good book for futures bets (USA resid) thegreek betjamaica bodoglife 5dimes pinnacle

Hi,

I only bet futures and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for fair future lines. I find that many books have ridiculous odds for future bets, espcially the favorites. For example, bodoglife has UNC hoops at 3 to 2 to win it all which is comical. I am pretty certain you can take UNC in a 6 game ML parlay round by round once the tourney begins and do better than that. I believe when USC beat OSU in football, bodoglife and some other books had them at -500. Any better knows that they coulda have avoided the stress of a regular season upset and still gotten better than -500 on the championship ML alone if they made it.

Anyways, I think thegreek is decent...but does anyone recommend anything better? I am open to the books not listed in the topic of the post. I just put them down so that my message gets seen.

Thank you!

Pinnacle has the lowest juice on futures, when they offer them. They offer less than they used to years ago, but they still offer options on main US Sports.

TheGreek has reasonable juice, and typically has more futures than Pinnacle.

Bodoglife is a chump book when it comes to futures. If you want to see how bad you're getting gauged, use Pinnacle's juice calculator. A discount book like Pinnacle typically offers futures with a hold of 2% per team - so NFL might be 60%-ish for "Super Bowl win", and 10% for MLB divisional win. A retail book like Oly might charge 1.5 to 2 times as much. Chump books are off the chart.

I don't play at BJ or 5Dimes now, but based on my past dealings, I'd expect both of them to offer odds at least as good as Olympic (BJ is a sister book of Olympic).

They often have huge value on season props/win totals.
