    I like 5dimes too, but the lines move quickly.

    5Dimes drastically cuts your limits if you win. The more I've played there the less I like it. The lines for bases are good but who cares if you can't get down what you want.

    Seriously...I cant believe some of the people keep recommending sportsbooks without properly knowing pros and cons for each one of them. Here it is:-

    5dimes - Its for children to play with their lunch money. Limits are low and they throw you out quickly if you are a winning player....their reason "Thats our business model....to throw out winning players and keep the loosing bettors."

    Matchbook - Liquidity is a big issue in matchbook. Many of the lines isnt matched in matchbook. Many games dont have lines...This is very true in College Basketball and College Football where there are several games. Usually you wont find small market game lines where the real +EV is. Besides that no parlays, teasers etc... which are useful during football season. They lost lot of money by giving credit to players.

    BetJamaica - Same as greek with less betting options, bad interface and low limits. Why not just play in Greek?....greek is very reputable and has very fast payout.

    Pinnacle/Betfair - Top books...but not for US players.

    The only two books I would recommend for US players is Greek and Bookmaker. Even though these two books have some minor flaws...they are easily the two top sportsbooks. Hands down. Heritage is also good...but you need an invite.

    For Baseball and Soccer they are not good. For everything else they are good. As I said, they have some minor flaws...they are not perfect. The positives outweigh the negatives though in these 2 books.

    hee guys,

    I'm kinda new to this thing, but I have an account at sportsbook.com, anyone has experience with that one? it seems that no one here uses it. curious on its rep?

    if its bad , where should I go to ,as non US player, to get the most profit? I think that sportsbook.com takes a lot away from my profit.

    for example ; playing with - 140 on a game. putting 110$ to win 81 $ on the straight wager. is that normal?

    hope that anyone can help me on this as I'm getting myself ready to get real busy with the $$$$$$$
