Is There a Top Sports Betting Site?

Top sports betting sites all have similar features and, yet, all offer things that make them unique. 24/7 service, a wide range of wagering opportunities and easy to navigate pages are all part of what is simply expected these days. But what else should you look for in a sportsbook worth your deposit? Here’s a quick checklist that you can use to rate each site.

1. Variety Defines a Top Site:

Most of the better sportsbooks offer a wide range of gaming opportunities. That means that you can, at the very least, wager on many different kinds of sports and not just the big four—football, basketball, baseball and hockey. Most also include a separate area for horseracing and many provide casino gaming and poker. But if you’re a pure sports book enthusiast, those things are probably not that important to you. Still, if a site offers all of those things, it’s usually fairly well established. You definitely want a site that is solid and secure.

2. Legitimate Sportsbooks Won't Withhold Information:

If a site doesn’t give at least an adequate explanation of how the various bets and bonuses it offers work and how you can make your withdrawal once you're ready to, then there’s something wrong. The fact is that although there are industry standards for wagering, each site has specific rules regarding how certain bets function in terms of payouts, promotions, etc. Additionally, many top sports betting sites provide free information on wagering strategy. Minimally, a site should tell gamblers what a particular bet will pay, what one is wagering on when one places a bet, what will cause a bet to be cancelled and what happens if there’s a “push.” Bettors also need to know when and how they can access any winnings.

3. Moneylines and Point Spreads:

Not all sites offer moneylines and point spreads on the same game but the fact is it’s always great to have that option. Is an online sportsbook shady if it doesn’t offer dual betting chances? It can still be a great site and not give you those options but the fact is that it’s helpful to have those choices. Although some bettors are lured by various exotics that can payoff big, the fact is those tend to be sucker bets and shouldn't be on the top of any serious gamblers list of what goes into a great sportsbook.

In the end, you’ll want to join more than one site. By doing so, you’ll be able to access the best odds as they can vary from sports betting site to sports betting site. You can comparison-shop the best spreads and lines at sports intensity's live sportsbook lines tool, where odds from nine different trusted sportsbooks are shown side-by-side.
