BOOKMAKERS & Betting

       
  Free Bets
Bookmakers all over the internet provide sign-up bonuses to new clients.  With around 15 major bookmakers all vying for trade you can sometimes accumulate hundreds of pounds worth of free bets if you carefully choose your bookmaker and the way you stake in the first few bets with them.		  
       
 

   
 

Traditional Bookmakers
These bookies will provide a service which allows you to bet at SP (Starting Price) or to take a price.  They also allow you to have multiple bets such as doubles trebles, Lucky15's and yankees etc..  Some may provide other services such as Casinos, Bingo and Poker.

 
       
 

   
 

Exchanges
These websites are all betting exchanges.  Here, you tend to bet in singles most of the time and you are always betting against other people, rather than a bookmaker.  As a result the odds available are usually 20% better than with traditional bookmakers.  Most exchanges offer other person to person betting opportunities as well as sports betting.

  
       
       
 

Spread Betting
Spread betting is another flavour of gambling, where you are betting on an event and paid according to how correct or incorrect you are.  Horseracing spread betting often revolves around an 'index' - a set of results the spread betting company believes will occur - and you 'buy' or 'sell' according to whether a horse will be closer to the lead at the finish, or further away.

 
       
       
  Odds Comparison
One of the major growth areas in the last few years has been the use of odds comparison sites and betting through them with the online bookmakers.  These sites allow you to view a huge amount of bookmaker odds all at once so you can make the best investment decision.
