Do you use multiple platforms for betting?

[Solosanz]

No, I gamble on many casinos especially new casinos where I can take advantage over their free bet or other promotions. But when it comes to long term sportsbook, I still choose Duelbits because they have odds boost promotions, have many events to bet and the withdrawal fee is low.

We have similarities in sportsbooks, I also prefer to use duelbits for the long term, not because I am in their signature campaign but my assessment of sportsbooks is that duelbits is the most comfortable.

For new casinos and taking advantage of the promos, I'm not that hungry for that, plus I'm more selective and look at the rules of the promos, such as KYC which has to be done first to take part in the promos, which doesn't necessarily mean I can get the promos easily, or the terms and conditions. Another illogical requirement for a promo hunter regarding the potential for winning the promo.

(...)What are your thoughts on this? When you bet with crypto do you find it easier or harder to fund multiple accounts? Because I am getting a sense that crypto bettors are more compelled to shop around a lot more, but only until they find a bookmakers that fits their needs, and then they will hardly move any funds to other platforms. Surely thete must be some reasons behind this or even some very different takes. What are your thoughts? 

Since I am not a professional player, there are simply some platforms that I find convenient. I remember at the WC 2022 stage registering for several platforms, as I had experienced network congestion and inaccessibility, so being flexible with bets on multiple platforms would definitely be optimal for your needs if an incident occurs. Perhaps it's because of each person's usage behavior that it feels easy or difficult, but in my case, I like to use crypto and will always prioritize platforms that support crypto.

Experiencing network congestion will have to depend on which casino you chose to play on in the first place, and experiencing network congestion in an online casino is a sign of huge traffic on the casino server, which also means that the casino server isn't big enough to handle the traffic.

In such times, to avoid having such experiences, you can always choose big and reputable casinos, for example, all through the 2022 world cup, I was always betting on Stake, and never did I experience any lag or delay of any kind, in processing my bets or payout if I won.

There are also some other big and reputable crypto casinos all around the forum to chose from, just incase when one is looking for a stake alternative.

The strategy of funding accounts on multiple bookmakers is known to be used by people that want to catch the best odds when betting on sports for example. Sometimes people will monitor multiple platforms and bet when the odds allow then for a safe win. However, I am not sure if this strategy would be worth attempting when doing crypto-based betting on the sports books that offer it.

Having the best odds doesn’t guarantee you a safe win in contrary to what you said.

Well, it can in theory. But it doesn't happen very often. For example if you bet on a Basketball match early and get odds of 2.5 for team A to win, and then go on another bookie and find that team B's win has odds of 2.1, then in the worst case scenario you earn 10% if you made equal bets to each team. This is called betting arbitrage and is not easy to execute, it's an advanced strategy.

But it can be used in a less advanced manner too. For example if you bet 10$ on team A for a basketball match at odds of 2.5, and while the match is live team A gets a little ahead, then team B is going to have odds that are likely above 2 while the match is live, so you can bet on team B with 10$ also to secure a certain profit no matter who wins. Of course unless you can find odds above 2 on opposing bets and bet the same amount at the same time on the other side, the outcome isn't guaranteed. 

Betting with such strategies maybe kind of gets the thrill away though, but for some it might be fun to try and strategize for small but more secure profits too.

It depends on the situation because there are times that i'll be using altcoins and the withdrawal fee doesn't cost much so you can quickly withdraw your balance within a minute to make the switch. If i'm using BTC to place bets, then i'll most likely stick with the sportsbook because switching from one to another would cause me to lose more when the fees are significantly higher than altcoin fees. The difference in odds isn't always significant, but I recommend shopping for the best odds until it becomes a habit because it'll help later once you have a bigger bankroll.

[Slow death]

In my opinion what happens is the following: many people create many accounts because each casino offers different types and values of bonuses, for example while in casino , in another Y casino that same person with 10,000$ played he receives 150$ per month bonus and also the promotions vary in each casino, while in casino People who place a bet on the football game with a certain minimum amount can win a free bet. so when people have accounts at all reliable casinos and good casinos

It makes sure people don't miss out on bonuses that any good casino is giving. This also helps in situations where a person has a VIP account in a certain old casino and then they block his account, since that person also has accounts in many other casinos and he is a VIP in these other casinos so he does not lose the weekly and monthly bonus from his VIP account. These are the reasons in my opinion that make people choose to have accounts in many casinos. The problem with this is the fact that people will have to do KYC at all casinos where they have accounts. In my case, I'm not a fan of many accounts

[Broadanbig]

Possibly some gamblers do that with the thought to remedy their loss if it happens that way. I believe all casinos odds are not the same as they are slightly different from each other which means a more tedious task and process involved.  However, most gamblers switch casinos because of free bonuses which they would benefit from and as a matter of fact, if they win, they have nothing to lose as their win can remedy their losses from other casino platforms they had already bet on for the same game.

[danherbias07]

When it comes to sports betting there are different odds that are given on different gambling sites.
Let's say Stake.com versus Sportsbet.io. Sometimes Stake.com has larger odds than Sportsbet.io and I tell you, when you are betting at large amounts even the 0.01 - 0.1 difference will matter.
Then, there are the promos and features that both gambling sites that were mentioned have their differences.
Sportsbet.io has a boost feature that is being given every day if I am not mistaken, I don't know how much was given with VIP though, or if it depends on the rank.
Stake.com on the other hand could sometimes equal that even if it's boosted by the simple odds that they are giving.
So, that could be the reason why gamblers are jumping from one gambling site to another. The other thing I could think of is that they are feeling unlucky on one gambling site so they have to switch to a new one or something on their list where they have accounts too.

I understand what you are trying to imply here but this method will fall under arbitrage betting since you are using different sportsbook platform to take advantage on odds difference. Casinos has connections through the bookmaker record.

This is the number one reason why many user account got freeze due to arbitrage bets using multiple sportsbook. Any sure way of winning has an implication due to the casino ToS which gives them power to freeze your account if they observe that you are taking advantage.

[Yatsan]

Not advisable I guess. One reason is simply because it is never advisable to store your funds in gambling sites if you are aiming to find the best odds, simultaneously. Also, terms are changing to many gambling platfprms whoch could get your funds stuck if ever unexpected problems would take place. I think it would be much better to stick with one trusted platform and just increase your bet if you are aiming for a larger profit and if you’re that confident of your bet. I’d probably consider this if I am doing arbitrage gambling but in most instances, I doubt.

That's an interesting observation. I'm aware that traditional bookies that work with full KYC and don't accept crypto are pretty strict against arbitrage usually. But at least from what I remember betting on crypto-based bookies, the odds are more tightly controlled and in doing so there's kind of a more relaxed stance on these things. It's certainly a grey area though, and very few bookies will say publicly that they want players trying arbitrage strategies with them. But with more tight control on odds, I think any bookie could allow any strategy without losing money.

If I am not wrong sportsbooks don't allow multiple bets on the same games via different platforms and I think even I read something regarding in one of the casinos so anyone who is thorough about ToS can make me clear about whether is it allowed or not?

The strategy is called middling and its not allowed by most of the sportbookies.

I did back then and I tried to visit multiple platforms before even betting as there are some platforms who offer better odds compared to the most common gambling platforms out there as they use other bookmarker. However, I had stop to as I don't find it worthy of the hassle as it may provide better odds but not much. Also, there's a concern of multiple KYC on multiple platforms which back then wasn't much of an issue since you can gamble and withdraw without doing the verification but still even without this, I still think that it's not worth it to use multiple platforms.

[topbitcoin]

Indeed, there are some people who think that every casino platform they visit can provide big wins to their new visitors. So they think that changing gambling sites can give them big profits. But not with me alone, because what I am after in gambling is not profit but sensation and pleasure. And I also think that by changing gambling platforms this will only bring us closer to a loss, because this will only lead us to become one of the victims of cases of fraud in gambling carried out by several irresponsible casino platforms.

Another reason I only use one platform is because I already feel comfortable and safe when gambling on the platform I use, so why should I bother changing gambling platforms, after all I have found comfort, security and pleasure.

There is no guarantee that someone taking several chances on different platforms will result in a secure win. Some people may try to divide their bets on several platforms so as not to withdraw large funds on one account if they win or it could be that because using several platforms there are different bonuses so they try to play on several platforms. In the past I have been involved in this kind of lottery and usually I will buy on several platforms with the same numbers and whether that provides a safe guarantee of winning of course depends on the level of the platform where we bet.

Surely thete must be some reasons behind this or even some very different takes. What are your thoughts? 

The difficulty may be at the stage of depositing money on the site and if you use multiple accounts you will definitely have to fill it in when you want to bet, but this difficulty does not mean anything to gamblers because they do this every day. For me it is better to utilize two or three trusted sites for betting engagements because it is easier to deposit when you want to bet.

[rahmad2nd]

I didn't do it, the option you said can be used if the strategy has a fairly ideal ratio. It's just that, it's the same in fact, there's not much difference when it comes to betting. Maybe, you can use it for football options. for example, on account A you bet with the 1x2 or Under/Over option. In other casinos, to be safe, you can choose the handicap option with adjusted odds. but if it turns out to be a miss, then we will get a double defeat.
Moreover, you will be confused by the large number of accounts at several bookies. Sometimes something that you have conceptualized, for example you have planned in your bet, can change because the settings are not appropriate. or, any obstacles that make you unable to concentrate on the bet you are making. However, everything is fine as long as it doesn't violate the ToS. 

But for me personally, ideally just one or two accounts is more than enough. Let me take an example, when we don't get a good game during a gambling session and in the end we lose, we can try another casino account. Maybe our luck is in the other bookie's account. even so, it makes no difference to me anyway. Moreover, I am more dominant in sports. the point, as said by one of the members under your thread. In the end, there is only one that is our favorite. The reasons are varied, it could be because it is comfortable, safe, more efficient and easy to access and most importantly trustworthy.

[el kaka22]

I definitely do. The odds are not always same everywhere and it is not like everywhere has the same amount of results neither, not like "it's always better odds at this X place" type of thing, it is good for some sports here, and some sports there, some games here, some marketing stuff makes it better over there etc etc. So at the end you look at what game you want to bet on first, and then try to find the best odds anywhere you can play, and I have like 5-6 different places where I have an account and a little bit of money in them.

This means whenever I want to make a bet, I just look at each of them and see which one is giving me better odds and if I get the best result then I would be able to actually get a much better result.

One is enough and i do agree that having multiples would really be just causing some headache.Odds might differ but not really that much of your concern. It would really be giving out that minimal advantage but hassle you are making is something not really that worth. This is why i would really be just simply sticking into the bookie that i have been playing or betting for a while now.
Never intend to make use other platforms which considering that i have been having a pleasant experience and didnt have problems on the last 2 years of making up bets.
I dont mind about those advantageous approach because i do just simply love to bet and doesnt really go that much about technicality.

[goaldigger]

I’ve tried this before but it didn’t work most of the time so I decided to focus on one site and have the best betting decision instead of having multiple sites at the same time. Some gamblers might be thinking about a different luck while playing on a different site at the same time, I guess this is just their belief and the result will still depend on how you analyze before you place the bet.

[Roseline492]

For me I think there is know need having multiple betting account because they all have the same usage and the same way of betting, however thinking abou it, having multiple accounts is another way of exposing our private data and perhaps we may not know if the betting platform is well secured or not.

So for the safety of our data is mostly advised to maintain just one betting platform that you feel is okay for you. Although many people uses multiple betting platform because of one reason or the other, it could be that the feature they needed are not included on there current betting platform which makes them look for other platform that has it, so which ever way we should just be very careful.
