    Help Me Choose a Sportsbook :)
    Hello All!
    I am new to this forum, form Australia, however I bet alot of NBA, and would like a reliable overseas based sportsbook!
    I would like to make the most of bonuses
    Are there any cash bonuses from these reduced juice sites?
    I am not a big bettor, I will deposit from $200 - $400
    I would appreciate security in my money aswell
    Would anyone know what sportsbook will be good for me?
    Thanks!

    I currently use bodog. The bonuses are not that great but I have had good experiences with deposits and withdrawals. Also Customer Service is really good. If you like poker they have a decent poker setup. Sometimes the lines are not the best but overal a decent book. Good Luck! If you decide to go with them put me down as a referral!

      join pinnacle, and you will never have to look back. however they do not have a deposit bonus, but have the best lines and lowest juice.

          I would reccomend SBObet and 188bet too as they AH odds tend to be the best close to KO

            I have heard some good things about Bet Jamaica -- maybe you should give them try!

              I'm fairly new to sports betting, but have done it on and off for a few years, fairly successfully. I've decided to get into it a little more seriously now, and signed up for an account at Sportsbook.com. They accept US members, have easy deposit methods, the lines are fair, and their support is great.

              I'd recommend them.

                    Absolutely, Pinnacle. Missing it terribly in the USA. Many of us do.

                      Would recommend getting your withdrawals via bank wire at sportsbook.com. I just got paid this week 3 days after requesting it.

                            I just started out too and I'm using bodog. It's very user friendly.

                              The "Poster´s poll" is the advice of people on this forum so it should give an idea. Though it´s important to remember that the high number of people from the US results in relatively bad rankings for bookies not accepting people from the US. This is especially obvious when it comes to Pinnacle who would win everything by a mile if Americans could go there...

                                I'm a big fan of Bet Jamaica, but you can't really go wrong with Sportsbook.com either. Good luck in whatever you choose.

                                  Whoever recommends BetUS and Sportsbook.com is nobody you should be listening to. The only bettors that like them are ones that lose. If you plan on losing and love bonuses on money that you will only lose anyway, then by all means join up with either of those scam books. If you actually want a shot at making money...

                                      Pinnacle is the best bookie, but it has no bonus, if bonus is what you're looking for i would tell you Bet365 100% deposit bonus.

                                      There's also Betfair, it's an exchange, one of the best places to bet, and being australian you can bet there.

                                          Pinnacle, Bet365, Gamebookers and Sportingbet would be the ones I'd recommend.

                                            Where is Pinnacle located? Pinnacle is not US available right? What's the top one for USA that's not Bodog? (I do enjoy bonus stuff too...)

                                                    Betjam has the deposit 100, get 100 freeplay.

                                                    DSI has deposit 200, get 200 freeplay.

                                                    You could scalp and middle the 2 against each other to get through the rollovers.

                                                    Make sure you understand the rollover requirements if you decide to get some bonus money.

                                                        I would say 5Dimes is best for betting from within USA.

                                                          if you are winning too much money in a certain online website, do they freeze your money? kick you out? what tends to happen?
