FairDeal Sportsbook
FairDeal Sportsbook - Getting a FairDeal
FairDeal seems to pimp itself as the Robin Hood of internet gambling,
with its links to charity, generous bonuses, and used car salesman like URL.
Which begs the question, who are they trying to fool? Or perhaps they really are
giving us a fair deal. I don’t know what to believe. Does Barry Greenstein
really give all his money to charity? Is Bono really half a saint, or just a
brilliant marketer? In any case, FairDeal passes the bar as a good site
with decent promotions and hearty goodwill.
FairDeal Sportsbook - The Look and Navigation
The first thing that captures the eye is the fact that FairDeal has a
Red Cross donation link on the front of their website. Not only do they call the
site FairDeal, they are pushing charity to help the disadvantaged. The
navigation is a little confusing if you’re a new bettor. You first have to use a
drop down menu to pick the sport, then by doing so it brings all the possible
ways to lay action on every game. Despite the mess that ensues, for the more
experienced wagerer, there are a lot more options. By listing all the betting
possibilities on one board, you can parlay the first quarter of the
49ers/Patriots game with the first half and game odds of the Giants/Cowboys
game.
FairDeal Sportsbook - Deposit/Withdrawals
FairDeal Deposit and withdrawal options include the following:
Credit cards, bank wires, NETeller, FirePay, NETeller Instacash, Instant Check,
Moneybookers, and cold hard cash. For all of you credit card junkies, you will
be happy to note that FairDeal eats the fees. You will be unhappy to
note, however, that any credit card deposit will need to be accompanied by a
credit card authorization form verifying the charges are legit. In other words,
not so good news after all. However, if you employ one of the third party cash
middle men, you will be able to make your transactions smoothly. You will also
make these middle men a lot of money, for providing what basically comes down to
taking your money and handing it to your next door neighbor, who you owe money.
FairDeal Sportsbook - Betting Types
With the exception of being able to do some imaginative parlays, there really
isn’t much to FairDeal’s wagering options. FairDeal has if bets,
props, and futures, but so do most other sites. Like a woman would say if I wore
briefs, “It doesn’t leave much to the imagination.”
FairDeal Sportsbook - Rating
I give FairDeal sportsbook a whopping five star Bono rating, for its
fair deals and endless charity. Seriously, that Bono guy is everywhere, making
records, saving lives, and rescuing children from burning buildings. And it’s
very peculiar to find a sportsbook posting a charity ad on its front page, and
thus there is no other choice. The other parallel being U2 has been a steady
rock group for thirty centuries, and that’s what I see in FairDeal; a
steady, decent sportsbook to place your wagers with.
Fair Deal provides excellent customer service (May 16, 2005) 
When I called them, I was extremely impressed with how helpful the Fair Deal representative was.
