Default New about Soccer

Hello

Im new in all of this.
I did some bets like 7 years ago on betandwin ( now bwin ) then stopped with it.

Im just looking around and saw some stuff about surebets, about some kelly systems etc. and have some money to spare on those stuff.

I mostly know just soccer and Im from Italy so if anyone could suggest me some trusted bookmark site.

I saw differents also "A Rated" but sometimes u see ppl complain about it.

Thanks for advice

Intertops (SBR Rated B+) is a solid book. The one thing you have to remember is that they are a recreational type book, so you will have to play accordingly. They do have prompt payouts and their lines are pretty good. However the software they use is very hard to navigate through IMO.

Soccer betting = pinnacle is the only choice, imo :-) Especially for big four leagues like Italy, they have those lovely -102/-103 odds the day before the match. Nobody else can even begin to compete with that, let alone american-focused books which tend to have very poor soccer odds.

Recreational type book means for players who bet mainly for entertainment purposes, sir.

Pinnacle give a 10% signup bonus, to max $500 I think. 12bet also give a signup bonus of some sort.

If you're looking for reload bonuses, pretty much any place that offers them will have rubbish soccer odds. Mansion88 are the only one I can think of - they have something like a dimeline and do 10% reload bonuses (to max $100ish I think) the last three months. Canbet are worse (16c or something?), but do fairly frequent and sizable reload offers.

Past that, the US books are way worse. For example, Diamond/betcris give frequent reload and betpoint bonuses, but only do 40 cent lines.

seems its totally different from the prev site that i was using.

for example i gone on the match Juventus - genoa . Dynamic lines

Juventus : theres some options like -0,5 and - 1 1.781
-1.5 2,820.

and genoa + 1 1,847
+0,5 2,490
etc

+1 genoa mean if genoa wins ?
and what is -1 or -1.5 ?

sorry but i was used just to 1X2

Those are asians handicaps, although they have 1x2 also. The purpose of a handicap bet is in reducing the three outcomes to two - eg with +0.5 if it's a draw you add +0.5, so you win.

Generally you get a lot better odds with asian handicap than with 1x2, although with pinnacle the gap isn't quite so enormous as with some others.

Have you checked out SboBet yet sir? They might not have an SBR rating at all, however many poster say they are a top tier book.

SBOBET is my prefered book for soccer. But in case he is not so experienced with asian odds he can use 188Bet because they have better 'normal' 1x2 soccer odds.

SBOBET and 188Bet offer Euro as currency. Both offer Moneybookers as payment method. 12Bet also offers Neteller additionally.

If a 'cool' site is most important for you better ask other people because I care more about profit than about colourful and entertaining websites. (Try bwin, they have also an italian version and look very 'cool'.)

pinnacle live kinda missed the south america matches , are 6-7 atm on.
Bwin same 0

188 Bet and Sbo are kinda good and they are on live.

I see in both site they ask for [Neteller (1-PAY)] , and maybe gonna ask them if I can upload 1500 euro or if its a problem, so I stop spam forum

Do you know already the bonuses they gives both sbo and 188 ? Looking for them on site but im blind

No bonus at SBOBET.

188bet has bonusses from time to time but I think with bad conditions.

These books are good because of their odds and high limits but not especially for bonus hunters.

Betphoenix are a pretty good balance - they do bonuses, and with soccer dimelimes. As far as I know they're unique in that.

I browsed all those bookies, Sbo Bet seems nice, specially the interface for booking, very clean and cool.

Now I sent a mail about if I can sign with neteller account from europe with inside euros but they didnt reply yet.

If you like a soccer book with Neteller you can chose 12Bet.

Interwetten have crap odds and tiny, tiny limts.

Expekt will allow larger bets, but their odds are fairly poor.
