Online Sports Gambling

by DiPietro (Senior Baboon, 194 Banana Points Points) on 9/11/08 at 6:05pm

There are more than a few of these services (Bodoglife, betus.com, bookmaker.com) available, but they all seem more than a bit sketchy. Does anybody have experience with a specific site they have found reliable as far as cash payouts and whatnot? NFL season is here and I need some entertainment.

I would probably avoid Bodog

I would probably avoid Bodog for the time being. The government is out to make an example of Calvin Ayre and have been putting the pressure on them. The Vancouver office just laid off close to their entire office. You'll still get your payouts at this point, but people have been reporting delays close to a month.

I consulted betus for a couple of months and they're a fairly good operation that stays under the radar. Go through the landing pages they have (http://www.betus.com/promo/football/getmore/) to take advantage of the bonuses.

You're going to find sketchiness on most sites due to the US's draconian online gambling laws, but they're mostly pretty decent. There are a ton of review sites out there as well, but keep in mind that they are mostly just giant affiliate portals - they don't care where you go as long as you make a deposit.

Intertops is a good site

I've never had a problem getting paid, and they offer a HUGE array of betting options including futures like presidential elections and American Idol-type shit if you're into that.

Thanks, I've seen quite a few of these before, but it's nice to hear some personal experiences.
