which is the best sportsbook?

Intangible · 03-01-10, 11:02 AM

Pinnacle Sports if you don't live in the States

5Dimes is top notch as well

southpaw74 · 03-01-10, 11:03 AM

I've heard 5 dimes and Greek are good.

Ryangene · 03-01-10, 11:03 AM

I use BetPhoenix as my main book...

I dont suggest using BP as your new choice.... have heard enough to know folks have issues with those cats....

lyon804 · 03-01-10, 11:12 AM

I like the Greek. An A+ book that pays fast and has all the options one could imagine.

laziie · 03-01-10, 11:14 AM

try the sportsbooks and industry sub forum...

mdk02 · 03-01-10, 11:17 AM

i use Bodog, very realiable

letitburn · 03-01-10, 12:19 PM

Greek or Betjamaica

malay76 · 03-01-10, 12:20 PM

Stay away Tony the God (5 Dimes),,,, Greek if your US, Out of Us Pinnacle

Nyc · 03-01-10, 12:25 PM

Wats a good book in ny?

Sawyer · 03-01-10, 12:35 PM

TheGreek, Matchbook, Betjamaica.

These 3 will be enough

PS: Add Pinny if you're living outside US.

maseda17 · 03-01-10, 12:38 PM

Pinny for sure. I use BetJam in the US and have had positive experience.

maseda17 · 03-01-10, 12:38 PM

Bodog sucks, their lines are always ridiculously late in coming out. The one thing I like about them is their website is so clean and easy to navigate.

Kav · 03-01-10, 01:12 PM

pinnacle is the shizzle!

gshock1 · 03-01-10, 01:25 PM

Bookmaker and Greek. Best of the bunch.

pronk · 03-01-10, 01:32 PM

If you live here, in US- betjamaica and Greek by far the best. Stay the hell away from BODOG!!!

gshock1 · 03-01-10, 01:34 PM

Bomut cost me a lot and a ton. They fuking blow.

Evenstar1907 · 03-01-10, 01:43 PM

The Greek, really happy there. Good customer service, fast pay-outs, early lines. Only negative thing I can mention is that they are one of the first to move lines, so sometimes you end up losing value when you react too late on steam moves.

nickmanning214 · 03-01-10, 01:43 PM

I like Bodog because their lines are always slightly different than everyone else's

Buddy getting stiffed on his Kardashian black shirt prop in the SuperBowl was enough to make me stay away from Bodog... release silly props then don't pay when they hit?

eatdust11 · 03-01-10, 01:55 PM

I like matchbook and betjamaica

SOUP · 03-01-10, 03:03 PM

I use bodog and haven't run into any problems with them. The guy who complains the lines don't come out soon enough is probably -5,000$ in the hole from betting early lines.

Wilforth · 03-01-10, 03:03 PM

It all depends on what your priorities are.

Power Play · 03-01-10, 03:06 PM

pinnacle if you're overseas by far.
thegreek is the best overall in the states
5dimes for low betting players i heard is the best in the states for reduced lines.
get a matchbook account for baseball
bookmakers pays you too

playa420 · 03-01-10, 03:10 PM

Bookamker and the The Greek are definitely the two best books for the NBA, they have the earliest opening lines, and they pay hella fast.

zigomanisinsider · 03-01-10, 03:12 PM

bet365

This.

Bodog eliminates ANY POSSIBLE edge a sports-better might be able to find. It's so absurd how ****ed up their book is. Yeah, they are great at getting payouts to you in a timely manner and their website is easy to navigate. But as maseda mentioned, they don't post overnight lines and they don't even post totals, ML's or 1H lines for all NBA games AND you're only going to get 1H lines and ML's in NCAAB if the game is nationally televised (games that have the sharpest lines). Furthermore, there are several games throughout the day that cannot be teased or parlayed with other games, these games will be circled in red.

GFY Bodog.

Just to set the facts straight, the Kim Kardashian shirt-color prop was we resettled as a win for those who wagered on black. All bets should have been settled by now, but please give CS a call if you wagered on black and did not receive your money so they can sort it out for you.

Thanks,

I like bodog, they have paid me quickly and never ran into any problems with them so far.

You haven't had issues with Bodog??? Do you live in the U.S? The reason I ask is cuz a buddy of mine came up big time on Bodog and he had trouble cashing his checks. They sent him 5k every 5 days I think and his bank wouldn't accept them. DO NOT USE BODOG!!!

I def agree. My whole group of friends have had major issues with Bodog in the U.S. We strictly use locals only now.

pinnacle is best!!
