If I remember correctly isnt their MLB 20cent lines? If that is true I dont see how they are the best option. Ill stick with 5D and BI.

Have to agree here. Their lines are not the best. But they are clearly the best book left for US customers after Greek and Matchbook left.
I laugh at people who say 5dimes is good....they will limit you if you win like 10k there.

right SBR's resident professional sharp who never posts plays but will brag about how successful a gambler he is to the internet
The only thing 5Dimes will limit is their reduced juice from the standard $500 to $250. The standard -110 lines with their 5/10k limits won't be cut ever
If you're a professional big timer like vyomguy with a 7 figure account and bet 10k a game flat -110, then bookmaker is your book
Otherwise 5Dimes and it's not even close

1> I do post plays every week...not in separate threads but in comments
2> I never claimed to be a "professional" or a "sharp"
3> You have no clue about 5dimes. The limits will be cut to $100 if you are up lifetime for at-least 10k-20k there. Of course, you wouldn't know this because you never win. If you are a losing gambler, it doesn't matter where you play.
4> Get a life.

Just to shut up this idiot sundae in the future....what is this dumb ass?
You bet 10k a game, so why are you fiddling with $500 reduced 5Dimes limits? 5D is the only US book with reduced. It's defined as a bonus with small limits when you first sign up. It isn't a right you're guaranteed to. To cry about limiting to $100 from $500 for a 10k big timer like yourself is completely laughable
Yep a losing gambler like myself with multiple losing season threads. Wait, not quite
I dont win every game you know?....I dont have a magic wand to pick 100% winners
The point of discussion was that I never post picks here...which I proved you wrong.

Does what is written in this thread really go into your head?...or you babble words out of your ass?
I never said anything about their -110 lines or their limits of $500. You can bet $500 on every game...and if you are up 10k-20k, you will be kicked out...even if you bet $50 there per game. They want losers there...not winners.
I played there like anyone who visits SBR which claims it to be A+. After playing there, you will realize the truth.

they are a great book. I have been with them for years. I have never had a problem with one of my four sportsbooks that have an A or B rating at SBR. None of them are perfect and if anyone tells you there is one book that will meet every criteria for every sports better, then I call BS. Some guys will complain from anything from "their minimum deposit is $50 and how that's too much" to "their lines are horrible" at every chance.
There is no argument at all here. No other book is remotely close. When the shit came down, these guys didn't run and hide or make excuses, they just flat paid out like normal. In the face of the worst possible adversity they came through for their players. I read a lot about this book, and that book, and this new book, and so on and so on. What I am curious to know is what is going to happen to those books when Big Brother comes knocking on their door. You have to wonder, will they pay you and handle your money the way BM and family did? At least you know when the shit went down BM had your back.

Respectfully disagree I will give you Bookmaker but 5 dimes and Betislands are better than every other book you have there.

People will always find issues with these guys,but given the amount of volune they handle,they are good.
An underrated horse book with solid rebates & lightning quick grading of races is another plus

Hi. Can someone tell me what are my best options in terms of withdrawal or payouts from Bookmaker? I am in the US.
I am thinking of withdrawing about 1k (about 1/3 of my account)
Thanks

This just isn't true. Many players (myself included) have had their limits cut at 5 Dimes across the board on every single betting option they offer.
My betting limits at 5 Dimes are set at 20% of the normal limits on all wagers. Those 1000-1 and up wagers they offer, the MAXIMUM I can wager is $1 ($5 normal limits).

Bookmaker just pays and j agree they are the best for USA customers.
However, their liver wagering is suspect.

My Bookmaker account isn't even funded currently, that's how low I think of them. 20 cent baseball lines plus rape fees on wires and Book transfers makes them a poor choice for me. Heritage, BetIslands and 5-Dimes are my top 3 US Books. Honorable mention goes to BetUSA (not to be confused with BetUs) and VegasVic.

Are they ever coming back to the SBR Store?
I see them for new accounts.
I don't like their deposit/withdrawal options but if they pay and have high limits that's as good as it's going to get in the U.S.

What happens when one or several of these books gets their url siezed, or loses money because of processor issues? At least you know with Bookmaker you will get paid all the same. They walked the walk. You dont have to worry about being another BOS, BETED, TILT, AP/UB, type of victim. Stars like Bookmaker also showed they were responsible with their members money too.

You failed to mention that when 5dimes got hosed by their AC* processor a month ago they made good on it to all that never received their payout, myself included. They deposited the funds back into players accounts about 3 weeks after their processor was claiming to have sent the funds. Withdrew via another method and got my money. 5dimes ate that money and walked the walked. That needs to be commended.

Bookmaker has always been solid - but their marketing/sales/CS disconnect is maddening at times.
