Online betting - Any recommendations?

[Ramrod]

Does anybody here dabble with a little online betting?

I have a whole stack of cash that I want to gradually fritter away in the name of my interest in sport. (most sports, but not horses - never really held interest for me)

It seems most providers offer some introductory offers, but who would you recommend?

the addicted Gambler I used to work with always said Paddy Power had the best website.

The insider who worked for a bookies agreed.

Matched betting is the thing matey. Look into it - risk free way to make money.

A few years when I was on the bench for a bit I made about £1500 in 6 months doing this.

Years ago I did casino offers too but its not so good these days. e.g. deposit £50, get £50 matched, play it through 5x maybe lose 10% if you play blackjack correctly - cash out £40 up. Sometimes you'd get quidco cashback as well - £50 maybe so its a no brainer.

MAde probably £3-£4K doing this.

Crap these days - the casinos have sussed on. Wager requirements are 50x or similar so you've got no chance of ever winning mostly.

Or Betfair if you want to try your hand at being the bookie as well as losing to him.

Paddy power have a simple and easy to use app, and also offer good odds.

Most of the gaming industry are playing catch up with Paddy Power technology wise. I would recommend them and Betfair.

Try them all. Sign up through TopCashBack and get £10-30 free for each site, plus their introductory offers. I've made like £150 this way, and the money from TCB comes directly to you. Typically you have to deposit and bet a minimum amount to get your TCB money, but you get an introductory free matched bet... so bet on both participants in some event (that can't have a draw) and withdraw your winnings and wait for the TCB money.

Then put it all into whichever site you liked best
