Sports books Strategies
Are there any advantages to betting by phone over online, or vice versa? Betting online. It is much, much faster. Some phone shops limit their hours and send clerks home after the last game goes off, whereas almost all outs allow 24 hours a day of internet gambling, and leave lines up overnight for that purpose. Your sports gambling history is easier to capture and save. It is mostly "point and click" and you're done. Parlay and teaser bettors also don't have to have a clerk read out all those teams--just click down or across the page. Line shopping is also dramatically easier online, as you can simultaneously have multiple lines displayed at once, or use the various line services like Don Best and Tip-Ex. Deposits and withdrawals are easier and faster online, particularly using e-commerce methods like Securebuxx, Neteller and Paypal. Sites like Major Wager and many other handi-capable (or is that handicapping-enabling) sites are very valuable handicapping tools nowadays. One of my favorite advantages of internet sports betting, is that some outs give online bettors perks that phone bettors don't get, be like reduced juice. The reduced cost of online sports gambling, compared to phones, for the book allows them more leeway as it saves them overhead money. Thus they can allow low stakes bets, some as low as $1 or 25 cents, and give specials on odds and juice to pass along the savings, so to speak.
