which book to use and how to deposit $$

[hodges650]

My account with canbet is almost wiped out and I was looking for a different site. Which is the safest for recreational bettor in the U.S.? Is VIP good?

Also, how should I deposit $$? Can I still use neteller?

Pinnacle would be the book i'd sugguest to you bud. However you mentioned a recreational type book. Might I sugguest giving Bodog a try.

In regards to your funding method question. Yes, Neteller is still a safe way to deposite your funds at this time.

Is VIP good?

No not imo...even if you bet small Pinny should still be the best choice. But depends if you want to phone in bets, they dont have that. Jamaica would be my next pick after pinny if id bet small.

Also you can get a good bonus at Skybook, 50% Freeplay or something like that. They have very good customer service too.

pinnacle
matchbook
cris
betjamaica

fund it with neteller...for now...

[hodges650]

just curious - why is VIP not recommended? Are they thinking of eliminating U.S. customers?

Also, do any of these sites you recommended (pinny, cris, jamaica) have good poker rooms I could also use my betting money in?

[Yoshi]

Cris has a pokerroom with a decent amount of players I think.
But i usually recommend using a real pokersite like Pokerstars.

The reason i dont recommend VIP is, that i simply dont think they play in the same class as Pinny/Cris/Jamaica etc.
For example you can get better lines and more betting options at Pinny, so there is no reason at all to pick VIP.
And i hate the software.

hodges650 ... not sure if you've seen this, but the SportsBookReview.com (SBR) Rating Guide and Sportsbook Reviews are a good starting place for finding answers to many of your questions. Good luck and don't hesitate to keep asking questions here on the forum ... lots of smart guys with very sharp advice.

You can't go wrong with Pinnacle. Instadebit is good for small amounts as an alternative to Neteller and your account is immediatetly funded without any fees.

thanks for the help guys.

Sean - I have checked out those links - I just did not know if they took into account the new gambling law and what was best for U.S. citizens.

the echeck route is not a bad one either...
