5 IMPORTANT PICES OF ADVICE WHEN PLACING MOBILE BETS
Mobile betting is no longer just an optional feature, but one of the most important ways of placing online bets. A few years ago placing bets using a mobile device wasn't something common, nowadays it's something almost mandatory. There's more and more online bookmakers with a mobile site, especially since many bookies report to have a higher revenue from mobile bets than from desktop bets.
Since mobile betting is becoming a relevant way of placing online bets, it's useful to know about it. In the following lines we'll present 5 important pieces of advice when placing mobile bets:
1. Focus on pre-match markets and in-play single bets. Even if you use the services of some of the best mobile sites, such as Bet365 or William Hill, you need to know that placing live bets and especially combos/system bets on your smartphone is not something easy. If you are used to placing in-play combo bets with over 4 selections, it will become really frustrating when you'll find out that it's difficult to get your bets accepted. Therefore, the best option is to leave the in-play system/combo bets with many selections for when you're at home and you can use a desktop pc or a notebook.
2. Don't place big amounts from your bankroll. Unfortunately, not all mobile sites have the option of funding your account. Also, those who accept mobile deposits may not have the main payment method you use to fund the betting account. In these cases, having low funds can be a show stopper if you are used to placing big stakes on a mobile. Therefore, an option is to place low stakes from mobile or to fund your account with a greater balance.
3. Be careful with the live scores and odds of in-play events. Placing mobile bets has many advantages, but also disadvantages. While using a computer gives you better options to carefully compare odds or confirm the correct score of an in-play event, when using a smartphone things get more complicated and you tend to avoid checking. Therefore, if you have even a small suspicion that some odds/scores can be wrong, it's better to avoid placing bets.
4. Avoid placing mobile bets if you're a beginner. Most of the mobile sites don't have any kind of instant contact option (live chat) or help section, so if it happens to you and you don't know what a bet means or how to use an option, in this case it's better to be properly informed and get more experience with betting before using the mobile site continuously.
5. Place mobile bets only when you're paying attention. Many people lose money because they are not certain on what to bet and they start browsing within the pre-match and mobile in-play offer to find an event/market to bet on. If you don't focus on the event you want to bet, it can happen you bet on a different event or a different market. Trying to bet using a mobile device while walking combined with odds movements and markets closure can have a negative impact on your bankroll, so it's better to avoid such kinds of situations.
We hope that this advice will help you improve your mobile betting experience.
