    Sidetracked, it really depends a lot on what you are looking for. Reduced juice? 5 Dimes & BetOnline are the way to go for that. Bet Phoenix also offers -105, but I've been reading some negative pub about them lately. Also, Bet Jamaica, The Greek, Bookmaker, Legends, & DSI all seem to have a general consensus as top tier books. Going with any of them should be rock solid. Also, Bet Islands really seems to be getting some real positive reviews in the early stages so far (100% FP signup bonus).

    Stick to books on the SBR Recommended list and you should be just fine.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    I'm currently using BetOnline and have no complains so far. Solid book although I wish they had more soccer options

    For US players I would only use these 3 books at the current time, this is just my opinion.

    BetIslands - fast payouts, great bonuses, great customer service, a lot of betting options

    Legends - fast payouts, not a lot of exotic options but money will be safe without any worry

    TheGreek - fast payouts, money is safe

    wow, can't believe you would be getting away from bodog for football season. To me they have some of the most unique options there, including their live betting.
    But i guess if you are just a standard player you cant go wrong with betjam or greek

    Greek or 5dimes will have as many betting options as Bodog and they'll pay you faster................I hear Tony at 5dimes will have interesting conversations with you, so that could be a tiebreaker for you

    Bet33.com has opionionated lines, although low on SBR rating, they paid out us stiffed Apex players.

    I am currently playing with them now, if I cash out, I will post how it goes. If it goes anything like how the last payout went, there will be no problem

    Glad to hear that BOL has been good to you. BOL seems to be dragging out payouts to the very limit of what their stated timeframes are. I am one business day away from this last transaction and I am not optomistic. I will post whether I get this small amount in the timeframe they stated.

    Greek/BetJam/5dimes are the ones you want to use.

    BetJamaica and 5Dimes are among the best for US players.
