    how many books?
    How many books do you use on a daily basis? I have 2 offshore and 1 local (not so local)

    I am to the point where I can bet bigger due to my bankroll growth, the limits at my books do not allow it. Am I crazy to want 5 or 6 offshores to bet regularly? I am low action, 5/10 plays a week. Input appreciated. No pun intended.

    More books the better, but if you are doing it as a hobby then you have enough.

        That is great to hear! This is not a hobby so to speak. Not my only form of income but i do put just as much effort into this.

          5dimes, bookmaker, bovada. Bovada recently got out of the New Jersey market so I've been looking at other books and depositing across the board to make the most of bonuses

                Since you are low action I would try to find one book with high enough limits. Are you really maxed out at DSI/BM? http://www.betdsi.eu/wager-limits

                Otherwise you could try one of the asianbroker sites like asianconnect88.com or bet-ibc.com.

                                I might have just lost one of my books i have 4 main ones I use. It's crazy that they can have no problem talking your money but you would think they would give you good customer service while doing so. Don't know what they are teaching these reps it's a shame offshore is a disgrace with all the limitations and good books left.

                                    Non-USA guys are in heaven with sports books

                                    They have been massive choice and a big edge over the American player

                                      Certainly appears that way.
                                      No way could I live in America.

                                        Hareeba it's not bad if you're just a guy that wants to played a few sports books and do not make a lot of deposits and withdrawals

                                        It's better than betting with a local in my opinion

                                              If I was American I would only use bitcoin books. The thought of watiing days/weeks for a withdrawal is just not acceptable in 2014.

                                                      5dimes will give you 100 on props, 500 on most small sporting events and I've bet up to 3k on major sports.

                                                        3k is good for me. 500 is a max at my books, for me at least. I still use a 1-5x platform for my betting. 80% being 1x. Im afraid of getting blacklisted from you know where. A lot of books have crazy payout times for wire and checks, but take the good with the bad I guess.

                                                          Bitcoin books are good if the book is already established and respected like 5 Dimes

                                                          We need other top usa books to do it now

                                                              Time is right for someone to make a fortune by setting themselves up as the clearing house for US facing books wanting to take advantage of bitcoin.
