        They use that (we have high limits crutch ) to keep the lines like that.

            Yep, absolutely awful for Soccer. By playing Soccer at Bookmaker you would be practically throwing money in the garbage bin.

            I play at Pinnacle and SBOBet for Soccer, best odds, best limits, both offer Asian Handicaps for all games and SBOBet has a huge selection of in-play wagering for Soccer games available.

            5Dimes and BetPhoenix are pretty decent for Soccer. Some decent reduced juice lines available.

                      They've not actually got a rating on SBR but many posters have mentioned that this is a top sportsbook on a few different topics in the Sportsbook/Industry section. Recently, I deposited some money into there to see for myself and I have to agree that its a great book. I've only heard good things about SBOBet on here. Not sure why SBR doesn't assign them a rating.

                      They offer the same excellent reduced juice (or better) as Pinnacle for Soccer Asian Handicaps. They have very high limits and offer a huge amount of games for live-in-play wagering. They pay quickly as well, I received a Moneybookers payment from them in just 3 hours. They offer a lot of variety as well, they actually offer more Soccer leagues/divisions than Pinnacle. They offer 3rd division in Norway/Sweden, Australian state leagues and small, obscure European leagues (such as Belarus).

                      I've found them to be a great book to use for Soccer.

                        SBOBet does not allow players based out of the USA, that's probably why no-one around here gives a shit

                        ...just a thought, Sportslover, and why do I get the feeling you work for them, for some reason? Praisin em left and right.

                        And to the thread creator, yeah Bookmaker is garbage when it comes to soccer betting, I (like most of you) use Bookmaker only for large wagers on CBB, CFB, NBA, and NFL. Nothing else.

                          CRIS has always been garbage.

                          They are safe, like Bank of America.

                            That's unfortunate, I didn't think that Asian bookies banned players from the USA. That surprises me, I thought Asia was one of the few areas where Sportsbooks allowed anybody to play...

                                thanks sportslover and srbi, good to know.

                                now I am using sportsinteraction and bookmaker, both got horrible odds. now 5dimes is the only one I am thinking to go. (as for the greek, the lines read too weird; as for betphoenix, don't the interface.)

                                  Bookmaker on non-major sports ... one of the worst, nothing new there. If you play tennis or soccer there, you'll choke on their chalk.

                                          Haha, that is laughable. I don't work for any bookmaker.

                                          I praise Pinnacle and SBOBet because they deserve it. Simple as that.

                                          If Bookmaker, The Greek, Legends and so on started offering 8 or 10 cent lines for Asian Handicaps in Soccer then I would be praising them too.

                                          I had no idea that SBOBet banned American based players as I don't live there so I wouldn't know.

                                          Anyway, believe whatever you want, it makes no difference.

                                                betphoenix is good for soccer, especially for americans. what i dont like about them is that they have late lines, and only 1 line for small leagues

                                                  They do not want soccer action

                                                  They are not experienced enough for soccer

                                                    Their odds are pretty terrible on most sports.

                                                            Seems as though Bookmaker caters for American Sports than well Soccer. Those odds are garbage. Plus the options are ridiculously awful.

                                                              Not their cup of tea, I guess, so they're scared of big action.

                                                                You can throw the greek in as well their soccer lines are worse. At least with bookmaker you can pick off an occasional MLS line early.
