SKY Bet Online
Get the lowdown on the online sports betting company SKY Bet, who have a huge range of betting markets available for every sport imaginable.
With so many online sports betting companies available now, it can sometimes be difficult to know which one to choose. One of the best known and user friendly of these is SKY Bet, the sports betting subsidiary of BSkyB. Let's examine a few of the features available that make SKY Bet a must for anyone who likes a punt on sport.
Like most sports betting companies, horse racing and football betting are the largest betting markets available at SKY Bet. However, every sports taste is catered for at SKY Bet, and they offer a number of markets that are not available with other bookmakers. This includes a large range of live in-play markets, which mean that you don’t have to fret if you miss the start of the event that you wish to bet on. Minimum bets are 5p and maximum bet per selection is determined by Sky Bet.
One of the great features available at SKY Bet is the Sky Bet Player. With this service, all registered customers can watch over 2,400 live sporting events from around the globe on their PC or Mac. These sports include European football (Serie A, Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup), tennis, cricket, golf and horse racing. Most of these sports are free to watch and do not require a minimum bet to watch them.
You can now also bet wherever and whenever you like with SKY Bet's new sports betting WAP service. With Sky Bet mobile you'll get all the latest prices at your fingertips and you can also browse their highly competitive range of in-play markets.
SKY Bet is also a Fairplay Bookmaker, distinguishing it from many of its online sports betting competitors. This means that if an unforeseen event happens that adversely effects your bet, SKY Bet will refund you your bet. For example, if in football betting you bet on a player to score the first goal, but he is substituted in the 1st half when the score is 0-0, then you are redeemed your stake as a free bet. Now you can’t say fairer than that.

Visit Website
Sky Bet are offering over thirty pre-match Australian Open betting markets ahead of Andy Murray's quarter-final clash with Rafa Nadal. Special bets include 15/8 for Tuesday's match to go to five sets and it's 5/6 for there to be forty games or more.
Sky Bet make the British number one narrow 4/5 favourite to beat the world number two (21/20). Murray is the only man yet to drop a set in four matches in Melbourne and Sky Bet offer 4/1 that he records as straight sets victory over the Spaniard.
Despite his comfortable progress to the quarter-finals, Murray's erratic first service percentage has caused some consternation. Sky Bet go 4/7 that he commits more double faults than Nadal (5/4).
Sky Bet's tennis betting expert Stephen Parkes said: "This is so far the profile match of the tournament and at the moment Murray is just winning the battle for favouritism. All signs point to a close, long match but in the big match atmosphere anything could happen."
