Approved or Recommended? Cause 14 are recommended
and alot more are approved.

It seems to me the offshore industry is now mature enough and SBR diligent enough that there are no more books off the radar screen. There are a few like no-juice and bettrojan that I'm rooting for to establish themselves, but every sports betting site I look at (and there's a lot) that isn't on the list is a Euro site that doesn't take Neteller or a turnkey site run by some marketing guy who is all splash or a credit shop that wants to get on the post-up bandwagon but not if it means doing anymore than registering a URL. All such books offer 11-10 and late odds. Probalby a slow moving number now and again, but not worth the trouble and risk.

imgv94,

Here is the thing. In the book is a euro book, or primarily a credit shop, then it could weel be a good shop, that just isn't ebing rated by SBR, because the book isn't looking for US post up cusotmers. But if there is a post up shop that we don't know about, it begs the question, why don't we know about it. If we who are always on the lookout for new books, never heard of the place, then how and where is this book getting it's customers. It could well be that for the small number and type of player it has, the book is fine. But if you have one guy come in and beat them for 10k in a few days, which can easily happen when you deal wiith forum players, the book is now in slow pay mode. Tow examples come to mind. 4sportspicks and blockbusterbets. Only took one or two forum players to put those books under.

I've heard Cascade is really good....I think I am going to be giving Skybook a try real soon...a half-point in NCAAB is huge. You go from a loss to a push and from a push to a win...that has to be worth something.

Canbet too is good and it's rated high by SBR but very little people talk about it.

Skybook is for amatures! They try to get suckers in by offering half a point with less payout hehe. This book has SUCKER written all over it!

There will always be something negative said about "new books" but for me RichCoastSports has met all my personal criteria and more, good book and probably underrated.

I guess I mean to say I won't play with any book that doesn't at least have a B+ rating with SBR...I feel that matchbook and skybook are underrated at this point...
