    Your Current or Go-To Sportsbook: WHY?

    Some of us can play at any book...we might have chose by betting market, ability to sell points, pleasers etc, others might choose by bitcoin, or a poker room etc

    #1 reason why you are with your current sportsbook??

    Mainly Vegas now

    I still follow offshore closely and will go back to them when I leave here

    It all comes down to bitcoin now and getting cash in and out of books

    5 Dimes
    Heritage
    Bookmaker
    Betonline

    All these offer everything you need

    Cannot risk lesser known books anymore that are too new

    5dimes, as an American and Washington State player they have made it the easiest to do business with and I have never had a reason to leave. Any issues with banking are generally brought on by the banks and 5d does what they can do find a solution for me, now it's BTC.

    bookmaker. high limits, fast withdrawals and if you know what youre doing you can avoid fees that alot of people say they have. 5 dimes has too many hoops to jump through and heritage doesnt have as big of limits. Those are the only three books to touch period

    Bookmaker - high limits
    5dimes - reduced juice, plus poker with rakeback.
    Nitrogen - kind of a hybrid of the top two.

    Nitrogen - bitcoin/instant/no restrictions

    Bookmaker - bitcoin payouts are pretty consistent, never had to wait more than 8 hours to receive it. 5dimes I've had to wait 48 hours, otherwise they would be my #1 non bitcoin book.

    5 Dimes... I joined the Bitcoin revolution and all seems to be fine (for now). More choices there then anywhere...NCAA Hockey all games in the regular season plus a ton of other options depending on your sport.


    Bookmaker runner up. Big betters have to love it. Main stream betting only, menu is small, juice higher, but if you feel strong about a game, they'll take your bet.

    Bill, nowadays, for me, it's all about live-betting. If an U.S book has a great live-betting platform(like bet365) with low juice, and quick payout, it will get the most U.S players.

    5dimes had a great live-betting, the live-betting plus, but they got rid of it because it was not ran "efficiently". 5dimes' current live-betting platforms are not good, they are not consistent. They should partner with one of those Europe based platforms.

    Bitcoin is getting more competitive across the board. By football season you will probably see them all speed up.

    Main issue for me is being able to get a reasonable size bet on!
    To that end Matchbook for US sports, Pinnaclebet for soccer and Betfair for horses.
    Beyond that I mostly have to place my bets is small parcels amongst a number of gutless bookies operating in Oz.

    BookMaker on a serious note...

    Luckily or unluckily.. Lol, didn't have a lot in 5D at the time so got it out. BMaker was honestly just who I've used in the past and had good service. Will definitely miss the prop options for MMA at 5D though. Will probably go back there after a while but for smaller.

    The owner george is a good dude and easy to get in contact with. Payouts are fast. Good bonuses. 10 cent mlb lines. Monthly rebates if you have a losing month. Can't go wrong with having them as an out
