So you've discovered the joys of online betting. You love the fact that you are going to be able to sit at home in your underwear, yet still be able to bet on that basketball game. It's great that you want to bet online, but do you know who to look to for help? You are going to want to find a sportsbook, (online bookmaker), where you can place your bets. Here are just a few things you need to look out for when you find your online sportsbook:

1. Reputation. Obviously, you want to make sure you check out any site thoroughly before signing up with them.

2. Financial condition. You want to check out their financial background. You want them to be able to pay you if you win, right?

3. Ease of use. You don't want to have to be a rocket scientist to maneuver through the site.

4. Expense. There's going to be expense involved, at least 99% of the time, but it doesn't have to be a large one.

5. Variety of events. Just as you may not always want to bet on football, or always bet on golf (yes, people do bet on golf), you don't want an online sportsbook where you can only bet on certain events.

6. Variety of location. Same theory as above, you don't want to only bet on events taking place at one arena or even in one country. With online betting, you have the world at your fingertips. Make sure that you can take advantage of that fact with your sportsbook.

7. Rule Knowledge. When you go with an online sportsbook, you still have to obey the betting rules set forth by the arena, track, etc. For instance, you don't have to be at the horse track to bet, but you still have to abide by the rules of that horse track.พีจี

8. Availability. You want your sportsbook to be available by email and phone, preferably 24 hours a day.

9. Free stuff. Yes, this is important to many. Does your sportsbook match a percentage of your opening account balance, or offer a sign up bonus?

10. Comprehensive site. This can cover many things, but basically, you want a sportsbook that does more than take your bet. You want one that offers up to the second information on players, events, odds and even results of all events you may bet on.
