"Sports betting portals" – The sports betting portal is no longer a mystery

I have been asked numerous times what sports betting portals are, as far as I am concerned it is just a fancy name for an online betting exchange or a way to bet online.

Many bookies have coined the phrase sports betting portal as it is a much catchier way of saying online betting site. It generally sounds more intriguing. They will usually tell the punter about their betting website when they are actually at the bookies, or have some computers connected to their website that allow the punter to place bets abroad somewhere like Australia or the US. much easier. If you take a look at a high street bookmaker website, you’ll likely find this phrase on their site, rather than a big betting exchange like Betfair or World Bet Exchange.

When it comes to choosing your “Sports Betting Portal”, it’s probably best to stick with the major online betting exchanges. Online betting exchanges don’t take as much of your money as high street bookies, and they also encourage arbitrage and trading to make it more profitable for the bettor in the long run.

The best betting exchanges are Betfair, Betdaq and World Betting Exchange, they all give you an initial bonus and have a forum where some of the best traders and professional bettors go to explain and discuss betting tips and systems. They are also always there to help the newbie.

I hope this has killed some confusion for you.
