Bet 365 pretty much offers odds on any sport you care to think of (even non-sports like celebrity boxing and golf). Yep, sports like cricket, futsal (whatever that is), gaelic football, and aussie rules are covered. They haven't skimped on their coverage of North American sports either. The site avoids looking overly cluttered with a sensible layout.
The Webpage is well organised and no-frills. The front page shows you the top bets, "happy hour" special lines, and an ever changing set of special offers. Bet365 have a smorgasbord of free bet promotions, and free chips for their poker room and casino. They don't molly-coddle you though, so make sure you know what point-spreads and other basic things are.
The quantity of support is OK - they have a massive number of freephone numbers for various countries, and also offer a callback service. However, simple questions are referred to the website, so this is a site for experienced bettors. Other things that make it more suited to established sports bettors is that they only allow one free neteller withdrawal every 28 days.
Still, this is one of the big boys of online sports betting, and having an account here is well worthwhile.
