Online Gambling with Sports.com

If there is one thing on the market has, it's the best and easiest to remember URL on the internet, right up there with sex.com and yourethemannowdog.com, two sites I frequent whenever I want to feel better about myself. After all, nothing makes you feel better than Sean Connery telling you you're the man. Dog.

The Sports.com Look

is a little messy with ads and contest promotions everywhere. From far away it actually looks like a giant pop up ad. also features plenty of free contests and casino poker. They also seem to show different levels of excitement for each of its contests or wager options. For example, the $10,000 free contest has no exclamation point and thereby little enthusiasm, whereas the "Bet Horses Now!!!" ad has a whopping three exclamation points! Wow!!! I better bet horses now while the going is good!!!

Sports.com Registration

However, once you get past the logging in, the site is fairly easy to navigate. Of course, there's still a glaring ad to, what a surprise, bet on horses, but other than that it seems they allow you to bet in peace.

Wager on The Free Contests!!!

The first of 's contests that catches your eye immediately is the one with girls and bikinis. The other contests? Not so catchy.

Betting and Bonuses

Standard betting options apply here, with the extras being if bets, progressive parlays and fifteen team teasers. You can also buy points and take advantage of props and futures. As far as the bonuses go, you get 10% upon signup, 10% for referrals, half price on Fridays and chocolate sundaes if you go to the ice cream store and pay for them.

Sports.com Customer Service for Your Internet Gambling

If you go to the "Help Center," you see a picture of a customer care representative talking on her cell phone when she should be helping you! And the live help girl is giving me one of those "Hello, stranger" looks. This does not help my opinion of their customer service at all, coupled with the fact that the message boards are hardly kind to the people at and their supposed lousy service.

About Sports.com Online Gambling

is part of the SportingBet family, one of those UK internet gaming companies that are traded on the London Stock Exchange. As of the end of 2004, it was priced around $180, which is astounding considering the stock crashed to about $17 a share two years ago. Which once again makes me yearn for a time machine. Then I'd have enough money to bet on horses!!!
