how many use 2 sportsbooks; and why?

[tonyd85]

I been using the same A rated book for yrs and yrs, thinking about opening another one just in case. what do you think? fyi- 5d is my book of choice

[thespeculator]

haven't opened new account in years. I joined betfair for the horses. People could join a new book because payout methods available or not available.

I didn't count it as joining because it is bitcoin , so i guess anonibet would be because of payment method

[jjgold]

so many reasons

good lines
software
bonuses
sports available
compare lines
easy withdraw/deposit options

good idea to have 3 diverse books

[shaunovery]

You must always have at least 3 books

[raiders72001]

I use a host of books to get the best lines. Some books don't offer live betting so you have to add those books. I'll also grab some for the bonus.

[voltron12]

I am in 3 books also. Checking between the 3 for the best line is 1 reason. Easy to cashout when one book gets a decently high balance doesn't leave me any downtown to make bets.

You must always have at least 3 books

Why?

[sappyj378]

I have 12 books and have limits on some of them which makes it difficult. If you have had 5Dimes for years then you dont cash often. My limit at 5dimes is $25 per game on nhl and Soccer and $40 on the rest. I know this has happened to many people. Bovada and heritage will also limit you or boot you for winning. You need books to split up your bets for long term success. I do not take bonuses period. No rollovers for me. Pinnacle is probably the best book out there.

[bobbywaves]

Mainly use 5Dimes & BetBanks for reduced juice comparison. Will use DSI on occasion, during their 100% reload promos.

[temple2010]

I had 5 but just got booted from 1 because of too much winning How many times do you lose by a half point? Having numerous lines will always limit that from happening.

[Domestic]

I use about 12 different books for the reasons JJ mentioned. I'm also lucky enough to be an Australian citizen so I have a lot more choice than most North Americans.

[shaunovery]

Why?

Different lines the more options the better, although choose reliable ones

[dark star]

Spread yourself out and always get a lot of opinions from posters who have been around.

[ClippersSux]

It depends on which sports you are betting on? If it's NBA and college basketball, all sportsbooks just copy pinnacle's lines.

[rangerz2478]

For the serious ingame player, having AT LEAST 3 books is a necessity.

[rangerz2478]

That said, if you are just a recreational pregame player betting $50 and not caring the difference between -115 and -110, then you really don't need more than one book.

[Snowball]

it's good to have a spread of books you work with
because you don't want to drain one and run into a problem.
there are also different advantages and bonuses and payout variances,
along with different countries of origin for more protection.

[scottgodson1985]

yea some arbitrage opportunities with the in game betting, but i would recomend heritage,5dimes and cris.

[jjgold]

If you think you only need one book or asking why you need more than one it might be better to just make sure your betting small
