Hey fellas


I am writing a review about Diamond because I have experienced great things from this book ever since I joined and I really don't see a lot of talk about this book. My primary accounts are at 5Dimes, the Greek, and Diamond. I joined Diamond about 9 months ago and ever since, I have been gaining more trust in the book. I still keep 60-65% of my money at 5dimes, but I am thinking about moving more and more to Diamond.

So far, here are my observations based on my experience:

1.) CUSTOMER SERVICE-The CS reps are the best, hands down. I have had accounts at WSEX, The Greek, 5dimes, Betus, and Matchbook. The customer service reps at Diamond are the most polite, logical, and helpful people I have ever done business with at any sportsbook. Polar opposite of 5dimes.

2.) PAYOUTS-They say it takes 7-10 days for a payout; however, they usually make it happen in 3-4 days. I requested a $3,000 check via Fedex on Monday, November 30th. It arrived on Wednesday, December 2nd. I have completed many ** payouts and they have all been smooth and easy. Never any problems. The payouts are slightly more expensive than some books but not by much. The best thing is that they offer one free payout request per month for any withdrawal option. 5dimes offers the same but it is limited to only Fedex checks, not **.

3.) LINES-Overall, the lines are solid. The only downside is the lack of 5% juice like 5dimes offers. Man, I miss the days of Pinnacle for US players! But all in all, lines are equivalent to 5d, the greek, etc. As opposed to Betus, which will adjust the lines individually according to "customer profiling," which is bullshit. Odds are solid and industry average.

4.) REWARD SYSTEM-This aspect of the book makes it jump from great to excellent. You get points based on your amount bet. The points (rewards) can be cashed in on gift cards, cash back, free payouts, merchandise, etc. This is awesome and unique to the Diamond. I have never received a reward system at any other book besides Betus; however, that system is garbage. In the past 9 months, I have actually been rewarded over $500 from my accumulated points with Diamond. That is badass.

5.) SELECTION-Here is another positive aspect of the book. They offer a great selection of wagers and post lines 4-5 days before the event start time. For instance, a bettor can place a wager on Tuesday for a soccer match which starts Saturday. At 5dimes, I have to wait until Friday night for them to post a line for the soccer matches on Saturday. This is really beneficial if you are into moneyline parlays like me. Overall, they offer a huge selection equivalent to 5d, Greek, Pinny, WSEX, and Matchbook. They only slight disadvantage is they do not offer FCS football lines during the regular season. I really, really like 5dimes FCS (1-AA) football lines during the regular season because I love to bet on my small college in which I attend. Diamond offer post season FCS lines, but no lines during the regular season. But even at 5dimes, it is more of a novelty aspect because the max bet is limited to $100. Overall, A+++


In conclusion, I have been betting for 6+ years at various online sportsbooks and I will say that Diamond is top notch and should be rated the highest with 5dimes and the Greek in my opinion. I think the book holds a significant edge over any other book out there besides Pinny, which I cannot play with. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience thus far and will continue to bring my business to Diamond. I would highly recommend this book to any player. I do not post often at SBR, I am mainly on covers; however, I just wanted to share my experience over on this board.

OVERALL, MAD PROPS TO DIAMOND



Take it easy fellas, and good luck this weekend on college football!
