Help for US citizen choosing next sprotsbook

[smithah2]

So I've been betting for a little over a month now and have been using bovada but sadly my initial 20 just hit 0. A bad week for me starting with the bengals and so on. Now I'm wondering do I redeposit into bovada or should I use heritage or bookmaker or pinnacle or something I've seen alot of talk about. For note, I am a small recreational bettor but I do bet alot almost daily just not large amounts. Therefore I'm shying away from 5Dimes as the deposit minimum is 5dimes.

Any suggestions?
Thanks guys

By the way I bet soccer mainly.

I think you can get in with 5 Dimes or just about anywhere for $100. If you don't have a $100, you don't need to be gambling. Start saving some money for crying out loud.

Heritage is tops at 105 odds. 5 Dimes is good as well. The other places are too expensive although BetOnline is not a bad option considering they will give you a good bonus. Go with one of those three. Bovada is good too if you bet underdogs. If not, use one of the other places.

don't -- the time is over for offshore gambling from the US. money movement is more of a problem than ever and will get worse.

[thespeculator]

if you want to get paid instantly go with nitrogen, i have had enough of these books. Winning is hard enough, then u have to deal with the pay delays or methods giving u a hassle

As a beginner, you really shouldn't be gambling at all. Bet on paper for 500 bets. It's just as much fun if you don't have any money.

If after 500 bets, you have hit at 53% or higher, you can start gambling. If not, you should retire and put your money in a savings account or something.

[ki dice]

relaxx this is becoming very true .its sad

[ki dice]

pinnacle is out for us

[smithah2]

pinnacle doesnt do us anymore?

[smithah2]

relaax, thanks but I'm asking which one, not whether to do it. I am going to continue as I am having fun. But what would you suggest then? And if its not an offshore bookie then what would you suggest I do.

[smithah2]

Thanks to everyone who commented but Im not asking for advice on whether to keep sports betting as I am going to continue at this moment and having fun. Secondly, thanks but I don't need money management advice, what I do with my money is my will. My original post I meant to say minimum is 50$ for 5dimes and therefore I don't want to do that. It doesn't mean I am broke and cant afford 50$ i just mean I am currently only willing and wanting to lose somewhere between 20-40$. Thanks in advance. and I realize its not that same as 10 years ago but for those who say not to deposit into offshore sites what would you suggest one does. As i am not driving to vegas haha. thanks guys

[ki dice]

pinnacle was the 1st not to do us like 10 years ago.

[smithah2]

Ah thanks. I didn't know that. So out if the top sports books on this site like 5dimes heritage bookmaker. Which ones take US customers. Also for those of you who criticized using these kind of sites or whatever. What do you use and what do you suggest using.

[ki dice]

smith I would say the best would be heritage great website great payouts ,average customer service a variety of wager options , open parlays pretty much everything to your needs.also only a minimum dep of 17 dollars I think by prepaid if your looking to go that small.right now for us heritage is one of if not the best.

[ki dice]

also management always available if a problem arises,as well as here at the forum conditional wagers they pretty much have it all if I left something out someone else will come right in and clean up heritage sports is like renting a really hot escort you don't know what you got till its gone.

[ki dice]

I would rate heritage over 5dimes as well heritage are more fine people at 5dimes they think there shit don't stink and bookmake doesn't try to pay you out as fast as heritage and charge a lot on fees also heritage free payouts contests FREE XMAS GIFTS they are the cream of the crop.honestly I don't work for them or need to advertise them.ask anyone here.

[ki dice]

also great pokersite.very few negatives don't get me wrong but minimal dumb negative things, and the positives very far outgain the bad like the virtual casino aint that great,but that's prtty much it.

[krs]

I agree with the suggestion of heritage but are they taking new US accounts?

[relaaxx]

relaax, thanks but I'm asking which one, not whether to do it. I am going to continue as I am having fun. But what would you suggest then? And if its not an offshore bookie then what would you suggest I do.

5dimes - been doing this a long time-getting more and more cynical. a small amount out there is no problem for anyone. good luck

[ki dice]

heritage taking us again.

If you're betting everyday then choose a book that will give you a large bonus. You'll meet the rollover rather quickly by betting that often. I play with americas bookie, hrwager, and skybook (they also give you a free half point.) ps don't feed into these BS ratings you see here. for instance americas bookie pays you quicker than some of the higher rated books.

[dark star]

Try HRWager.

[T4TRUTH]

might as well throw in some of the good bonus books too 1vice, betphoenix .

[Russinat]

If you are in for soccer I would try Intertops. They have tons of live soccer on the weekends.

As I said above. Complete fck wit

If someone can only afford $20 or $30 here or there to have a bet who are you to sit in your ivory tower judging them? They are putting aside a budget for their enjoyment, not everyone is trying to bet for a source of income so if they are betting what they can afford the $ value is irrelevant

You seem a little grumpy today. Are they running too many commercials during your cartoons?

[sweep]

this btl guy is a piece of work, worst advice ive seen on a gambling board. Every post he makes is useless

[BTL]

I would have already saved the guy $20. He needs some practice.

5Dimes
heritage
bookmaker
betonline

[smithah2]

Thanks to those posting informative replies. I'll into some of those. Heritage is top on my list. Able to turn my 1.70 left on bovada back into 15 so sticking with them til it runs out. Then probably heritage.

I seem to see a lot of stink about us sports books or ones that take us customers. Or in general about being from us and betting. I realize there's a grey area with legality and such but what's really the problem if a sportsbook is taking us customers and even if payouts aren't super fast why shouldn't someone do it if they want to. Could someone explain what all the grievance is. What's the true legal standpoint if a bookie is actually willing to take then what's the problem wouldn't they know

[tb1984]

At Heritage, I believe the minimum of cash deposit(p2p) is $100, and they prefer cash deposit. So, you would use w-e-s-t-e-r-n u-n-i-on and m-o-n-e-y g-r-a-m to send cash.

Not many good books have $20 minimum deposit, only bad ones do.

[tdog1986]

Do not play with 5dimes. Used to be the best book PERIOD! I am a cash player and they are giving me the all time run around since I have had the biggest win of my betting career. I am currently chatting with CS at 5dimes and the guy is seriously acting like a 5 year old.

You'd be surprised at the amount of money people have in sportsbooks. People like to bet thousands on games. The US Govt is making it extremely difficult for people to deposit the kind of money that people think it isn't worth their time to gamble with. It's huge hassle to deal with the books in depositing and getting paid and it's a huge hassle for the books to payout. There is also the risk that the US Govt will come down on a book at any time and then people are up the creek.

But it's not illegal to gamble online. The rules mostly apply to money transfers associated with gambling. For the small time player, there isn't much issue. For the larger players, they are starting to think it is not worth the hassle.

never keep anything you can't afford to lose in a book

use only the top A-rated books

try not to make deposits or withdrawals too often using one of the recommended cash deposit/withdrawal options, or you will get blacklisted like me
