How do you bet?

Do you go online or through a local?

Just curious because I've used both methods.

My local was a mickey mouse operation. They always overpaid me because they were terrible with their book keeping and getting cash on a weekly basis was much better then online.

However, many more options online.

Re: How do you bet?

i'm pretty sure i'm retiring from everything but betting my friends on the golf course.

went 36 today (lol 90 degrees i laugh at you) and they paid for all of it plus beer afterward. and i'm not even good.

so to answer your question, neither. pretty dumb question tho

Re: How do you bet?

I cannot comprehend how any (non-American) would bet anywhere other than Betfair. They exchange model (taking a position which you can change) is just so far superior to the bookmaking model - let alone the odds are almost always better.

Re: How do you bet?

why wouldn't any non US person bet on matchbook since they claim to be the most liquid market for american sports and offer the best odds?

Re: How do you bet?

they do offer the best odds and usually have enough liquidity for 2-3 wax people every mlb game on rl/ml/ou.

they are very solid for proles.

Are you in the 60pc premium charge bracket? That impacts less than one percent of their customers. To the regular - serious volume sports bettor they won't come close to getting hit with the premium charge.
