What a Sports Investor Should Look for When Choosing a Sportsbook (Part I)

With Football Season starting shortly, many of you will be opening new accounts at some online Sportsbook. You'll be investing hard earned money and want to rest easy knowing that the money you invest is safe, and at your access night and day.

This is a very daunting task trying to find a Sportsbook which you can trust and feel good about. I use SportsBookReview.com as a reference point when looking into a Sportsbook.

In addition there are some guidelines I use to further evaluate a site. Below you will find the list to help you make your decision of choosing a Sportsbook to use for your investing of money.

Investment Security

You should always feel safe about your money so you need to make sure the Sportsbook clearly explains their policy on keeping your transactions secure. You need to also see that your transactions will not only be secure, but that they will be handled quickly and in total confidentiality. With the threat of Identity Theft as big as it is these days, this is a very important item.

Ways to make Deposits

No one wants to jump through hoops to make a small deposit just to be able to place a simple wager. Worse yet, would be to miss a PPB Play just because of the time that was wasted making a deposit. So the Sportsbook should have many different options of making deposits, whether it be through: a bank wire, credit card, using a service like Western Union or our fav... Neteller. I like to have options and so should you. I want to choose a method of deposit that suits me for that particular deposit, and not be forced to use one which could make me lose some investment opportunities.

Customer Service

A couple things on this point. I don't know about you, but there are times where I work best at night. The worst is when I have a problem at 3 in the morning, and I realize that I have no one I can talk to and have to wait till the morning banker's hours. Drives me CRAZY! You know what drives me more crazy, when I do get a live person and I can't understand a word they are saying. If you saw how much hair I have left on my head, you could imagine how many times I've yanked them from frustration.

So yes, a Sportsbook needs to have customer service representatives available night and day. There could be a PPB Play that shows up for a limited time at any time of the day, and if you are having problems getting that play set, you need to have someone to talk to. The Sportsbook should also have a large staff of proficient English speaking representatives.

Sportsbook Age

When looking at a Sportsbook, the amount of years can be a potentially huge deal. The experienced organization has already gone through all the growing pains financially and legally which the newcomer must go through.

In addition, the emerging Sportsbook must earn a reputation of performing solidly and treating their customers well. The Sportsbook which has been around a few years has had time to earn this reputation and there would be many opinions and evaluations of their performance that could be found all over the web to help you find this information.

There are a few more items in the guidelines, and in tomorrow's entry I will go through the rest of them. So be sure to keep an eye out tomorrow to have all the information you will need to make a decision about what Sportsbook to use for your investments and be able to sleep in peace at night afterwards.
