Stick with 5Dimes or forget the bonuses altogether and open an account at Matchbook and take full advantage of that low vig sir. I would say take avantage of the carib bonus offer, however the sticky bonus is not really all that great IMO.

speak to me. Why isn't the carib bonus that good? I thought of joining bookmaker, but I dont think I have the limits for that place. They apparently take higher action than 50 or 100 a game and I can't afford that.

Freefall..

Join Matchbook. Best lines in the world. You can bet $1 a game if you would like to.

Best deal I've heard of is from skybook, $250 freeplay for a $250 or more deposit, comes with a 6x rollover but definitely worth trying

Thank you!

Well way it normally works is they give ya the 250 freeplay bonus after you deposit your 250 cash and you bet that freeplay like you would a normal bet, if you lose the bet you lose nothing but if you win the bet you have to roll the winnings over 6x before you can withdraw it.

Ex. you deposit 250 and get 250 freeplay, you place the 250 freeplay on a bet at -110 and it wins and pays 227, okay so now your balance is 477 but to withdraw that 227 you won on the freeplay you have to roll the winnings over 6x so 227x6 = 1362 so you need to place 1362 worth of bets before you can withdraw the freeplay winnings

Sticky bonuses are pretty close to cash if you are willing to play your balance on the account aggressively... Most likely you are going to lose your deposit (unless you scalp it out) which is why they aren't a great deal for rec players who just want some extra money to fool around with...

Sounds like Matchbook would be a good fit for you based upon your criteria. Skip the bonus crap since they come with a rollover requrment.

thanks guys. I think I'll post up at skybook/5dimes/matchbook and play with that from there. I appriciate the help.

Do you know more info about skybook BBD? Like if it's valid or still paying?

bettilimbroke999 · 09-04-08, 12:17 PM

Gl2u, I'm gonna try that skybook freeplay as well, even though I haven't played with them in 3 years that lured me back to give em a try again

Joined skybook yesterday for the free half point on football sides but wasn't eligible for the free play since I used a card to deposit

CORRECTION TO WHAT I SAID ABOUT SKYBOOK PROMO EARLIER

I was wrong, it's the freeplay bonus + Deposit amount x6 and it must be rolled over regardless of whether or not you win the freeplay, so before you can request a withdraw you would need to make 3000 worth of bets whether you won the freeplay or not. Also, this bonus is as diogee mentioned earlier only good for ** and ** deposits which they do reimburse transaction fees on BUT the customer pays the fees on **/** payouts, I asked what the fees would be on say a 1000 withdrawal and she said 60 so figure that in to your decision on whether or not to post up at skybook for this promo.

Yeah the bonus isn't valid with any type of card, whether it be cc, debit, or pre-paid. You still get the free half point on sides but the only bonus you can get is a 10% free play or 10% cash depending on how much you deposit. Also they don't give the bonus until you fax in a copy of your id and card you used for verification.

Hey guys I'm a recreational player and my favorite time of year to lose money is here. FOOTBALL!

Either way I've been with bodog, betjam, and now 5dimes. I liked the reduced juice at 5dimes as that saved me money. Either way I'm looking to maximize my deposit. I enjoy a bonus or a reduced line, preferring the reduced line. I dont really like bonuses but hell if there giving it why not take it. I'm around long enough to roll it over.

Either way I'm debating on staying with 5dimes or going somewhere else. The carib bonus seems nice, but not sure if I can trust them yet. Just curious what you guys are thinking. Cheapest lines are important to me, along with fast wd/deposit for US player. Bonus comes next if they dont offer anything else.

Thoughts please. BBD in the house?

5dimes is a great book.
They always pay you and there are so many betting options.
Only problem is they cut my the amount I'm allowed to wager on reduced juice because I was betting big and winning. Now when I bet I have to play the regular lines. It sucks but If I was them I guess I would have to cut me off too.
