Right, you want to put a bet on, be it on the latest Horse Race or a Football match that is only minutes away from kicking off!

So you go to your usual online bookmakers site, only to miss the event due to high traffic or snail slow servers meaning the said site takes an age to load, I’ve been there, done it and got the T-Shirt.

What I mean is, I have lost count of the number of times I have turned the TV over, seen a Horse race about to go off and fancied placing a bet, I’ve threw my computer on, logged onto the Internet and attempted to log on to one of my online bookmakers, you wait, wait a bit longer, still nothing happens, about 5 minutes later you get the chance to log on, the trouble is the race is half over and you’ve missed the chance to place the bet. Ok, most of the time you’d have lost, thus meaning you’ve actually saved money, but other times you could have just missed placing a bet on a nice winner.

So what’s the solution I hear you ask?

Well, you could always join up with Eurobet.co.uk, which is run by the well-established Coral bookmakers. Having just taken a quick look at the opinions already posted on Eurobet, I was actually surprised by the negative reviews the bookmakers actually has.

I myself only joined up with Eurobet a week or so ago, but I have been highly impressed by the ease of use and the speed of the site, even during the afternoon when most bookmaker sites are bogged down by excessive traffic, this site seems to be as fast as it is in the middle of the night.

The reason for the speed of the site is simple, you see, with Eurobet you get a simple site, you don’t get any fancy graphics to bog down the download speed and the site is not clogged up with useless links and options that you find with the more established online bookmakers, to navigate the site is absolutely simple, as each section is clearly labelled and once again, once chosen, the desired sport section is loaded very quickly.

The site doesn’t offer much in the “Special Bets” area, i.e. “Who shot Phil Mitchell?” and all that baloney, as you’d find with the other bookmakers, but offers the professional gamblers and serious punters exactly what they want, a simple and fast site, that allows you to get your bets on quickly and without any hassle. It also doesn’t offer much in the “Latest Sports News” side of things, but come on tell the truth, how often do you actually log onto a bookmakers site to find out the latest Football news? Never, that’s right. They do however offer a section where you can find all the latest sports results.

The site covers a decent range of sports, from football and cricket to horse racing and greyhound racing, it also gives you the chance to bet on the usual “first goal-scorer” type of bets so you have a wide variety of bets to choose from. And they also have a useful “Race Due” option, that informs you of any horse races, etc that are due off in the next few minutes, thus cutting out the risk of missing the next race.

Another thing I like about this site is, it actually tells you straight away what your exact winnings will be, albeit on the condition you have taken a price or you’re betting on fixed odds. Once your bet has been placed, you also have the chance to print out your betting slip and once again, this is done very simply and very clearly.

The site allows you to deposit funds into your account via Debit card, Credit card, Bank transfers, etc and they take all of the leading cards, even Solo (to which a lot of bookmakers actually refuse to deal with) and depositing and withdrawing is done with the minimum of fuss. I’m not too sure, but I think the minimum deposit has got to be at least £10, which is pretty high, but as I have already said, this site is ideal for the more serious punter and not your annual 10 pence each-way on the Grand National punter.

On the stakes and winning side of things, Eurobet allow you to bet on pretty minimal stakes, you have to stake at least £1.00 for each bet and the lowest multiple bet you can place is 10 pence i.e. 10 pence Yankee bet, etc. I know a lot of bookmakers allow lower stakes, but do you really want to be placing stakes lower that this? As for winnings, they allow winnings on any single bet to amount £100,000 (except for greyhound racing, were the maximum winnings on a single bet is £10,000).

Summary: So, this site is not the most glamorous site in the world, it doesn’t have eye-catching graphics and links to all the latest sports news, but what it does offer is a simple service to allow you to do exactly what you want to do on a bookmakers site, yes put your bets on, and it allows you to do this very easily and very speedily so you won’t be missing out on all your winners (and losers). I like the site very much and will be using it a lot more often than any other online bookmaker from now on.
