One of the most important things to do before betting is to find a reputable and totally reliable sports book.  Since a sport betting involves money very directly, it becomes essential to stay clear of sites with an iffy reputation – deal only with the ones which can be trusted.  There are quite a few websites like the FIFA55 to pick from and it can get very confusing – talk to people who have placed bets and won – and then use that particular site.

Another way to go about finding sites is to check out reviews of betting sites – information like selection on betting odds and wagers, customers service, ease of use and information available and how long they have been operating are all part of the criteria to look at before signing up to place bets.  Most of these sites are off shore and legitimate and don’t attract the attention of the Feds.

Funding one’s account:

There are 2 methods for funding an account.  The best way to do so is to use Moneygram or Western Union to transfer funds.  Western Union is a legitimate service and no indication of a scam.  The process is straightforward – go to the site deposit page and select the option of sending money by either service and get information on how and where to send the money.  Set up an online account with Western Union, wire the money, note the transaction number and enter it on the sport book website to confirm the transaction.  For deposits of $250 and over, both sites waive the transaction fee.

The other way to do it is to use a credit card to transfer the funds.  There is no need to worry since the sites are professionally run – it is just like buying products online.  Credit cards are a preferred method of funding as the deposit is much lower and the sites don’t charge a fee.  The only thing clients have to do is to send a paper copy of the card to set up authorization. These sites don’t take credit cards from specific cities and states – find out which ones before signing up as they could cause legal problems.

How to place a bet:

This is the easiest step of all – once the money is in the account, pick a game and put down your bet on FIFA55.  Pick carefully as there is no chance of getting the money back.
