Overview

Bet365 is one of the most well respected bookmakers in the business. They have been applying their sports wagering knowledge in the UK since 1974 and have offered an online sportsbook outlet since 1998. As one of the premier sportbooks services on the Internet, Bet365 know the need to offer an easy to use betting structure for their customers. Bet365 uses a flash-based system to outline all the latest sporting events occurring for the day along with quick links to make immediate bets. A simplified bet slip is located at the top right hand side of the web page identifying the selections made, the odds of each bet and the allocated stake amount.

Betting Options

Bet365 offers a huge selection of betting types for customers to enjoy. The selection includes:

•Straight bet: Found in sports such as football, basketball and hockey games where a point spread is involved. A bet is made on a particular team to win a specific match.

•Money line: Bet made on one team based on a set of odds provided by the bookmaker. Soccer matches also contain the ability to bet on a draw.

•Totals: A bet made on what the combined points total will be for a specific match. Bookmaker sets a specific points threshold and customers wager on the points total being over or under the threshold.

•Parlays: A selection of individual bets that are combined. Bet365 offers a whole range of parlays with different selection amounts. Users can choose from a double parlay all the way up to a fourteen-fold parlay as well as bet types that involve over 57 individual bets together.

•Teasers: Similar to a parlay. Involves more than one individual bet with the ability to adjust the point spread. Commonly found in football and basketball wagering.

•If bet: A combination of straight bets with each bet acting as a qualifier for the next. May involve up to 12 straight bets. The first individual bet must be correct in order for the second individual bet to qualify, and the action continues in a chain. The bet stops entirely if one of the individual bets loses.

•Forecast: Wagers on 1st and 2nd place for racing events such as horse and greyhound racing.
