I would stick with Matchbook since Pinnacle is out of the picture.

I can't remember off hand exactly what type of volume Matchbook has for pucks though. For some reason I keep remembering not all that much really.

they had ML only, no +/- 1.5 last year.

5Dimes was pretty good.

5 dimes has a lot of different hockey lines

5 dimes has a lot of different hockey lines, all the periods, alternative lines, puck lines, money lines.

This book is extremely sharp and knows what it is doing. Almost always the lines will be exactly where they should be, so be careful but sometimes something good will pop up and you can get down on them good as their limits are high.

Also check out Olympic, which seems to have a line on everything.

I was going to suggest 5Dimes as well Louis, as I too think their assortment of lines on the pucks can't be beat. However, I couldn't disagree with you more about "getting down on them good" due to their "high limits." That is always the biggest knock against them is their really small limits, as well as them booting anyone who gets up on them by much. If you bet for $500 or less (which I'm not knocking you thinking is really big time and "getting down on them good" as everyone has different backgrounds, bankrolls, and perceptions) than I would absolutely give some action 5Dimes' way.

hockey at 5 dimes

I don't think they have cut my limits yet. you can't bet like the NFL, but they have allowed $500 to bet a period spread or money line seems like a pretty high limit to me. I haven't bet the entire game there, because they are too sharp.

I guess 5 Dimes

The problem with hockey is their is not lots of volume

what book available to u.s. players
has the minus one puck lines?

jjgold · 10-03-07, 10:41 AM

I think 5 Dimes has all the hockey lines available daily

Every book if you bet a combination of moneyline and puckline.

It's only the Canadian players that get restrictions put on them in regards to that rule. A lot of books out there will make you pick if you want to use Canadain or U.S. lines when signing up. 5Dimes won't restrict the Canadian players from betting both, but they sure do limit you.
