BetEd is one of the best online sportsbooks when it comes to catering to the casual bettor. They are far and away not the sportsbook for the sharp bettor. Whether you like early lines or low juices, you should try a sportsbook such as BetOnline or 5Dimes, as that is not how BetEd is setup. However, what they do offer is a decent variety of games, a good bonus structure an excellent website layout and an overall good experience.

What's more, when it comes to criticizing BetEd main complaint from casual bettors is that they enforce their rules too strictly. Now for most bettors this is to be expected, but when a casual bettor attempts to plead ignorance, they will have a difficult time getting anywhere not only with BetEd but with any sportsbook.

When it comes to customer service, the agents at BetEd are some of the best in the industry as they have a wealth of experience and can speak multiple languages. What's more, they operate on an online only basis. So when their site crashed in 2009, during a server change, this caused a lot of outcry from the public. Nevertheless, in the seven years BetEd has been around they've provided casual bettors with a gambling home second to none.

As we hinted to earlier, two of the biggest appeals to BetEd are that of their website layout and bonus structure. Firstly, the great thing about joining a young sportsbook is that their website will almost always be very modern looking. Too many sportsbooks online still remain in the dinosaur age, using geocities and similar hard ware. BetEd home page is very cool in that it has everything you want right in the obvious places, as you won't have to search around at all.

On the other hand, the bonus structure is also a strong suit, as one of the biggest attractions for casual bettors are high bonuses. Bonuses vary from a 15 percent welcoming bonus to a 50 percent cash bonus after your first winning wager.
