    You're just grading these based on how safe your funds are.

    Suppose there was a super safe book like Pinnacle that dealt 50c juice. That's a horseshit book. D-.

    You have to incorporate BEATABILITY into your #s.

    Hollywood offers a lot of juicy promos, pretty easy lines. Player funds very safe. I must have gotten over 300k in payouts from them (no, not profit, mostly getting my 'principal' back). They've paid me 20k to moneybookers several times in under 48hours. They are different from shitty jazette books like Linesmaker, Hailmary, and head and shoulders above sportsbook.com.

    Lowvig is exactly the same as BetOnline except: the software works (wonder why BetOnline can't get it that smooth), -108 instead of -110. High limits.

    Assuming you're outside US since you have pinny included, but are you in the phillipines or something since you dont include any of the asian books? I dont have any experience with some of the above books, but I'd guess none of them could hold a candle to them except for pinny ofc. Or are you just feeling the above being more financially sound?

    Good list. Good value at all those books for different reasons, and different sports.

    Royal Sports could have been fit into the 9 or 10 slot as well.

    No.

    jjgold, correct. this is a N. American list only. Betfair not anywhere on list.

    I refuse to bet soccer. It is just such a pathetic sport and watched by pathetic people who tolerate outrageous diving, not to mention all the match fixing scandals.

    you can find hours and hours of soccer diving footage. good luck finding that much footage in hockey, football, or even basketball.

    1. Tired of pussy players holding their face whenever they miss the ******* net, acting as if the world will end now
    2. Diving is one thing, but then to roll around on the ground holding your face because your leg hurts = wtf?
    3. As soon as ref gives them the call, or doesn't, they get up and are 100% again

    Anyone who can tolerate this as a spectator is as much a pussy as the player

    WHY THE FUKK DO THEY ALWAYS HOLD THEIR ******* FACE???

    And I find Bodog extremely beatable...

    You can often pick up a half point or even a full point over anywhere else if you are betting against the public...

    Why would you not want to play at a square book?

    You prefer to play at a SHARP book like Pinnacle???

    At first I grabbed the keyboard and was ready to type Go fk yourself, you son of a b... but then,
    He's actually got a point (and Im a retired player myself and No, I never did this diving shit, time wasting etc.) BUT to the OP, you gotta understand that this Sport itself is very, very physical and the injuries are horrendous, youtube that shit as well if you're preaching the diving footages etc (and basically everything they wear is ''shorts and a shirt'' add to that, they're playing outside, no matter it's winter or summer). Anyway, there are many fake ass players in basketball and other team sports too but yes, lately soccer (football!) has gained more and more of these.

    On topic, why no bWIN or bet365 ?
