Bookmakers

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Anders Nielsen | Articles

PuntersParadise is totally independent. We don’t make affialiate deals with bookmakers - since punters coming from PuntersParadise are winners there would be no commision earned anyway. However, as a punter it is important that you a range of outs to get the best line available and likewise it is important to choose your outs carefully as to not get stiffed.
We would like to offer some advice on how to find the best available line and thourghts you should employ in selecting your outs.

Shop for best line

In your sportsbetting 98% of the time you are looking at bets offering an edge of 2-8%. Which is great because you are able to roll your bankroll over mutiple times in the course of a year. However, you can easily increase that edge by about 1% for each bet by taking a little time to shop for the best line – over the course of a year that 1% of each bet start to amount to real money.

It does not have to be a very time consuming process. Find one or two odds comparison sites on the internet that cover your bookmaker/exchange portfolio (eg. www.betbrain.com or www.tip-ex.com). Using the odds comparison sites you’ll quickly have an overview of which of your outs offer the best line for the bet in question.

Choosing bookmakers and/or exchanges

It is highly recommended to have a variety of outs so it’s possible to shop for the best available line. The more outs you have the better. However if you don’t like to have your money spread out to too many places then choose at least five different companies that will cover you in all sports you like betting.

No matter what you do it is highly recommended that you sign up with Pinnaclesports. They have pretty much all straight bets available, for most leagues they have sufficient limits for the majority of sportsbettors, they charge very low commision on all markets and cover pretty much all sports.

If you bet soccer we recommend you to sign up at IBCbet and Mansion88 or at least one of them. They charge very low commision, cover most soccer leagues and their betting limits will please pretty much anyone.

If you like to bet golf we recommend you to have bookmakers like Centrebet, Expekt, The Greek, and Unibet in your portfolio. If you don’t bet golf maybe you don’t need these outs at all.

This advice on choosing bookmakes and exchanges is limited to bookmakers well known and relevant to Punters Paradise. For an indebth article on what to look for when selecting bookmakers go HERE.
Before you sign-up with any bookmaker or exchange you should make sure they are reliable. Look for information on forum or bookmaker review sites - the best site we have found for this purpose is Bookmakersreview.com. Still they only cover a small part of bookmakers and exchanges available.

Below you’ll find a list of bookmakers and exchanges rated in categories relevant to Punters Paradise Picks. Rating is based on bets available, betting limits, and commision charged.
