opinions about different sports books

blackbeSSt · 07-29-09, 07:54 PM

so no one has anything to say about their experiences with different books be it good or bad? how odd!

Just check the top SBR books mate, or use forum search for the ones you are considering. For most people, you can't go wrong with BetJam, Greek, LegendZ, 5Dimes, Pinnacle(non-US), etc.

I used BetEd last season before I found this place, and the lines and betting options sucked, but I didn't know any better. Greek this time, and I'm much happier with the way it appears to be set up.

Stick with A and A+ books...

Bookmaker...never have to worry about my funds or what will happen if I win. Also like 5 dimes and BetJam

Stumpage · 08-01-09, 11:01 AM

Take a look at the SBR Poster's Poll on the top right.....Fairly recent poll I believe, maybe a couple months back.

Cferrat · 08-03-09, 02:05 PM

You might want to try Bet911 we have great daily perks and bonuses are great also. We pay fast and have great service as well!

blackbeSSt · 08-29-09, 04:44 PM

aight i decided to go with betjamica after reading all the reviews.

what are y'alls funding methods? most credit cards won't run and some of the other options aren't for the US (neteller and such). i can't seem to find any that will work besides the good ol fedex a cashiers check!

laxdjock · 08-29-09, 06:25 PM

5Dimes is good, but they are quick to limit, and you pretty much get one shot at a bonus, and then you "don't qualify". I have accounts iwth a number of other books, and I am trying to figure out if the bonuses of the other books are worth switching my action.

I've narrowed my choices down to: The Greek, Bet Jam, and Legends. I need to watch their lines for a bit and see what fits my betting style.

pinnacle is the best off shore books, lines are great

Ponnacle will not accept wagers from the U.S. Any book is dangerous, but like the poster said,stick to the A or A+ books, and you stand less of a chance of getting screwed when the feds decide to do so.

ZBOIZ · 08-30-09, 12:55 PM

5dimes

blackbeSSt · 08-30-09, 01:55 PM

but again, how are y'all funding your accounts? bet jamaica said the best bet is a pre-paid all access debit card that is used for online purchases. the gas stations that sell them charge $4, and there is a $10 monthly fee. funk that!

laxdjock · 08-30-09, 02:22 PM

MoneyGram. Most books refund the transfer fee if you deposit at least $200-$250. Cashing out can be a bit varied; I usually just get a checked mailed. Most offer a FedEx option for ~$30, which I think is worth it if you are cashing in the 4 figures.

blackbesst,
try ***********. i dealt with all the crap of being a US player a few weeks ago. stumbled across this method and was quite pleased. buy a voucher, get a code, plug the code into betjam, and its there as soon as the page reloads. only thing is, cant withdraw or transfer for 14 business days, but overall looks to be a pretty good deal to avoid all the restrictions elsewhere. best thing of all, its simple!

hope this helps

twentyonekid · 08-30-09, 06:36 PM

the only ones ive ever used are,sportsbetting.com,and youwager...never had a problem with either but on sportsbetting i could not wager with my sportsbook funds in the racebook,that bothered me

316316 · 08-30-09, 08:20 PM

i go for 12BET, mansion88, bookmaker, ladbrokes.. try it!

WSU_Tbone · 09-01-09, 12:52 AM

Matchbook and Greek are a must...I used to be loyal to Cris until they lost about 5k of my $$$. They eventually found it, but it took them over 2 weeks to figure it out...Since then I've gone with Matchbook, Greek and a local....

frankthetank · 09-01-09, 02:12 AM

I agree with most others on here, Bookmaker is your best bet

sbencyclopedia · 09-01-09, 10:09 AM

I've never had any issues with Bookmaker, Matchbook or 5 Dimes.
