IPhone 4 - What are the best betting apps?

[lTheShadowl]

I currently use ESPN ScoreCenter to get push notifications for games I bet. I've heard a lot about Sportacular, but the push notifications for that haven't worked since I downloaded it...

Any other good ones out there?

[BeeMore]

I just use ESPN Mobile Website

[JuicedUp]

I use score mobile but I'm not sure it has push notifications.

My favourite iPhone betting apps are Bet365 or Paddy Power because they've full app rather than optimized sites. According to iPhone Betting these apps are only available in the UK and Europe because Apple do not allow gambling apps in the states.

espn seems to be the best for me. i just got an iphone 4, had a 3g. sportacular was the best for a long time but when yahoo took it over and updated it it has not worked as well. sports tap is another one i use from time to time. they have push notifications also but i have not tried it

[Vesuvius]

The current one you have is the best out right now in the USA.

I use Sportacular

Up until recently I was using the Sportsbook.com iPhone betting apps. It's not a native app that can be downloaded from the App store, it's only a web app that can be used via the iPhones safari browser. Unfortunately, they've decided to stop accepting US players because of the FBI raids on PokerStars and Full Tilt.

There aren't very many US friendly iPhone apps so I had to do a bit of research. On the recommendation of iPhone Betting Apps I've been using Bookmaker.com for the past couple of weeks. The graphics are a little basic but the odds offerend are pretty good and I haven't had any problems depositing or withdrawing funds.

BetUS also have an iPhone optimized site that is US friendly but I have't tried that one yet.

Yeah I use the Paddy's app as well as the Betfair one.

If you like watching games mostly live (30-60 secs delayed in my experience) then the MLB.TV app is great...assuming you already subscribe to MLB.TV anyway and that you dont mind paying a few $$ for the App.

Not got the 2011 one but I think the 2011 one cost around £6 or £7 last year

[pafoley]

Got my first iPhone a few weeks back so I've been trying out the various betting options. I tried out the native apps first like PaddyPower, Betfair and Ladbrokes that can be found in the App Store. For me the Ladbrokes app was my favourite because you can watch live horse racing on the app once you've placed a bet of £1 or more.

I was also very impressed with the web apps provided by Bet365 and William Hill. There was very little difference between native and web app functionality.

I also love watching live sports on the iPhone when I get a chance. Since ipHone don't support Flash you need to install a browser called Skyfire to watch flash videos. For full instructions I found this article Watch Sports on the iphone that explains it better than I can. Been very useful for the US open and Wimbledon this week.

GREAT POST MAN YOU JUST MADE MY IPHONE EXPERIENCE 100 TIMES BETTEr

[pattymayo]

MLB At Bat 11 is great if you bet baseball. Helps to be connected thru wifi though. You can listen to any game, and they even give you 1 free game a day that you can watch.

[Gemoka]

can't believe how bad espn app is
doesn't even auto refresh. shocking

sportacular is even worse lately. that thing used to run so smoothly, now the scores only come up about 1 in every 20 times i try

[Gemoka]

another other sites better than those 2 Mike?

why have gamecast live when it doesnt work. The ******* adverts dont need refreshing I notice

[jjaycuny]

I hate espn app. The best one i think is score mobile. iOdds is good too for a shit load of sports

[RudyRuetigger]

Guys with the Sportacular App:

When you click something like NBA, it lists all the teams and game times...sometimes though, instead of having the game times it lists the spread/over under in green. i dont know if i misclick and it appears or what...but how do i get the odds up instead of game times???

Score Mobile automatically lists it with the team's record ATS

[Cabo]

Rudy - Shake your phone, that sould change from game times to odds, at least thats what happens with my I-Pod.

[krs]

iOdds does the job. Nothing fancy but you get current lines, opening lines, consensus/public picks (from where? I'm not sure.) and live scores while game is being played. As I said, no special features or fancy interface but, to quote an old TV show: "Just the facts, Ma'am."

[leafsfan19]

the new update of the score mobile app makes it the best by far

[RudyRuetigger]

Will be sending you both points as soon as I get some because these are both good and worked

Score Mobile automatically lists it with the team's record ATS

Only question...for the random ncaabb games how good are they at updating the scores quickly? i usually have to go online to sportsnetwork because sportacular is so slow.

so which is better at random ncaabb games? iodds or sportsmobile?

[Preston09]

I bet several different sports and I hate having to thumb through different sport tabs to find my bets, so I use scores and odds app cause you can select any teams you want on all sports and they will be on one page for the day Everytime you check. It's really easy. I also like the fact that it show lines O/U and public bet %.

you guys all do have the WatchESPN app too right? i think if your cable company supports espn 3 then you can access the watch espn app....far and away the best live sports app out there

[Gemoka]

Score mobile actually updates at the exact same speed and within the exact same time frame as sbr live odds.

[Preston09]

scoresandodds updates quickly. Every game you would need too.

[mattberg]

Have you guys tried Odds Insider yet? It's something me and a friend of mine actually worked on. We are new, but I think we have some cool stuff coming too. And we are about to sign a new deal to start providing some serious amounts of sports and data.

[BookieBasher191]

I always liked the Paddy Power app for Premier League betting, there's another one I can't remember but it's perfect for iPad.. i'll find it tomorrow when I have it back.

I also use the one called iAccumulator which complements my betting apps as I just plug in my selections and it tracks my accumulators for me, like SkySports score centre but its has more leagues and is more specific to accumulators as it has colour-coded indicators for whether you're winning or not!!

Will let you know if i find any other decent ones!!

Thanks

[PaperTrail07]

sportsmobile is a sold app to track EVERYTHING from karate to curling

[blowseq]

i use CBS SportCaster

[jjgold]

Most underrated one is SportsTap most underrated one

Bet365 APP is basically the same as mobile web site..identical actually

[ilovewinning]

Are there any recommendations for android? I just moved here from IOS.

[beermankirk]

I use accuscore app for prop comparisons, sports tap also uses them. Score mobile is great.
