    They're my first recommendation to anybody looking for their first book.

    Don't have a lot of exotics, props, or non-American sports, and -110 lines, but if you're just looking to have some fun and make bets on regular American sports and trust that your money is safe there's no better.

    Only drawback, no more DC payout since May. Payout was in account by morning at 7 am if requested over night.

    for me the only drawback was limiting, otherwise it is a sportsbook with an exceptional service

    The worst soccer book there is. No spreads or totals=no point of playing there.

    I play there and have made the swith to there about 2 years ago... I find that unlike other book, the lines come out a little later... Like yesterday and today the ML's for NCAAB didn't come out till around 10 or so. I live on the east coast so I do understand that everyone in the world is not up at the time I am up and ready for action.

    The other thing is the over the customer service. They are always great to me when talking to them but the phones they use over there make my phones echo and it is hard to hear them. It is not my phone cuz i have used cell phone, land line, and voice over ip phones... And when you go into the live chat, it is very hard to get someone right away.

    With having said that, I have never been slow played, they great my withdrawls within 60 mins or so, and i get a free bet every hundred bets. Plus they gave me a free $25 bet for the superbowl.

    They are the best in my opinion.

    I'll let you know soon enough. Just started using it recently. They have insta debit so that's good enough for me.

    I guess you are right.....I do have one complaint. Sometimes the live chat is not available. Usually late at night or early in the morning (eastern time) there is no one there. But talking to CS on the phone is actually pretty pleasant, and all the reps are very nice....so it's not the end of the world.

    More for amateurs, but otherwise great for the most part for the main sports and doing more and more every year. Greek is similar but the pro version of BetJM.

    BetJam's my favorite by far, though my knowledge of multiple books is still somewhat limited.

    Just wish they'd take CC deposits without having to jump through hoops. For that, I wish I'd joined a long time ago.

    They will limit you quick if you go on a big winning streak as happened to me, or close your account all together and send you to Thegreek as has happened to others.

    The main positive is that you never get the runaround on payouts, they dont stall you, keep your funds in your account or any of the other mickey mouse crap that goes on with most of the others,JMO.

    In most everyone's top three over the past 8+ years if they are a U.S. punter.................

    One of the best books in the history of offshore gaming.

    Drawbacks for me: Seldom post boxing lines. In general, not many betting options.
    Besides that, one of the best books all around. Your money is safe, quick payments, even a few gifts, as the birthday one. One of the best for MLB.

    BetJM is the best out there, not as much option to wager on like bookmaker. I feel very safe placing my money there.

    Betjamaica is a solid book. Live customer service is excellent. The only drawback is that they have no poker. It says poker in the main menu but im not sure what they are doing? Its been like 3+ yrs since its been there and nothing yet. But when i go for books, I like the ability to play a lil poker sometime

    They would be the first book I would recommend to someone new to betting offshore. Great customer service, free and fast payouts, and very safe and secure.
