			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a new online bingo room that is becoming very popular in England over the past few months. It is called <a href="http://www.xbingo.com/" target="_blank">XBingo</a> and it was created back in June last year. One of the reason that they have become popular is because they offer a free £5 no deposit bonus to all new players. This will give them a legitimate shot to play the games at XBingo without having to risk anything at first. Try it out for free and see if you like XBingo.</p>
<p>If you do, this bingo site will offer you a first deposit bonus of 300%. Deposit £10 and you will receive £30 bonus for a starting total of £40! This bonus can <strong>only be used on real money bingo games</strong> and can’t be used on the progressive jackpots or game prizes. The real money will be used before the Bonus money.</p>
<p>You will be required to <strong>wager the bonus amount 4 times</strong>: if you deposit £30, you will be required to wager £120 before you can withdraw money without removing the bonus money.</p>
<p>There is also daily bingo promotion for each day of the week. A lot of these daily promotions are cashback for losses on the mini games and slots. There is also a daily MegaWheel game that can be played for free when you make a deposit. Or you can participate in a Weekly Slots Tournament: there is a total of £1,500 in cash prizes for those who play the chosen Slots games each week. The tournament runs from Monday to Sunday every week.</p>
<h3>XBingo Games</h3>
<p>XBingo may not have the vast variety of bingo games and rooms that some of the online bingo giants; however, they offer both 90 ball bingo and 75 ball bingo games in a variety of stakes from as little as 1p a card and up.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-101" style="padding-right: 8px;" title="90 ball bingo game at XBingo" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/xbingo-90ball.gif" alt="xbingo-90ball" width="300" height="225" align="left" /><strong>90 Ball Bingo</strong> – Here is a look at the 90 ball bingo room at XBingo. You will be able to see the numbers called on the left and your tickets will be in the middle of the screen.</p>
<p>As the balls are drawn, you will see the numbers get covered on your tickets. The tickets can be arranged so that the closest tickets to winning are shown first. In the upper-right corner of the ticket, you will see a message like 2TG which means 2 numbers To Go.</p>
<p>There are 3 prizes in any 90 ball bingo game: 1 Line, 2 Lines and House. Each line contains 5 numbers that must be covered. House means that you have covered all 15 numbers on your bingo card.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102" style="padding-right: 8px;" title="75 Ball Bingo game at XBingo" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/xbingo-75ball.gif" alt="xbingo-75ball" width="300" height="225" align="left" /><strong>75 Ball Bingo</strong> – The format on the screen is very similar to the 90 ball bingo game. Only the rules of the game are different.</p>
<p>In 75 ball bingo, you will receive a 5×5 square bingo card. There obviously will only be 75 balls that can be drawn. The object is to either cover a Line, a Pattern or Coverall. Each column will contain 5 numbers out of a possible of 15 different numbers. The first column includes numbers between 1 and 15; 2nd column: 16-30; 3rd column: 31-45; 4th column: 46-60 and 5th column: 61-75.</p>
<p>The Line is 5 covered numbers in any direction: Up/down, Left to right or Diagonally. The Pattern will be different from game to game. It can be an X pattern, O pattern, cover the corners, Cross pattern and so on. The Coverall simply means you must cover all 24 numbers on the bingo card (the middle space is always Free).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-91" style="padding-right: 8px;" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/cheltenham-horse-racing.jpg" alt="cheltenham-horse-racing" width="300" height="180" align="left" />It’s hard to believe that the Cheltenham Festival is only 6 weeks away. Racing fans across the country will be making this event the centre of their attention. Cheltenham consists of 4 days of horse racing. Day one is scheduled for Tuesday 13th March and the Festival ends on 16th March.</p>
<p>The big event is the Cheltenham Gold Cup which will start 16 March at 15:20. The current favourite is the Gold Cup winner from last year, <strong>Long Run</strong>. The bookmakers have him listed at 9/4. Two time Gold Cup winner <strong>Kauto Star</strong> is a close second at 7/2 odds. After <strong>Grands Crus</strong> at 6/1 odds, no other horse is currently less than 10 to 1.</p>
<p>Obviously, this can all change within the next 6 weeks of racing before Cheltenham. These odds will change depending on the results of the upcoming races. That is why the bookmakers accept <a title="Cheltenham Betting" href="http://cheltenhamfestival.free-bet-finder.com/" target="_blank">Cheltenham betting</a> this early. You can lock in a bet on an underdog at a good price, like <strong>Midnight Chase</strong> at 16/1. Let’s say that this horse shows up and wins his next race; the odds will go up significantly to somewhere around 6/1 to 8/1.</p>
<p>The Cheltenham Gold Cup is just one of the 27 races that will take place over the four day festival. Day 1 is many of the punters favourite with a trio of heats that will have massive betting. The Supreme Novices Hurdle (fist race – 1:30pm), the Arkle Chase (2:05 pm) and the Champion Hurdle (3:20pm). Of course, the 3:20pm race is the feature race of the day.</p>
<p>Day Two of the Festival is primarily focused around the Queen Mother Champion Chase (3:20pm). Punters will makes bets on this heat and the RSA Chase (2:40pm) right before it. Day Three has the least number of races (6) and the majority of the wagers will be placed on the Ladbrokes World Hurdle (3:20).</p>
<p>Day 4 has the featured race of the Festival, the Cheltenham Gold Cup (3:20pm). However, the Triumph Hurdle (1:30pm) and Albert Bartlett Hurdle (2:40pm) races are the other favourites of bettors.</p>
<p>What you will end up finding out is that many of the other races that are scheduled do not have odds yet at most of the bookmakers. Bet365 is one of the few that has early odds on several races such as the Grand Annual Chase (the last heat of the festival). What you will find, however, that these odds will change greatly from now up to the start of the Festival. Unless you are really an insider, I would stick to betting on the top races shown above.</p>
<p>As we get closer to the Cheltenham Festival, you will start to see <strong>Free Bets</strong> that will be offered by sports betting sites like Will Hill and Bet365.</p>
<h3>How to Bet on Horses</h3>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-94" title="Cheltenham Festival" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/cheltenham-festival-2012.jpg" alt="cheltenham-festival-2012" width="600" height="350" /></p>
<p>So, how do you pick a winner? When it comes to picking the winners in horse racing, there are a couple of important factors:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Previous race results for the horse:</strong> You really need to get a form for these races. In this form should be the current odds, the previous races results for the horse, the jockey that was riding the horse and the track length and conditions. These previous race results will give you an indication for how a horse is performing.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Previous race results for the jockey:</strong> Some jockeys seem to get a horse to perform better than other jockeys. The jockey’s influence is often overlooked in the results. If you can find out which other horses the jockey raced with, you can start to discard a bad showing for a horse here or there.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Track Conditions:</strong> This is the other thing that a good form will let you know. If the conditions were bad for all of the horses, you can decide whether or not this race will influence your decision.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Trainer:</strong> Some trainers can consistently get more out of a racehorse than others. That is why you will see multiple horses from the same trainer visiting the winner’s circle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Betting on your favourite sporting events can be fun if you know what you are doing. I am going to give the beginner punters some advice that I have learned from betting for several years.</p>
<p>My sport of choice is football. Like many others I like watching the premiership or as it is called now the Barclays Premier League. My favoured Blackburn Rovers have been struggling to avoid the bottom of the table all year long. Of course they have to get out of the bottom 3 to avoid relegation at the end of the season. In a league dominated by the Manchester clubs, betting on the fixtures can give you something to cheer for.</p>
<p>It’s going to be very difficult for the majority of the teams to chase down the top 4 in the table; but Chelsea has been struggling of late. There is a large group of teams in the middle of the pack between 30 and 25 points, but Arsenal, Newcastle United and Liverpool have the best chance of running them down.</p>
<h3>Online Sports Betting</h3>
<p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.mobilebetting.net/how-to-bet-on-sports/" target="_blank">betting on sport online</a>, the first thing you need to know about and have is a bankroll. This is the money that you need to have in reserve in case your bets don’t pay off. Managing a bankroll is relatively easy. The trick is keeping your composure when you find yourself in a bit of a losing streak.</p>
<p>Here are the rules that I always following when I am betting:</p>
<ol>
<li>Determine how much you are going to keep in your bankroll. Let’s say that this is £1000 to make the calculation simple.</li>
<li>Keep your typical bet under 5% of your total bankroll. That means you should not be making bets larger than £50.</li>
<li>If you are betting against long odds (like betting on Wigan to win against Tottenham Hotspur), don’t bet more than 1% of your total bankroll.</li>
<li>If you lose more than 15% of you total bankroll over a day or two, don’t place anymore wagers for a week or so.</li>
<li>Until you are very comfortable betting on sport, don’t wager on any unique bets like Total Corners or Total Yellow Cards for example. Stick with the <a href="http://www.mobilebetting.net/popular-football-betting-options/" target="_blank">common football bets</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>These rules sound very easy, but sticking to them can be quite difficult.</p>
<p>You can kind of tell that I prefer Bet365 and William Hill for betting on sport if you look around this website. That is because I like the In-Play betting combined with the live video during the matches that I can watch from my computer.</p>
<p>Some of the In-Play bets that I like to make are the Fulltime Result and the Next Goal as well as the Over/Under match goals. The odds on these bets will change as time progresses in the match. I also like to place a bet on a particular Forward to score a goal in the match. I usually place a small wager on Yakubu to score for Blackburn, but I’m sure you have your favourite strikers as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you can make bets on your favourite sports teams from your mobile? In the past year, several online sportsbooks have moved into the <a href="http://www.mobilebetting.net/" target="_blank">Mobile Sports Betting</a> market. I’m going to quickly look at my two favourite sports betting sites, which I already have in different places on the site.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-76" style="padding-right: 5px;" title="Bet365 Mobile Page" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bet365-mobile.jpg" alt="bet365-mobile" width="177" height="300" align="left" />First, lets take a look at the Mobile Betting features that are available at Bet365. You can use your existing Bet365 account to place bets from your mobile. All you have to do is go to mobile.bet365.com and you will see the screen shown on the left.</p>
<p>The most popular bets that you can make at Bet365?s website can also be made from you mobile. The In-Play bets are some of the most popular. You can make bets in game. These bets can be “which team will score the next goal?” for football or similar bets for a lot of the popular sports.</p>
<p>You can go through the general Sports Menu and view the current odds for Tennis, Gold, Cricket, Cycling, UFC, American and Australian rules football. And of course you can bet on Football games (listed under soccer); all of the major leagues are listed including Premiere League, UEFA Champions League and the Euro 2012. You can even find events all over the rest of the world.</p>
<p>Another thing that Bet365 offers that isn’t at all of the sports books is Horse Racing. Their main focus is on UK &amp; Ireland Horse Racing events; however, you can also bet on international horse racing events like the one in America.</p>
<p>Bet365 Mobile is available for a long list of mobile devices including iPhone and Android. You can also watch live sport if you are using an iPhone, iPad or Android! This can really help you with those In-Play bets if you can watch them on the tele.</p>
<h3>100% Initial Mobile Bonus</h3>
<p>One of the things that new players can receive is up to $100 in Free Plays when you use your mobile to place bets. You will receive a match on bets placed on your mobile up to $100. You must bet at least $2 to be eligible for the match. You will need to rollover the bonus money 3 times on the Mobile services before you can make a withdrawal.</p>
<h2>William Hill Mobile</h2>
<p>William Hill also has a mobile betting app. They are very comparable to Bet365 in most of the features. The only reason the I listed Bet365 first is because they offer the bonus money for betting on your mobile.</p>
<p>However, William Hill will also give you a bonus for making mobile bets. This is a 100% bonus up to £25. This new betting service has been advertised extensively during Premier League fixtures, so you probably have already seen their mobile betting options.</p>
<p>One feature that William Hill offers players from the UK is a telephone betting feature. This will allow punters to place a bet by making a call at any time of the day or night. William Hill also offers a radio service which provides you with live commentary as well as previews and predictions of the most popular matchups.</p>
<p>If you would like to learn more about this, please take a look at this <a href="http://www.mobilebetting.net/mobile-betting-apps/william-hill-mobile-betting-review/" target="_blank">William Hill mobile review</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-71" style="padding-right: 8px;" title="Texas Holdem at PokerStars" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/texas-holdem-poker.jpg" alt="texas-holdem-poker" width="300" height="225" align="left" />Even in 2011 with the Texas Hold’em poker revolution at full pace, both online and off, there are still a lot of players who make the mistake of missing on the excitement and action of playing the game.</p>
<p>The reason is they believe that it is only possible to take part in <a href="http://www.pokerstars.co.uk/poker/games/texasholdem/" target="_blank">Texas Holdem games</a> for real money. However, they couldn’t be more mistaken.</p>
<p>These Holdem <a href="http://www.pokerstars.co.uk/" target="_blank">poker</a> novices would probably be very pleasantly surprised to discover that they are not alone in wanting to be able to practice and sharpen their skills playing, before entering the arena as a cash player. Yet it is very simple, and better still, involving no cost to gain all the experience they need to become an experienced Texas Holdem Online player.</p>
<p>All that these Hold’em poker novices need to do is join the poker room of their choice, making sure that they sign up as a guest player. As soon they do, they will; discover something very interesting.</p>
<p>That is that they are not alone and there are always a large number of guest players online in the same position. Lacking in experience and looking to gain some. Many Texas Holdem online poker rooms have players who play as guests for years, and even a few who enjoy the dual status of being a guest and real money player at the same time.</p>
<p>So when the time comes to choose which online Texas Holdem poker room to choose from, the first thing to remember is that you will probably be joining that room as a real money player in the future. That’s why you should take whatever time you need to find a Texas Holdem room you are comfortable with.</p>
<p>Check out the software and the graphics to see if you feel comfortable with it. Discover the deposit methods available as well as how long withdrawals can take. This may seem strange as you may not be making either in the near future, but it will give you the opportunity to check the customer service department to see if they are both efficient and friendly.</p>
<p>Once you have made your choice, the next stage is to begin to download the software. When you do so, bear in mind that a Texas Holdem Online Poker room is powered by a computer program like any other. So make sure that when you download you save it to a file that you will be able to find later. That should preferably be in your program file, usually found on your C hard drive.</p>
<p>When the Texas HoldEM program has been safely installed, make sure that you add a link to your desktop, and don’t forget to sign up as a guest player. If you have any problems downloading the software, then the casino’s customer service department should always be on call to offer advice and assistance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all of you football bettors out there, the Liverpool v Manchester United match is about a week away. Unfortunately, there are no matches to bet on this weekend, but there is a full slate of games beginning next weekend with this featured match at Anfield in Liverpool. This fixture will start 12:45.</p>
<p>Manchester United is on top of the Premiere League with 19 points after 7 matches played. They have yet to have many close matches as they have outscored their opposition by 19 goals. Liverpool will really need a good performance as they are currently 5th in the league with 13 points after 7 matches played.</p>
<p>The odds are currently 3.00 for Liverpool to win, 2.40 for Man Utd, and 3.30 for a draw.</p>
<p>If you would like to bet on this game, sign up at Bet365 and you can get £100 in Free Bets. One of the best features of Bet365 is the Live In-Play bets that you can make. You can bet on which team scores the next goal, over/under on match goals, over/under on the total number of Corners and much more.</p>
<p><a href="http://bettingshops.net/visit/bet365" target="_blank"><img title="Visit Bet365" src="http://bettingshops.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bet365-sports.gif" alt="100-free-bets" /></a></p>
<p>There are other fixtures to bet on 15 Oct. However, many of these are bad mismatches like Manchester City v Aston Villa or Chelsea v Everton. The 1.33 odds that both favourites are receiving isn’t really worth betting on.</p>
