    Based on weak lines, good odds, good bonuses with low rollover, good options, slow line movement, free payouts, etc.

    Doesnt matter which book you can beat

    Most importantly is which book can you get on and get paid without getting restricted

    The coach has spoken...

    The only reason I was holding onto Bet365 is because of the 100% bonus with only 3x rollover.

    Coach, does this change your opinion at all?

    I went with SIA... thought I was only getting a 10% bonus but it looks like it's around 60%. (Deposited $200, $325 is present).

    They usually give you a $125 bonus if you deposit $100 for the initial deposit.

    125 is probably max bonus.

    And to the dude saying BetIsland, they were a distant third. Very beatable but not very reputable.

    Bet365 has the best bonus and good lines too.

    Well, I'm glad I went with SIA as I've made some very nice change off of them.

    But now, I'm going to buy $140 of sportsbook cash at one of the following books:

    Bookmaker
    5dimes
    Legends
    Bodog
    Sportbet
    JustBet
    Heritage

    Which is the weakest?

    Definitely like dogs... usually where the edges appear.

    I guess I should say, which is most like SIA? (weak lines, slow moving, pays out, etc.)

    I would definitely go for BET365 as no 1, good odds, easy rollover for the bonus, i like the sportsbook as well.
    Bodog and Betvictor are also ok, although quite slow payout from Betvictor in my case.

    When I said the 'weakest' book; I just meant who has the slower moving lines, who shades the dogs most, etc.

    So far from my gatherings, I'd rank the big reputable books like this in terms of weakness:

    1. SIA
    2. BetDSI
    3. Bet365
    4. Bodog
    5. ???

    Would love to get a 5th in there...

    I've heard good things about the Jazette books... Very weak and despite not-paying in the past, they are now under different management.

    Ya, you don't get it. Some others that responded don't get it either.

    I only play edges... I don't make personal plays.

    Every book has it's strengths and weaknesses depending on what you play. For people that only play heavily publicized games that are on TV most books are about the same. If you like options and bet on things that most people never even consider betting on then I recommend 5Dimes. Of course... if you truly like options then you will play at all the books. This is your best bet.

    Bodog commonly has lines that are off .5 point to a point. Sometimes totals off 1.5 points.

    Usually the totals are 'higher' at bodog so an NFL 50.5 at pinny is often 51.5 at bodog with EV odds.

    Honestly, if you haven't taken SIA for a couple grand yet, you're not trying.

    lines move the slowest at SIA as mentioned. bodog doesn't post early enough for me to see movement.

    For variance in regular odds Pinnacle and 5 dimes are the best.... when it comes to live betting bet 365 rocks!!!
