    5Dimes has more options for betting. 5Dimes will put up a ML no matter how high it is, if you are into that sort of thing.

    Have posted up at 5 different shops. 5D is clearly the best. Have not posted up at BM, but they seem to be a solid shop from what I read. But no resason to switch at this point.

    bookmaker is a solid book and it seems like they are always trying to get better.. some of their markets are very vanilla.. but if you want to pound lines big.. its a solid book and you will get paid...

    5 dimes has the best market options for several sports.. two that really stick out in my mind is baseball and soccer for a book that is facing the U.S.

    Size is just one consideration.

    Not everyone's action is welcomed everywhere. 5ds is superior in most every way IMHO (including cs - its at least a push), but they are smart enough to collar sharp play.

    RBI, I will say it again, I have an insane love hate relationship with bookmaker. I hate them for there fees, for there juice, etc. But I win there for some reason. I love 5dimes for their options, their payouts, etc - but I lose there.

    If you are betting a small amount - no need to even consider bookmaker. All profits of a $10 bet is lost in fees.

    Fees, the dirtiest four letter "F" word known to man.

    Their fees to get your money have to be among the industries highest.

    I don't need to post their fee list here, as you have seemingly already researched them. Just look it up - easily available on their webpage.

    Now, depending on how you feel, fees are something a lot of people can handle because they like the security of doing business with bookmaker - and as a result are willing to pay a little extra to play at "The best" most secure book.

    My point is simple though, bookmaker isn't a place to make $10 or $20 straight bets. Stay at 5dimes.

    Well stated guy!

    I would like to view a total complete list of their fees.

    Am I allowed to offer a member like yourself 100 betpoints to email me that list?

    I doubt it is PI via their site.

    Thank You Chalk

    Dude, no need to give me points - you would need to send it every day for 50 days anyway. It is all good.

    No on both accounts. If they do have the 1 free withdraw per month, I am unaware of it.

    I mean, laying -110 on all sides and totals is a tax to be sure - but in the way I think you meant, no.

    Also, just go ahead and sign up over there, look around, etc - you can sign up with any book you want, it doesn't become real until you deposit. Hell, I have an account with Pinny. Can't load up and play there, but that place is worth the pain in the ass it takes to get an account there.

    Smoke says look at Heritage and BI and I may but BI has b grade and one thing about BM if your funds aren't safe there then players funds never safe. They are advertised as worlds largest SB and I am not looking to cash out much. Want a few accounts for the long haul.

    I am aware however that books r not providing g a service but are in biz to bank your $$ within the lines.

    I tell u what if a Book tried to take my money I would raise so much trouble they would literally be paying me extra to go away. The only thing that worries me is that 1 day u log on and the next they are bye bye, cya. oob!

    Like Full Tilt. Anyone know if the players got their funds back? I mean FT was huge site. Many players had 25k+ easy in their accounts. Even if they got paid back in full, look how long they lost it for.

    All these books get 50%+ biz from US players. Why won't the US legalize and regulate? So stupid!

    Maybe one day I will be a successful sports investor and be able to up & move to/near Vegas!!
