your picks are
average and you go 8-8 with your selections, you are down $80, keep in mind that Las Vegas wants everybody to go 8-8
and take their $80 juice from everyone, now if you bet at a place like Pinnacle that takes 4% juice instead of 10%, the same results will look like this, you bet $1664 to win $1600, your 8-8 record will
result in a loss of $32, that is a savings of $48, when you're walking down the street do you ever throw $50 bills out into
the wind, if you do, just send me your cash, but i doubt many people do that, so why would you do it betting online. Check

4-Good odds, money line, futures, etc, well thats a no brainer, if we get better odds at one place on a regular basis
then thats where we should be betting, similar to the reduced juice lines mentioned above, except now we are looking at other
betting options as well, not just the straight bets, some places like Betfair offer consistently better futures odds on who will win the Super Bowl and other futures.
5-Reputation as a top online sportsbook of course, that's the most important thing, we can't be sweating our payouts
or risk some cheap sportsbook stiffing us. We know all these sportsbooks and put up a list of safe betting places, some
of our personal favourites are: Pinnacle, IASBet, Betfair, Wager Web, Canbet, Bet CRIS, Bet 365
The list of top 25 sportsbooks to the right is based on the criteria above, most of the time it is just a gamblers
personal preference, like a pick, not all gamblers will like the same thing, but we made a list of several reputable online
sportsbooks that you should choose from, the list is formed by our opinion, as well as word of mouth from other gamblers. We
listed our preferences above for you, but there are many quality sportsbooks like Diamond, Bet365, Sportsinteraction, BetCRIS, Mansion, The Greek, VIP Sports, 5 Dimes, Bodog, etc, we have tried all of those and they are quality operations, Bodog has become very popular for Americans since the U.S. Online Gambling ban came into effect, however they don't accept
Canadians.
It's good to have accounts at more than one sportsbook, try to keep at least 4 funded active betting accounts open.
If you want to bet on events like Horse Racing from Australia and Japan go to IAS Bet, they also offer Dog Racing.
For a large variety of UK Betting options, including international Horse Racing check out Ladbrokes and Bet 365
