    Any interface as nice as BoDog?

    I'm looking for a sportsbook to start using on a fairly regular basis for casual bets. I've read quite a few reviews and signed up for a couple sites to look at their interface. The site that seemed the nicest to me was Bodog, and I read that they are fairly reliable with payments. However, I've seen that they are getting out of the US market at year's end. I see that 5Dimes is very highly rated, but the interface is more complicated. Is there any RELIABLE book that has a nice interface like BoDog's? BoDog's let's you view your pending bets in real time and calculates your "RISK ____ to WIN _____" and makes parlays and stuff very easy.

    Any help would be very appreciated? Any suggestions for a first book?

    Bodog's software will not change at the end of the year. It's going to be exactly the same. I think 5dimes is awful. It looks like a 5th grader designed it.

    My opinion is exactly opposite.

    5mike5 is a shill.


    But yes, I do like the way Bodogs looks, but I still prefer 5 Dimes, because it's simple and to the point. I'm not on the website to look at pretty colors, I'm there to just find the game and put a wager on it.

    But going off of looks, 5dimes is probably the worst.

    I had read on multiple sites that BoDog will be unavailable in the US after the first of the year. Is this incorrect information?

    If a prostitute has syphilis, it doesn't matter how pretty her dress is.

    I haven't had a problem getting paid there in a while. A few times to receive a check it had taken a 2-3 weeks. Not nearly as many betting options as 5 dimes or some of the other books, but still it's not a terrible book, can find good lines there.

    What's up with all these first time posters talking up crap books? When I used Bodog years ago, their interface was almost the exact same as it is now and I always thought it was one of the worst out there. Maybe SIA is worse but that's about it.

    the bodog BRAND NAME is leaving the US market at the end of the year but the company that owns the bodog.eu software and operations (MMGG) will simply rebrand itself and it will be biz as usual for everyone. We're essentially talking about a name change here.

    Thanks,
    Becky
