Advantages: Shows potential winnings, Has Fantisy leagues, Good odds

Disadvantages: Very slow, Not as big selection as william hill, Would not reccomend to more experienced gamblers

I would not say that I am a true gambler, but I have been using Ladbrokes.com since about the beginning of March, and have found that it is quite a poor website from a large national or multinational comapny.

At the moment if you join, you get £20 towards your first bet with them but you have to put a deposit of an equal amount first and the transaction must go through before you are entiltled to it.

*The web site*

I have found the web site to be very slow throughout the logging in, changing of pages, checking past bets whether settled or unsettled, and basically every thing else.

The odds are quite good for the same bet in comparrison to other web sites. As the site is slow, by the time you have placed a bet which is live, the odds have often changed, sometimes for the better.

*Types and placing of bets*

The bets that are placed can range through all sports, the general election, does the Loch Ness Monster live or existed, Christmas No. 1, and a whole lot more bets.

Once you have decided what bet to place, you click on bet and it brings up another screen, which then you confirm your selection and the amount to be tendered. After confirming that, Ladbrokes show you your potential winnings on each bets that you place.


*Fantisy Football and Cricket*

There is also a fantisy football and cricket on the web site with a whole lot of money to be won if you become first place e.g £25,000 plus then runner up prizes of £100 and £50. Well worth doing!

*Casino*

Not yet used the online casino.

*Types of payment*

The only thing is that you can spend a lot of money and that the transactions must go through on some form of credit card or debit card.

One of the reasons could be that Ladbrokes offer a choice of bets like an Accululater, Lucky 31, trebbiles, etc with the minimum bets from being only 10 pence on some, other bets could be as low as 50
pence per bet. This could be due to placing a bet for doubles and you could have 15 selections. If you bet £1 per selection then overall you are paying quite a bit of money. One of the advantages is that the bets you place are tax free on all bets placed and on winnings.

*Ease of use*

The ease of use is very easy and straight forward, but this is probably helped due to a slow site. The website is clear and is easy to place any bet on the screen. You are only limited to the bets that Labrokes offer at the time, so if you want to place any other bet then you have to go into the high street shop.

I would reccommend this web site purely due to the better odds on bets placed, but the bets are often limited to this country only with few international betting.
