How to Choose An Online Sportsbook

 

How do you go about choosing a sportsbook? What things do you look for? What things are most important? There are a lot of sportsbooks out there today; some are good, others are poor. Let’s see if we can breakdown what is important, and what is not, when we choose a sportsbook.

The #1 consideration when choosing a sportsbook is security. The main thing is to get paid. You can have everything else in the world, but if you don’t get paid it means nothing. It is important to find out as much about a sportsbook as possible before sending your money to them. Many places have lists of good sportsbooks that are reliable. It could be an online sports betting forum, a sportsbook review, or just a magazine ad. Don’t rely upon just one site, look around and look at several sites that review sportsbooks. That should give you a good idea of which ones are solid.

Some people think it is important where the sportsbook is located, but that is really a secondary concern. Good sportsbooks are all over the world and whether the book is located in Costa Rica or one of the many islands, it really doesn’t matter.

Many people choose a sportsbook based solely on the bonuses offered. That is not a good way to choose a sportsbook. It is nice to receive a signup bonus and it is great to get continual free money, but there are more important things.

In addition to security we also want two other main things when choosing a sportsbook. We want fair lines and good customer service. All the bonuses in the world won’t help us if we don’t get decent lines and don’t have good service. We need a website that is easy to use and functional, and most importantly, always available.

Let me recap the things that are most important when choosing a sportsbook.

1. Reliability - Your money has to be safe. Getting paid is paramount.
2. Lines and Availability - Fair lines and the ability to always get down.
3. Customer Service - If a problem arises you need competent people to help you, and English speaking clerks.

Those three are the most critical when you choose a sportsbook. If you get those things, then everything else is gravy. And yes, that includes the bonuses. They are nice to have but should not be the deciding factor when you choose a sportsbook.
