CentSports is a betting site that gives you a small amount of play-money to bet with and if you do well enough, you can cash it out for real money. How it works is that they do not allow you to bet with your own money and they give you 10 cents to start off with. What makes it legal is the fact that you are not betting with your own money.
When you sign up you are given $0.10 which you can use to bet on a number of major college and professional sporting events which include basketball, baseball, football, soccer, tennis, boxing and so on. You get to keep all you winnings which you can use to place more bets. If you lose all your money they will give you another 10 cents for you to bet with.
Once you have accumulated over $20 in winnings you can cash out a minimum of $10 and they will send a cheque out to you. Reaching the $20 mark might seem like a big feat given the 10 cent starting amount but, it really isn’t, if you bet good enough. If you make good bets and double your money eight times you will end up with a balance of about $25.50 and the sky is the limit from there. Once you are registered user you can view a list of CentSports all starts who have balances in the hundreds of dollars which just goes to show that you can make a good amount of money from the 10 cents you are given. As far as sending out cheques, they do state that they only support cashouts for people living in the US but this does not stop people in other parts of the world from taking part. You will just need to find a US address where they can send you your cheque.
Victor Palmer, the founder of CentSports makes his money from advertisers and as a result you do get the odd pop up here and there and once you have placed a bet you have get option of increasing the payout amount by up to 100% if you view an ad. He doesn’t hide this fact and has the following on the homepage:

Hey,
Great article there buddy. I am def. going to check out this website because I’m a die hard basketball fanatic and after reading… seem pretty interested in betting on a few games. Alot of moves in the East, so there isn’t that imbalance vs. the Powerful West anymore. Keep up the good work mate!
Sounds interesting, however betting is something that I have always tried to avoid until my brother took me to the casino.
Will definately check it out.
@ Michael,
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have fun and lots of luck with the site.
@Taka,
Betting isn’t the best thing to be doing especially if you get carried away with it. But, do check out the site and don’t get too carried away. Enjoy!
This is a very interesting post. I am just wondering whether the poor guy who runs this site ever makes any money? Ad supported betting…I feel the site owner is selling himself short. These are guys who are gambling for God’s sake. Surely they can be charged for the services this site is providing them!
Check out Sportstrio.com; this site has a better payout than most others.
Centsports is cool but I like this site called BetAgainstMe.com a whole that better…
You start off with 10,000 “fantasy” Betagainstme.com money each week….objective is to turn that into as much Betagainstme.com “fantasy” money as possible by betting on sports games….You do not have to know anything about sports since this money is FREE at BetagainstMe.com…..spend the Betagainstme.com money by clicking on the teams you think will win…..After every week your account gets credited back to 10,000 “fantasy” Betagainstme.com money to play with if you run out….
The person with the highest profits each day at Betagainstme.com gets the daily CASH prize of $50, the highest profits for the week gets the weekly CASH prize of $500 at Betagainstme.com, and the person with the highest grand prize total gets the CASH grand prize of $10,000 at Betagainstme.com. And this is all REAL CASH….That simple….you ask “how can Betagaintme.com afford that? There has to be a catch”- Absolutely not!!! Betagainstme.com gets paid by the advertising just like a facebook, myspace etc….
If you refer a friend at BetAgainstMe.com you get an extra 1,000 in free “fantasy” play money, which means if you bet your free “fantasy” play money and the bet doesn’t win it does not count against you, but if it wins your account gets that amount credited to your winnings….
This website is the best heres the link…..
Betagainsme.com is weak and centsports is cool. I also just joined the Beta of BettorFan.com. This site is slick and all my buddies just joined the beta too.
Bettorfan and centsports do not give away anything but some petty cash to buy what, a damn pack of gum? I also heard they put you on a waiting list to get paid. Betagainstme gives away a daily prize of $50 for most profitable, $800 in weekly prizes, and $10,000 in a grand prize and they are really professional in paying. I know several winners personally that say they received their money in 3 days. Centsports could take months. The concept and BetAgainstMe clowns both centsports and Bettorfan.
BetAgainstMe.com also has a referral program. If you refer a friend you receive an extra 1k in free play and 10% of cash prizes won by your referral.
