Online Betting and Gaming

It was Melbourne Cup Day on the 6th of November. It is said to be the biggest horse racing event in the Australasian region.When there are big racing events on in this part of the world, my work colleagues’ set-up a sweepstakes for a bit of fun where we put down a few dollars. The horse I picked Mahler (GB) came in third which I wasn’t too disappointed about. That made me enough money to take the family out for dinner or something like that. Some of my colleagues went a bit further than the work sweeps and placed bets at a betting agency and most came out well off.

After I collected my winnings this morning my mind got going and I started thinking about online gambling. I have done a bit of research on it in the past and decided to do a bit more and see just how viable it could be as a way of making money online.

My conclusions are that it can be a way of making money online. But as it is gambling, you stand to lose some if you are not careful. It should be something that is done for fun and not as way of getting a regular income. You do have to try and be disciplined and have your own rules to follow. They may be something like the following (just to name a few):
-use your common sense
-learn how to manage your money
-set budget limit and profit target and sticking to it
-stop whilst you are ahead (don’t get greedy)
-do your homework – know the rules and what you are doing

Deposit and withdrawal of funds varies from site to site. You can use your credit card for most of them but you can also use services such as PayPal, Neteller, Click2Pay, Citadel, EcoCard, Moneybookers and PaySpark.

I took a look around to see what was offered in the form of online gambling and skill gaming platforms. As you can imagine there are so many out there to choose from. In and amongst them are a number of illegitimate sites where you will lose all your money. As with anything online, it pays to do a bit of research before you sign up to anything. eCORGA would be a good start. They have a lot of good information on online casinos and poker rooms.

I came across a few reputable gambling and gaming portals operating in various regions of the world. Here are some you might want to take a look at:

Betfair

Betfred Poker and Casino

Betfred Sportsbook

Betonbattles

Duplicate Poker

eurobet

Fun PokerRoom

Guess Cash

Kingolotto

Please do keep in mind that you should not get into gambling to make money. It should be something that you do for a bit of fun. So, go ahead and have FUN!!
