I do a lot of sports betting on the internet and I'm constantly on the lookout for good betting sites. I came across www.bet247.co.uk (formerly www.betdirect.net) and I was given £5 for free upon opening an account and depositing some money. Upon registering or logging on you are "conveniently" taken to the page to deposit some funds.
Bet247 is owned by Littlewoods who are famous for their football pools betting. With such a famous name behind it, ... ...a betting site. Not surprisingly, football betting is well covered here and you can also do the football pools on this site. Bet247 does fail on one thing and it is a major one too! It is deficient of bets for other sports and at the time of writing this op I checked on their website, clicked on "other sports" and saw that the only bets available there was American Football!! This is a British site and there were no bets on British Sports!!

You can bet your life you will enjoy this website. Let me start by telling you I am of the fairer sex and ‘yes’ us ladies like a flutter just as much as our male counterparts. You only have to look at the wonderful turn out at Ascot to appreciate that. If you’re like me however you will probably never have the chance to go to Ascot on ladies day but you may be lucky enough to experience the live action of horse racing. For the rest of the world who ... ...is the answer. I am registered with a few online betting shops as they have offered different incentives at different times. In this review we are looking at bet247 and I have to say it is my favourite out of them all.
~~Online V Betting Shops~~
My husband visits the ‘betting shop’ every week to place his fixed odds and maybe a bet on the horses. Now, I have been in betting shops especially on Grand National day but they aren’t the nicest of places. ...

Advantages: Use to use Disadvantages: Slow site, betting is evil!!
Sorry about two betting opinions off the trot, but Im just that excited today with the Grand National. All my bloody horses fell over together when a riderless horse crossed there path. Until then I had the winner on the nose, and two others which I had each way in the top five!!. I sorry I lost my money, but im glad this year that none of the horses where hurt.
I used www.betdirect.net today (same website as bet247.com both sites operated by Littlewoods ... ...paper offering a free bet on the national today for first time users. So I registered on the website which did take some time as the website was very very slow. But today I can understand it as it is the busiest weekend for betting because 100 million pounds expected to be bet on Racing, rugby and football.
After you log into the site it offers you several different options:-
Football betting
Todays Racing betting Ante Racing betting Golf betting

Advantages: Odds are occasionally better than other sites Disadvantages: Odds are occasionally worse than other sites.
What did come first? bet247.co.uk or bluesq.com?
Regardless, the design system is similar. Although the graphical layout is very different, it is when you place your bet, that you will notice that both sites use a pop-up window. For depositing £5 onto their site, you will receive £5 from them to use on this site (bringing the minimum total you can use to £10). This is generous but not as much as others and is for a limited time only. Debit cards ... ...and even have the odd quirky ones (such as who will win Big Brother) but not in the same range as other sites (such as the other one I've mentioned but also odds on the first to be eliminated).
The graphical layout can feel somewhat cramped and a little amaterish but it does it's job very well. It is overall, easy on the eye and the userface is qucik and efficient. Not much more you could ask of them really.
And if you have a problem, their e-mail ...
