Guys, with Spread betting coming soon at SYNbet, I wanted to give all of you who don't know how it works a small insight...it is so intriguing that we believe many of you simply won't be able to resist it :)


How does sports spread betting differ from traditional fixed-odds betting?

With sports spread betting you are betting on the outcome of an event but the pay-out is based on the accuracy of the wager, rather than a simple 'win or lose' scenario, which is offered in fixed-odds sports betting. A spread is a range of outcomes, and a spread bet is whether the result will be above or below the spread.

In fixed-odds your potential winnings (and the amount you may lose) is fixed and known at the time the bet is struck. In spread betting, the amount you may win or lose will vary according to how right or wrong you are compared to our prediction. So unlike fixed-odds, the more right you are the more you win (and the more wrong the more you can lose).

How can I win or lose money?

Spread betting can be very rewarding and produce large returns on small stakes. Basically the more you're right, the more you win. However, the opposite can also be true - so the more you're wrong, the more you potentially lose. The profit or loss is determined by the difference between the final result and the price you originally bought or sold at.

What are the benefits of spread betting?

Spread betting brings more exhilaration to sport than any other form of sports betting. Here are just a few reasons why:

1. The more you're right, the more you win (and vice versa).
The majority of sports spread bets offer the attraction of potential big wins (but also potential losses) based on a multiple of your stake. No other form of sports betting comes close to offering this level of excitement.

2. It's not as risky as you might think.
Spread betting has a stigma of being risky, however this is misplaced. Like all forms of betting, it's only as risky as you want it to be. By controlling the size of your stake, you are controlling how much risk you are willing to take on. It's exactly like one bettor having a $2,000 fixed-odds bet on a team to win versus one who has $20 - it's all down to what you feel comfortable with.

Additionally, a Stop Loss account is a good way of controlling the perceived risk of spread betting. With this type of account, every bet you place has a maximum win and loss limit applied but again, it correlates directly with the stake you choose. That's the important thing to remember, it all comes back to the stake size.

Are you trying to tell us that you have created a new way of betting? From what I know, the spread betting is the most common way we bet on a sport event. What is new here?

When they say spread betting, they mean what Americans call margin betting. If you bet $10 and win by 10 pts you win $100, lose by 10 pts you lose $110. Win by 20 points win $200, lose by 20 lose $220 etc..

That is correct. And not a single other book offers it in US.

We are doing a small system update. It will all be working shortly

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the baseball odds are once again not available. I just got home from work and was hoping to get down on some of the 8:00 MLB games. Alas, this is just the 2nd time I've even tried to look at your MLB odds and each time they are unavailable. How can that be?

I do appreciate the generous contest and I plan on sticking with you guys through these early bumps in the road, but I've gotta say it's a little disappointing seeing these red flags so far. When will MLB be available? It's the only thing I want to wager in the evening, yet it's never available? I guess I'll just sit on my bankroll and wait for football.

We are doing a very large system update (still), which is all about the american sports in the sportsbook. Baseball, football, nhl and basketball. We are changing the odds layout, because many of you didn't like the current one. We are making it simpler and more organized. Thats why its possible some odds to be missing in the next 1-2 days until this update finishes. I am sorry for that, but its out of my hands

Need to improve this site for the older players that are losing their eye sight. Will have to use binoculars to see things on this site.

"You may select up to 1-4 games per week, but no more than 4 "

does that mean if you pick 0 in a week you are eliminated??

Trytrytry regarding your PM, your inbox is full and I can't reply you. When calling it should connect you directly to an available operator. If it doesn't, try extension 301. Or send me your phone via PM and I will arrange someone to call you whenever you want.

The Year-Long Contest is NFL Only.
It begins with regular season next week, as does the weekly contests.
As the rules state, the latest you can join in week 3.
You can post 0 plays in a week, but you must reach 60 minimum/maxinum games by the end of week 17.
Each & every play under 60 will count as a loss.

This is a direct link to our current MLB lines. It is all there now.

Texny, you need to be more specific. I personally view the site perfectly.

The black background makes it very difficult to see. The standard white background like everyone else uses plus adding larger font size aloing in black letters would make it easier to see. I cannot hardly see what it says under place a bet. Also I deposited $450 and the only received a $2 promo. Shouldn't I received a better promo than $2.

Texny thanks for the color suggestion. Regarding the $2 promo, everyone receives it with account opening. Its just a small gift. If you want a 30% bonus, when you deposit you need to input a bonus code. If you didn't, its normal that there is no bonus in your acc. If you want it, just send me a PM with your account username and I will credit your account with the bonus. Or call and talk to CS, they will do the same.
