Bet 365 - Review

Bet365 offer a reasonable range of bet types on a 3 major markets - the FTSE 100, Wall St, and major currency pairs. This variety gives the punter a fair bit of flexibility in the majority of market conditions. There is no downloadable version of their software, so all bets have to be placed online.

Bet365's realtime software is very straightforward, although anyone betting for the first time should do a bit of research on what bet types mean, as there is little in the way of support for newbies on the site. Also, their bet descriptions may differ from the generic fixed odds terms, so double-checking your understanding of their terminology would be advisable. Although their onsite support is lacking, their responses to email queries are prompt and do help.

One main advantage of the site is that it allows you to bet on currencies without having to outlay too much cash. If you wanted to bet on currencies via a forex or spread betting platform, you would need a considerably larger amount of cash to cover your margin. And obviously with the safety net of fixed odds betting you are not going to lose anything other than your original stake. (If anyone comes across a broker that does not stick to this, please contact us and tell us about it.

For each market there is a basic graph located below the betting interface which has a useful time and level function. However, the ability to alter the graph's time frame is missing. This should not pose too much of a problem because if you are serious about fixed odds financial betting, as there are plenty of free sources of reliable interactive charts out there on the net.

Overall the service provided by Bet 365 is fine for the needs of someone entering the fixed financials market, but before doing so it would be advisable to ensure that you are fully aware of the exact parameters of the bet types on offer. Finally, one more positive point is that with the minimum stake of 10p, it is a good place to learn how the markets move without breaking the bank - quite a suitable place for beginners to start.
