    I went to Cascade's site for fun. I laughed when I clicked on "old history" in upper right to see what came up and it went to an error page.

    I would try to forget too.

    Hellll no. Bad lines. Late lines. Even more than usual limited deposit methods. Limits collars quicker than most. But they do pay and they have the best website software bar none. That's not enough for me tho

    It will be funny to see how that list looks in another 5 years.

    I hope there are more good books out there in 5 years. It's better to have more choices. Would be nice to see 10 great books for US. More options for players. Now some books are like sticking to a job you dont like cause you need it. They piss you off but since you dont have other good options you keep playin with them.

    It differs on the playing style...for medium stake EU players, there are a lot of good bookies for example

    and then for any stake EU players you have Betfair and Pinnacle, and you are done.

    I'm afraid the situation for US plaers will not markedly improve until the government realize how much money they can make off of online gambling licenses and taxes and legalize it.

    The only place I trust is Pinnicle. If you arent getting PIN lines, dont even bother.
    SIA for small bets (just cuz I'm Canadian)... I wouldnt leave a large balance there tho.

    Sport betting is illegal in every state of USA except las Vegas. It is illegal to bet online and with bookies. You might bet with a friend as long as there is no bookie in the middle. The use of the bookie make it illegal. You also can bet in certain cruises or ships as long as you are 3 miles offshores. It is consider a misdemeanor outside of las Vegas. Even calling someone in las Vegas to take your bet is illegal as not telephone or internet may be used to place bets outside of Las Vegas. Why 15 millions of americans bet even though it is illegal? because illegal betting hasn't been a priority of the goverment, the police force or any other institution in the country. Besides it it was legal the numbers of american betting would probably be 150 millions not 15. Should you bet? If you are young and want to work in workplaces where a measdemeanor will affect your chances of being hire you might consider avoid betting. Yes the chances of getting caught are very low, but your chances of winning in the long run are even lower. The statute of limitation for illegal betting is 1 year. So if you stop betting now in 12 month you are innocent of all counts even if you get caught.

    I would put betdsi in there too but I know they are a part of bookmaker so I guess the list looks good too me. Maybe there are a few others like Betislands but the ones that are listed are ones that seem to definitely pay when you win. And we know that is extremely important.

    Never any issues with Pinnacle, Matchbook, or 5Dimes; however, I haven't used 5Dimes in over a year.

    Pinnacle payouts in less than 5 minutes, Matchbook approximately 2 hours to an e-wallet
