    2015 SBR Sportsbook Rating Guide: feedback please

    The 2015 Sportsbook Rating guide is designed to be an app for users' own criteria in addition to SBR's research. It will cover 20 different categories by end of month. We currently show sportsbook info such as countries accepted, bonuses and even bitcoin. What categories would you like to see featured?

    Spot an error? SBR will send you a thank you note signed by Pete Rose... or it could be from The Prick. One of the those people.

    I've met Charlir Hustle
    I'd rather have a JJ Gold condom autographed by the Prick.
    Pete was mean & thinking about the 7th at Aqueduct.
    The Prick is a pussy cat compared to Pete.
    Bet365.

    5dimes if your American.

    Nuff said.







    I like BetDSI

    If a site has poker and what network it is using would be useful I think.

    Probably not feasible to keep up to date but being able to search for the more obscure sports being offered like ITF tennis or Indycars would also be handy.

    If you click the headings at the top of each column it resorts by that column.

    Whatever is added it must be updated frequently. Without the updates it will be useless within a few months

    How would you grade the mobile apps? What would make a 1 star or 2 star app as opposed to a 4 star?

    "# of clcks to bet"
    Maybe we can record the number of clicks/taps for each book to get a bet in once logged in.

    Sportsbooks that offer MMA parlays has been added as rating guide filter option. We have confirmed 35 sportsbooks offer this.

    Currently you can go to it by choosing MORE FILTERS > BETTING OPTIONS > MMA PARLAYS

    My feedback is that there is no way that 5Dimes should be rated as highly as Bookmaker.
    5Dimes is afraid to take action from people who know that they are doing, Bookmaker is not.

    5Dimes has lost over a million to single players more than once. Its not winning or a good opinion that gets you looked at. Its betting book lines against eachother, not using your own opinion, often that's playing line moves. The majority of players dont bet this way and of course the majority of gamblers don't win at all, which is why they are in business.

    But as always your feedback is needed especially on the forum where more advanced players are. 5D is not the book for the RonPauls. Thats why we are adding all the other data. Its not just be about SBR ratings. SBR ratings will help a sharp player avoid getting stiffed at Sportsbook.com. After that they are looking at other things closer than we are.

    Are you referring to the categories being hidden or all of their options or both? We think tese filter search options could get longer than the rating guide itself. What if we show more categories and let you cjoose from there?

    You have a lot of good ones in there. I think some of those need to be right on SBRodds.

    There is a whole filter section on BTC. Have you seen it?

    Thanks!
