imgv's top 5 sportsbooks..

[imgv94]

1. Pinnacle: By far the best

2. Matchbook: Lines/Low Juice are amazing at times.

3. BetCacasde: -105 juice

4. 5 DIMES : So many wagering options. A must have for Teaser bettors

5. (Tie) CRIS/The Greek For Early lines and dependability.

These are the 5 best sportsbooks hands down..

IMG pretty good for a 24 year old kid but now let the Pro come in and teach you some.

1. Pinnacle of course by themselves for tons of betting options, low juice and pay quick.

2. Cris nudges out Greek mainly because of software

3. Greek/Bet Jamaica

4. WSEX/Matchbook

5.Carib/SOS

6. 5 Dimes

7. BoDog

8. Cascade

9. VIP

10. I will throw in a different one here Tradesports



Boys that is the most accurate list you will ever see. My credentials are unmatched by anyone including SBR John

1. Pinnacle
2. Bet365
3. 10bet
4. Betcris
5. Expekt

5 Dimes is overrated. Low limits to begin with and afraid of sharp action. A safe book, but not a Top 10 book. Cascade will also drop out of that list when they move to -110.

[Dark Horse]

1 - Pinnacle
2 - WSEX
3 - Greek
4 - CRIS
5 - Matchbook/Tradesports/Cascade

Pinnacle is by far the sharpest. If their line goes +102/-112 on some college game, the -112 side will cover more often than not. So then you need another low juice book to bet that side for less. This also allows Pinnacle to pick up a nice chunk from scalpers, middlers, and arbers. You can bet your sweet ass that the Pinnacle Pulse, which has become a completely ridiculous publication, is incorporated into their strategy. When I learned (here) that this operation is run by a former member of the Computer Group, that explained a lot.

One of those books will probably screw players soon with the current situation in the industry. I do agree with your list though.

My list has shrunk with all the books bailing. I'm willing to pay higher juice, but I'm sticking with these guys

... I can't believe there are so many 10Bet friends... Are you playing there since a long time and still like 10Bet or is it just because they seem to be good at a first glance? My experience is: avoid them.

[pjesnik24]

why Kiwi? they have problems sometimes with bad lines and with livebets (also had a problem once) but they always pay, you can pick the way how they pay and you have more options on 99% of the games than Pinnacle or Pointbet. I personally never had a problem with them because a bad line because they are normally also very connected to Pinnacle lines. It the line is quite different than the Pinnacle line then I would suggest to avoid it!
I would put them as my second or third best bookie especially now with these problems repeating with Pointbet (by the way, did they pay everybody?).

[kiwi]

Hi... concerning Pointbet I guess their problems are because of the transaction limits of their Moneybookersaccount not because they don't have enough money. So even if they slow pay from time to time there shouldn't be a big risk not to get the money.

Conecerning 10Bet most disturbing is that they cancel bets rather often even if their lines are not really out of line (they often correct their decision only if the bettor mentions the SBR forum - very bad behaviour in my opinion). They don't send e-mail in time when they cancel bets.
Then also after a while they will give you worse odds (dual lines) in case you are winning on the long run.

For US-sports Pinnacle is clearly better than 10Bet (better odds and higher limits), for soccer ****** is also clearly better than 10Bet (better odds and higher limits)...

Edit: why the name of the book with better soccer odds than 10Bet is blocked?!? maybe it works if I write s b o b e t ?

I've heard 5 Dimes is good for dogs, is that a shared experience?

[pags11]

mine are:

pinnacle
matchbook
betcris
betjamaica
betcascade....

[kiwi]

Do you prefer Betjamaica over TheGreek and why?

[Tchocky]

1. Pinnacle Sports - Best Overall Book
2. WSEX - Live Betting & Futures Trading
3. 5 Dimes - Parlays, Teasers & other exotic bets
4. Matchbook - Betting Exchange

They basically beg you to bet the dogs..

[pags11]

kiwi,

I've never used the greek, but being that they are the parent company of betjamaica I'm sure they're great...
