Finding a good bookmaker

Righto, the challenge/experiment begins today.


I'm looking for a worthy online sports bookmaker who has the best deal for a $100 bankroll, and I'd be keen to hear suggestions.


The idea is that we lodge $100 and display each bet via this blog. That way, we can debate selections, celebrate wins, laugh together at losses and - most importantly - have a bit of fun.


All in all, I'll continue to knock in form guides, look for oddities, fluctuations and logical investments.


But first things first: Let's look at the bookies.


I've been with Sportsbet before, but don't like how difficult it is to cash out. Very easy to cash in, but when it comes to topping up the bank account, it's a bit like Fort Knox. I do, however, like their variety of bets - sports, entertainment, politics etc.


Centrebet seems to have some good racing options, but their choices are at times limited when it comes to sports.


Betfair, given that it allows punters to dictate the odds, seems to be one of the better options, but if anybody has any experience which indicates otherwise, please let me know.


TAB Sportsbet is okay, but the returns are woeful due to government regulations which dictate a 13% (or thereabouts) return for the State.
