    Which book to try next
    I'm mainly a recreational player. My 1 unit represents mostly between $50 and $100. 3 units is the most I've wagered. I like to wager every day, sometimes up to 10 units. I like parlays and straight bets and bet on football, hockey and soccer. I'm not crazy about books who charge fees for the use of Neteller. I'm not into bonuses although I appreciate bet365 bonus system (don't ask, I have no clue. CS once told me there was a bonus available for me. I used it and now, I just see another and use it). I presently have running accounts in Pinnacle, bet365 and VIP Sports.

    I'm going to try a new book starting today. I do this every 2-4 months to experiment and gain first hand knowledge. Already have accounts in most major books but never deposited. I know it is a general question but I've read many rational opinions here and I'd like to know which book you members suggest I try this time.

    Thanks for the input.

    Max

    P.S.: Bodog is out. They don't accept canadians, which I am.

    Why do you play in big books with wise lines if you are a small player? Get a smaller reliable book for recreational players with less line movement to shop for the best line for you. That is my advise and opinion...

      BetJamaica

      FREE OUTS:
      Customer withdrawals of $200 or more are entitled to one free withdrawal per month via Bankwire, FedEx. You can also choose to receive a free withdrawal via NETeller, eCheck or ******* on any amount.

      This might be what you are looking for bud.

        Jay, that might be a good solution but which small book is really as reliable as the main ones? I feel that offshore gambling is about trust. I've withdrawn a few thousands so far without any problems. I won't waste time on any runaround or hassles. So I stick to A-rated books.

        Illusion, suggestion noted. Thank you

          I agree with you Max. I hate the runaround BS. I just stick with SBR rating "A+" books.

            Some new books:

            RichCoastSports: -107 SNF and -105 monday night football

            20% bonus, 4x rollover, I have taken 2 payouts, no problems, I am a small time player like you.

            And hot off the forums:

            Bet Trojan:
            20% bonus, 5x rollover with -105 across the board.
            I have not played at Bet Trojan but believe I might sometime soon.

            I also play at:

            Pinnacle
            Canbet
            MVP
            BetGameDay

            I like trying the new books, its my only outlet for "living dangerously"

              Hey Max,

              I think without doubt Betjamica is the book for you. Safe, reliable, great CS, no charge for payouts...fastest payouts in the business.

              If you are interested and do sign up...please let me know so I can get a potential bonus. Thanks.

                TOW has a promo going on with both these books which you are refering. 100 for a 100

                  RCS seem to have a 30-day hold whether you go for the 20% or 100% bonus.. in fact the website states "hold on deposit" for 100% and "hold on deposit & bonus" for 20%.

                      I suspect that Jay might suggest betonstars.com (SBR rating: D).

                              Bear, I already have an acoount at BetJamaica. Maybe next time

                              JJ, I have an account at Bowman's. Was turned off by the 3.9% charge for InstaCash deposits. I'm already paying 5% at Pinnacle. It's not much but questionable when it's free elsewhere.

                              WWTS, I'm gonna have to try. Carib, I'm gonna have to get info. BetJamaica might be my choice right now.

                              Why, good info. But you got more guts than I do, lol. Again, I'm with Freebie, I don't want to risk wasting my time because of new books.

                              Jay,

                              Thanks for the input, guys!

                                Good choice with WWTS, never had a problem with them, easy site to navigate for a recreational player

                                  But you'll get plenty of problems with their aggressive email spamming.

                                    Did anyone say, BetCris b/c I personally like them, if you talk to someone you don't like, just call back until you do. I think it is neat that they will give you a sportspager, which I thought would be useless, but it comes in handy when you only have one tv, no cable, cant get to the sportsbar, dialup internet, oh and especially if the game isnt on tv.

                                    I actually think it would be better if they gave you a satellite radio or something to that extent. Prices should be comparable.

                                    Anyways I am new to it all as well and find BetCris and Bet365(for buy and sell points) good.

                                        Carib is a good place to play, I played there a long time, they had a couple of withdrawal rules I did not like!

                                          You put a lot of money in action so would lean toward the reduced juice books. GGC.co.cr is good with -05 plan. Hollywood and Pinnacle obviously.

                                                I went with BetJamaica... and am also trying Carib Sports. Am a little frustrated with BetJamaica today as their site keeps getting unavailable.

                                                Laker, that would have been a good choice for me but Guardian is not rated very high. I'll wait and do some research.
