The FIFA World Cup 2010 may be over, but the sporting calendar is only just getting started with a treasure-trove of super promotional offers for punters the world over. I particularly enjoy the FIBA Basketball World Championships. Join me, as together we catch the latest buzz, stats and live betting odds here at the King of the Ring – TitanBet.

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.

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.

Greece – 2.4
Turkey – 2.7
Russia – 4.2
Spain – 1.35

How to select a sportsbook

karen — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 05:40:43 +0000

Trying to select the online sportsbook that is best for you is no easy task and can be somewhat overwhelming to the novice. It will take some research to find the right one but it’s no different to researching the teams or players before a match to decide where to place your money. So here are some tips on the details that I check out before registering somewhere new:

I would only consider signing up to an online sportsbook that has a solid reputation and favourable independent reviews. You can check the forums to see what other punters have said about them and make sure that there are no or minimal reports about people not receiving their winnings. Generally speaking, the sportsbooks that are affiliated with the larger, trusted online casinos are credible.
Check the promotional incentives on offer. If you are an old hand playing at online casinos, be warned that whilst there are bonuses in the online sports betting world, they won’t be as attractive as what you have become accustomed to.
Also make sure that any sportsbook that you are considering registering with offers bets for the sports and leagues that you follow otherwise its really not much use to you obviously.
Plus, how up to date is their news section? If you are the type of bettor who is a little more serious about profit rather than just placing a bet on your favourite team to make the match a bit more interesting, then no doubt you’re looking for a sportsbook that is serious about the most recent developments before the big match.
Finally, check that there is around the clock customer service and support in case something goes wrong or you have a question.

Online sports betting ever more popular

karen — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:56:10 +0000

It seems that more and more punters are abandoning land based sports betting facilities in favour of online sportsbooks to place their bets. Vegas casinos are finding it increasing difficult to compete with online sportsbooks. The gaming industry has taken a massive hit due to the global economic downturn and there are just fewer gambling dollars to be spread around. But the cause of the migration from land based casinos to online sportsbook is not solely a result of the recession. Players are now recognising that there are so many other advantages to the virtual world.
If you are decreasing your personal budget for gaming pleasure, it makes sense that you would chose to play online rather than spend part of that allowance on travelling to somewhere like Vegas and then also forking out for accommodation.
Here are some of the other deal clinchers that I could think of for online sports book vs betting at land based casinos:
1. Online sportsbooks typically offer better bonuses (such as deposit and redeposit bonuses) as they have lower overheads.
2. Greater convenience since you can place a bet any time of day or night and can avoid the queues.
3. When you place your bet online, you have the option of adjusting it at any point – even throughout the game.
4. Proposition bets available in many Las Vegas casinos have been performing poorly whereas online sportsbook have been performing better in this regard.
5. You can find higher and lower betting limits (sometimes a low as $1).

Sportsbook bonuses

Most sportsbooks will offer you a sign-up and/or a reload bonus which can prove to be rather profitable. Other than the bonuses I describe here, also keep an eye out for other miscellaneous types of bonus like refer a friend or cashback bonuses.

Sign-up bonuses – Many sportsbooks are connected in some way to an online casino (just like 888sport.come which I reviewed last week) so if you also play at the casino, check whether you can claim the sign-up bonus at both the casino and the sportsbook. You might find that you can only claim it at one or the other.

Cashable bonuses – These are similar to cashable bonuses offered by casinos in that you cannot withdraw the bonus until you have fulfilled the wagering requirement. Wagering requirements are also known as playthrough requirements and are intended to prevent players from cashing out after accepting a bonus without even playing. Fortunately, you will find, however, that wagering requirements are lower for sportsbook (typically about 3 times) than casino bonuses (usually somewhere between 20 to 30 times). Since you usually need to wait sometimes days for a bet to complete, satisfying wagering requirements through sports betting can be painfully slow!

Sticky bonuses – These are a non-cashable bonus meaning that whilst they can be bet, they can’t actually be cashed out. When you make a withdrawal from your account, it will be deducted from the withdrawal total. Sportsbooks often offer a non-withdrawable free bet.
