    I don't know about MMA offerings. And I am not sure any of the posters above know either, so I have linked this thread to the MMA sub forum and hopefully some of the guys there can tell you who they use.

    You can also find a list of 125 US facing books SBR has rated here: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/spor...accepted:82=on

    I can tell you without a doubt that 5Dimes is the best sportsbook for MMA (non-live). They have a lot of props, where as most books have few or none. For live betting, try Bookmaker.

    Definitely 5dimes & Bookmaker. If he wants 3 accounts then Bovada could be a third.

    This book doesn't have ANY MMA lines currently listed, and I would be surprised if they list any on fight night. They have the least number of available bets of any book I've ever seen, with the lowest limits.

    Edit by SBR: Yes, they do offer MMA and have the lines listed.

    5Dimes is the best US-facing book for MMA, because it carries the widest array of props and has the lowest juice (on fight night). It also offers live betting, though it's pretty basic.

    Pinnacle has lower juice lines than 5Dimes up until fight night approaches, and offer better lines quite often mid-week, but they offer no props, just totals. They also won't limit you.

    Bookmaker offers really good live betting; the best for the US, as far as I'm aware, though their software has been pretty bad recently. Could just be me.

    Ideally, you'd deposit to all of these books, and more. None of the smaller books could possibly beat 5Dimes if you had to choose between them, but you'll find stale and off-market lines on smaller books far more regularly. If you have to choose one, you get more lines at 5Dimes, for more events, with less juice on fight day than any book if you take reduced juice, with more props than any other books, and they offer you live betting. On top of that, withdrawals are very quick, and they're as reputable as bookmakers get. Every book has horror stories, but any knowledgeable SBR member will agree that there are few, if any, safer places to have your money in the gambling world than 5Dimes.

    My MMA section brethren, please nominate my post incase people take these "1 V I C E" suggestions seriously. Thanks.

    I wrote my post before seeing yours, and I had previously googled 1 V I C E and thought that I had stumbled upon a troll thread.

    Online Sportsbook AmericasBookie accused of poaching players
    By: SBR | Monday, June 9, 2014

    1Vice Sportsbook (SBR rating D+) forwarded marketing email to Sportsbook Review showing that their former host was not only marketing to its player base but also mentioning the players current sportsbook by name.
    During a recent 1Vice Sportsbook review by SBR, it was confirmed that 1Vice left the RDG Corp group at the start of this year on January 2, 2014. It was noted that 1Vice was said to have outdrawn the resources provided by RDG Corp but that the split was otherwise amicable in nature. The 1Vice manager forwarded email to SBR showing that an employee of AmericasBookie (SBR rating D+) of the RDG Corp family contacted a player making the direct pitch, using the 1Vice name in an attempt to solicit a deposit from the player. A redacted version of this email is visible in the full report of this article.


    It is not uncommon for sportsbooks to market to other businesses customers, but is considered a breach of etiquette to name the other sportsbook inside of these emails or suggest by proxy that the player information has been passed on. SBR urges players to do their homework before accepting a marketing email at face value; often, the veracity of unsolicited mailers can questionable.


    Marketing email received by 1Vice player from AmericasBookie:


    Hi {name edited}. this is your new account from Americasbookie.com
    USERNAME: {edited}
    PASSWORD: {edited}
    You used our 1Vice sister web site but you are more then welcome to come on board. (We can) offer you 150% 12xroll free play min $500 deposit give me a call {edited contact details}.
    Seems to have worked!

    Hi NunyaBidness,

    They actually do offer MMA. There are markets available for Aug 16, 17, 23, and 30. If you log in, simply navigate under Mixed Martial arts to find them.

    Mine lists no MMA lines, almost no lines whatsoever.

    The big board lists available lines for pretty much every available sport, but I get "There are no games available" for every single division except major US sports, and a few futures. No golf matchups, no nfl futures, no boxing, no MMA, no tennis matchups, nothing.

    Mine just keeps asking me if I'm willing to "take a chance" with some hot young single men.

    Am I doing something wrong? Could it be because I put Gabe as my referrer?

    Google isn't serving up sportsbooks based on my browser history, is it?

    I'm inviting you to join Kushmoney Sportsbook. We offer increased juice lines on every game (pk would be -250/-250), but whatever you withdraw, we'll give you an additional 20% of your money back, for free*!

    It's an EU domain so that tells me it's not an American Bookie joint though.. As long as they send me a check that will cash here in America I won't have a problem with them..

    Bovada has MMA props but nothing like 5D's also... 5D's covers more events then Bovada too..

    You can't use "hence" like that, JIBBBY. It has to refer to something that you actually said.

    And you're still a better sports writer than Ariel Helwani.
