Default Online sports betting?

This is for all of you guys who bet on sports online. I am looking to find a good sportsbook online and I think I have found one. Its www.betonsports.com. Does anyone use any other site or have experience with others?

Thanks for the plug, Mingster. Check this link, Elements.

I believe that the biggest online sportsbook is William Hill in England. However, they will not accept bets from the US because they cannot keep track of local laws against online wagering, nor do they want to. (Online wagering is illegal in California, for example.)

Other sites that I know to be reputable are CanBet in Australia, Intertops in Antigua, and Bet365 in England.

I know nothing about BETonSPORTS, except that they are also in Antigua.

If you plan to engage in online wagering, please read the rules carefully. On one site--I don't recall which--there is a $15 service charge to remove your money from your account; you want to avoid such ridiculousness.

I just learned that Intertops has recently changed its rules so that you cannot take money out of your account more often than once every two weeks without substantial penalties--it was Intertops that had the $15/withdrawal charge.

So you not only have to be careful to check the rules when you join, you need to make sure that you carefully monitor the changes to those rules.

Good luck!

Don't use www.sportsbook.com. They are a pain to get your money(winnings) from.

NCAA, Week 2: our recommendations went 22 - 16 - 1 for a profit of 11% on money wagered.

MLB, September 1: our recommendations went 5 - 4 for a profit of 98% on money wagered.

Not a bad way to end a weekend.



This week: NFL starts!

I use www.bodog.com, and they are also in Costa Rica. I have had no problem getting my money from them.

I hit 2 - 2 Team parlays; 1 - 3 team parlay, and missed my 5 team by 3 points!
