    If you could choose any book which would you?

    I can choose any book available. I reside in Europe, however, since I am American I go over a lot throughout the year. I hate how you can't bet online with european books when over in the States. Anyway, if you could choose any book which would it be and why?

    And if I am planning on joining a book, should I wait until NFL playoffs to sign up and receive one of the big promotions?

    I would do a two book set up with Pinnacle and Bet365. Pinnacle has great prices and a much easier website. Bet365 has a gazillion offers and live betting on what seems like every event. I like the cs at 365. Nothing ever goes wrong at Pinny so not much cs needed. But I would only give Pinny average marks there.

    Pinnacle does not give bonus except through the SBR Pro program. Bet365, I don't know.

    Depends what type of player you are

    Bet365 useless for big players but for majority would be your 1st out

    Pinnacle and Matchbook are neck and neck

    Betfair for live betting on Tennis, Horses and Soccer ...there is zero competition


    Ladbrokes
    William Hill

    excellent choices

    asian soccer handicap bettors I would say SBOBET

    I was thinking about using Bet 365 as they currently have a 100% bonus. Is this the best promotion you can get, or will there be better promotions come playoffs and super bowl time? I also really like how when you withdraw they will deposit the money into your DC account at no extra cost. Also with the sbr promotion I'll be able to become a pro.

    Now for the States, I was thinking of 5dimes or Bovada

    I'm running a pinnacle/365 setup never had a problem but 365 payouts are much faster. (DC in 12 hours) wired

    I have accounts at more than 10 sportsbooks. But everything pales in comparison to Pinnacle, 365 and SBOBet.

    Pinny for it's combination of supreme odds, limits and trustworthiness.

    365 for it's plethora of live betting options and interface which is to date still the best in the market.

    SBOBet for the exotic soccer league punters. Great odds too, just stay away from their credit accounts cos they'll break u.

    William Hill and Ladbrokes are similar to bet365 in a lot of ways especially safety

    It really depends on what bet amounts and what type of sports you bet

    Too broad of a question

    Need more parameters

    Bonuses are a way for books to suck you in and give them an excuse to hold your money longer. I personally stay away from them. With that being said Pinnacle is the obvious choice here. betting -10 - -16 cent lines instead of laying the usual -110 is a no brainer and actually makes it possible to grind a profit over the longterm.

    Pinnacle (best book hands down)

    SBO

    bet365 (best live betting around) (if you're a winner you need lots of friends...)

    marathonbet (if you're a winner you need even more friends)

    Plus the Pinny interface is just soo easy. B365 takes some getting used to. But if you are going to bet say the boxing match tonight; if you want to bet Pacquiao to win by KO, DQ(like I do) you can go straight to Pinny lay the current -151 and be done with it. If you want to watch the 1st round and either press up or hedge out you need B365. For a third option it would have to be 5Dimes.

    my kashmobet experience

    Hi Guys! I would like to tell about my experience playing in Kashmobet. I have active accounts with them as I have several accounts open for different sportsbooks from small to the most popular ones. I played for some of my extra cash for about 75€. When I registered to them from some of an affiliates forum with direct links to them, honestly, the layout is quite fine with some sports picture slides on it. I never heard about this bookmaker but I made a try. Here are some of my checklist and ratings (1 to 10, 10 is the highest) with descriptions so that you can have it as guidelines whenever you tried them out pals;
    1. Registration: fast ; with basic email confirmation procedure just like other sportsbooks out there. rating: 9
    2. Age Verification; what's this? usually some of my sportsbook accounts don't have this - but maybe their way to check thoroughly on the minor age players. my rating: 7
    3. Deposit: Hmmm... a little bit quick but needs to contact with their chat support. my rating: 8
    3. Bonus reloads: honestly, I cant find this to other sportsbooks except with my account with wagerweb. popular sportsbooks only have 1 time welcome bonus = 100%. in kashmobet, they have 3, 100%, 75% and 50%, with max of 100$,150$ and 250$ respectively. deserving to have this rating: 10
    4. Odss. wow! I am very much amazed of how generous they are. 1.4% margins on some markets? are you serious? anyway, they are generous but limiting is not that good. I won 100 USD bt on odds of 2.14 on copa del rey and now limited to just 50, but good thing is after accepting my desired betselection, I can bet again and can accumulate my desired amount on it. my Odds and margin rating: 8
    5. customer service; sometimes offline that makes me sick.. but when I talked to one of their rep, again it's a wow! they are polite enough to entertain their players. and there is no limit on the time they spend talking and talking with you until they resolve the issue. my rating: 10
    6. site appearance: language translation: check, european layout: check, and check on this guys they also have it on asian view: it looks like SBOBet! I have account wth SBO and it's quite funny to have almost the same layout with kashmobet. user friendly frontend: check. my ratings: 9
    7. markets available. they have lots of pre mach games in different sports but I think they dont have that much in live games. when I ask them via chat on why they dont have that huge offering in live matches, they told me that upon completion of their sports odds integration, they will have huge number of live. Well, let's see. my rating: 7
    8. Payout/ withdrawal. I use my moneybooker account with my email address the same with what I used to send them my deposit. They have on their terms that payout might be 24 to 72 hrs. but I was amazed to have my winnings €452.15 transferred to my mb account instantly, after some verification of documents I sent within the day. Less than 24 hrs transaction vs my other sportsbook accounts? hmmmm, I understand now why they ask me to send an ID for age verification at first; to make the withdrawal faster in the end... I can trust them now.. my ratings: 9
    9. I tried the 2nd deposit bonus after payout of €452. with deposit of 140€ to avail their 75% 2nd deposit bonus. Presto! I got it right away! this time without contacting the CS - I am wondering if they have it now automatically. LOL! I receive €108 from my deposit. reload bonus: my rating: 10

    I am still playing with them together with my other accounts. Now 9 all in all 4 populars 5 smalls. The good thing with having different accounts in different sportsbooks is that I can arb, I can compare and buy reversely to others and win it surely. Small and start up bookmakers are good counterparts of huge and popular sportsbooks wherein they have high end software to detect arbitrages etc.
    You can take my advice or you can leave it hang. I just want to send signals to all of you here guys. I am a professional gambler both casino and sportsbook. When you gamble and you find a new target, hit them LOL!

    For me 138.com is good

    They have the site for uk and chinese players.

    currency is only gbp but deposit options are for *********** skrill / moneybookers and neteller.

    Withdrawal is with the same method used to deposit and they require verification right after your first transaction.

    They have this 50% freebet up to 50 pounds for sportsbook

    they have this 138% up to 988 pounds for casino

    Its a great experience playing with their website

    although the currency is limited to gbp

    their license is with iom gambling commission
