    Making deposit tmrw, which book is best?

    I am done with bookies stiffing me... I hated the deposit and withdrawal problems with sportsbooks, tmrw I am going to suck it up and make a 500 deposit and try them again. What book is the best for hassle free withdrawals and decent lines??;

    Thanks for any input.

    Below are a few books that I feel comfortable recommending to you to play at and while your at it earn some extra rewards by becoming an SBRpro.

    5Dimes (SBR Rated A+) is the flagship of the 5Dimes family of books and offers a wide selection of wagering options as well has some of the other things you are seeking.


    Bookmaker (SBR Rated A+) is part of the Cris family of books and caters to both the professional and recreational players and also offers a wide selection of wagering options.


    Bodog (SBR Rated A) is part of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group and caters to the recreational players. If you're a dog better then Bodog is definitely a book you might want to check out.


    BetIslands (SBR Rated B-) is independently owned and operated and run out of the jazz facilities in San Jose, Costa Rica. The use the DGS software and just recently added mobile gaming to their platform. Even though BetIslands is a rather new book it is run by a very well respected man within the industry for many years who has deep pockets and is always gracing his presence on the SBRforum to make sure his clients are being treated fairly by his staff.

    All the books I've mentioned above are currently in good standing.

    unless you are in America the best are BetFair, Matchbook and Pinnacle but that can also depend on what you like to bet on ... if soccer then SBOBet and 188Bet

    USA- 5dimes for the most betting options and good lines, competent (but sometimes not nice) customer service, same-day payouts etc

    not USA- pinnacle for the best odds or bet365 for the most betting options (i have not tried betfair)

    I really appreciate it... Going with 5dimes as I see they give bet tracker for free with a 500 deposit. I do have an acct there just haven't used in a while.

    Hopefully I don't shit the bed not dealing with a bookie.

    5D has its good and bad points, the good clearly outweighs the bad in most cases though

    Personally, Heritage is a great option if available to you...otherwise, I'd stick to BetIslands, Bookmaker, Legends, JustBet or Bodog
