online sports betting

October, 2018 - Betting on sports is a popular activity online. Sports betting, poker and casino gambling are the three major forms on gambling and they grow in popularity every year. Online sports betting is more profitable than both poker and casino gambling. This is true in the same way that Blackjack is more profitable than Keno. It takes some skill and a little luck but sports betting is a reliable source of income for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. I think that every poker player should supplement their poker activity with sports betting. These bookmakers also offer online horse racing betting. This page will cover the best online sportsbooks and provide some tips to new sports bettors. After reading this online sports betting guide you will be ready to start making wagers on your favorite sporting events. Check out the sites listed below for more online sports betting information.

bet365 sportsbook review - bet 365 sports bonus

Bet365 is a household name in Europe in regards to poker, sports betting and casino gambling. They are one of the largest gaming companies on the Internet, despite the fact that do not not accept American citizens. Their list of sports is the largest in the industry. You can bet on everything from darts, to American football to cycling. Some of the betting services they offer are not even sports related. You can bet on how well the Euro will preform compared to the US dollar. Their sports betting and in-play betting platforms are probably the easiest to use in the world.

Bovada sportsbook review - Bovada betting bonus

It should be a crime to list the Bovada sportsbook at the bottom of a list. They would be our top online bookmaker if they could match Bet Online's fast withdrawals. Bovada is comparable to Bet365 in regards to the variety of betting options and the quality of the betting platform. Their poker room is featured throughout this site as one of the best places to play 7 Card Stud, read our Bovada Poker review for more info. The sportsbook at Bovada excels at offering the best odds in the industry. On average Bovada pays out 5-10% more for the average bet. They are also the best bookmaker for specialized bets like parlays and cool betting contests.

Their betting contests can offer prize pools exceeding $1,000,000. I enjoy their jackpots NFL parlays more than any other type of bet, here is an example. You pay $20 to enter their 10 team NFL parlay. You pick the winners for 10 out of 16 NFL games for a single week. If you pick all 10 correctly you can win $5,000-$15,000. In 2014 Bovada.lv is also famous for their bizarre prop bets. You can also bet on things like who will win the next MTV music awards. You will never get bored betting at Bovada.

the sports betting Vs poker debate has been raging for well over a decade. Sports betting is more profitable than either playing poker or casino gambling in general but this doesn't make it better. If you took $300 and wagered $100 of it on a basketball game, a poker tournament and on a casino game what which would have the best odds? You will find the answer to this question below.

• Basketball game - If you made a standard pointspread bet on a basketball game you would have a 50/50 chance of winning $95 when you factor in the juice. So the value on sports betting is around 95%.
• Poker tournament - Poker rooms charge 9-10% in fees for tournaments so a $100 really only gives you around $90 in value, giving poker tournaments a 90% value.
• Casino game - The house edge at a casino varies from game to game. Casino games can range from 2% to 30%. I would estimate that on a $100 wager you would only be $85-$90 in value so casinos offer the lowest value at $85-$90 on a $100 wager.

Sports betting also provides better recreational value. I can easily burn through $500 at the poker tables if I am having a bad run. The same is true for casino games. You can stretch $500 out at a sportsbook for an entire season, even if you loose every bet. Futures bets are a great example. If you bet $200 on Wake Forest winning the 2012 NCAA basketball championships at BetOnline you would win $50,000. This allows you to make one bet that will keep you excited for months.
