There are big differences between Sportsbooks targeting the US market and European Bookmakers.
There are different ways that the sportsbooks will specify odds for an event. The American style odds are expressed in terms of a "-" for favourites and a "+" for underdogs.
If the line on the team that you want to bet on is "-140", that tells you that you must wager $140 dollars in order to win $100.
Most European bookmakers use the decimal odds system. The decimal odds for the favourite in the example above are 1.72. If you bet the same $140 at 1.72 and win, your payout will be $140 x 1.72 = $240, including the $140 wager.
Punters in the UK often prefer The Fraction odds system and many European Sportsbooks offer the option to choose between decimal or fraction odds.
Another reason for European players to choose a European Sportsbook is that you will have a better coverage of local events. The US Sportsbooks focus on the big American events like American Football, Basketball and Baseball. European bookmakers focus more on sports that interests the European punters like, European football, Ice hockey, Darts, Cricket and Rugby.
And it’s often a good thing to use a more local bookmaker. If something goes wrong it’s probably better to have the customer support closer. And if English is not your first language it’s of course a big advantage if the Sportsbook offers support and betting opportunities in your local language.
