    Going pro today. Which book out of these?
    Which book do you guys suggest I fund keeping in mind I primarily bet MMA.
    I would have liked to go pro with 5dimes but I created an account with them a while ago but tried to deposit with a CC which didn't work. Other than that I already have funded accounts with bookmaker and Bodog.

    Out of the remaining books which of these books are best for wagering on mixed martial arts. Early lines would be nice and I would like the option to parlay. Props would be nice too but not necessary.


    I was just going to donate to a charity to go pro but decided to contribute some cash to Ron Paul's presidential campaign instead.

    Would a mod please link this to the MMA section? I might get more of a response there.

      Damn, second page and no responses. What is Sportbet like? Do they offer free payouts and parlay options for MMA?

        Fund everyone of them. The more books you have, the better odds you get.

          I like BetIslands. I've heard nothing but good things in the past 6 months (I signed up about a month ago). Haven't tried to cashout yet. but I like them.

            Pinnacle has low juice for MMA. Sometimes some great underdog lines also.

              I'm not hardcore enough to have that many accounts funded because I'm too busy these days. If I had hours to research fights every week I'd consider funding more. Also, having moved from Australia where gambling is regulated I have found dealing with offshore books to be a major pain in the ass for the most part.

                    Question: If I already have a 5dimes account can I go pro through Sportbet? I ask because they are owned by the same company right?

                        Love the Tank Abbott avatar. Did you see that backyard fight he had recently? They both gassed so hard
                        You can watch it here: http://www.nowpublic.com/sports/tank...l-2856093.html

                        I'd get my ass handed to me by most amateurs never mind pro fighters. I've trained a good amount of Judo so my grappling isn't terrible but my striking isn't much better than your average street thugs.

                                Oh crap yeah it is too. I just looked up his record and holy crap he actually fought three times this year. I'm somewhat surprised he is still alive never mind fighting.

                                I thought you were being sarcastic with the pro fighting thing.

                                      Nope, didn't know where you were from. You had it listed above as an option.

                                            Lou has said the opposite when I asked for confirmation very recently, and I've seen more than a few others say it too.

                                            I would double check if i was you before you get stuck with money in an account you didn't want and still aren't pro qualified. Like I think ttwarrior ended up when he tried this.

                                              They won't let you.

                                                Bet Islands. I don't mind Legendz, but for the life of me I do not know what they do well.

                                                  Over a week after I initially intended I finally submitted my pro application today. Its much harder going pro when you already accounts at a few books. I went with Betislands. Thanks for the advice people.
