Online Betting And Why It’s So Popular

There is no doubt about it, online betting is popular and is growing every day as more and more punters join the growing online betting crowd. So what makes online betting so popular? Lets have a look at some of the more popular reasons for the popularity of online betting.

 Top 5 Reasons For Online Betting

  • Ability to shop around for best online betting odds. Online betting not only allows punters to get the best odds available, it also allows them to take advantage of any special deals offered by the online betting sites. That’s one of the reasons why I advocate joining more than one online betting portal. That’s why I’ve joined both bet365 and William Hill and will more likely than not join one or two more.
  • Online sports betting makes placing a bet on any given sport as easy as picking up a laptop or pulling their smartphone out of their pocket or handbag. Gone are the days where you have to leave the comfort of your home to drive down to your nearest brick and mortar betting agency. Think of the savings in petrol and wear and tear to your car, not to mention the time savings. Even if you used to place you bets via phone, there’s no more having to listed to crappy music while you’re put on hold. Also there’s not more having to put up with some snotty person on the other end of the line.
  • Lower Stakes due to online betting. As I haven’t placed a bet before joining the online betting fraternity I have no first hand experience of this. I know that William Hill allows me to place a bet as low as 50 cents and that bet365 allows a wager as low as 25 cents. This alone is a great advocate for responsible gambling. It’s also a great way for the casual punter to enjoy all that online betting allows him without breaking the bank.
  • How often have you wished you could place a bet on a particular sport or race but couldn’t because you were at work, at a function or on a family vacation? Online sports betting means you can place a bet on any sport no matter where you are.
  • Online betting increases the exposure of sports you’re allowed to place a bet on. This is because online betting sportsbooks exposures the online punter for almost all sports no matter where they’re being played in the world. As you know I placed a bet on Germany to beat Argentina just the other day whilst sitting down and writing the post.

As you can see there are a lot of advantages for having an online betting account. If you have any others that you would like to add just leave a comment below.

I’ve put together two online betting collages of screenshots of the two online sports betting sportsbook that I have joined so far.

NFL Cheerleaders Hot Sports Babes #4

When it comes to Hot Sports Babes I don’t think anyone would questions that the hottest sports babes would have toHot Sport Babes Houston Cheerleaders In Action be cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are really big in America and this isn’t surprising in the least considering it originated there. The whole idea of cheerleading was to inspire their teams to win. What a bonus that it also inspired and thrilled the spectators. 🙂

It’s also not surprising that cheerleading actually became a sport in its own rite. However, when considering it as a sport I’m not referring to the sideline cheerleaders that we see at the NFL and basketball. As reported in Teen Ink their main aim is “to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. On the other hand, competitive cheerleading is a sport.” Reckon I’ll leave competitive cheerleading hot sports babes for another post.

Actually, now that I mention it, according to my recollection the bring it on series of movies are probably one of the best ways to see some of the competitiveness involved in cheerleading as a sport. If you haven’t seen the movie yet then the Bring It On: Cheertastic 3-Movie Pack is for you.

But back to the sexy online sideline sports babes cheerleaders that we all know and love. I’ve put together a collage of Hot Sports Babes Cheerleader for you all to admire and drool over 😉

bet365 Results For World Cup Bet

My bet365 Results For 2014 World Cup Final

Did I not tell you in my last bet of the week that Germany were going to win the 2014 World Cup! The image on the right shows you bet365 results world cupmy bet365 results for the 2014 World Cup wager. You may want to compare that bet365 results with the image on that post. You may notice that even though Germany won the 2014 World Cup I didn’t win anything. It actually turned out to be a losing bet. WTF!

I actually wasn’t surprised because the same thing happened when I placed a bet with Sportingbet. I wrote about it in the post, When A Win Is Not A win. The problem is even though they won they didn’t do it the allotted 90 minutes. They only won after the game went into extra time. Apparently, that does not count. So, that’s 5 bucks down the drain, but then that’s the way things roll in the betting world right.

You may have noticed that even though I got all the other bets wrong those lovely guys at bet365 returned my wagers back. I’m not sure why, but I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouse. I’m more than happy to take it.

I did do a bit of research though and I did manage to find the following.

World Cup Final News

So, that was my bet365 result for last weeks bet of the week. it’s now time to have a look at what some of the news services have to say about the 2014 World Cup Final.

News.com.au has some brilliant photos. They talk about Messi being named this World Cups best player while German Manuel Neuer was named the tournament’s best goalkeeper! and was given the Golden Glove.

BBC news, rather than report the World Cup German victory has decided to go with a political article. “World Cup. Will German Victory Help Angela Merkel” I don’t want to show my ignorance but I’ve never heard of Angela Merkel and therefore I couldn’t care less if it helped her political career.

I thought that Fox News Latino World Cup Final article was pretty good. But then you kind of expect that from the guys at Fox News. If you didn’t get to actually see the World Cup final you’ll find that the Fox News narrative very informative. I especially liked the way they described the winning goal.
[contentbox bgcolor=’f2f2f2′ border=’999999′ borderwidth=2 flareshadow=400 width=400 left=”yes”]In the 113th minute, he centered the ball perfectly to striker Mario Gotze, who had entered in the 88th minute. Gotze brought the ball down with his chest, and, as he was falling, drilled the ball into the far end of the goal with his left.

One of the prettiest goals you will ever see, on the biggest stage imaginable.[/contentbox]

Just to finish off, I managed to find some Germany vs Argentina 2014 World Cup Final video.
