So August is upon us - which means Football soon - which means I said I'd take the bait this month on this 'Pro' title as charity for all the hardworking ownership at SBR central to make some $$.

I need some guidance on the best way to proceed from guys who either know or have a strong opinion regarding the safest book to open a new account with for U.S. players in light of all the recent buyouts and legal issues.

The questions I need answered between ease of use and deposits/withdrawals are as follows:

1) Which is easiest to deposit with using 'M---G' or ' W----U'

2) I know 5 Dimes covers fees over $300 or so, what about Legends?

3) Which offers most reliable payout by CHECK? I'll withdraw probably every other month so do both offer the '1 free check every 30 days' or is there a flat/% fee for U.S. checks?

4) Which offers the best priced lines and earliest postings for upcoming games as far as football season goes?

5) Lastly, does it matter which book as far as speed of processing SBR Pro application? Or will it take just as long regardless?

1. M - G (fees are less)
2. Covers fees on $200 or up
3. Tie, both are top notch on payouts

Thanks pal!

When's it being announced? I was gonna try and get things setup next week while I've got time to devote to it without all the usual clutter going on. Maybe we'll get a good year outta that slang-mouthed mo-fo this season

[RudyRuetigger]

should be announced next week. no sense picking 1 now, seeing where its at, then having to deposit another 50 at that shop. id just cover it all at 1 time with a BTP deposit

[ngates815]

I'd have some money at 5 Dimes no matter if that's where BTP is at or not.

Can't go wrong with that book.

Good point. Or maybe they'll tie in some form of new Pro vs Pro re-ups deal to coincide with the contest. Discounted $$ for all Pros who return and some perks for new Pros to sign up through it.....but I'm not holding my breath on that type of marketing

[itchypickle]

I'm strongly leaning that way - 85% decided but keeping an open mind for any info otherwise.

[NYER5680]

Agree with Rudy wait for BTP.

[Pew Pew]

Who or what is BTP?

[itchypickle]

Who or what is BTP?

Beat the Prick - it's a yearly contest where you try and out cap 'the prick' who is a nice, eloquent speaking fitness guru looking fellow who will cheer you on as you try and defeat him for a prize.

Legendz

[dtp]

Legends is a solid book but you may get frustrated with their lines.

[EaglesPhan36]

5D is one of the easiest deposits left. You can use one of those plastic square things there too to deposit.

[mtneer1212]

I hope the BTP details come soon..... usually it is the first week of August.

5 Dimes, easy pick

[laclippers504]

I live in los angeles and have been playing at legendz for close to 3 yrs. They treat me good. They pay rather quickly. Cover fees for sending money and give me 2 free checks a month. I wish it was higher limits but my money is safe with them. I love Hazel in customer service as well. Legendz is a great book.

What about safety/stability of the book either shutting down or selling off as BJ did?

I know the Feds scenario is out of their hands but I remember reading somewhere here this past week that they are in it for he long haul?

Probably play it somewhat safe and just go with 5 Dimes as the winner by majority....but keep the balance routinely nominal to what I'd be upset with if it went poof due to seizure. I'm still pissed off about poker $$ that is somewhere out there and will hopefully one day make their way back to me

[Fishhead]

5DIMES is the far better book..........................LEGENDS is higher on the safety scale though.

[boondoggle]

Neither...lol.

What are you going off of as to the safety factor?

[itchypickle]

Neither...lol.

[Ra77er]

Did you get a Heritage account IP?



Ah NVM its for Pro status.

[HedgeHog]

I think the most important question is which gives you the best chance of winning............5D hands down.

[itchypickle]

Did you get a Heritage account IP?



Ah NVM its for Pro status.

Yep got the Heritage switch and the 10% up to $100 little bonus. Would be nice is the powers that be at SBR would offer us the option to do Pro through this change since 'technically' it's a new book for us going from BJam to Heritage.

[cockblocker]

Will Legends cut your limits after you start winning like 5 dimes?

[Sunde91]

5Dimes no question

Will Legends cut your limits after you start winning like 5 dimes?

hear this all the time and it is ridiculous

they only cut limits on reduced from to win $500 to like $250 per game. You have to be up large on them for this to happen. And reduced is a bonus basically to begin with and the only US book I know with good reduced.

standard line (Bookmaker quality) limits will not be cut and I think you can wager as much as $10,000

if you are big time Billy Walters looking for a 50k, they were not a book for you to begin with

my only complaint with them is free monthly payout needs to be done Monday 6am-10am West Coast, and ** payouts run out quick

realize 5Dimes is the best out left for US

dummy

[SamChu]

Legends doesnt have many betting options

[sweethook]

gl man

[notsosharp]

5dimes is a good book.

[JACK MATZ]

I like 5 dimes. Not to many other choices.

[itchypickle]

gl man

I'm getting the football twitch.....ready to load up and get this season started!!

[vincanity15]

I would also have to say 5dimes

[spartangreen]

I would go with 5 dimes, they have more options.
