    Is Betphoenix up there with 5dimes?

    Would you consider them a top book?

    Heres my two cents, I have been booking with them for three years. They have always paid me within 24 hours they give me five cent juice, and freeplays whenever I'm broke. So I don't see a downside other than lines but I don't shop around much.

    If you are able to play with the top 5 books why even consider or waste time debating these guys?

    I remember seeing a prop bet once at BetPhoenix.

    No, wait. I saw it twice.


    Check that. It was once.

    Just apples and oranges. Play at 5Pennies til they don't like you anymore. Then get a nice bonus and play at Phoenix for a while. Money is safe either way.

    BETJAM/GREEK
    MATCHBOOK
    HERITAGE
    BOOKMAKER/DSI
    5DIMES

    I like phoenix because of reduced juice. like that about 5dimes also. in general, have no complaints about bp, but some of the stuff I see in the forum makes me wonder.

    why fart around with second rate books. figure out a way to get a heritage account. there is a reason they don't advertise here. they don't have to.

    No. 5Dimes has about a 10 year head start for one thing. BP has had a hard year with most of their problems self inflicted. Conversely, 5Dimes is having their best year ever. Of course 5Dimes does not own other businesses so they are not distracted and that gives them a big advantage over BP.

    Is BP in oil exploration?

    BetPhoenix is a good recreational book. Easy to fund, easy to withdrawal. If you play major sports only, it's a good place to play and their soccer lines are also decent as far as availability.

    good value is/was all over the place at this clown book, that's why they had to shut out everyone with a clue.
    Forget this place, their lifespawn is almost over

    5 dimes is a great book for soccer and props as well. I really like the NFL props like Longest TD Over/Under for games

    Phoenix is nice, but 5 Dimes is the best servicing the US customers now IMO

    BetPhoenix has been great.
    Find another book [usa] that gives 5ct lines and high limits?
    5Dimes is overrated. Too many silly rules you get stuck with for a lifetime.
    Lot of options at 5 dimes, but more expensive wagering.

    BP by a landslide!

    Betphoenix shouldn't even be mentioned in the same thread as 5dimes. Betphoenix has limited betting options. Betphoenix takes longer to get a payout. I could go on and on. 5dimes is a 9 on a 1-10 scale Betphoenix is a 5

    well I hear they have improved on payouts but I stick to my claim about them having limited betting options.

    Lose high amounts of money at sportsbooks and they will contact you. That's the way I was told you get in to Heritage. So in other words they like big money losers.
