The National Football League regular season starts this Sunday, so we thought it would be a good idea to showcase three sportsbooks that will take your gridiron bets.
Sports Interaction
Sports Interaction has all the moneyline and over/under bets for the NFL Week 1 action, which includes Tampa Bay at Dallas, the New York Giants at Denver, and Chicago at last year's Super Bowl champs Baltimore.
Punters can also find lines on most other sports, including baseball, basketball, horse racing, hockey, and snooker. You can even lay odds on whether Prince Charles will marry Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Bettors can get the latest scores and news on their favorite teams at SportsInteraction, and choose from either Las Vegas or European-style odds.
Sport Interaction is offering a 10% bonus on all deposits until September 10, so be sure to take advantage of that. Sport Interaction is the first online sports wagering site to be licensed in North America and accepts Visa, MasterCard, FirePay, and PayPal.
Canbet
Canbet is one of Australia's oldest and largest legal online sportsbooks. The site is government regulated, and offers Vegas and European odds. Punters can choose from a range of sports, including baseball, football, and soccer, and can check scores for all major sports for the past week.
Players can wager in U.S., Canadian, or Australian dollars, as well as Euros and pounds sterling. Betting limits are $10,000 on NFL sides and $2,000 on NFL totals. Canbet accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Neteller.
The Big Book
Punters can choose from all their favorite sports at The Big Book, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and even martial arts. There's a scrolling scoreboard that you can add to your desktop, and the latest handicapping information is available on the Links page.
The Big Book offers some great bonuses. Punters get 10% on a $100 deposit and up to 20% on $500. Big deposits of $5000 will net up to $1000 free. There's also a great referral bonus.
The Big Book even offers a no-download casino, in case you get tired of betting on the NFL.
