If there’s one thing I love about Vegas, it’s all the sportsbetting taking place. Just the other day I was strolling the Las Vegas Blvd when I happened upon Crazy Leroy’s Sports Book Bar and Grill. Here’s the scoop.

The famed Las Vegas Strip is home to the world’s most sizzling casino and sports-betting brands. You name it, it’s here in Vegas. I decided to see first- hand how sportsbetting operations take place from the bricks and mortar establishments of the world’s premier gaming paradise. Football betting is big in Vegas – huge in fact. What with the Superbowl and college football leagues taking center stage across the US. Much like their brothers in online sportsbooks – such as Ladbrokes.com – sportsbooks are lively betting stations.

At Crazy Leroys and others that I visited,  the grub is hot and the beer is flowing while the games are afoot. It’s not every day that we’re in Las Vegas mind you, that’s why Ladbrokes is such a popular and rewarding betting center. You even get £10 just for signing up – not too bad at all. And the NFL/American Football betting at Ladbrokes offers the best odds, money lines and up-to-the-minute information. Punters can also enjoy live-betting, mobile betting, full-on casino games and more at this stellar sportsbook.

Price per head Sportbook – Let the doctor tell you where to put you money on for pay per head betting.

Sign up for Football Multiples at Betfair

Football Multiples are all the rage at sportsbooks. This is how it works at Betfair. You place a small stake. There are doubles, trebles and other accumulators (I’ve played up to 8 or 9) and you get paid out ‘leveraged value’ cash amounts. It’s like windfall profits when you win. For more on football multiples check out this guide to sports betting.

There are 5 easy steps to placing your bets

1. Click on a coupon using on Betfair

2. Click on your choice of bets you wish to combine in the Multiples Bet

3. Enter your punting stake

4. Take a peek at your betting odds

5. Place your bets and enjoy the games

I don’t know about all you folks out there, but for me online gaming is all about variety. And what could be better than the full entertainment package at William Hill? I mean the gaming variety that’s available at WH regarding television specials is splendid. I have a musical side to me that finds plenty of comfort in shows like The X-Factor.

With William Hill you can get the latest scoop on singing sensations like Cher Lloyd and her song Turn My Swag On – but there are many others. Punting is possible directly through William Hill Sportsbook. I’ll sing an ode to William Hill   Cher Lloyd was at odds of 5/2 and New Direction at odds of 5/1.

Great television shows to punt on through William Hill

I love Strictly Come Dancing and the all-new series recently launched. With outright bets available and competitive odds on leading dancers – it’s piping hot.  This season there are 14 new celebs taking to the stage – including the likes of Kara Tointon and Ann Widdecombe. I’ll be jiving from the comforts of home and William Hill’s portal.

There are good time sports betting sites and then there’s Party Bets. This online sportsbook is part and parcel of the PartyGaming franchise that comprises PartyGammon, PartyPoker, PartyCasino and PartyBingo. This stellar brand brings all the power of top-tier sportsbetting to your doorstep in a matter of clicks.

Exciting promotions to boot

At PartyBets, players will be overwhelmed by generous promotional offers including this one that I found particularly enthralling: Enjoy 100% extra on your first deposit bonus of up to  €30 . This is even better than it looks because few, if any, operators are willing to go out on a limb for new punters, but Party Bets is. All it requires is opening up a new account, making a deposit and getting the party started. As wagering requirements would have it, you should turn over your bonus amount five times on odds of 2.0 or more before you receive your bonus cash – but that’s fair enough.

What sports can you expect to find at PartyBets?

You name it, it’s there and it probably includes the kitchen sink at Party Bets too. Some of the hot sports on offer include: American Football, Aussie Rules, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, MMA, Snooker and Pool, Summer Olympics, Tennis, Volleyball, Motor Sports, Ice Hockey and even Handball. What I particularly relish is the opportunity to place bets in real-time at PartyBets. This means you get to see real-life, changing odds which are particularly exciting for those last-minute punts. The live scores feature on PartyBets provides instant updates and invaluable information to bolster your competitive edge.

Before I get into the thick of it, I’d like to throw a few things out there about TitanBet. If you’re looking for a sportsbook that features variety, then this is for you. Imagine 7,500 daily bets and almost 2 dozen sporting categories to choose from. Now throw in live-play betting, stats galore and a wide range of betting lines and competitive sporting odds. Now we’re talking. This is the kingdom otherwise known as Titan Bet and it’s got plenty of juice for punters.

What’s hot on the Titan calendar?

How long’s a piece of string? The truth is that Titan is loaded with action-packed sports matches, contests and team events. There’s more going on than you can wrap your head around. Imagine the following options: motorsports, cycling, golf, ice hockey, snooker, rugby union, rugby league, cricket, boxing, baseball and football. My personal favourite is the FIBA Basketball World Championships and in this vein, TitanBet’s got it all covered.

Take a look at these stellar odds and standings:

• Greece –  2.4
• Turkey – 2.7
• Russia – 4.2
• Spain – 1.35
• Lithuania – 5
• France –  6
• Canada – 50.99

If you’re hoping for the USA as an outright winner your Titan odds are 1.36. Happy punting fellas!

Fans of the football have already enjoyed some of the most stunning entertainment with some surprise upsets in England, Korea, Mexico and the USA, but other teams have been showing incredible resolve and determination such as Japan, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain and Portugal. Naturally the performances of Diego Maradona’s Argentinean charges have left the world gasping in awe. The tournament favourites Brazil look set to lock horns in the final – barring no surprise upsets along the way.

For fans of other sports, there’s plenty to go around. The world of tennis is buzzing with the performances of top seeded players in Roger Federer, Jurgen Meltzer, Sharapova and Williams. Wimbledon truly is the ‘strawberries and cream’ tennis tournament of the year. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Americans will be cheering wildly for their most popular sport with the arrival of Super Bowl XLV. Sports fans will hoping that Saints will be able to make it 2 from 2 in the coming year. If Drew Brees can lead the attack once again, then this team is certainly the one to beat going into the next year.

In anticipation of the finale for the FIFA World Cup 2010 I’ve managed to fish out some stunning videos – here’s an example of one such example:
