Bet365 is one of those unique sportsbooks, in that they do everything exceptionally well. Essentially, whether you are a casual or more frequent bettor, Bet365 is the spot for you. The good aspects of the shop include, an excellent and up to date website, over 1000 live betting and basic betting options to select from live streaming of games, and they are a public company, meaning you won’t ever have to worry about a slow payout. On the other hand, the MLB handicappers do not like Bet365, because they do not offer a low juice, and haven’t yet taken on American customers.

Nevertheless, we anticipate that final criticism to alter shortly, as many American sports handicappers, are scrambling to find new institutions to wager with, after the department of justice shut down a slew of the heavyweights in America. Also, with Bet365 rivals Victor Chandler and William Hill now accepting bettors from all over the world, it stands to reason, that Bet365 will make the change for their US customers. With that in mind, Bet365 still remains one of the top shops in the industry.

As we mentioned above, Bet365 is a publicly traded company, meaning you won’t have to worry about getting paid. It also means, that Bet365 is the parent company of various other businesses. For instance, Bet365 owns EPL franchise Stoke FC, which is constantly in the top 10 clubs in the nation. They also own Bowmans, which does serve American customers.

Similar to BetOnline, 5Dimes, and DSI, the main appeal to Victor Chandler, is its large array of betting lines and live betting options. We compare Victor Chandler specifically to BetOnline for two other reasons, the customer service is outstanding and year round accessible, while the shop caters directly to casual bettors. Now, that doesn’t mean they will ever turn anybody away, but the betting lines provide the impression, that the book is catering to new and casual bettors. For all intents and purposes, if you are just looking for a shop to wager with for the Super Bowl, and to predict the NFL scores, then Victor Chandler is for you.

Now, with every sportsbook there is plenty of bad to go along with the good. As bettors, new or more experienced, our goal is to find the sportsbooks that have more good then bad to them. At Victor Chandler, there isn’t much to complain about, as aside from lots of betting options, an excellent customer service department and quick payouts, Victor Chandler’s reputation speaks for itself. Nevertheless, if there was ever a flaw to point out with the shop, it would be, the small bonus’s offered and the low betting limits. The latter of which is why Victor Chandler is a casual betting sportsbook.

Whether you are new or experienced in the world of online gambling, if you are looking for a new sportsbook to join, the first ones you’ll avoid are the ones that can’t pay you. TopBet falls into this category, as they have had complaints ranging from slow payouts to in some cases no payouts. Meaning to say, if you can’t pay your clients, everything else you offer falls by the waste side. There have also been reports, that the old owners of TopBet are leaving, and the company is in a state of flux. With this being the case, many people are avoiding opening accounts with TopBet.

As well, the people who do have accounts with TopBet, are looking to close them and start fresh. Trouble with the latter approach is, that the bettors still want their money, so they are stuck waiting for TopBet to get their act together. However, after reading how poorly TopBet is dealing with customer complaints, you may be wondering why they haven’t shut down entirely. One reason describes why this hasn’t happened, marketing. Despite the aforementioned slow payouts, TopBet remains in business, because it attracts new bettors with their flashy website, 50 percent welcome bonus and VIP program. Anytime you can make someone feel special, it buys you time regardless of your payout structure.

Skybook is the home of the free half point system, which means, that the bettor can receive a lot more value for their money, then what they normally would. The free half point, allows for you to move the point spread line on NFL and NBA games just enough, that you don’t get cheated by the juice price set down by the line makers. In other words, the free half point gives you better value, then if you were to join a site such as matchbook, which requires that you pay juice for them to match you with a sportsbook of your choice.

Aside from the free half point, Skybook also provides its clientele with the option of a good initial deposit, and is one of the safest and most secure sportsbooks, that also provides a good payout. These latter two points can’t be stressed enough, as far too many times a shop will advertise that it provides safe and secure depositing methods, but then makes it difficult for the client to collect the winnings from their account. On the other hand, the bad part of Skybook is that because it spends so much time offering point value and quick payouts, it hasn’t really spent much attention on things such as the site layout.

Being a good stockbroker is as much about making a personal connection with clients or businesses, as it is about properly researching, to provide you with the best odds to buy or sell a specific stock. In the sports gambling industry, handicappers, spend as much time making connections with bookie software sites, as they do reading the daily line in the local newspaper. In other words, the handicapper, is looking to make connections, so that when he or she places a bet on the number five horse at 80 to one odds, they have an inside edge that will allow them to make a profit by the end of the day.

Comparable to the stock market industry, the sports betting industry is about playing percentages towards everything. For the average handicapper, if they can win between 45 to 55 percent of their NFL bets, they are considered the top of their industry. At the same time, a stockbroker who can sell five out of 10 stocks is laughing, because they have made a profit on half of their selections for the day.

Sports betting in fact is a better investment then the stock market, because of the amount of return on your wagers. For instance, in the earlier example of taking a horse with odds of 80 to one, you could stand to make between double to 100 times more money on the line, depending on how much money you put down. On a stock, you have to wait a few days, even weeks to make a significant profit.

Depending which one of our colleagues you read, the winner of Alabama v LSU should be considered the best school in the nation. In our humble bookie software agent opinions, we disagree with this viewpoint. To us, the National Champion should be determined based on not only a good record, but also by teams in elite conferences winning their conference’s championship game. In any other season, LSU v Alabama would have never happened for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the two teams already played each other, due to a scheduling issue and LSU proved they were the better team. Secondly, both teams are in the same conference, and it is rare that two teams from the same conference meet in a normal bowl game let alone the National Title game. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, because of their loss to LSU, Alabama wasn’t able to qualify for their conference championship game, so why should they receive a National Title berth?

Throwing all three of those previous points out the window, and fans from around the nation will argue, that the two best teams are basically playing each other. With this in mind, we truly feel that the rematch will go the same way as the first contest, ending in an LSU victory. LSU has proven the entire season, that they are far and away the class of the NCAA.

Jones and Machida will cap off what is set to be one of the best UFC PPV events in the history of the sport. As once again, the Light Heavyweight division, which by the way has carried the company all year long, will be on full display. On the card as a whole, there will be not one but two major fights to determine the landscape of the Light Heavyweight division.

The aforementioned Jones v Machida fight is scheduled to be fought over Jones Light Heavyweight title. It has been a dream year for Jones, as he has fought three times heading into the December 10^th card. Jones became the number one contender for the Light Heavyweight belt in February then he won the belt in March, successfully defended it in September and is expected to successfully defend it again on the 10^th against Machida. Now that isn’t to say Machida is a bad fighter, as he was a former champion, but that was almost two years ago.

The other major Light Heavyweight match on the card, is Tito Ortiz against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Nogueira and has twin are both scheduled to fight on the card, but this is the fight most fans will focus on initially. Essentially, the winner of the bookie software fight between Ortiz and Nogueira is expected to challenge the winner of Jones v Machida in their next title defense. For the sports betting enthusiasts around the UFC, a Jones v Nogueira fight would be the best.

On paper, no team is better than the North Carolina Tar Heels, who will be returning four of five starters from last year’s squad. The quadruplet tandem of Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Kendall Marshall, give UNC one of the deepest starting rosters in the schools illustrious program. In fact, many people, we included, would go as far as to say, that these four guys could be a scary force in the NBA when the lockout resumes, if they all landed on the same team. Can anyone stop the Tar Heels?

Keeping it in the ACC, the Duke Blue Devils will once again be hanging around contending for a Final Four berth. If all goes according to plan, Coach K and the boys will be in a different division during the March Madness tournament, which in turn will allow them to get to the final four. On paper, this is one of the weaker defensive Duke squads, but with the addition of Austin Rivers as the starting point guard, should stay in games this year thanks to their offense.

Kentucky Wildcats are another team that should by all accounts qualify for the final four. We mean similarly to North Carolina, the Wildcats have a scary roster that could give NBA teams the shakes. Pencil them in for a final four berth barring any injuries.

Syracuse Orange are a veteran team that would round out the final four in anyone’s brackets. The senior dominated roster, indicates to fans and media alike, that the Orange are looking to make this the year they win the National title.

The Green Bay Packers are appearing more and more like a team that will repeat as Super Bowl champion. Not seen since the late 1990s Denver Broncos, the 2011 Green Bay Packers are considered by many to be better then the 2010 Packers that won their first Super Bowl in 17 years. Led by all world quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers house the best odds in the NFL, at five to two. The Packers have found a way to pull out wins when they’ve had too, but for the most part appear to be on a joy ride to the playoffs. If the Super Bowl were today, we are certain that Green Bay would win again.

If any team in the NFC is going to upset the Green Bay Packers and qualify for the Super Bowl, that team seems to be 2010 Super Bowl winners the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing to the Packers on opening day, Drew Brees and the Saints have been cruising as well for most of the 2011 season. Brees is fortunate this season, to be on the same team as Darren Sproles and former Alabama stand out Mark Ingram. As a result of this trio, the Saints have eight to one odds of making it back to the Super Bowl, after missing out last season.

Richards automatically gives the Kings a top center that is capable of providing a boost at both ends of the ice and in all situations. Perhaps most importantly, Richards also takes some of the pressure off of Anze Kopitar, who continues to develop into one of the most dangerous scoring threats in the NHL. While Kopitar leads the offense with Justin Williams and free agent addition Simon Gagne on his wings, Richards leads a second line that has the potential to breakthrough. Los Angeles also managed to lock up young defenseman Drew Doughty with a long-term deal, and with Jonathan Quick and Jonathan Bernier pushing eachother for playing time in goal, the Kings are deep in all areas of their game. One year after failing to live up to the lofty expectations that were placed on them, Los Angeles appears ready to contend in the Western conference. Richards adds another element to the Kings, and that could make them legitimate pay head threats to win it all.
