Where to bet

Most sites give you an intial match bonus, if they don't don't bother with them. Here is a list of links as to what I think are some of the better sites

William Hill - http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb ... tball.html.

+ Best odds on the web as far as Im aware
+ Widest range of betting markets
- You have to deposit at least a tenner though

Paddy Power - http://www.paddypower.com/bet

+ Can deposit smaller amounts.
- Odds a considerably worse
- Website is a mess (mobile site is better)

Bet365 - http://www.bet365.com/home/FlashGen4/WebConsoleApp.asp?

+ Again, small deposits of £5 are allowed
+ Odds seem very similar to WH
+ Lots of in game streaming
- Web site is a mess

Coral - http://coral.co.uk/

+ small deposits
+ Decent website
+ Seem to be generous with free stuff (bonus bets etc)
- Not as many betting markets

Ladbrokes - http://www.ladbrokes.com/home/en

+ Small deposits
- Again, not as many markets available

A little guide for beginners

At the request of Joer. A few tips for getting started

Dont chase the big bets..ie don't get dazzled by big odds, we've all done it
Odds: 5/1 - Means you put £1 on you get £5 back. 1/5 means you put £5 on and get £1 back, generally found when a team is massive favourites
Draw no Bet - Back the team you think will win, if they draw however the bet is void and drops off any accumulator or other type of bet you have
Handicap - Different ways to approach a game where a team is massive favourites on the complete opposite. Say you back Madrid to win but you put them down on -1 handicap this means whatever the score is at the final whistle -1 goal off and Madrid still need to win. (er 4-1 becomes 3-1). The same rules apply to a + handicap, basically giving teams a goal headstart, so if a game finishes 0-0 it actually becomes 1-0 therefore you win.
Over/Under goals - Basically betting on the amount of goals, so instead of picking a winner, you guess how many goal there will be, the more goals the larger the odds, very good for games that have teams that usually score (or let them in) for fun..obviously

Newcastle to beat Brighton outright

Pretty good idea this. I used to do this with my brothers but the blame game at times nearly turned to violence so we had to stop

Anyway my betting tip/suggestion is to go for Ronaldo and/or Benzema to score at anytime against Real Zaragoza tomorrow.

I will put them in the openeing post guys

I'll find out the odds too and put them next to it. We need to have this done by the time I go to sleep tonight as Im at work all day tomorrow
