Choosing a Bookmaker for Online Betting

Betting is gaining in popularity, and with a good reason: computers and mobile gadgets have made their way into the lives of the world’s population, and most bookmakers have long since switched from land-based shops to online betting which is convenient, offers a wider range of markets and much greater odds than traditional bookmakers.

This article will tell you what to look out for when choosing an online sportsbook in order to use the potential for online betting in full.  Here not only knowing the criteria important for online betting will be of great help, but also a list of online bookmakers rated by users, since sometimes customers who have some experience with a particular bookmaker can tell you more than professional reviews.

The main criteria for a good experience of online betting with a bookmaker are:

· User-friendly interface

· Mobile app available

· Special features

· Variety of payment methods

· User reviews and ratings 

User-friendly Interface

Choosing a Bookmaker for Online Betting
Choosing a Bookmaker for Online Betting

Picking an online betting partner is largely determined by the convenience of its interface. A user-friendly interface allows customers to understand and navigate the website easily, find the information and sections they need, place bets, and track their progress and winnings. Such an interface makes it more likely that users will stay on the website and make bets. A poorly designed site, on the other hand, will be confusing and frustrating to use, driving users away.

Mobile App Available

Customers today have a lot of choices when it comes to where they want their betting experience. They can bet from home or on the go, with many preferring mobile devices – smartphones or tablets, so it is an advantage if the platform has developed a mobile app. It should have good functionality that is on par with the desktop or mobile website. It’s good if the app is adapted to both Android and iOS platforms and can be downloaded in the Google Play or in the App Store. The app should also have good security features to protect the user’s data and information. Overall, the mobile betting app should be a good experience for the user.

Special Features for Online Betting

There are plenty of reasons to be fond of online betting, but one of the best things about it is the amazing special features that can make your betting experience even more enjoyable. They can also help you to make a profit. Live betting is just one you can enjoy when you bet online. You can place bets on events that are happening right now, and it can add a whole new level of excitement to your experience. You can also usually find better odds for live bets than for regular bets, so it can be a great way to boost your winnings.

Cash Out is another great online special feature that allows you to take control of your bets. With Cash Out you can choose to settle your bet early if you think you are about to lose, or if the odds have changed in your favour. This means that you can minimise your losses and maximise your winnings, which is good for improving your overall betting strategy.

There are some other special features that you can enjoy when you bet online. These are just a few of the most popular ones. With so many great options available, you are sure to find the perfect betting experience for you.

Variety of Payment Methods

Another important parameter for online betting is the variety of payment methods that are accepted by a betting platform. Since you are to make a deposit or a withdrawal online, among the methods offered by a bookmaker should be at least one that is convenient for you. Usually, payment methods include bank cards, as well as e-wallets like PayPal and Skrill. Some sites may also accept bank transfers, although this method is usually reserved for larger deposits. For withdrawals, most sites will offer the same methods as they do for deposits, although some may only offer a limited selection.

When choosing a payment method, it is important to consider both the deposit and withdrawal limits that are in place. Some methods may have high limits, while others may have very low ones. It is also worth considering any fees that may be associated with using a particular method.

Generally speaking, the most popular payment methods for online betting are bank cards since they offer the convenience of being able to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and easily. E-wallets are also popular choices for online betting.

User Reviews and Ratings of Online Bookmakers

Both professional and user reviews are a great way to get an idea of what an online betting site is like before you sign up. But with user reviews sometimes you can learn more about a platform’s peculiarities that can define your online betting experience – its customer service, bonuses and promotions, banking options, and more. The same is true for the lists of online bookmakers rated by users, e.g. based on their experience and opinion.

The British are the best in the world at queuing

The British are the best in the world at queuing

It’s Official ! The British are the best in the world at queuing! Apart from that is, Rosena & Jamie Brookes-Ray from Playford nr, Ipswich, Suffolk who joined THE WRONG END OF THE QUEUE on their pilgrimage to London to say farewell to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

By Royal Correspondent Lorraine Fisher.

Britannia Rules the Universe!

Ever since their victory over everyone in the second world war, the British have always known themselves to be the best at everything! Whether it’s knitting clothes for garden gnomes, peeling onions, or leaving the EU, no one does it better than the brilliant Brits!

Above else, queuing, has long been recognised as our national sport – at which we are the undisputed champions of the world – probably the universe.

Dim Holly Willoughby

We Brits first started queuing back in 1250 A.D. when the first stocks were invented. The first example of queuing is mentioned in the Domesday Book which is a bit like the bible but about Britain rather than Jesus.

Apparently, a blind peasant named Dim Dick Willoughby from Ipswich, England’s oldest town, was walking to the stocks one day, on his way to be pelted with rotten tomatoes.

As he zig-zagged to the stocks, sightless Dim, who had been out collecting holly leaves for his dinner, was concentrating on counting the fingers on his hands and consequently wasn’t looking where he was going.

Then, disaster struck! Failing to see black village blacksmith Mr Everton Smith waiting patiently at the stocks in front of him, he inadvertently bumped into ‘smithy’, who turned around and remonstrated with him.

“J’accuse!” (meaning “I accuse you” in old English) said French Smith to English Diccck. That is where the word ‘queue’ comes from.

Tut, tut, tut, Schofield & Willoughby

Our world-leading queuing skills have never been better demonstrated than by the incredible human snake of bereft Brits hanging around to see our late Majesty lying in state.

It is estimated that around half a million grieving Brits have joined the back of the queue since it formed a few days ago.

This figure, of course, doesn’t include broom-cupboard custodian and public nuisance Philip Schofield and his televisual fag-hag, and descendant of Dim Dick, Holly Willoughby, whom everybody knows (despite their pathetic denials) pushed in at the front of the queen’s queue.

Being only half British and half Zealander, Schofield has an excuse, but Willoughby ought to know better.

Mental Fatigue and General Incoherence

Yesterday, Rosena & Jamie Brookes-Ray were walking along the Thames embankment heading towards Westminster when they spotted the now famous queue of millions of bedraggled mourners, exhaustedly stumbling, crawling, or wheeling themselves ever onwards.

Due to the queuers’ mental fatigue and general incoherence, Rosie & Jim spotted an opportunity to join the front of the queue without being noticed.

“We knew what we were doing was wrong, but we had come to London to take in the atmosphere and pay our respects so we thought… f*ck it let’s just push in, no-one will notice.” said a shameless Rosena. Husband Jim added “It was all Rosie’s idea. I didn’t want to do it. She made me.”

Deftly slipping into the slow-moving and unorderly mass of bodies, the two patriotic well-wishers believed they were soon to experience what thousands of others had deservedly experienced before them… without the 10-hour wait!

Inny or Outty?

However, proving that cheats never prosper (apart from Schofield and Willoughby) the two realized that rather than joining the HEAD of the queue into Westminster Hall, they had in fact joined the queue EXITING the hall.

“I suppose we got we deserved… nothing!” said a red-faced Rosena. “Two bloody miles we walked in the WRONG direction. I

told her you needed a coloured wristband that you could only get at the start of the queue – but she never listens.” moaned husband, Jim – something else that the British are best at.

Morrisons muted counter beeps while “Queen checks out”

Morrisons muted counter beeps while “Queen checks out”
Morrisons muted counter beeps while "Queen checks out"

Shhh! Listen….. (whispering) the Tower Road branch of Morrisons in Lowestoft, Suffolk (shhh!) has made the beeps at its checkouts quieter out of respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II.

OK, We Can Talk Normally Now

Her Royal Majesty, who famously only ever frequented two shops… Harrods of Knightsbridge – for tights, horse shampoo, and gold carriage polish, and Bejam – for frozen dog food, was keenly against the incessant beeping noise emitted by the infra-red scanners at supermarket checkouts.

A courtier, who’s job it was to escort the queen on her weekly grocery shop, told this reporter “She couldn’t bear the prospect of the checkout.

She said the beeping made her brain rattle. Sometimes she was so reluctant, she would cover her ears with her gloved hands and empty the shopping from her trolley with her elbows – it was the only way she could get through it.

“Giggling at the memory of the time the Queen and he were on a Bejam run, the courtier reminisced “One time she tried talking to me over the beeps, y’know, staggering her words to coincide with them as each item was scanned… ‘would… you… mind… being… a… ducky… and… going… back… to… get… one… another… bag… of… chum,… chum?’ ”

Somebody Shut Him Up

Now, in the wake of the queen’s timely passing, Morrisons has taken the bewildering step of turning down the volume of the checkout beep in all its stores across the UK as a mark of respect.

Although the news was welcomed by many of the shoppers we spoke to outside the Lowestoft branch, some weren’t so sure. Brian Goodridge, a keen amateur D.I.Y.-ist and electronics buff who had been in Morrisons shopping around (in vain) for handy electrical components now that Tandy and Maplin have disappeared from our high streets said “I think it’s a good idea but I’m not sure how they did it.

I myself am a keen amateur D.I.Y.-ist and electronics buff and I have many devices that emit an electronic beep. I have to say, it is not common for such devices to provide the functionality to turn down a beep.

Granted, some of the electronic LCD gaming products produced by successful manufacturers like the Japanese giant, Tomy, responsible for table-top classics Caveman and Astroblaster, and Tomytronic handhelds 3D Sky Attack and Thundering Turbos in the early 1980s, did have an on/off toggle switch for volume, but of course, this was an ‘all or nothing’ solution.

The inclusion of a potentiometer to control volume just wasn’t state of the art at that time, although, having said that, I do believe that there were some formative discussions amongst the technical staff at Tomy’s design subsidiary opened in the United Kingdom 1982 to introduce this functionality into its gaming range – moving forward.

” Brian went on… and on… and on… “but as far as a volume control on checkout scanner? Pfff. They use Magellan 9400i imagers in there to read 1D/2D barcodes and Digimarc Barcodes and I can tell you 100%, they do not have integrated volume control. If you ask me, I reckon they’re just muffling the speaker with some gaffer tape.”

Not Funny

We asked Morrisons to comment and a spokesman told this reporter “We haven’t turned down the beeps. It’s just one of those silly fake news stories being published in the name of satire. Why don’t those puerile journalists just grow up and get proper jobs? Nothing they write is funny.”

Anti Monarchy protestor holding “Not MyKing” sign upsets everyone

Anti Monarchy protestor surrounded by the Police

The momentous, heart-stirring procession of tens of thousands of Queen fans determined to bid their late ma’am one last appreciative farewell was interrupted today by an Anti Monarchy.

Who is Anti Monarchy protestor?

Woke moron and exceedingly arrogant member of the University of Suffolk’s Students’ Union, Vera Gartside a.k.a Anti Monarchy protestor thought it would be clever to use our beloved queen’s penultimate resting place in Westminster Hall.

SW1P, to make a complete show of herself stating the bleedin’ obvious on a hastily produced flexible A3 placard made from materials probably stolen from the University’s photocopy room.

Gartside (Anti Monarchy protestor), a well known authoritarian loon, completely lacking in self-awareness, convinced herself that the rest of us needed to be told that the phrase ‘Not my King’ requires the insertion of a space between the words ‘my’ and ‘King’.

Well, frankly Miss Gartside, this reporter knew that, the readers of the Suffolk Gazette knew that and most three-year-old nursery students know that too!

The correct grammatical formation of the phrase ‘Not my King’ is of course, ‘Not my King’ – note the brace of spaces interspersed in the correct places.

On her Facebook page, Miss Gartside lists among her skills and interests: ‘Telling other people what to do’, ‘routinely drawing attention to oneself’, ‘over-compensating for feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness’, and ‘deliberately dressing in unwashed, scruffy clothes to accentuate her pseudo-radical, anti-materialistic credentials.’

Public message to the protestor:

On behalf of the literate Britons who mourn and miss terribly, our irreplaceable ‘Lilibet’, this publication wishes to send the following message to Miss Gartside…

‘NOT YOUC*NT – YOU C*NT’

Queen’s Used Teabag Makes £10,000 on eBay

Amidst the sadness of the nation’s mourning for our departed QE2, the cost of living crisis reared its ugly head again yesterday when it was reported that the cost of a single, used teabag hit a record price of $12,000 (£10,400).

Bitter taste Used Teabag

Tea, a bitter-tasting, watered-down plant sometimes mixed with honey, milk, whiskey or sugar and favoured by the British over sex, used to be a freely available, low-cost staple item popular among rich, poor, young and old… and builders.

Not anymore. Along with other basic survival items such as: toilet paper, water, dried pasta and diamonds, tea has now become the preserve of the wealthy elite who quaff it down by the bucket load.

All the China in Tea

The late Queen Elizabeth II (peace be upon her) was well known for not only drinking six or seven cuppa’s a day but also for owning India – where tea comes from. She would often be heard in the corridors of Windsor castle yelling “Pop the kettle on, Phil. I fancy a brew. Oh, and stick a couple of Garibaldi’s on the saucer will you?”

Tea, which is technically infused into water – not brewed – is not to everyone’s taste, however. The Americans in particular can’t stand the stuff, preferring a ‘cup of Joe’ with a donut, Twinkie, or ‘pastrami on rye’ sandwich.

Loose tea was banned in the U.S.A. completely in the 1970’s – apart from in Boston where, in the summer, radical teddy bears gather for tea-based picnics and parties.

Hot Drink Pun

Parvis Sanjeet, a commodities analyst from ‘Cityfax UK’ told us “The market for staple refreshments is severely overheated at the moment.

Retail prices for tea, milkshakes, Lilt and Babycham are all showing increases of up to 1234%. My advice? Drink your own piss.”

Allegedly… A teabag used by H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth is currently selling on eBay for nearly £11,000. Please contact celebrity royal butler, Paul Burrells if you wish to ‘Buy it Now’

Elon Musk reportedly soiled himself when he was first told of the new Suffolk-built ‘Eco-Buggy’ taking (Tesla competitor) the world by storm.

Musk, a.k.a. ‘Major Tom’, known mainly for making shockingly-bad, multi-billion dollar-losing business decisions here on Earth, allegedly crapped himself as he feared his own little-known fleet of battery-powered toy motor vehicles: Teslas 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,A,B,C,D,E & F might never break out of its current Scalextric formula if the new market challenger from Suffolk cleans up in his own back yard.

Pile of crap

The headline-making ‘Eco-Buggy’ was designed and manufactured by Roger ‘Roger’ Wilko, (brother of the bloke who runs the famous wild-west style general store of the same name) in Tuddenham, West Suffolk. Wilko, an engineer and former RAF pilot claims all his vehicles will be manufactured entirely from a pile of old wartime aeroplane parts, wood, and scrap metal he found in a disused hangar up near the old RAF base, decommissioned in 1963

This reporter caught up with him in his garden shed and asked him what on earth he was playing at? “(talking into a tin can) Rattlesden Control, G-ABCD, I wish to file an airborne flight plan, over. SORRY OLD BOY! Well it was bloody clampers out there and I said to Popsie, lumpy jumpers y’know! HOLD ON! (into tin can) BIGJET 347, delay not determined, runway obstructed.

Get back, over. Ha ha ha ha. He flies a bloody mahogany Spitfire y’know! SORRY! Where was I? Ah yes… well anyway, I ask you. I wanted to put a beer lever in, see? But H.E. wouldn’t hear of it so I stuck with what I had. Then the old lag went in.

Filled her up with gallons of rigger blood but it was bloody clampers so… HANG ON! (tin can) Mendlesham Ground, BIGJET 347, stand 24 information Bravo, QNH 1022 request start up. What’s wrong with this bloody desert lily? Still smells of piss! Whizzo!”

Pre-historic tech and Tesla competitor

In contrast to the highly developed fleet of Tesla electric cars which utilize induction motors, inverters, transmission, differentials, state-of-the-art battery packs, and a revolutionary regenerative braking system, the ‘Wilko Eco-Buggy’ comprises a chassis made of old rotting plyboard, hard MDF seats, a convertible roof made from a ripped, mildew-ridden curtain and front and rear combination axle-wheels roughly hewn from stone. However, like the Tesla design, the W.E.B. is truly ground-breaking in the sense that it literally breaks the ground as it travels along the road.

Menu of mass destruction rocks Risby

Cocaine al-horno? Uranium stroganoff? How about lead risotto? These were just some of the delicious new offerings made available at Sal’s Diner, South Street, Risby, last week after the head Chef suffered a mental relapse due to overwork.

Customers at the popular eatery at Risby near Bury St. Edmunds were stunned to find that the new menu, which came with a radioactive hazard warning, featured some innovative new dishes allegedly inspired by head chef, Paul Pryke’s recent obsession with nuclear facilities, nuclear war and nuclear Armageddon.

Periodic table of elements for two in Risby

Regular diner, Carol Bishop remarked “Maureen and I often come in to Sal’s for a baked potato on a Thursday to catch up.

When I saw the new menu in Risby I thought I’d try something different for a change so I went for the Uranium Stroganoff. It was only when the waitress brought the food over in a Hazmat suit that I wished I’d gawn with my first choice. Better the devil you know!”

Other diners were treated to dishes such as: grilled pork tenderloin in a plutonium cream sauce, magnesium sulphate and shrimp bisque, fission chips, potassium alkali gratin, and spaghetti manganese.

Where is the toilet?

Owner Sal Karagiannis said, “Yes. It’s true. Paul has been working very hard recently. The customers here can be very demanding, you know, always asking for spoons or where is the toilet? He is a good boy. I even told him to take some time off a few weeks ago. ‘Take a holiday’ I said, which to be fair, he did. When he got back from Chernobyl two weeks ago, that’s when all this business started. I was as surprised as anyone when I came to open up last week and there was ‘hazardous materials – do not pass’ tape all over the front door. I can tell you.”

Out of the frying pan…

After being spoken to by police and local environmental and mental health officials, Mr Pryke has agreed to take a long sabbatical by the coast. He is said to be recovering well in the small fishing village of Sizewell in Suffolk.
