    Which book is the safest??

    Have played a lot in the past at 5Dimes, SportsInteraction, BetPhoenix,, joined InterTops but have not deposited
    there yet..

    Which of these books appears the safest to deal with?? Going to put up some money in one of them..

    any book that doesn't accept US players would be "the safest"....that list is really weak, 5D would be the best

    I have to agree with what the_situation just said. Many books are getting hits from the US government. If you are in the US I would say bodog, but if something happens like the US government is after them which most likely they are I feel then it's a risk factor. If you are not from the US many UK books are safe such as ladbrooks.

    Good question. I'd say Betjamaica. I can't even find a valid complaint against betjamaica where a player claims he was screwed over.

    The US government is after most or all of them. Just go to beted.com, fulltiltpoker.com, pokerstars.com, and many many other gambling website whether it's casino, sports, or poker. The US government will seized their domain names, banks, and possible fund if they can.

    Never heard of BetJam complaints either.

    Pinny is probably the safest book in the industry, if you can play there.

    I would stick to large successful sportsbooks, that have an intention of paying regardless of what type of hit the U.S. government wants to inflict on them.

    they may be well intentioned in that regard but if the US manages to confiscate or freeze their bank accounts they may as well be stiffs

    As said, if you can, choose pinny. I have also played with intertops and had no negative experience there. Just a little week odds.
