Selecting Top 10 Bookmakers Online

Choosing your bookmaker can be like choosing a good bottle of wine – although there are some which are a lot better than others it all depends upon what it is that you are looking for.

Having many accounts and taking advantage of the best odds around is the most common strategy amongst punters, but it is wise to look a little deeper at times.

Bookmaker Trust

First and foremost you should be able to trust your bookmaker. Before opening account it is always worth taking the time to read the reviews here on Betting Expert which will advise you of any potential pitfalls.

Although the vast majority of bookmakers will treat your personal and banking details with the greatest of care and respect and the so called ‘bad apples’ are few and far between; if they haven’t been reviewed by us then either ask us to do so or approach with caution.

Bookmaker Odds

Our tipster sections here at Betting Expert will naturally pick out the best betting odds and which bookmakers you should go to in order to take full advantage. If you are looking to do a bit of research yourself then there are various odds comparison sites which will help point you in the right direction.

It is also worth noting that although the exchanges will often claim to offer better odds to their customers, when taking the commission rates into account you can quite often be better off placing your bets at a traditional online bookmaker.

Bookmaker Live Betting

The exchanges have such a stranglehold on the Live Betting markets that it is often difficult for the traditional bookmaker to make inroads into this section of the industry. However, as their advertisement campaign suggests, Bet365 are at the forefront of the attempt to do so.

They offer in-play betting on a wide range of markets at competitive and realistic odds across the board. If in-play betting is your forte then look no further than Bet365.

Type of Betting

Your bookmaker of choice should also depend on what type of betting you prefer. If you’re looking for Asian Handicap betting then 12bet should be your bookie of choice, if it’s promotions you’re looking for then Unibet are a good option. Again, the reviews here at Betting Expert will help you find whatever it is that you are looking for.
