Advantages: The thrill of betting without using your hard-earned cash Disadvantages: Austrian site so some funny games and sports pop up
...which is the internet, Austria's betandwin.com is an excellent introduction to the "joys" of gambling from home.
Although there is an option to bet in cash, the real attraction is the fact that you can bet either with the sites own arena$, which you can convert into beenz, or - for those of you who collect beenz - with the popular(ish) web currency itself.
Anything you win is paid back in the same currency ... ...an option to put the beenz you win into your beenz account.
Betting is, at the moment, available on the following sports :
FOOTBALL
ALPINE SKI-ING
AMERICAN FOOTBALL
TENNIS
HOCKEY
FORMULA 1
HANDBALL
SKI NORD (what ever that might be).
The odds are reasonable and are generally expressed in decimal form (eg a £1 bet at 1.20 gets you a return of £1.20, ... more
For those of you who fancy a flutter on-line but don't want to drop your credit card details into the murky pond which is the internet, Austria's betandwin.com is an excellent introduction to the "joys" of gambling from home.
Although there is an option to bet in cash, the real attraction is the fact that you can bet either with the sites own arena$, which you can convert into beenz, or - for those of you who collect beenz - with the popular(ish) web currency itself.
Anything you win is paid back in the same currency (cash, arena$, beenz) that you bet with. Fortunately there is an option to put the beenz you win into your beenz account.
Betting is, at the moment, available on the following sports :
FOOTBALL ALPINE SKI-ING AMERICAN FOOTBALL TENNIS HOCKEY FORMULA 1 HANDBALL SKI NORD (what ever that might be).
The odds are reasonable and are generally expressed in decimal form (eg a £1 bet at 1.20 gets you a return of £1.20, that is your £1 stake plus 20 pence winnings, there is no tax to pay).
Combination bets are only available as roll ups (ie you bet on four games and they all have to win for you to collect) These obviously give you better odds but it's not possible to do the more complex bets available on British sites.
The only other drawbacks (other than San Marino drawinf with Latvia :-)) are that
(1) the site doesn't tell you when the games are to be played which can be a pain if you're waiting for some European game which you then discover isn't to be played for a fortnight.
(2) the login is somewhat slow and clumsy, involving pop-ups, as does the ability to check your site.
One nice point is the fact that you can take part in online sports quizes for more arena$ - I've yet to win one, but maybe you know more about sport than I do.
Perhaps not for everyone, but if you do want to bet online, it's a good intro - and you get 50 free arena$ for joining to start you off.
Advantages: More sport bets than anywhere else I've seen. Sports quiz available to win more bets. Disadvantages: Can't find any.
This is an interesting betting website as it allows you to gamble using "beenz" as well as real cash. For those who are not familiar with beenz, they are a form of currency traded on the internet and can be used to buy goods such as DVDs, flowers, cinema tickets, etc. Collection of beenz is done via registration of various sites, winning competitions, and so on. Take a look at www.beenz.com for more details.
Anyway, back to betandwin. As I mentioned ... ...not bet with real money, why not have a go with beenz? You must convert beenz to betting currency known as "arenas". The conversion is 1 beenz to 1 arena. You can then bet using your arenas (50 arenas are given to you upon signing up). At any time, you may convert arenas back to beenz if you like. For this reason, www.betandwin.com has an advantage over other betting sites such as Blue Square, Eurobet, etc.
Of course, as this is betting, there is ...

Advantages: You can bet with beenz Disadvantages: Site can be confusing, dosent tell you when the game is being played
Betandwin.com is another betting website, but this one has a difference….you can bet with their own currency which are called ‘Arenas$’. You can even play with beenz by converting beenz from your account into Arenas$. So, you don’t have to bet with cash, therefore it doesn’t cost anything. If you do play with their own currency, you will win that currency back if you win a bet, but you can swap these back to beenz and so on. I chose to play ... ...to play with, answer the optional question at the bottom of the registration form and you’ll get another 50 arenas. So, you have 100 free to bet with. Why not give it a go I thought….so I did, and got very confused! The site is not all that user friendly, especially if you have no background knowledge in betting ( I had never placed a bet in my life) but they have an excellent online help system which will show you everything you need, including ...

Advantages: simple to use Disadvantages: poor content
I’m not a serious betting man. In fact I only regularly bet on the Grand National, unless you count the national lottery. Nevertheless, I joined BetandWin because they let you gamble with beenz. For me this takes away a lot of the inherent risk in gambling since I’m only really gambling pennies.
- The site allows you to bet on sports in the following categories:
- Soccer
- Tennis
- American Football
- Boxing
- Formula 1
- Specials
- Motorsport
... ...a fairly simple procedure for a non-professional like me, and the more I use the site the more complex bets I try. For example, I just completed some combi-bets on the British Grand Prix this weekend.
During Wimbledon I made the most of “live bets”, a system that gives you the option to bet on events happening very shortly. I was placing bets on the outcome of each individual set I the final.
Aside from the betting funciotnality there is little ...

Betandwin.com is a website that allows betting on virtually any sport throughout the world, and it can be at no cost, yes, completely free.
How, well if you join betanwin through another website such as beenz.com, you will be given 50 free arena$. Arena$ are virtual money that you play this game with, or gamble.
You can bet as many or as few arena$ as you wish, and can save them up to buy prizes with, or, if you so desire, can do what I do and ... ...to put into your beenz account.
If you are wise you can join this for free through beenz, collect your 50 free arena$, gamble slowly and wisely and boost your arena$, then exchanging them for beenz every time you go over 100 arena$. If however, you are very unlucky, or are not quite as wise and lose your arena$, then you can simply think that you have had some fun that did not cost anything.
This also works the other way and you can exchange beenz ...

Advantages: Beenz and arenas? Disadvantages: bad structure, hard to find your way around, cheap design
...serious and trustworthy ones. Betandwin.com may be one of these serious sites, but still I did not like their offerings. My first impression was darkened by the very bad structured and organized homepage. It took me quite a while untill I found the button that leads to the registration part. The design simply is too colorful and therefore confusing. In my opinion it gives me the impression of beeing somewhat cheap. I even wrote an email to ask for ... ...Further I think, offering pretended money just as "beenz" or "arenas", is a jolly idea, but for my part it is too boring. I am betting on sports, because I want to have the feeling while watching a match as a spectator that I really can lose something. The stakes must not even be high, but still betting with real money offers you a special feeling. "Beenz" and "arena" are a nice invention for kids or people that just want to check out the site, before ...
