Betting alternative to sports bookers

Hi,

Do you think tipping the finishers when watching a tournament adds fun and excitement?

Especially if you do it amongst friends?


Do you also feel betting at sports booker is no fun but only gamble ?

Is there any alternative to sports bookers which brings back the fun element?

I'm betting this post is 100% spam.

Who needs a broker, should we start an over and under on how long it takes before he hits the bunker.

I like betting, moreso playing than watching.

On the other hand, betting on spammers is fun too.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments which show me already what the issue is.

A lot of people read bet and think of Spam, Scam and all other sorts of negative images.

So why do you all feel so bad when you read bet?


This is not spam! I don't promote anything nor do I want to get traffic to my site. There is not even a link here or in my profile.

I just try to figure out why golf betting has such a shady image even though it should be plain fun tipping the outcome of a tournament.

Indeed I'm in the process to launch a fun and free alternative to sports bookers.

Free means indeed free with no strings attached. no gambling no money changing hands. Just sponsored prizes to win.

I don't look to spam here or promote.
Just like to get opionions about the topic.

So thank you very much indeed

This sound like a contradiction, if this is not spam, then why should we even assume you have a site? We know why there is no link, you are still working on the 15 post limit, which while I may be wrong, I would take the "Under" on if it will be reached. Any takers outside of Sling, or a moderator, or someone they placed some sort of side bet with?
