    Two things to start:
    1. what are you interested in betting on?
    2. where do you live?

    some books/exchanges are far better than others for certain sports and type of bets

    all the best options aren't available to US residents

    If you are in the U.S.A. 5 dimes is one of the best options. Low minimums, lot's of options, early lines, great teaser and parlay rules, and they pay. Bodog/Bovada is a weak book.

    Pinnacle is very clearly your best option if you want to keep it simple and have only one book, though the exchanges (Betfair and Matchbook) would also be worth having. And for soccer you would do well to also have SBO and 188Bet.

    Depends on what you're after. If you're after best odds and are a serious bettor than Pinnacle is number one. However they dont have as many options as others. Sportsbookreview is great for research
