Betting Questions

Are there sites to absolutely avoid?

And is it possible to use a prepaid Visa card, like one of the Vanilla Visa cards? I've heard that many sites won't take prepaid Visa, unless the card is good for international use, which many are not.

So what would be the best US based betting site? I went to Sportsbook to see their ratings of sites, and have filtered it to be just the US, but I just contacted Sportbet.com, and they said they're in Costa Rica... I'm getting a bit confused...

I don't want to give my credit card to a foreign betting website.... But I want to bet on 196.

I currently have an account with betonline.ag , but it has no cash or anything linked to it.
For Americans

#1 5dimes
#2 Bookmaker
#3/#4 BetOnline and Bovada
 
What website allows you to bet on decisions, sub, ko etc?
im using bookmaker, topbet, bovada and i dont see an option.
 
I think Bookmaker offers it atleast, but they don't get released until closer to the event.
5dimes and Bet365 is other good alternatives that offers it. 5dimes is probably the best bookie for MMA, early lines and good props selection. and Livebetting

i heard good things about 5 dimes but 5dimes is a PITA to deposit $.
 
I'm currently on 5dimes and Pinnacle (and can bet on BetStars but their lines are usually terrible), what would be the best couple of sites to add for the most value? Value in the form of bets that aren't offered at 5d/Pinnacle, value in the form of earlier lines, differing lines or whatever kind of value I may be missing.
I'm based in Europe so should be able to deposit on most sites.

i'm not euro, but unibet seems like it'd be a good one to have - earlier lines, etc. otherwise, sounds like you know 5d is the place to be

I seem to be almost the only one that uses this book, but i quite like Marathonbet. They only offer moneylines, but lines are less juiced that most other eurobooks like Unibet.
For instance, they have lines for Rothwell/Dos Santos at -108/-106 (1.92/1.94) atm

If I was in Europe besides 5Dimes and Pinnacle, I'd open accounts at Unibet, Bet365 and William Hill to take advantage of their live betting.

I don't think a vpn would work for most us books, try betonline as it'\s one of the few US books I can use from the UK. pinnacle might be worth a shot too. outside of US books, It might be worth your time looking into some of the asian ones like 12bet.com, 188bet,fun88 and others. Also bet 365 in mandatory and seen as they are the biggest book in the world I think that would be your best bet. other euro ones like ladbrokes, betfair, williamhill are worth trying to register too as they are some of the bigger ones so might be more likely to accept accounts from qatar.

not great lol, you get 1 free withdrawal a month and it has to be on a friday, else there's fees. but I rarely bet there so it's not a big deal for me. bit of a pain in the ass as well, you gotta send email to withdraw too. also you need to be wary of any potential exchange rate changes if you have money tied up in their for longer term bets, but they could work in your favor too.
 
Is there a website that lets you enter in your risk amount and it tells you the return?

Example:
I put $25 on -148 and I get ___ in return
I put $15 on +239 and I get ___ in return

Just add a decimal and divide for favorites or multiply for underdogs. So in your example:

$25 / 1.48 = $16.89
$15 X 2.39 = $35.85

I just joined Bodog (first time betting) and I don't see an option on here

They will put some props closer to fight time. For the undercard they usually only have each fighter inside the distance and by decision. On the main card they add KO, sub, etc.

You should setup a 5Dimes account if you can. They are much better.

Thanks for the info
 
Im thinking if starting to bet occasionally on some fights. I know the very basics, as in who's favored and the payouts, but how do you guys do it in application?

What sites are best/safest?

How does the money get transferred and what about taxation?

If you're betting on Vegas sites does it matter if gambling is legal in your state?

If there's anything else i should know it would really be appreciated. Thanks for any help-
 
Guys what are your experience with hedging a moneyline with another livebet moneyline? My friend was banned from bet365 back in the day for doing this. Anyone else with a similar experience?
