Range of Bets: This is very basic, for example in the Premiership, only the season points total is available -and nothing for the rest of the league.
Events offered include: Cricket, football, golf, horse racing, olympics, tennis and political markets.
What Else Is There? They offer financial spreads on such markets as commodities, currencies, bonds, equities, indices and many popular shares. Another interesting market is short & long term UK & London house prices.
Website: Can seem confusing and appear very fast-moving to the beginner. You need to have experience of exchange betting before tackling this baby! The tutorial section is useful for novices and well worth a visit.
Although the margins are tighter than other spread firms (ie you get nearer to the price you want & can ask for prices) -you pay 3-5% commission on net profits.
Telephone Dealing: Someone will take your call 24 hours a day.
Ways To Pay: Visa, MasterCard, Solo, Switch, Maestro, Visa Electron, Bank Wire, Cheque.
Currencies: GBP, EUR
Customer Service: By telephone or , when I have spoken to them in the past, they were most unhelpful -especially when I asked about incentives.
Incentives: Sports offer: Choice of two types of soccer bet
