betting online is much better and more fun than the traditional way of doing it.number one there are not all those slips of paper taking up space in your wallet or pocket.number two is that if the weather is bad and the terminal is down in your state you can still bet online.if your car breaks down or you don't feel good instead of making a trip to the store you can do it online.thats just some of the reasons there.another reason is the payouts are way better online and the bets are cheaper and low as a quarter and a quarter bet pays what a 50 cent bet would normally pay in state.there are other advantages that are good for you and your wallet because you get to keep it all!
