      Nice list - A lot depends what your are looking for in a book. Thats why this site is so informative. I rarely bet teasers, props, parlays, live in game wagers, Non US major sports. So a lot of the thing other people look for are not important to me. For me Reduced Juice, Financial stability, and ease of $ in and out is important.

      My favorites on the list
      5Dimes reduced juice 5% and financialy stable never had a issue
      Matchbook they have the best lines, issues about their financial condition causes me to limit exposure and not leave large balances there (easy to transfer from 5 Dimes) but I play there a lot
      Heritage best customer service 7% juice not bad but prefer 5% or less.
      Rebate Wager had an interesting business model and I may try especially if they get an exchange.

      On the list I would not touch:
      BetPhoenix - not in business a long times and issues around their financial condition and website security as well as a lot of documented complaints.
      SIA - I had an account years ago and had some issues with them a lot of complaints in past, I guess they are trying to come back
      Bodog - I had an account there full juice and payment problems in the past as well, they sent me 3 bounced checks in the past.


      Does Greek, Legends, or Bookmaker offer reduced juice?

              You wonder if this how the marketing meetings at matchbook go
              "So Mr ***** how much should we spend on advertising"

              "Well how much are we spending now ?"

              "not sure let me review"

              1)Banner at Kenny's (RIP)..well we all know what that cost with the credit line
              2)poster Fishead...FREE How can you beat that
              3)Word of mouth in forumville

              "So should we send Dozer and Willhiiem money this year".....eh why bother and try and make this site the best exchange on the planet,We can't compete with Betfair so what the use
              beside we get all the free advertising we need with posters"

              Sad they don't even try.Even with out any marketing $ being spent they should at least say it's a private club and create a "Heritage Buzz"

              Great list Fish,I would put Grande higher but my agent is Thursday AM bright and early

                  Good post. And good list Fish.

                  As a poster already said it depends on what you are looking for. Try a few if you are not sure. If you roll anything large you should seriously stay with A+ books. We get guys writing in after hitting a hot run and are suddenly up 40 dimes and ask 'will I get paid?'. Of course we say which book? If its a Bookmaker.com we are happy to tell them of course you will. But a lot of guys go for some kind of hook and join a questionable book and then go on the run of their life only to find out the book has deleted everything and swears they neber heard of them.

                          TheGreek does not take much pro action during baseball season...........however, TheGreek is a top shop for professionals, you're correct.


                          Lots of excellent REC books........and Heritage would indeed be in that group(this is not to say they don't attract pros, because they certainly do).

                            Greek will take pro action if you want their juiced baseball lines
                            Majority of players will like any SBR Book on top of page

                                                      Now, like Pinnacle, they are not servicing U.S. clients any longer and would not be included at all in such ratings.

                                                          Look at Fish's post above mine--- you know---the one dated JANUARY 14TH 2011!

                                                          See it? Nice Sherlock.
