13 November 2008 4,531 views No Comment

Welcome to a new feature on the site. During the next few weeks we will be reviewing various sports betting websites out there, and helping you choose which ones are best suited for you to make some money off. We will be using some real cash to place different types of bets on various betting websites. Then we’ll present you with our findings. Today, we review the behemoth of all sports betting sites, bwin

Sports betting has become a multi-billion dollar industry around the world, allowing some people to make huge amounts of money with their knowledge of sports.
We’ll be looking at a few of these betting sites, and reviewing, amongst others:

  • Range of sports
  • Registration and payment types
  • Range of bet types
  • Ease of use

What we won’t be looking at right now is the online casino arena, because that deserves just as much time as the sports betting industry. So we’ll go into those in a future article, after we’ve covered the various sports betting sites.


bwin


This is the largest online sports betting site in Europe with over 8000 bets placed daily, and it also includes poker, casino, and games sections. You have the option of betting on over 80 different types of sports, and you are able to bet on the most obscure sports as well as the more popular ones, like football and tennis.

This is bwin’s own description of their site:

bwin is big time sports, real action and more. We do not just talk about fun and excitement, we actually make it happen. What’s more: you create the excitement with us. No matter whether you’re a pro or beginner – everyone can join in.

“We provide Europe’s biggest betting line-up of sports bets and are the Number 1 online. How about some numbers? We offer up to 9,000 bets daily with betting action in more than 90 sports – that’s a record, too. Here’s another number: The entire line-up is available in 20 different languages. And we promise there are more to come.”


Range of sports


“The huge football betting line-up, which includes well over 500 leagues – from Premiership to Serie A, from World Cup to Copa do Brazil –, is only the tip of the iceberg. Every day bwin bookmakers provide attractive odds on all the most popular sports like tennis, formula 1, basketball, ice hockey, golf, rugby and boxing. Are you looking for something more exotic? Then back your favourites in Futsal, lacrosse or chess – there’s bets on more than 90 sports to choose from!”

“In addition to the numerous sports on offer, the wide range of specials is another trademark of bwin. Special bets on almost every event – whether it’s football, tennis or motoracing – ensure extra thrill and excitement. Some examples: Who will score the first goal in the match between Chelsea and Liverpool? How many games will Henman win against Federer at Wimbledon? And will Capirossi complete the Italian MotoGP?”

“Enjoy gripping entertainment online: thrilling sports bets with a unique L!VE feeling – get closer to the action than ever before. And then there’s the casino atmosphere at its finest; live poker and numerous games for that short break in-between. Join bwin to get away from your daily routine and enter a world full of emotions.”

I don’t think you need any more of a description than that!


Registration and payment types


The bwin site is very, very easy to use, even for someone using it for the first time. The first thing you obviously have to do, as with all betting sites, is register your details with them. Once you have done that, you choose your payment type from the following list:

  • VISA/VISA Electron
  • Mastercard
  • Diners Club
  • NETeller
  • Moneybookers
  • Bank transfer
  • FreeBet card
  • Western Union Quick Pay

As a reputable company, bwin’s online transactions are as secure as can be. Now all you have to do is make your first deposit of the amount of your choice, and you’re good to go. The minimum deposit amount is 10 US dollars (just convert it to whatever your currency is), except for users with a FreeBet card, for which the minimum deposit is 1 US dollar. Maximum deposts range from 1000 to 5000 US Dollars for the various payment types. For any transactions using the credit card types (VISA/VISA Electron, Mastercard, Diners Club), you will pay a 2% fee.

Simple as that - you are now ready to place a bet on whatever sport, poker, or casino game you wish!


Range of bet types


There is such a range of different bets available that it would probably take multiple pages to review them all. We’ve found that the best way to view all the different types of bets is to actually register on the site yourself and have a look through what is on offer. You can place bets on multiple games at the same time and minimize your risk of losses, while you can also increase the odds of your bets by combining system bets, which is a great feature if you are good at predicting multiple results.

Another great feature is the Live Betting section where you are able to bet on matches while they are in progress. There is such a range of betting available here too, especially for the football games, including first person to score, amount of injury time to be played, how and when the goals will be scored, and too many more to mention here. We’ve found that the Live Betting section is a great way to pick up reasonably high odds on certain bets.

Bwin usually have various special deals going on, and there is quite often an opportunity to pick up some sort of freebie, especially when you’re a new user.


Ease of use


We definitely recommend bwin because of how easy it is to use and especially because of the security and reliability of the company. A real pleasure to play on when you have some spare cash laying around!

The betting calculator on each page is a very handy tool and allows you to play around with certain permutations while deciding on your final bet to be placed. It just adds to the user-friendliness of the site. Use the one below to play around with and see how simple it is!
