Hi Ted,
You have a really great site. I am new to this whole betting thing and know very little. I was listening to my local sports radio station KLAC and I hear these betting agencies wanting people to use their services. I am interested in trying, but I researched one of the names Gary Sanders and read all types of negative things about that group in many post on the site. With this being said, how does a person start? Where do I place the bets how do you pick a company? I want to start with $500 and have fun. I am willing to only bet one game a week, a few or even none. I don't have a need to be betting all the time. One other thing that might help me is I don't have any favorite teams. I just like certain players and one of them retired. Any advice you could give to get me in the right direction would be great. I read your off Mon and Tues so I will wait for your reply. Thanks again.
First of all, let me welcome you to the RX and thank you for deciding to register and become a member. As to your questions, let's go through them one at a time.
What you heard on the radio is an advertisement for a sports service, commonly referred to as a "tout". The sports service industry is filled with scammers that lie about their record and all they want is your money. By and large they are not professional gamblers and have no more information then true honest handicappers. Sometimes, they give out both sides of games so that some customers get the win while others get the loss. That way they make half their customers happy and collect from all customers. There are a few honest services in the industry but please stay very, very far away from these services as you will only lose your money. Quite frankly, you can find much better and honest handicappers right here at the RX in the various Sports Forums.
Now, as how to get started on where to bet. There are many, many Offshore Sportsbooks available that you can send your $500 by various means and then be set to wager. At the top of this page, you will see a list of our featured sponsors. We back all our sponsors and if you ever were to have a problem, it is our job to help you as we have direct communication with the top management of each sportsbook. That is one of the perks of being a registered member of the RX. When asked, I always recommend our highest rated books with an A+ rating. They are safe, secure and you will be paid if you are successful and request a withdrawl. Since you are just beginning, I highly recommend registering at 5Dimes. Most of our members have accounts with them and are very satisfied. There is rarely a problem with them and they have many methods to deposit and withdraw funds. They also have a large betting menu to choose the type of play you would like to wager. In order to sign up at 5Dimes, simply click on the red link in this writing or the link at the top of the page and you will be taken directly to the site. Look on the home page for "Join" or "Sign Up" and register by filling out the fields they provide. No money is required to sign up. If or when you decide to make a deposit, simply call their toll free number and discuss with their customer service representatives the various methods they offer for the amount you plan to send. They may offer you a bonus as a new customer or you could choose "reduced juice" instead. "Reduced juice" means instead of having to pay $110 to win $100 on a wager for example, you would only have to wager $105 to win $100. You don't need to wager that high. You can bet $5 if you want. This adds up over time in savings. If you choose a bonus, you will have to wager your initial deposit (including the deposit fees charged depending of the method used which will be added to your account thereby costing you nothing) plus the bonus a certain number of times before you can make a withdrawl. IMHO, it's better to take the reduced juice rather then the bonus but it's your choice.
This should get you started, but feel free to ask additional questions if this is not clear enough or you would like to discuss anything. Once again, welcome and best of luck.
