    Thoughts on these B (B-, B, B+) rated books
    youwager
    carib
    horizon
    IAS
    intertops

    Please share thoughts regarding these books that either separate the book for good or bad reasons (e.g., don't play there, good parlay odds, fast payouts, bad CS)

      I only play at A+ books. There is a reason the books you mentioned have a B or worse grade. I trust Walker and his crew.

        So if a book is against advertising at SBR it automatically disqualifies them of being a top book?

        Everyone knows Heritage is an A book.

          I never had a problem getting a payout from the A+ books. There is no need for me to venture in unknown territories by betting at B or worse books. The A+ books pay me fast and have the best lines for me to wager on. When you are used to driving a Porche or a Mercedes you don't want to drive a Mitsubishi.

            I use SportBet, which is graded with a B and I have only had one problem with a bet getting graded wrong. with that problem, it was fixed within 24 hours. Their customer service is also pretty good and helpful when they need to be contacted. I have also used the book since I opened the acct over 1 year ago.

            No major problems and deserves an A range grade.

                This
                and I can not complain with Just bet
                Limits are low but if you call and talk to them you can get them raised unless your a steam chaser
                but they pay fast
                and Horizon is ok if you need a 6 through 10 out

                  Hi IED,

                  Sportbet was upgraded to 'A' when 5dimes acquired them and sister book IslandCasino.

                    There is a good argument that SIA is underrated. It mostly comes from players who know about lineshopping and appreciate the chance to pop a recreational lineset. SIA's service in general has improved each of the last 2 years.

                        id give SIA a go again. Back in april they were the first to release a line on a mma fight, the dog was +330. I deposited, went all in on the dog and 2 months later when it cashed I had no issue getting it all out the next day. However, when it comes to actual mma lines, with the exception of that one time, they have the worse lines.

                              Yeah but how long will that last until they either 1) move you to sharp lines or 2) toss you out

                              ???????????????????????

                                Really? ... So you don't believe in having at least 2-3 books to shop lines??

                                  Youwager is very good on payouts and posts their share of opinionated lines

                                    i don not consider youwager a second rate book, you win they pay and pay fast, their telemarketers a bush league , but overall i consider them in the A league

                                      All of them, including SIA, are B for a reason. None are in that elite group of A"s. Pretty much all of those sites are very quick to limit you.

                                          Horizon,Carib and Youwager are solid books.I like Horizon the best.

                                          Intertops and Justbet are vanilla books IMHO with little to offer

                                          Instantaction has had some issues in the past which I would rather not deal with.

                                          SIA is fine...

                                            Bodog, 5dimes, and some other books on the A list are VERY fast to limit you.

                                                  Been with Carib for years and never really had any major issues with them. They are a solid book. Always have paid on time.

                                                    Forget about Youwager. I went on livechat with them yesterday. I couldn't find the banking section on there site for deposits and payouts. So I went on live chat, the girl couldn't even answer a simple question..........Where is your banking section on your homepage. She needed to transfer me to a guy named Kevin. He did not want to answer my question until I gave him my first and last name which I provided. Then I asked the question again.....Where is your banking section on your homepage. Then he wanted my full address and phone# then he will answer the question.....I was thinking to myself F--OFF....and I left the chat. Can't even answer a simple question....I am not going to give my info to them over livechat then they can spam me with emails and phone calls. F--THEM.

                                                        SiA has been a great experience for me in the past. Never had any problems and was treated fairly.

                                                          B isn't a bad rating..I've never had a problem with B books and plenty of value at some C books

                                                            SIA is vastly underrated. Never had a single problem with them in the last 3-4 years. Sometimes they have really good dog lines. Even just for that you should have an account.

                                                                      However...i believe people should have a their majority of money in an A book like Pinnacle...small amounts of money in B books to line shop.
