I currently use wsex but I would like to have another online book to use so Im considering BetJamaica and Bookmaker. Which would you recommend? Also, I'll put you down as a refferer if you sell me on either. Thanks for the help.

Depends on how much you'll be betting. Lines tend to move a lot more on bookmaker. The loyalty points are better on bookmaker if you are thinking long-term. Total limits on NBA at BETJM are 1000. I like the initial BETJM bonus better, but they're both pretty good. I never check early NBA lines, but I am guessing they have their lines out sooner. BETJM is closed midnight until 9AM EST (I think). Bookmaker has a lot more props. BETJM should have quicker payouts. Probably a little better on customer service. If you're very serious and want to bet higher amounts I'd go with bookmaker, otherwise BETJM will be a solid book for you.

Bookmaker suck for me. I open account with them 1k they offer me 20% freeplay. Then I got up to 3k I call and ask them for free withdraw they told me that I'm not qualified for it and charge me $60 for withdraw.
Meanwhile I also make 1k deposit into legendz and they give me withdraw for free 1 a month.
best way to do it clear all the cash bonus you can get.
List of good site with 20% cash bonus.

#2 Bet Jamaica
#3 Lengendz
#4 Pig
those 4 very solid and good rating.
Then you can get 10% bonus with reduce juice.
#5 5 Dimes
#6 Betonline
Matchbook is solid for Less Less juice straight bet. ( Only good for big games IMO)

If I had to choose between the two choices your considering. I go with BetJamaica.
[iSBRFORUM]BetJamaica[/iSBRFORUM] is more of a recreation book and does offer nice reload bonuses, however since they are a recreational book they could cut your limits. They don't offer a live chat service, but they do answer their emails within 5-10 minutes. The banking options aren't the greatest out there (vastly improved in the past month though), but nobody's are these days for U.S. customers, however they also offer one free payout via Fedex per calender month (min. $200), and $35 flat fee after (receive checks within 3-4 days). The lines they offer are very competitive with most other books IMO.
I'm going to assume that you're just a recreational player. If you are, I would go with Betjam. They don't have overnights, but they have much better bonuses. You're more likely to get reload bonuses and freeplays, and they have free payouts. Customer service is great and they don't call you all the time like Bookmaker does.

I'd go with BOL or 5D and take the 10% bonus plus reduced juice (-105). Sure you can get the 20% one-time bonus with the -110 places, but the extra juice will kill you over time. Forced to pick one, it's 5-Dimes for me (free transfers).
As for the referral bonus, give it to SBR--they earn it every day.

Bet Jamaica is my choice here because the payouts are much quicker and you get a free fed ex check for over $200 which cannot be matched by many in the business currently.

If you were more serious, you would probably know if you wanted bookmaker. I do love the bookmaker phone application though! Do any of you know of other books with programs for your phone to make bets?
