A large number of punters in the UK in particular seem to forget about betting online on the American Sports Betting markets. You can sill sign up and get your free bet from a UK bookmaker to punt on some of the American Sports that are very popular over here.

 Many people seem to be under the misapprehension that, due to the unfortunate events that took place in the online gambling world in the states last year, you can still bet on American sports through a UK bookmaker. What has actually happened is that American punters can infortunately no longer bet gamble online but this doesn’t stop us from betting over here on events over there.

American Football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey have become very popular, especially American Football after its’ successful coverage began in the early eighties. If you haven’t tried a punt on any of these sports, why not give it a go? If you’re in to rugby, I’d be surprised if you don’t become a fan of American football pretty quickly. Cricket fans could enjoy baseball and basketball and ice hockey go without saying as to the thrills that these fast moving sports can bring.

We have completed the re-design of our website last week which was aimed at a return to a basic layout which everyone could understand how to get around and to facilitate the addition of Spread Betting, poker, casino, games and bingo! These are all following the theme of where punters online can make the most of free money offers and we are now able to give a more concise yet broader range of what is available with our new look.

The site also demonstrates our approach to uncomplicating a website for our customers to be able to get around quickly. When you’re looking for a free bet for example, you may have already made your mind up as to what you wish to flutter on. What you need next is a website that will tell you quickly and clearly what is out there in the form of free bets. We lay out the offers in clear fashion to suit your budget and even have our free bets site map which breaks it all down into one page.

 We always listen to feedback on our site and will continue to develop it to the highest standards.

At Free Betting Online, we continue to expand our choices of online betting alternatives for punters and this week sees the addition of Sporting Index to our online portfolio and the arrival of Spread Betting through our website.

If you’ve never tried Spread Betting then it’s definitely worth a look. I always explain to people that it’s similar to the way the commodity market goes, which means of course – you’ve got to know what you’re doing and what risks are involved.

Why the caution?
It needs to be understood that in Spread Betting, you can lose much more than you stake!

This is the big difference from Fixed odds betting. In fixed Odds betting, you stake an amount, say £50 and if the result doesn’t go your way then you lose the £50, no more, but you knew this when you planned your strategy.

The Upside :
Your winnings can be substantially leveraged by the power of spread betting as compared to fixed odds betting.

The Downside :
In Spread Betting, you bet outside the “Spread” and if the result goes against you, then depending on by how much it does this by, you could lose as much money relative to how far out your judgement was.

Take a look at our Spread Betting article for background and guidance.

Today, Free betting Online launched the new look to its’ website to emphasise it’s free bets bookmaker offers and raise the profile of the Free Betting Online brand.

The site has been successfully gathering it’s customers since it began in 2005 and continues to grow its’ customer base and, more importantly, expand the number of online betting bookmakers that have their betting deals listed throughout the site.

The new site structure shows a return to a simple, uncluttered approach to its’ internet marketing strategy. A straight forward layout with uncomplicated colours gives a sleek looking, leaner coded website to offer customers fast page loading and easy navigation. This is also achieved with adherance to strict guidelines for search engines to find the site both through its’ home page and sub-category pages where more in depth articles on sport and events betting can be found.

 If you’re new to having a flutter online, then informative guides are available to get you started, one of the most popular being the “Free Bets – How they work” and “What is Free Money” pages.

 Free Betting Online continues to strive towards being one of the most forward looking online betting websites on the internet and to that end has implemented a programme of progressive development in it’s website engineering programme.

The ultimate aim is to bring customers a comfortable and enjoyable internet betting experience.

The term “Free Betting” is used in the online betting world to highlight free money offers from the bookmakers. Many people know about this as the free bet that a bookie gives away to encourage new customers to their client base. We are often asked why it is termed “free” when you have to effectively buy a bet by depositing some money yourself.

As with many things nowadays, a supplier of goods or commodities will nearly always sacrifice some sort of money value t0 get you as a customer. The supermarkets are typical of this, although they do it in a different way, i.e. loyalty cards is a good example where customers are given points to redeem for goods at a later date. BOGOFF deals (Buy One Get One Free) again give you something for free to get you you to buy at least something! This is usually at a quieter time of year.

The Bookmakers are trying to operate in a similar vein and the only saleable commodity that they have is a bet. It has to be accepted and understood that they need a commitment from you that you are going to stay with them for your online betting when they give away bets to a money value because, make no mistake, a free bet is free money.

Betterbet were a new addition to our free bets suppliers last autumn and have rapidly grown as a serious – and sizable – online betting bookmaker for Free Betting Online. Their £25 free money offer to new customers has attracted growth through our site, together with a simplistic approach to punters visiting their website.

The Betterbet website is probably one of the most straight forward in it’s market place. You’ll notice a clean look and uncluttered layout with easy to find links for the sport of your preference. This is important, as some sites can lose you with too much information that’s “in your face” rather than letting you browse easily and without distraction. As you would expect, betting odds are also quickly accessible.

Betterbet are currently doing a football betting odds offer with an each way 1/3 1-2-3 & 4 on ALL first goalscorer markets. They are usually giving something in the way of a unique offer and this is an example in the ever more competitive area of betting online.

Watch Betterbet through Free Betting Online in the future as we see them as a bookie who will continue to grow and become more of a household name in the coming years.

One of the big favourites in online betting is Victor Chandler who continue to offer their £50 free bet as a free money bonus when you register with them. £50 free bet is a nice value as it’s not at the lower end, i.e. the serious betting fan will consider this a worthwhile reward when they sign up but also, for the newer punter, it’s not such a scary amount that will put them off placing their sports bets forever.

With a big name behind you like Victor Candler, you’ll enjoy the range of betting options they have on their website. Broken down very quickly into its component sports parts, you get a very quick “At-a-glance” overview of what the current betting is like and you can select the sport of your choice. They’ve always been a top site for horse racing. With In-running Diary you can see what can be bet on whilst the event is going on.

Before an event begins, it’s worth checking back to see what offers are available from VCBet as they will usually have something really enticing, as they are currently doing in the Cricket World cup (please see the banner above for Victor Chandler).

So take advantage of the £50 free bets offer from VCBet and register with them today.

We have recently added Ladbrokes betting to our list of online betting affiliates. Ladbrokes are a big name bookmaker in the

UK and offer free bets to the value of £100 and we’re thrilled to announce them coming on board with us. We continue to add other bookmakers at Free Betting Online to offer online sports betting fans a range of free bet values that they can choose from to suit their deposit budget.  Ladbrokes betting website is a neatly designed site with all current sporting events being displayed concisely on the front page so that you can quickly get to the sport of your choice. You can then register with them to make the deposit that you wish up to the maximum of £100. This ease of navigation on their sites makes it a punters favourite and we’re sure that will make a difference to it’s popularity. As well as the usual sports betting favourites, more specialised areas of betting are available such as financials betting and at time of writing, the budget can be bet on. Together with these, the usual favourites can be found from the home page – poke, casino, bingo and lottos – to offer a complete online experience for the punter and online games fan.

After a great weekend of sport, whoever used their free bets on welsh rugby might be feeling sore. Let’s hope that Cheltenham bets are just as entertaining. But this is what betting means – nothing is certain and your free bets and free money provides you with an opportunity to punt online and sit nervously and see what the outcome is.

As the Cheltenham Festival gets underway today, Fraid nerves, butterflies in the stomach and even a few rows between friends create both casual betting and more serious wagering for the professional. Who would swap that feeling as your horse’s fate ebbs and flows in a race and nothing is decided until the final furlong.

Then of course there was a certain FA cup qualifier from Saturday that went to the wire and what a result! When you go 3-1 up at half time, even against the likes of Chelsea, you have to fancy your best chances of taking the game. But back they came, like a true champion team, to level it. Most bets were on Chelsea before the game, Spurs at half time, maybe Chelsea again 5 minutes from full time but now we’re left with the prospect of another thriller to settle it.

 Can’t wait!

When a punter joins an online bookmaker, they will sometimes relax their betting strategy having got the free bet reward. This means they bet on something they wouldn’t normally or they don’t give much thought to the plan of their new punt. This is a shame and it is very common. The point here is not to get to excited because you have the free money, you may think “well, it’s not really my money so I’ll just give it a whirl on something with good odds.

This doesn’t really work as it’s not part of an overall plan. Use the free bets given to you by your bookmaker to either spread on a few markets or add to your deposit to plan a bigger punt on an event that you may be familiar with. To make money in the betting field, you need a plan. This is how the big boys succeed and become professional. They familiarise themselves with markets and then gradually grow their budgets as they become more successful. They don’t blow it on one “Dead cert.”

So plan and bet in a measured and monitored fashion and get to know all the markets that you think you’ll be involved with in the future. Learn about the different types of bets in online betting and who knows ….
