BetGameDay Wager Tools

, like all interfaces that are part of the VIP conglomerate, is organized in a certain fashion, with a series of drop down menus and customizable options. chooses to be a little sleeker with their logo and look, although still uses an unknown player in their advertising. Apparently, this unknown man plays for the Spurs, and looks like a cross between Scottie Pippen and the lead singer of Toni Tony Tone.

BetGameDay Bet on the Next Game

If you need action right away, nothing works better than the quick sixty minute drop down link, which pops up every game going on in the next hour. Because sometimes you just don’t want to wait four or five hours for a bet. Four or five hours isn’t a long time, you say? I beg to differ. For a compulsive gambler, four or five hours can seem like months.

BetGameDay Risk and Win

Bet either to win or risk, a useful tool when dealing the money lines. Sure beats entering in random numbers until you get the desired effect. Which I’ve done before, and, believe me, you can never get the cents to even out the way you want to.

BetGameDay Betting Account Preferences

To my delight, you can alter your web browsing preferences to fit your specific betting nature and geographical background. Tired of seeing times in EST? Change your settings to west coast format. Here are some other helpful tools:
Use SSL Encryption – I hate to be a paranoid psychopath, but the default for this is “no”.
My Favorite League – The XFL is listed. That’s my favorite league, hands down. The WNBA is a close second
Time Zone – Why didn’t anyone think of this before? It’s brilliant. For one, I am tired of looking at a game line and trying to figure out when 22:00 is. I wonder if this came from the suggestion box.
Date Format – Did you realize that outside of United States, people list the day before the month? So instead of mm-dd-yy, you have dd-mm-yy. It’s a ridiculous concept that my ignorant mind refuses to accept.
My Favorite Teams – Pick your favorite team in the whole world here. I believe lines will be thrown in your face whenever this team is playing, as a way to encourage betting with your heart and not your head. Therefore I listed my favorite team as the Nashville Kats of the Arena Football League, to avoid any irrational thinking.

BetGameDay Wagering Navigational Tools

On the other hand, the actual sports betting navigation is a little confusing. You have drop down menus on top for sports and sport types which bring up all the lines for that particular sport. Then you have two separate drop down menus for parlays and props, which take you to separate screens altogether. Although tries their best to allow you to parlay and bet on every possible angle, as far as the navigation goes it simply is just too jumbled. What good is organizing your wagering section if you can’t change the interface that’s at the heart of the problem?
