Second book for casual/recreational bettor

I've been with Bodog for a while, and while I love the lines I get with dogs, they are ridiculously slow releasing their lines.

I've been wanting to open a second account with someone else for a while. I took a look at BetJam, but don't really like their software. Right now, I'm considering DSI and BetPhoenix.

Any other recommendations? Yea or nay to those two? I'd like lines released the night before the games, reliable options for both deposits and payments, decent live betting options, nice bonus for sign-up -- you know, the usual.

I'm not a high roller by any means -- just like to place small wagers to make games more exciting. Enjoy the handicapping as much as the actual betting.

Presumably you are in the US so can't use the best books?

If you're only recreational, perhaps 5Dimes is the one for you.
But before accepting their bonus, check what that does to your ability to access their low juice lines. Any serious bettor would pass on the bonus for the low juice.

DSI is good but if you make halftime bets I'd pass. Their site gets hammered during halftime of big games and they can't handle the traffic.

Intertops
YouWager

Both books will not fuk with your winnings, so you'll get paid within a week or less.

bet jamica, 5 dimes?

**Stumpage** · 11-29-10, 06:54 AM

I'd suggest the Greek, though Live betting options there are limited to say the least.....

Best recreational book is Betjam IMO

**BestPlay2day** · 11-29-10, 07:21 AM

I think BetJamaica is the best, but you can't go wrong with BetPhoenix or DSI either. Maybe open more than 1 book as you should have a few books to compare and get the best line you can on a game.

5Dimes has the best live betting options for U.S. players and they are excellent for small wagers.

BP is not a good option. Sometimes it takes so long for your wager to be processed the line changes and you have to start over. If you are trying to get a 2nd half bet in there will be times that you cant get it in because the line will change and change before you get your wager processed. I have given up on even attempting to place 2nd half bets at this site.

Guardian 105 club. Lower limits {500 max} and stale lines but 105 juice and I've always got paid when requested.

**jgilmartin** · 11-29-10, 11:52 AM

5Dimes is a very good book for the player betting smaller amounts. As Hareeba mentioned, make sure you choose the reduced juice option (up to $500) instead of taking a bonus. It will be a lot more profitable in the long run.

+1 for Sports Interaction, it has a great layout and nice promotions at the start of the NFL season... They sent me a scratch card this year and if the Colts hadn't screwed me I would have had a free $500

5dimes, bookmaker

**onetrickpony** · 11-29-10, 03:38 PM

i started out with bodog, but 5dimes is the shit

**notsosharp** · 11-29-10, 06:02 PM

sports interactionj is a good book.

**BChrisB** · 11-29-10, 06:35 PM

Here's one the nobody has mentioned but JustBet is really good, and especially great for recreational. There are rated B+ here, but probably should be an A.

**SCRAGGS** · 11-29-10, 06:46 PM

get a fukin local.

**firedawg** · 11-29-10, 06:53 PM

5 dimes is best option

I'm would definitely suggest 5 dimes, for the reduced juice alone. Plus while not ascetically pleasing, their site is very fast and easy to navigate. Bookmaker and TheGreek are the other I really like, but if a casual bettor could only pick one, I'd suggest Dimes. Reduced juice, easy t use.

**Fieldysnuts44** · 11-29-10, 08:59 PM

I have played at Bodog for 5-6years and recently opened accts at other books,I really like 5Dimes. I also have accts at DSI and BetJam but I really like 5Dimes.

**Thremp** · 11-30-10, 03:59 PM

Bet Phoenix slowpays on the reg. SBR shills for them. Std.

**LostBankroll** · 11-30-10, 04:05 PM

5dimes no question about it. I would also suggest BetPhoenix. But if you do choose them, use the OLD VERSION of their software its uch better.

This is the correct answer. You say you like Bodog's dog prices, then you will like SIA's lines even more.

**simplydusty** · 11-30-10, 07:42 PM

5dimes with the reduced juice.
