If you had to have one online sportsbook, which would it be & why?

[Cruizer]

Hi all,

I'm a recreational bettor with 2 accounts online where i place my bets. I would like your say as to which specific sportsbook offers the most consistent value.

Thanks in advance.

5D with reduced juice

Also have many prop wagers and allows almost any parlay you can think of.

Key for MMA wagering imo.

Pinnacle if you don't live in the US

[john230]

If you live in the US and want early lines and the most options 5 dimes is one of the best.

[Hawkeye2011]

5dimes for options

BetIslands for customer service and payouts

[Sam Odom]

I'm old school , I guess

But bookmaker for USA -- You'll get less heat from them if/when you get on a run & I feel they are $afe

[Darkside Magick]

since you said you a rec bettor......5dimes and/or betislands

[muldoon]

Pinnacle.

But only if you like reduced juice and payouts you can time with a stopwatch.

[Chimneyfish]

Bodog. Squarest lines.

[Attila]

5 dimes? lol, they limited me to 20$

[Ace_of_Spades]

I want Multibet back.

[5mike5]

5dimes by a landslide

[Hareeba!]

Depends to a large degree on what you like to bet on.

I bet on numerous sports and racing and it's a no-brainer question overall - Betfair a clear winner.

But if you're only into US pro. sports - Matchbook is a better option.

If only into football (soccer) then SBO

If you live in the US ... give up the idea or emigrate.

betislands

*fastest payouts
*Great customer service (understands and speaks perfect english)
*outstanding bonuses
*simplistic website easy to navigate
*no run arounds
*prefers US players

* Best book for any player in the US .

Bookmaker..they've been around forever solid as you can find. The feds took their domain name and they didn't miss a beat. If I have to gamble at one book why not gamble at the one that's been around the longest.

[brettels]

For me, best sportsbook is sportsbet.....best exchange is betfair.

Multi/accumulator type bet i do at sportsbet, plus much more bet types available that i like.

For higher odds on single bets betting i do at betfair(they don't always accept so you miss out often). Betfair has a new multi betting in replacement of aus multis available now! It's a max number of 10 selections though.

[Rollins08]

I've probably used about 6 or 7 books, Betislands is the best. Best customer service by far, people knock them for their lack of betting options - sometimes that could be a good thing. They carry all the lines but they don't everything 5dimes has when it comes to that.

USA

Rebatewager

[Roxxyfish]

Stan James for Europe, never had a sportsbook that pays out faster and have a good poker room too

USA 5dimes: same here fast payouts , best customer service

Be relative to the thread shill! It's about which Sportsbook, you yet again have to bring up the exchanges.

[Cuse0323]

I'd go with Bookmaker, don't have to worry about limits or getting paid.

[Fitz030808]

I'd definitely go with 5dimes. You really can't beat the reduced lines promotion. I'm a rec bettor myself so we don't have to worry about being limited. I've read pros get capped there pretty easily.

[Domestic]

Pinnacle, no contest.

Hareeba knows best. He's a highroller, banned at all books but exchanges.

[Harmy G]

There's no way I would list Pinnacle as my one book to have. All of my profit comes from beating Pinnacle's lines at other books.

You know sfa about my betting.

What gives you the right to post lies?

[NY Playa]

Heritage anyone???

That may be your MO but the question of this thread is to name your one book to have. You haven't done that.

Is there any book (apart from exchanges) which overall offers better odds and liquidity than Pinnacle?

[BAUS]

If I could only have 1 book it would be SIA.
