Advantages: Good range of services, Good odds on bets, updates your acount very quick

Disadvantages: Limited to bets e.g. not vast ranging commpared to high street bookmakers.

For those that usually read my ops, I would like to say this is no where near as long as they tend to be.

I would not say that I am a gambler and that I am addicted to it but I like the odd flutter every now and then. I have been using willhill.com since about the beginning of March. I have found the web site to be quite speedy compared to other gambing sites around especially in the placing of bets and the changing of pages. The site itself though can be quite slow especially if you want to check your past bets whether they are settled or unsettled. But I think this also reflect if you have made a vast amount of bets or not.

William Hill offer numerious services like;

radio,
free tips on placing bets,
general betting,
casino and
phone betting.

The above are explained in more detail below.

*Radio*

I have not yet tryed this service, but I presume that it is there own radio station.

*Free tips*

I have used this a couple of times and personnally I think you should make your own decisions. So far, I have not won anything from the free tip service.

*Placing general bets*

The odds are often better than any other betting web site, but this is probably due to the size of William Hill and the vast range of bets that can be placed. The bets that can be 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. When placing bets, willhill.com offers a different service compared to other betting services and that is once a bet goes through and you have insufficient money in your account, willhill.com automatically deduct it out of your debit or credit card. Unlike ladbrookes.com, you have a minimum £10 deposit in your account whilst willhill.com can be matter of pence. The only thing with this is that you can spend a lot more money.

One of the other reasons could be t
hat William Hill offer a choice of bets like an Accululater, Lucky 31, trebles, 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 the the amount of winngs on offer are sometime higher than competitors.

*Casino*

There is also an online casino, but personally I would not reccomend it. This basically because I have had problems with transactions and the site can be slow. The Casino has often froze durring the odd game resulting in the game being terminated and then having to re-log into the system. I also found that when downloading games, my computer memory was messed up resulting in some programmes failing to work. This however could be that my computer cannot handle this type of programme or it could be an error in the download. If you wish to join at the moment, you get £20 towards your first time casino gambing when you place a deposit of £20 into the system.

*Phone betting*

This is very easy to set up on your phone and can be done from any phone. I have set this up with my mobile and if I wish to place a bet, all I have to do is phone william hill and put in a pin number and the amount I wish to bet on a certain area and then hang up. It is as simple as that. the credit or debit card though is the same one as the one used for the general online betting. At the moment if you join phone betting, they will give you a free £5 bet. This is more usefull for the more addicted gambler rather than the novice or social gambler.

*The site itself*

I find that william hill update their web site quite frequently in the odds, any new bets, live bets, etc. I have been pleased with how quick winnings have been plac
ed into my acount.

Overal, the ease of use is very easy and straight forward. The website is clear and is easy to place any bet on the screen. You are only limited to the bets that willhill.com offer at the time, so if you want to place any other bet then you have to go into the high street shop. The range of bets that can be placed are international so more bets and potential winngs are greater.

If you join willhill.com through ipoints, then you will find that the choice and selection of bets are severly reduced by at least half, but the service offered are the same.

I would reccommend this web site purely due to the better odds on bets placed, the ease of use. The only disadvantage is that william hill do not show your potential winnings per bet like ladbrookes.com offer.
