Hi. I use online betting and really enjoy it. I just fancied a poll to see who else uses online betting, and site of preference. The sites above are mainly UK/Europe sites but would welcome others to post who they use and what for.
e.g. Poker, Football, etc.
I use Bet365 and it's great. The In-Running feature on live games is fantastic (and I usually make a quid or two from these).
I used to, only small amounts though, unfortunately I kept losing all the time so I gave up on it eventually

I only tend to bet small amounts, but have been known to slap a fat bet on when in the dying minutes of a game. This is where you make your money. I have had a few 10 game accumulators come in as well. That paid for my holiday!
I've never tried betting during a game, doesn't that make it very easy to win (=extremly small profit)?

No. When betting on football, there are loads of options. For example, how many corners will be taken, yellow/red cards shows, goals scored, etc.
If you make a bet of £1 - £3 you may win back £7 - £9 plus your stake. Do this for a few matches and it adds up to a tidy profit. You don't need to bet loads, and the winnings help you make more bets (so it doesn't cost you anything to keep on betting).
If you have a 5/6/7/8/9/10 game accumulator, and it comes in, you could win £1500 upwards from a £1 bet.
Bet small at first, and when you find a good system, start increasing your bets. Some you will loose, some you will win. But the winnings should be enough to cover what you loose.
The most important rule of betting is "Don't bet what you can't afford to loose".
Never tried it, never will.

Indeed. Work for your money, do not gamble.

People have a choice. Just because you do not gamble, that doesn't mean others should not. I have a very good job and earn enough money to be able to spend a fair slice as I please once the mortgage, car, bills, etc are paid. Whats the point in working for a living if you cannot enjoy yourself.

umm no way no how
why do people think it's "fun" to waste their money on casino games?

if you have enough money to waste it like that, why not put it in a charity or something; much more helpful than giving it to the casinos - you're NOT going to win in the long run.
