Betvortal.com (Paikths.gr)

Hello friends,

This is time i am going to tell you my opinion about a sports directory called Betvortal or Paikths. Actually, Betvortal.com is the english version of Paikths.gr . On the english version of BetSiteReviewer (http://betsitereviewer.blogspot.com/) i am going to review the english version, while on the Greek version of BetSiteReviewer (http://betsitereviewer.pblogs.gr/) i am going to review the greek version of this sports directory.

The structure of Betvortal is simple (which is good) and the categories are well defined, from Betting Sites to weather and backgammon categories!

The thing that makes this sports directory different from others is that the owner of the directory reviews each of the site presented on his sports directory and gives them an appropriate score.

To conclude, on Betvortal you can find some quality links of betting sites and other betting related links. You should check it from time to time for new additions.

Betsense

Ok, today i am going to post my first review on a bookmaker. The Bookmaker is BETSENSE.

Description

Betsense is a UK based bookmaker which is synonymous to realibility. Is owned by Be-Emotions Ltd and their offices are placed in London-UK.

Variety Of Bets / Odds

They offer a fair variety of bets, european and US Sports. Their odds are average and their bets include singles, multibets and they also offer virtual matches. One feature which i haven't found in many bookies and you can find it here is the option to cancel a bet for a fee.

Deposit/Withdraw Option - Customer Services

Like any other UK based bookmaker, they offer a variety of deposit/withdraw options such as Credit Cards,Debit Card etc without charging any fees.

Seems a good bookie but the problems start when you want to withdraw money. There are many complains about slow payments and lack of customer service. When you finally manage to get in touch with them, they make some silly excuses for not sending the money.

I haven't betted on Betsense for quite a while due to the fact that it took me more than 40 days to withdraw 2.500 GBPs. I would skip that Bookmaker.

Protrade Live

This time i am going to tell you my opinion about a website which can be of great help for those who bet or trade on Major League Baseball.

The ProTrade Live is very easy to use and its information can be proved very valuable. The site was created by Mike Kerns and Jeff Ma both know for their investing activities.

As i mentioned earlier the ProTrade Live is easy to use and can help you find out each team's winning probability according to the course of the ballgame. For example you can find out what's the effect of a two-out double on the game and manage your bet/trading accordingly.

The algorithm used is based on how two teams behave depending on the score, league/stadium, home advantage, batting order, number of hits, momentum etc.

The results are very good and can help a lot on your decision whether to sell you bet or not or to decide which team is going to win (and adjust your stake accordingly).

I believe you should give it a try. Moreover you can try their main site (ProTrade) where you can buy and sell players like stocks!!!!!

WARNING: BetfairXPoker.com




Hello friends,

Today i am not going to make a review on a e-book but i am going to issue a warning on the site http://www.betfairxpoker.com/ .


I haven't tested their e-book but all i can say that i wouldn't trust them! The reason is simple, the screenshots are FAKE. Just check the above pictures. As you can see they say that they are an honest site and the games on picture I are examples of games that they have won money !!!!!!!
Ofcourse someone which has betted on Betfair even 3 or 4 times knows that the ">>" sign is used to show the "What If" option (what would happen if i have betted money on) and not an actual bet.
This picture was on their site until yesterday and it was magically removed and replaced by picture II. The reason was that their fraud was discovered on a "make money" forum.
I suggest that you stay away from this site. My opinion is based on their dishonest site and not on their e-book (which i haven't read). But would you buy an e-book from a dishonest site ????

Socabet

The Socabet e-book deals with soccer trading and was written by Steven Lee Jones.
Socabet is a soccer trading system. According to his author, it promise you a guaranteed second income for 10 minutes work ! Let's find out if is telling the truth..........
The Socabet is a 50 pages e-book which includes a quite big introduction-how to use betfair (about 25 pages!!!!) and 6 trading methods.
The introduction and the how to use Betfair guide are pretty well written and will help someone who hasn't dealt with Betfair before. The trading methods are a different matter alltogether.
The are simple in-play strategies in the sense that, for example, you should back the favourite and if it scores sell it to make a profit. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Socabet manual is an e-book for those who haven't logged into Betfair before and the trading methods don't add anything new.
If search on the internet, you can find similar guides for free.

The Layers Edge

This time we are going to deal with an e-book which will interest layers of british horse racing. This e-book comes for free and is written by Tony.
It's a small e-book (15 pages) and as the author explains on his introduction, he has created a system which aims on long term profits based on historical data.
Mr. Tony tries to identify which 2nd favourite is going to lose through some rules which try filter out the winners. The e-book also comes with a staking plan which you can use in accordance with the system.
The system has its ups and downs but its quite easy to use. One thing i liked is that tries to lay horses with relative small odds (less than 9/2) in comparison to other system which lay horses above 9/1.
Am i going to make money out of it ?
Probably yes. I've made a small return on long term but had some long winning and losing streaks.
Overall, it's not a bad e-book and it's free. So give it a try even on paper laying.
