This is my first venture into online betting, just looking for the simplest and easiest site to use. Mostly will use it for nba games and wont be betting alot of money. No interest in casinos or poker or anything else, just the 4 major sports but mostly nba. I signed up at BetUs but obviously should have done more research here cause apparently that place aint the best, i made a $100 deposit and have won a couple small bets but i have a rollover and have no idea what that even means. Thanks in advance!

#2look above - legends.com 100% cash for $100 deposit, betjamaica 100 free play for 100 betonline.com and thegreek.com all great
consider payout cost too..if you win, you have to pay to receive your money. Ask what free options they have to offer.Comment -

So let's say you deposit $100 and the book has a stipulation that you cannot withdrawal any money until you do a 2x rollover on your balance. You would have to wager the equivalent of $200 before you could consider withdrawing. Usually the book calculates rollover as the risk or win amount (whichever is lowest) but this varies by book.
If you're just a recreational bettor and pretty much bet for action and you are located outside the USA pinnacle or any of the large asian books are good choices. If you're from the USA 5dimes, BETjamaica are decent enough.
If you want to actually take things seriously I suggest you open an account at a no post book (where you don't have to deposit) like freesportsbet. You can get wet at the book and not worry about losing money which you will at first. Save the real bets until you have an edge.

#145 Dimes, Betjamaica, Greek.When calling the sportsbooks make sure you get the persons name that you spoke to.This way you have a contact.Secondly,always check bet minimums on-line & over the phone.(this is important if you are a small player)Thirdly make sure of payouts.A free pay-out a month is great-aspecially if your starting bankroll isn't that much.Lastly always confirm with them a few times what the roll over requirement is(& are all bets included in the roll)Keep records,dates,names etc.so that if there is a problrm you have the correct information at hand.

#23Professionals usually prefer books such as pinnacle, 5dimes, bookmaker etc. due to high limits and good odds.
The minor things such as the fact that you have to pay fees for payouts is not considered to be such a problem, although it might be for the recreational player.
Therefor I would also recommend bet365, they act in many ways as a professional book, but carry the resemblance to the toy-bookies through their bonuses, payouts and customer service.Comment
