BetUS Review

BetUS is a sportsbook licensed in Costa Rica and Canada. It was established in 1994 and has run successfully for the past 15 years. It is one of the older online bookies, has a wealth of experience and has built a good reputation within the sector. They remain one of the most trusted sportsbooks in the industry. Their lines are featered on AOL, Yahoo Sports and MSNBC, just to name a few.

BetUS Website/Software

BetUS is fairly easy to sign up to, a few clicks and forms to fill out and you’re on your way. One username/password and you can access a range of goodies from the sportsbook, casino and poker room all using this one account.

There is a wide range of sports to place bets on including, but not limited to American Football, Basketball, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Soccer, Tennis and Golf. There are also some less popular fringe sports available also.

There are 3 deposit options open to US clients. Credit Card, MoneyGram and Western Union all have a $50 minimum deposit. You can deposit online or over the phone.

The top bar has tabs for “My Account’ where you can find deposit methods, account balance, pending wagers and account summary. It also has a promotion section so you don’t miss out on the 50% first deposit bonus.

Below this is a bar for the different sections of the site, including sportsbook, poker and casino. The color combinations the site has used look clean and the site has a nice balance.

Once you’ve selected ‘sportsbook’ and one or multiple sports from the left hand side menu, you can select which leagues or events you wish. Then you press ‘show selected’ to take you to the actual betting slip. Once here you can pick your ‘moneyline/point spread/total/team total’and select whether you wish to place a straight bet or something more exotic from the betting slip on the right.

Once you’ve done this all that’s left is to name your stake and hope you picked the winner!

BetUS Sports Offered

BetUS Variety of Wagers

BetUS offers the following type of bets: Single Bet

A single or straight bet is a wager on the outcome of a single event or game. Depending on the type of line you select, winning the bet is determined by the outright winner, the point spread, or the combined scores of both teams involved in the event.

Multi-single Bet

The same as a single bet, bettors can place up to 20 different single bets at the same time.

Parlay

A parlay, or combo bet, is a selection of two to twelve wagers that are linked together. Winning the bet is dependent on all of the wagers winning. If even one of the wagers loses, the entire parlay loses. Adding more wagers, or teams, to your parlay increases your potential payout. With more risk, there's also more reward.

Cross-sport Parlay

The same rules as a typical parlay bet using wagers from different sports.

Teaser

A teaser is a combination of two to ten football or basketball wagers in which you adjust the point spreads and/or totals in your favor in exchange for a lower payout. When your teaser includes a point spread, you can decrease the spread for the favorite or, conversely, increase the spread for the underdog. When it includes a total, you can increase the "under" or decrease the "over." Like a parlay, winning the bet is dependent on all of the wagers winning.

Sweetheart Teaser

A sweetheart teaser is a special teaser that combines either three or four football or basketball wagers.

Cross-sport Teaser

When you combine football and basketball lines in the same teaser, the number of points that you adjust point spreads and/or totals by must remain in the same category.

If Bet

Like a parlay, an 'if' bet links together two straight bets. However, instead of winning the bet being dependent on both of the bets winning, progressing of the second bet is dependent on the first bet winning. If the first bet wins, the second bet is placed. If the first bet loses, the second bet isn't placed. With this type of bet you can increase your betting power while limiting your risk.

Reverse

When you place a reverse bet, two "Action" 'if' bets are placed for you - one in the original order and the other in reverse order.

Round Robin

A round robin is a convenient way to create multiple parlays at one time. You can select between three and eight lines and then combine them in parlays of two to six teams. The advantage is that generally you need to hit on only one winning combination to make your money back for the entire round robin.

‘Freeplay’ is bonus money that you can use to bet on straight bets, two, three or four team special teasers and any line between +140 and -200. The sports included are football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf and tennis majors, and soccer. Basically, when you win your freeplay bets, you get to keep the winnings from those bets and the bonus disappears after you’ve used it.

Rollover is a required amount of cash action on certain bets that you must risk in the sportsbook before you can take a payout. The bets that count towards rollover are full game, cash bets on sports bets. This includes football, basketball, hockey, golf and tennis majors, soccer and baseball. As per industry standard, all bets on baseball are counted as half action towards the rollover.

Simply add your deposit and bonus totals together, and multiply that total by the related rollover. That gives you the amount of cash action you have to risk in the sportsbook before you take a payout.
