Advantages: Diversity of bets, No bookies involved, tremendous fun Disadvantages: None
Move over bookies Flutter.com is here.
I had heard about this site from a number of my friends but only actually visited it yesterday.
As far as betting goes and as far as betting with your usual bookmakers, to use the word “different” is still an understatement.

Flutter.com has recently raised $39m in a private round of financing. Its investors include: Europ@web, UBS Capital, Chase Episode 1, Index Ventures and Benchmark Capital. Flutter.com gives you the opportunity to bet with other punters in a bookie-free environment. This basically means that you can obtain much better odds than any bookie could possibly give you.
It also gives you the opportunity to bet on any event ...

Advantages: Better odds than bookmakers. You're up against people like yourself. Site runs beautifully on PCs. Disadvantages: Won't work on a Mac. Commission on bets and withdrawals maybe a bit high.
Betting has never been a way of making money but having money at stake on something (for example the recent England vs Greece game), can make it so much more exciting.
Since the Internet betting revolution began most of my online bets have been made at Flutter.com. The simple reason being that I take far more pleasure out of winning someone else’s money than that of a bookmaker. On the other hand if I lose I’m safe in the knowledge that my money ... ...than Ladbrokes’ favourite Swiss bank account.
The concept is, I’ve found, initially quite difficult to grasp. Imagine though a simple bet you make in the office with a colleague as to whether he will pull a certain female that evening. The bets for a tenner, i.e. if he scores you give him a tenner and if he doesn’t he gives you a tenner. Naturally the bird just wants to be his friend and you’re a tenner up the next morning. More to the point though ...

Advantages: A simple, fun, colourful website. And a great betting concept. Disadvantages: You often find some really stupid odds being offered. People who have no idea about betting! {as though I'm experienced! ;-)}
...I had been a flutter.com member for a short while and found it very fun. I bet quite a lot (not vast sums, but reasonable amounts...beer money etc) and love betting and sports (bad combination I hear you mutter! -I know-). I had won the odd £20-£30 and had obviously taken advantage of the free £10 for initially joining... so I had not used any real money and was now in position of enough finances to make a night of it! A few beers, a curry etc...
... ...the time, flutter.com were offering a free £5 bet to have between yourself and a friend who you introduce to the site and who then register. The winner of your little wager would then get another £5. This could only be done once per member for obvious reasons. It was a great incentive for new members and probably gained flutter.com thousands more registered members. A great thing for the entire flutter community.

Advantages: Can get great odds on your bet Disadvantages: sometimes a bit slow to load
Flutter.com is a great site for a small time gambler. More often than not, the odds on offer are much better than those offered by bookmakers.
I started at flutter.com with an initial investment of £10 and have only made small bets since then (2 or 3 quid). The most i have staked to date is £15 on an evens favourite. However, i have managed to earn over £50 in less than a month betting on once or, at most, twice a day. The best way to win on this ... ...lot about, e.g. football or greyhounds or whatever. For me this is horseracing (as my opinion on the subject shows!!) i make one selection in the morning, or evening, before racing and then i bet on it. Generally i ask for slightly better odds than i expect so, for a horse which is roughly 1-2 i will ask for evens. Most of the time these bets are matched, that is the beauty of the site, there is always somebody willing to oppose your choice. This ...

Advantages: One to one betting, £10 sign up pressent Disadvantages: None really, apart from the fact that you can lose money.
Flutter.com is an online betting site. However, flutter is different, your not betting against a bookie, your one to one betting against somebody else who uses the site. Therefore, there is no bookie to take huge amounts of commission and also, you get better odds as they are not set up by the bookie either, it is all individual people that you are betting against. - SO WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT Well, I’ve already said this above. Anybody can ... ...take your bet. Flutter.com will then take a percentage of the overall money (say you can win a total of £10, they normally take about 20p out of that money, so you can win £9.80) to go towards the running of the website and paying their staff. You can bet as much as you like, well, if you are laying a bet you can, so long as you have the avaliable funds in your account to pay the people who take your bet if, sadly, you loose. You do have to bet something ...

BETTING JUNKIE
As an addict to just about anything where you can earn money from the Internet I LOVE THIS SITE. I started betting while bored at university with Ladbrokes and William hill. I won about £20 in my first two weeks and was hooked. I then discovered that there are thousands of online betting sites where they offer you free bets etc upon registering. I quickly gobbled the offers of www.bluesq.co.uk, www.surreysports.co.uk, eurobet.co.uk ... ...for what I could I would more often than not just leave and return only if their were special odds etc. (dooyoo betting site is very good for this – NOT THAT I EVER VISIT DOOYOO…honest ) AND THEN I SAW HER FACE
So I came across flutter. I had actually heard of it from some of my dodgy mates at uni but saw it advertised on a free website. The £10 offer was very good and I also won a free £5 with an absolutely stupid bet. I won my £10 ...

The bets that you see on the site will all have been entered by other members, in the hope that some poor individual (like me) will take them on. It tries to kind of create a bit of friendliness between its users. After using the site for a while, you get used to a few names, as you do on ciao, but on Flitter they still remain a lot more anonymous really. Flutter.com do take a little commission from each ...

Disadvantages: Arrogant, self appreciating, 'let's bring back capital punishment for incompetent betters' and 'don't waste my time, boy', betting tycoon type people
If you have ten minutes to spare, drag yourself away from ciao and register at flutter.com. Ten minutes is all you need to: register, get yourself a free ten pounds to bet, bet said ten pounds on something, have a free five pound bet on relatively simple (if you pick the right time to register) subjects and log off before returning to our darling ciao.
Very seriously, they are giving you ten pounds to bet which you can either fritter away or build ... ...that ten pounds without spending any of your own well earnt cash.
The site is very well presented (decked out in orange (i like) and blue) and quite easy to navigate.

Advantages: fun fun fun, obscure bets available Disadvantages: no each way bet on horses, site sometimes slow or throws you out.
Flutter.com is fab. It's for people who wouldn't go into a bookies and know nothing about gambling. People who will enjoy this site (and I do a lot!) are those who might have a friendly banter with a mate that their team would beat their mate's team at whatever particular sport it is they are talking about. One inevitably says something along the lines of, "Put your money where your mouth is..." and this is where the banter ends. Not so with Flutter.
... ...bet (flutter) with you on practically anything, from sport to the FTSE100, politics to the age of tomorrow's page 3 stunner. Honest!
You can take flutters that have been left on the site by others. If there is nothing you fancy, you can offer a flutter of your own and wait to see if someone takes it. If they do, you get to see if you are right. If no one takes it, you get your money credited to your account again.

Advantages: An easy way to bet, saves queues at betting shop and smell of wee from the people inside Disadvantages: Also a very easy and additive way of gambling
...going to place anyway.
Flutter.com is not a bookmaker. This site makes its money by letting punters bet against each other and then takes a percentage from the winnings whcih I think is 10 percent.
You have two options to bet:-
1) You can take someone elses bet (ie They want Man utd to win and you want Chelsea) and you bet against the person who offers you a good price and matches the price you want to bet.
2) Or you can place a new flutter of ... ...against you.
As well as the normal sports betting, you can bet on what or who will be on the front page of the national newspapers on Monday.It also had a bet about The Sun newspaper, with page three by a blonde, be over 20 and live north of Watford???and also how many nipples would appear in the cartoon section. The Loch ness monster also comes up!!!

Advantages: Excellent site, easy to use with better odds than the bookies Disadvantages: Too easy to become addicted. On-screen money seems like a number but remember it is still REAL CASH! Don't go betting what you don't have.
www.flutter.com This site is excellent for a little bit of fun, beware though as it can be addictive. It's a gambling site but with a slight twist. You gamble against people, not against a 'bookie'. This means people can set their own odds (although obviously favourable odds will be accepted by others more readily) and that you keep a larger % of winnings. Also, NO TAX :).
Whats more, you can use the sites current offer, a FREE £10 bet! This is ... ...the site in order to obtain this cash. There is no fee whatsoever (monthly or otherwise). Indeed, the only catch is that if you win more than £10 from this initial bet (and you can split the £10 bet into two £5 bets or a £3 and a £7 bet or ... you get the idea) then the site takes the £10 back and leaves you with just the winnings to play on with. Fair enough, its still free money.
You do need to put in your credit/debit card details, which I was ...

...try, I would strongly recommend FLUTTER.COM (but as I’ve lost sooooo much money today, I won’t!!…….no, I will really). For starters, they give you a free £10 to start betting with. So it’s actually worth signing up just for that really. You might be able to (if you have any amount of luck in you at all. That stuff that I seem to be lacking), turn that 10 in to possibly hundreds, without ever using a penny of your own ... ...(getting the £10 anyway. Winning the hundreds is proving to be a little more difficult!!!). Signing up is very easy. You fill in a form asking you for your name, address and credit card details (they give you a choice of the card you want to use (I’m using SWITCH)). They are all secure details, so I personally feel fairly safe giving them away. If you want to continue on past the first £10, they need them to deposit money from your bank account, ...

Flutter.com is one of the many betting sites now available to armchair gamblers, so why choose it above all the others? Well, I have to admit, being the capitalist, free-money-grabbing kind of person that I am (and also poor - I only graduated last summer) I joined this site on the promise of free money to bet with - £10 worth of free bets on registering, and a further £15 from various promotions run by the site since then. I thought this might be ... ...been decided, the people at flutter.com debit the loser's account, give the winner their money and take a small commision for themselves. You are then free to take you money and run, or to carry on and take another flutter - you many have as many simultaneous flutters as the money in your account allows.
A new feature of the site is the ability to bet against friends (where the outcome has to be agreed upon by both parties for the winner to get ...
