Best site to place bets? 

Post#1 » by RRyder823 » Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:42 am

Not sure if this violates some rule (since this forum appears to have a sponser) so kids feel free to remove if this violates a rule but what sites do people use to place bets?

What type of betting?

I have retired from serious gambling and enjoy playing on draftkings for daily fantasy betting... Huge $1 bets just make watching the game more entertaining. If you're talking serious betting on spreads and under Over I'm not too sure but am curious what's around

It's not a violation to ask. I'm interested as well. Currently I use a buddy who lives in a state where it's legal. He bets from an app for me.

I do the same and would prefer to have my own account (illegal in AZ)

I use bodog, I like that they let me mix & match games and offer alternative spreads

I always bet on the 1/2 points, no pushes for me

5dimes, bovada, are the ones that i use primarily. The books in the states don't allow you to buy points.

Just go betting with bitcoin and you'll have no trouble with any law.

It's very interesting idea to use a buddy who lives in a US.

It isn't exactly like a normal online sportsbook, but it's actually legal in the US. So if you aren't in PA or NJ, this could be an option. It's called FendOff Sports. If you're interested to learn more: https://bonusseeker.com/free-casino-games/fendoff

Been using bookmaker.eu. Deposited with bitcoin. Never had any problems although I've never tried to withdraw so take it for what it's worth.

I tried bet365 once, thought it was pretty cool you could bet during the live game so i put $50 on the celtics who were up by 30 points at half... easy money right? It only paid 2 bucks but still gauranteed right? well they only won by 2 at the last second so it wasnt really gauaranteed, i said screw this, this is too nerve racking to make 2 bucks, so i take my winnings anda hit the slot machines, which got me a nice little jackpot of a coupl hundred, great i thought, the online slots machines arent scams, never won this much in an government run casino, wonder why. So i took my slots jackpot and off to the virtual blackjack table i went, they even have a real live dealer on camera, streamed to you, thats cool, next thing you know im puttind down $400 per hand in black jack, even got down to the last $400 and still put it all down and thanfully hit a streak after that and once i got to 5k I cashed out. Took like 15 days for them to wire it but itcame! It was still sketchy, they had me fill out this form and all the info they wanted from my bank was wierd and I thought just 1 thing wrong on it and they'd find an excuse not to send it so i really wasnt expecting it, but it came, this was like 8 years ago though and I havent used it since so i dont know what its like now but have to say I had a good experience. Until my dad asks me, whats this 50 dollar charge on my credit card? The celtics were up by 30 i told him, i had too, easy money, here look.

Not worth much because you never tried what the most important thing is for a sportsbook :lol:

Is mybookie.com legit? Says you can use a card but from what I've heard all US banks will decline CC transactions for sportsbooks. I don't use bitcoin.

I had a great deal with my friend living in a legal gambling state but he moved now I know no one who can place bets for me.

And it just so happens that withdraws from that site are a huge pain in the rear.
Unless you are only dealing with larger sums of money and infrequent withdraws I wouldn't recommend it as the fees for withdraws may exceed your winnings.

Not yet. Seems I either have to learn how Bitcoin works or eat $100 for a check by courier. Not opposed to the latter since I started with a low amount and have made many, many times that amount the last couple weeks. But since I don't care about losing my initial investment I'm gonna ride this for a while. Won again tonight on the Steelers after going 4-0 this weekend.

As long as you don't cash-out more than once in 90 days Bovada waives that Fee.
