Honestly, I'm not a sportsbook gambling expert. I've been betting online since I was 18 (about 6 years) and I've mostly used Bodog. For some reason, after 3 CC transactions from my **** DC in a couple of days, my bank started to question the transactions and asked what they were. They charged back the transactions. I had around $1200 in the account at the time, and they charged back $1500 worth. Bodog closed my account even though I told them it wasn't me who initiated the chargebacks and told them I'd even send them the negative $300 via person to person.

So at that time, I looked around and found WagerWeb.com. I've had no BIG problems with wagerweb, I've always been paid, the only real problems with them that I have is that their juice is really high. I look at other books and see something like -110 for a game and then its -125 or -130 on wagerweb. They just seem to charge more juice than any other book I see regardless of the type of bet.

I've actually hit some really good luck and got my account up to around $15,000 and am starting to get it off wagerweb. It should take a while, I can only withdrawal 3000 at a type via cashier's check and I am still waiting for the tracking number on the first 3,000. I would imagine its going to take 2-3 months to get it all out, assuming I don't win a lot more or lose a lot more.

My question is, for a US player, what is the best books to look into? If everyone could give me their top 5, that would be great. I really like football and basketball teasers, so website with really good teasers would be ideal.

I really liked bodog because they had 3 team 8 point basketball teasers that I was really good at. I seemed to rarely lose them in college basketball, and their 3 team 10 point football teasers were good as well on my bankroll.

Any input at all would be fantastic. I know there are some US books right now that are considering leaving the US market all together so I hope I can find one that is very solid and won't leave the US. I just recently found this site and I come on here all of the time just to read from those who know a lot more about this industry than I do currently.

Thank you very much,

-Joe

I should also mention that wagerweb just doesn't have many lines. That is another reason I want off of their website. Their lines come out really late and sometimes I need to place bets before I go to work as I won't be home til after they start and I can't put gambling stuff on my corporate computer.

But they don't offer nearly as many lines as bodog and I'm not really too sure of other books out there, but hopefully I can get some good insight based on my preferences I have outlined.

Thanks!

Look at the SBR A-rated books and decide which one(s) best meets your needs depending on what's important to you (openers, limits, props, free payouts, etc.)

Greek, Bookmaker, BetJM, 5Dimes are a good start.

You shouldn't have let your account get up to 15 grand at Wagerweb. I'd be worried if it was me.

do you really think I'm in trouble? They say they're sending $3,000 to me fedex right now... Hopefully they continue to send it...

Join bethorizon.com they r owned by heritage now!! U just dont get in the contest!!

I really don't know as I haven't played there in years. I thought they were a decent book back then but seems a lot has changed since then. I do know they are rated D- here at SBR.

[michael_li]

Yeah it looks like its a regular advice not to let your balance go up in any book specially how dangerous it can be, I started using betphoenix and betrevolution for a while and then dropped betphoenix bc of all the bad payouts and post they are getting in SBR, so now Im just staying with betrevolution and pinnacle, loving both of them I just wish european soccer starts sooner!

I recommend Bet Islands. They are a book that is on the come. Don't join some flailing book that is barely surviving. I think you'd be happy with Bet Islands.
