What site do you use and how efficient are they with payouts? I've been thinking of using stanjames.com and Pinnacle Sports... Thanks.
Bodoglife formally bodog is very good for me. The most effective betters shop around looking for the best line. If you are just looking to do it casually it's still better to get one or two others to do some line shopping. Sportsbookreview.com gives reviews of every single website out there. No, I don't work for them, it's just a great tool many sportsbetters use before putting their money in a site.
I've checked that site out before, you're right; it is a great resource. The best lines I've seen are usually at Betfair... Right now I"m more interested in payout times as I've heard some are slow as ****.
I want to deposit by credit card only, and in the past no site would ever accept it. (I'm talking a few years ago) But just before the mosely/Cotto fight I was told that Bodog would accept it, and they did. So now I'm online with them. The layout of the site is very good and it's easy to keep track of all your bets and payouts/losses. I only bet casually so I doubt I'll bother looking up any other sites. Unless a dream betting fight such as Tito/Winky happens again, then maybe I'll come back and check this thread for the best line and take out another home mortgage..... :good
Stanjames has a great selection of boxing fights to bet on. Betfair tends to have the best odds I think. Try and make use of the free bets available when you sign up to betting websites.
What is meant by "Free bet?" At Bodog they gave me some "bonus cash" or something, as a precentage of what I deposited.
Bodog pays out immediately, but I don't think their spreads are great and they don't offer as many lines as I'd like. The advantage is if you also play poker, you can use the money there as well.
