How To Pay For Sports Bets

Ever since starting EZeSportsBetting I’ve had family and friends asking me about the best, most secure ways to pay for sports bets online. Naturally, just about all online sports betting site will accept credit card to pay for sports bets. The problem is there are a lot of punters out there who just do not want to give their credit card details online. Not surprising either considering the amount of wankers out there who are just waiting to see if the can gain access to your credit card details. Sure, it’s rare but it does happen. It was only about a month ago that the ANZ bank cancelled my credit card when they notice some shady transactions that occurred online.

Best Most Secure Ways To Pay For Sports Bets

  • PayPal: Probably the most popular way to pay for you internet purchases, whether it’s placing a bet on the races, online gambling sites or buying something on eBay is PayPal. Unfortunately the amount of betting site that accept PayPal is limited. To date I’ve found one lottery site, Oz Lotteries, and one online spots betting site, Sportingbet
  • Neteller:I mentioned Neteller in my post How To Bet And Win. Joining NETELLER will give you access to just about all of the online sports betting and gambling sites, except Sportingbet for some reason. Not to worry guys, I’ve found a great sport betting site that does accept Neteller. More about that in another post. 
  • Skrill: Another great way to pay for sports bets is Skrill. With Skrill you can send and receive money abroad, instantly. Yes, you can use Skrill with Sportingbet. 😉

Of course there are many other sites online that would allow you to pay for sports bets but I’ve always found too many options only confuse things. That’s why I’ve only provided, what I believe to be the best three.

Look for a future post which will show you how to use these sites to help you be a responsible gambler.

How To Bet And Win

Truth be told it’s virtually impossible to always bet and win. Lets face it, gambling is hardly ever a sure thing. The usual outcome of placing a bet is that you’re going to lose, right? This is especially true at casino’s, whether in real life or online. When I visit the casino I always allocate a certain amount to lose. Even when I win I tend to pump my winnings back. Reckon what I need is to invest in a Gamble Box.

Bet And Win In Sports Betting

This is why I decided to go the sports betting route on my online sports betting venture. My sport of choice is naturally the AFL because I know more about the AFL than any other sports. I wrote about a couple of my bets in the Sportingbet Review post. Because I am all about Responsible Gambling I allowed myself a $30 budget for the month. I blew that in three weeks. What does that tell me? Simply that I don’t know as much as I thought I did about the AFL teams. Also that I let my emotion over my team, the Adelaide Crows, overrule any logical betting procedure. Emotion should never play a part when trying to bet and win.

When placing my next bet I have to be more aware of injuries, performances, whether or not the home advantage is enough to get them over the line. I’m sure if I take all this and more into consideration I will have more of a chance when it comes to betting and actually winning.

Bet And Win On Sportingbet

I like Sportingbet because their app makes sports betting online so easy. The fact that they accept PayPal is also a bonus, although it would have been nice if they also accepted Neteller. Oh well, they may take them on later.

Anyway, if you’re pretty good at your footy picks then you may want to have a go at placing some sports bets online. They don’t have to be big wagers either because sure you can win more if you bet big but then you can also lose more. For me, when it comes to betting on sports online it’s more about the extra thrill of watching a game you placed a bet on than anything else. Naturally the added thrill of winning would be pretty cool too, which is why I intend to do a lot more research before placing the next bets.

Something else to keep in mind is that, usually, it’s the long shot that pays the most. So, if you think that in a particular game the underdog actually has a chance of winning it might be worth placing a few bucks on them as a side bet.

So, what’s your tactics when it comes to placing a bet on your favourite sport?

William Hill For Online Betting

Man, I am really bummed out. I’ve been doing a lot of research on William Hill and I have to say they have really impressed me. When joining any online site the first thing I look for is how long they have been online. The longer they’ve been operating the more legitimate they are. This makes perfect sense when you consider that scam sites lack longevity. Not only that, scam sites attract a lot of negative online attention. I’m happy to say William Hill came out pretty well.

As to their longevity, bricks and mortar wise they’ve been around since 1934! In this time they’ve grown into a well respected, recognised and trusted brand in the betting industry. They employ over 16000 people in 18 different countries! Once again, this shows me they’re serious about their industry. The fact they’ve been around so long is due to their honesty, trust worthiness and dedication to customer satisfaction.

What William Hill Has To Offer

What really impressed me was the amount of services William Hill has to offer. As you’ve probably guessed from my last post about Sports Betting, I’ve developed a taste for betting on the AFL. That being the case I made sure that William Hill had a sports betting feature. You can actually bet on almost any sport in the world. Shit, you can even bet on politics. Who would have thought politics was a sport? I always thought they were more of a talkfest. Then again, maybe you bet on who can talk for the longest 😀

William Hill also allows you to play Bingo online. They have several casinos including EuroGrand Casino and the William Hill Casino Club. They’ve even got a live casino. Once you’re in the online ‘live casino‘ it’s as if the Casino is in your very own room!

So, why I am I a little pissed off? It’s because I’m am Aussie and as you can see from the image below, they don’t accept members Aussie members.
