geek84 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Good Morning Folks I hope you're well and are very successful with your bettings! I am completely new to online football betting and a lot of work colleagues often discuss the wins that they make (usually small e.g. £10, £20, £50 etc), and it sounds like a bit of fun. I would like to be part of that fun and would be most grateful if you kind folks out there could provide me with any hints and tips of how to get started on online betting. Any advice greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi 84, I am not going to recommend a bookie for you but you could just take a look at the sites of the on-line bookies you have already heard of and register with the one that looks good to you. Only advice i would give is don't bet more than you can afford to lose. Have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the best for a reason and won't swamp you with all these enhanced offers because they don't need to.

Division Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I would second Bet365 as the best bookmaker to start off with and they will double your first deposit up to £200 so it would be good if you can maximize this as its a one time only deal. They also give you a free £50 bet in play on some games from time to time. As you are betting for a bit of fun I won't recommend that you have multiple bookies to get the best prices but if some day you decide to do that then use PayPal to move money easily between bookmakers. You can also take advantage of a few bookmakers signup bonuses to decrease your risk of betting with your own money. Bankroll management is important i.e. You will go on a run of losing bets and you need to bet a small enough percentage of your betting funds so this bad run won't empty your account. Generally speaking if you are betting on football, usually at odds of close to evens then simply betting 5% of your betting funds is a solid approach. When people are starting out they want to win a lot of money from a small amount bet (similar to the lottery) and this usually ends badly. If you really want to have a bit of fun and not deposit more than your initial deposit then your best chance of doing this is to bet singles (instead of accumulators). More advanced topics involve calculating and finding value but that is a good bit in the future for you. For now just keep a record of all your bets and see where you are losing the most money and gradually eliminate these bets. Good luck. Never bet what you are not willing to lose. There is no such thing as a sure thing. Pick7 and StevieDay1983 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
