    what is the WORST A or B rated Sportsbook?
    In my opinion it has to be Interwetten.

    1) They charge you to deposit money. So whether you're a punter or a sharp, you're out like 1% or whatever just for depositing. Thanks guys

    2) There's a CHARGE if your bet PUSHES! In some sports more than others this happens OFTEN, and can really be costly. I mean come on guys, thats greasy

    3) Weird limits. They explained to me once that it was relative to how much you deposit. I put on like $200 and they wouldn't let me bet more than $45 per bet. I'm a grown up I don't need my bankroll babysat.


    I'd like to hear from everyone else. What book with a fairly solid rating is just the shits in your opinion?

    Bodog. With double dealing lines, slowpay ect. It is most certainly the worst a/b book.

                    i love everything about bovada, but their payouts. took 4 weeks to get my check. i know processors now can be a bitch, but really? they won't do ** at all unless you said them 1,000+. and being a mofo who only deposits 50 or so at a time, thats not gonna happen

                      Never played with BOL (and never will of course..) but from reading these forums, they are by far the worst A or B book.

                          The first two. 5 Dimes is one of the best.

                              Hate is a strong word.. but there is plenty wrong with a few top tier books

                              5Dimes - worst customer service
                              Betonline - slowest website known to man!
                              Legends - win one time and never get a bonus again..very rec book.. vanilla lines anyway
                              Pinnacle - best book in world but doesn't accept USA should mean downgrade compared to books who take the needed risks to service clientele

                                Gotta disagree on Pinny. A book gets a rating based on performance. It performs very well all around and deserves the highest rating.

                                If you are a winning bettor and that is your only source of income then get out of the US anyway. Having to pay taxes on gambling winnings is -EV

                                    Wow this is unreal. I have never heard of a book that did these thing. They must pay SBR a lot of cheese to be rated anything higher then a D for this shit.

                                        Bodog is a garbage book at this point, and I don't understand how they are an A.. Betonline is also a joke. While 5dimes has terrible customer service, I can agree for the most part with them being an A book.

                                                  Plenty of 5 dimes haters. Sure their CS is not the best, but that is one sold book. Been playing there for 9 months and hands down the best book I have used out of 6. Low minimums, liberal parlay rules, great racebook, overnight lines, etc.

                                                          Charge you to deposit, charge you to push, charge you to win...

                                                          Sounds like they just charge you, no sportsbook here.

And then move hte lines favoring the house while juicing it the other direction. lol. Heritage is what i primarily use, betislands is good too. Heritage's delivery of customer service requires patience but the only solid thing is that they are solid with payouts.
