A Background To Online Sports Betting
Internet technology has made it possible to place bets on sporting outcomes, from anywhere in the world, using a personal computer. This online sports betting revolution has allowed Centrebet to grow into a multi-million dollar business, operating in multiple languages and time zones, despite being licensed in one of the world's most isolated regions.
Centrebet's multi-language facilities have made online sports betting available in multiple currencies including; Australian dollars, Norwegian kroner, Swedish kronor, British pounds, Canadian dollars, US dollars, Danish kroner and Euros. We also accept account deposits from NETeller clients and from a range of credit/debit cards at our secure sports, racing and poker sites.
Centrebet's Range Of Online Sports Betting Options
There are clearly many reasons to consider online sports betting with Centrebet. Foremost among these is our expansive range of better prices on an average of over 4,000 books per week, on a range of sporting and competition events from all corners of the globe.
The options available to Centrebet's online sports betting customers are numerous and varied. Each week punters can place single bets - head-to-head, pick the score, line and margin to name but a few - on fixtures from the world's premier competitions. Alternatively, they may wish to add their single bets into a multi-legged parlay for higher returns, or simply back their favourite team to win the league.
Online Sports Betting Restrictions
Licensing laws restrict Centrebet's online sports betting operation through legislation. Centrebet is required to obtain a permit from the Northern Territory Government to offer bets on events that aren't 'sport' or events not covered by a governing body. This restriction does not stop us from regularly betting on entertainment events including popular TV shows like Big Brother or elections, beauty contests and award nights. Punters must also be of legal age; 18 years and over.
Offering odds on the weather or 'will we go to war?' type events is not allowed, so novelty bets like wagering whether your daughter will ever win Wimbledon can not be made.
The Punters' Favourite Online Sports Bets
The online sports betting game of choice is unquestionably football (soccer). Centrebet offers football odds on a wide range of football fixtures including leagues played in South America, Europe, United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Australia, as well as various world championships and other internationals. At the heart of popular football betting is our full and extensive range of books for the English Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
Centrebet also covers most other football codes - including AFL Australian Football league betting, betting on Australian NRL and English Super League Rugby League, NFL football odds and betting on Rugby Union.
Centrebet also offers online sports betting options on ice hockey, basketball, tennis, cricket, golf, baseball, horse racing, boxing betting and so much more.
Online Sports Betting - An Intellectual Pursuit
Online sports betting is vastly different to gaming and lotteries. Rather than mindlessly watching barrels roll whilst hoping the random-number machine decides on matching symbols, the sporting punter must study each event and weigh up the probability of a win. The role of the bookmaker is to provide prices which attract bets from the punter, but also allow some chance of making a profit over time. Both the punter and the bookmaker apply thought and experience to reduce the risk of losing money, making online sports betting a truly intellectual pursuit!
