What would you do with a 5 free bet every week? That’s what Sky Bet is offering to their active users! If you’re a sports lover, why not take your passion to the next level by placing an occasional bet on your favourite team.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to get involved with sports betting, either. There are lots of free bets and bonuses available at online sports-books, but perhaps the most generous is the offer that Sky Bet is running.

As a new user, you will qualify for a complimentary Sky Bet free bet worth 10. Simply open an account and get a 10 free bet, instantly. There’s no need to make a deposit. As long as you are a new user, joining during the eligible offer period, you will qualify for this bonus.

In addition, you will get a Sky Bet free bet worth 5 each week as long as you placed a 5 bet with your own money during the previous week. This offer is a great way to get started in the exciting world of online sports betting.

 

A Huge Selection of Sports to Choose From

No matter what sport you are a fan of, there is a good chance that you will be able to bet on it at Sky Bet. The site covers traditional betting favourites such as football, horse racing and darts, but it is not limited to those sports. Other sports that you can bet on include speedway, NFL, golf, greyhound racing, MMA, Moto GP, snooker and tennis.

The site also takes special bets on subjects such as the possibility of a white Christmas, or the name that the royals, William and Kate, will give their first baby.

 

Lots of Betting Options

If you usually feel intimidated by sports betting websites, fear not. Sky Bet offers lots of betting options. You can bet on the outcome of the game, race, or event by placing an Outright bet, or if the sport allows it (such as horse racing), a Forecast/Tricast bet.

With some sports, such as football, you can bet on who will be the first to score, whether or not there will be scores in both halves, or what the finishing score for the game will be. You don’t have to worry about spread betting or other more complex bet formats if those do not interest you.

Sky Bet is a great place to get started with sports betting and could well become your betting home in the long term. If, at some point in the future you were to feel that you have outgrown the site (or you find a love for a sport that is not supported), you can look on bookmaker comparison sites such as Chips to see what other options are out there. However, for the average UK sports fan, this is, no pun intended, a safe bet.

Football Betting: A Popular Past-time and Social Connection

Football-Betting

Betting is a popular past time for many around the world. The odds, tips and thrill of getting paid big money drives even the most conservative of people to take a chance, and place a bet on something they love and desire whether it may be in sports, TV, a dare, on election night, etc.

A bet can be wagered on almost anything, yes, anything which is why it’s so popular among us; anyone can join in, no matter how old they are or how naive they may be. Sports betting is probably the most popular of all betting schemes. Odds and tips are updated on a daily basis to entice those interested in the world of betting to place a bet on the best and most favorable of odds.

No sport gives more thrill and excitement than football; the beautiful game, which brings people of all genders, races and cultures like no other. Betting on your favorite football team, a fixture that racks up the highest odds and potential winnings are all a part of the charm and excitement the sport brings to many around the world.

I remember one time through Twitter when some football fan – a Man United supporter to be precise –  was on the verge of winning big money through his various bets on several matches played that day. As the results were heading to his favor, through his constant tweeting and updates, many were engaged and joined in on this rare event; a potential big money gain worth over 60 grand.

Many fellow football fans from all over the world – even those who support rival clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City among others – cheered him on and eagerly awaited the results.

That fan achieved the unthinkable, creating shockwaves on Twitter with many stunned and astonished, but congratulating a fellow football fan on his rewards and highly commendable achievement. His tweets after his winnings were made official summed up the passion and elation such a pastime can bring to many, especially through sport.

Fantasy football leagues are also of huge popularity among many. They’re set up by regular blokes looking for some friendly, and as they hope, fruitful competition with fellow fans. There are created before the season begins with a limited “budget” creating more intrigue and challenge for its participant.

These leagues are especially popular here in the Middle East. Sports betting is frowned upon because it involves money, and that steps into religious boundaries as Islam – the region’s most popular religion – prohibits gambling and other similar activities that involve money.

Some, however, ignore such regulations but for the most part, they’re abided and followed increasing the popularity of fantasy leagues even further. These leagues are mostly free to use, but others – especially those independently created – charge people to join their league, a factor that can deter many and which I don’t recommend.

Football betting is popular and helps connect fans and supporters from all over the world. The introduction of social media has had a major impact on the industry, further increasing its popularity and intrigue. It’s a part of the game, and for some, a part of their life.

There’s nothing wrong with placing a little bet and wager, as long as it’s in good spirit and pure fun with a tad of healthy competition.
