    Pretty easy, honestly: Props and openers? 5D. Lower juice (and thus, better lines)? pinnacle. There's more to it than that, but that's basically the gist of it. If you bet a lot of props, choose 5D. Ideally, you'd have both.

    I'm in full agreement with MD. I would also open a Bovada account. Once in a while they have better odds then 5dimes. A good example would be Jones -650 opening odds versus 5dimes -1175.

    365 is very good for live betting, they are real slow releasing the odds though. Fight day is when you get the best options. I have a site on this so know them all pretty well. Seen as your able to have 365 you might not be aware that Ladbrokes is very good when it comes to it. You got all the options, the only ones missing are the over/unders and FOTN apart from that there as good as dimes. Search ufc betting at ladbrokes and sign up through there if you want : )

    Dimes (usa + everywhere else work in $ though + they release the lines early) Ladbrokes (everywhere else, release all the betting lines/options Wed/Thur)

    Dimes/DSI/Paddies for fight of the night, sometimes sub of the night etc, Paddies have a habit of messing up especially when the fights are on ie pulling fights when they shouldn't.

    You guys like betting BET365 for MMA live fights?

    BET365 is insane for live betting in general. They must have hundreds of people running the live lines.

    Do they offer undercard plays or just the main card? And do bet 365 offer between round odds or during the whole fight?

    Generally they (365) will have all the fights that are on other books live. You have to check them out the day of the fight for all there bets, just before a fight starts is when you will get round, method of victory, over/under etc.

    For some UFC's they leave alot of them bets on when its live, like the last one that had Gunner Nelson fighting they had

    When will the fight end.
    fight winner
    method of victory (ITD or pts)
    total rounds
    round betting

    to go the distance

    That's just before a fight the bold ones go when its started.

    In the last event they had them options just before the fight but only had fight winner when it was on. And its all live, not between rounds stuff.

    Ladbrokes is the same, Ladbrokes is just like dimes, you can even do split decisions with them and live betting (match winner) look at there lines this thursday/friday, the fights where the time has a little yellow box around them will be available live. They should have all the prop bets available for most fights, usually except for the facebook ones.

    Dimes is just better than them for releasing there lines earlier.

    I have dimes,dsi,365,ladbrokes and paddies. Mostly use Ladbrokes/Dimes and 365.

    Is that from arbing V or winning lots? do you use any software for arbing? any calculator or anything especially for mma? Ive seen one or two about for sports in general but pretty expensive to subscribe to.

    you dont have to necessarily win lots to get limited on most of these books. Books like victor chandler limited me after I made like £200. If you catch an opening line that is slightly off, or if they are slow at changing a line in accordance with other books and you max that and it wins they'll just limit you. Like StanJames were always slow and moving tennis lines, about a year ago I was getting Player X at +110 when they'd moved to -130 on most other books. Made a few hundred there and then they deleted my account

    I think Paddypower and ladbrokes were the only ones that limited me due to MMA betting.

    I didnt use any software, just used oddschecker.com . But now oddschecker have removed Pinnacle so that is pretty much pointless for me now
