About: Frank has had an interest in gambling since his childhood and was a yearly regular at the money wheel at his church’s carnival. In college, Frank began betting on horse races and regualarly visited the OTB 45 minutes away from school. Even in college, he was practicing responsible gambling by only taking the money he had to bet with him to the track and leaving his ATM card at home. Later in college, Frank graduated to betting on NFL and NCAA Football games. But shortly after college, Frank learned that his betting strategy was less than optimal and began his education in sports betting strategies. It was during this research that he discovered a disciplined and responsible method of betting on sports called Sports Investing. Shortly after learning the principles of sports investing, Frank turned his losing betting seasons into consistent bankroll fattening seasons. Parlaying his two passions of sports investing and writing, Frank started writing his betting guide, The Bettor’s Guide to Sports Investing, in 2003. The guide was released in 2004 as an ebook on the website he built to market the site. Frank longed to build a website that was a resource for the sports bettor. Somewhere he could share his knowledge and experiences with the sports betting public. After a couple different domain names and forms, Frank settled on setting up this Odds On Betting blog and now provides The Bettor's Guide to Sports Investing to the sports betting community for free.

This show of the Odds On Betting Podcast, I talk about many things that sports bettors overlook when opening up a new sportsbook account.

With sportsbooks being central to the online sports bettor’s success, one must be educated on what exactly to look for when choosing a sportsbooks.

Additionally, a sports bettor needs to understand that not all websites have their best interest in mind.

All sites, including mine, are affiliates of the sportsbooks that they promote.  However, many list each and every sportsbook in hopes for more traffic and a bigger check.

Not all sites are like this.  Many operators of websites, including myself, truly believe in the sportsbooks that they promote, have accounts and use these sportsbooks.  We have built relationships with these sportsbooks to offer our visitor, members and subscribers special bonuses, contest, etc to heighten their experience.

It is important that you trust the source of the review before you decide to open up a new sportsbook.  Many sites don’t have these relationships and connections; they are only looking for a paycheck.

Also, don’t let the bonus blind you.  I can offer you special bonus for JustBet, but that isn’t why you should open up an account.  A sign-up bonus is a one-time thing.  Make sure the rest of the service is something you will enjoy and trust the rest of the time you are betting at the particular sportsbooks.

Finally, all bettors should have accounts at multiple sportsbooks.  I explain exactly why during the second segment of the podcast.  To increase your odds on winning more money, you really need to have more than one sportsbook account.
