Knowledge is Advantage

Each of these sportsbooks have their own flavors, even if its Coke, Pepsi and RC Cola. If you know what you like, or don’t know and want to see what is out there, here we have review guilds of all the current sportsbooks. Everything you need to know is in there including odds, sports markets, depositing and withdrawing methods. We even give you a step by step guide on how to sign up for the sites and provide you with a promotional or bonus code. How cool is that.

Our Reviews Are Different

We are not the same as the other reviewers out there. We come from New England, we are former athletes, casino employees and gambling analysts. We are here to give you our opinion about these sites, you choose what you want. There is no right or wrong sites just what you like.

1. We Do Not Get Paid for a Better Reviews

We do not allow a site to pay us or send us free donuts or anything in return for a better review or to say what is bad is good. What you see is how we feel about these sites. If the site wants a more favorable review, they can fix the things that we point out.

2. We Do Not Ignore the Negatives.

Many sites tend to focus on the positives of a site and not the areas they could see improvements. No site is perfect, and we’re definitely in the business of pointing that out and saying “ha, ha” and pointing like Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons.

The purpose of reading our reviews is to find the online sports betting site that is best for you. Sometimes a negative might be a huge deal for you or it doesn’t matter at all. The point is your individual unique needs and wants need to be considered when choosing.

3. We are Professionals

Our reviews are done by sports betting virtuosos. Members of our team have an extensive background in the adult gaming industry and sports betting world. What happens at many sites is they just produce a lot of junk content for you and do not try to explain the differences between the sites. We do this in an easy to read manor with tips and thing you need to keep in mind to make wise bets.

What happens when you don’t get the details and see the big picture? You make bad choices. The key to making good choices is to make informed decisions and stay current. I mean, do you want to bet on the Lakers when the king is down?

How to Stay Safe

Only bet on the site that have been approved by the State of New Jersey’s. Licensure is the cornerstone of their regulatory system. Licenses are required of casino owners and operators in order to ensure that those involved with adult gaming industry meet the statutory requirements of good character, honesty and integrity and to keep the New Jersey casino industry free from organized crime.

If you bet on a site approved by NJ you should be safe.

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS

All New Jersey website are not created the same. Some of them do not have NBA or others do not have PayPal. If you are an avid bowling bettor, you need to find a specific site.

ASK THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

The customer service team isn’t hired to sit and twiddle their thumbs on Twitter all day. Give them a call or write them. That will probably make their day if you are nice. They have most of the answers you want, though you might not always want to hear the answers they give you.

CHECK OUT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Paying attention to the deposit and withdrawal policies and the general terms of service gives you an advantage, do you think the sportsbook wants to write all that stuff out? thay have to. If there’s anything fishy, it will be written right in the terms and conditions.

Find Out About the Casinos

We like to point out all the seedy past of the owners of the old Atlantic City. The new management is quite different nowadays, but we can’t forget all the money laundering that was happening at these places in the near past.

Try Before You Buy

Don’t put the whole farm up on one site. Deposit a reasonable amount and play. You’ll soon find out if you like the site. Since knowledge is advantage and the best way to avoid a site you don’t like is to be informed and try it out.

Top 5 Thing to Look for in a Sportsbook

Look for screenshot

It may seem apparent to us but if you are a novice or pretty new to the sportsbetting world there are some things you want to consider before you just start depositing money and placing bets. Here are our top 5 thing to look for in a sportsbook.

1. Legal Sites Only

It might be obvious to us but if the site is not legal, do not play on it. why would you gamble on an illegal site when you have at least 16 choices in NJ to bet on legal, state controlled sites. Yes you need to be in Jersey to play. Welcome to the Garden State.

2. Sports Markets

Not every sportsbook has everysport you can think of, I know shocking. For example there are some legal issues if you own a sports team and a casino, since you could fix odds or influence a game. This is why Golden Nugget doesn’t have NBA basketball. If your a big european football fan, some of the sites based in europe may be a better choice for you since they have a lot of experience with “football.”

3. Bet Selection

If you want to bet regular moneyline or futures, just about any site will do you well but if you’re looking for in-game/in-play or props bets, each sportsbook have there strengths and weaknesses. We highlight those in our reviews in an easy to understand and clear manor.

4. Odds

Each sportsbook has a different way to figure odds. Three of the sports books at least use Kambi Sports for its software, pricing, trading, and risk management: 888sport, SugarHouse and DraftKings. There are many similarities between their odds and other sportsbooks, like playMGM and Borgata, are managed by the same company so they have similar odds.

5. Promotions and Rewards

Promotions and rewards are how you get an advantage over the sportsbook. The days of free money are over but you can still be enticed by some pretty cool offers. Look for a book that has a reward program that rewards you for playing, it’s like free money that you wouldn’t see any other way. Look for reload promos, special event rewards, seasonal bonuses and use them. Why wouldn’t you?

+1 Deposit/ Withdrawal Methods

If you use specific banking methods you will need to check with the sportsbook. Some of them only take certain forms of payments or payout is specific manors. Limits on deposits, withdrawals, and time delays in getting funds are things you must consider. If you want to make your rent for tomorrow, you might win a mint and not be able to get the funds until it is too late or have to wait for a check in the mail.
