    I am in a lot of rogue books but one I will never play with again: sportsbook.com

    Sad, their URL is probably worth more than the company

    I can go into reasons if you like, but I suggest you get out ASAP

    What are the reasons? Please tell. Isn't Hollywood the same on lines and risk management?

    I used sportsbook before 5Dimes. I just prefer reduced juice to bonuses. But they always paid me. I just find bonuses confusing. Takes the fun out of betting, tracking playthroughs, daily minimums, etc.

    You can play at Hollywood from Canada.

    Hollywood uses their own "risk management" department. They will reduce limits, but are fair about it and pay quickly if you are a Moneybookers user.

    The "new" sportsbook.com (global.sportsbook.com) doesn't have the same lines as HW.

    SB charges higher juice. Example from today's card: Lakers +136 vs Celtics -160. HW has: Lakers +135 vs Celtics -155.

    jazette handles risk mgmt and payouts for hollywood. hollywood claims independent customer service, ownership and management claims that they can prevent jazette from stealing in the future but can't do anything about past stolen funds.

    If my limits weren't slashed I'd still play there.

    For being a D- book they paid me out a ton of money.
