    Going Pro, what book is best

    I've been here a few days and I am considering turning pro. What is best book to use for the purpose? I have only used euro books so far and I am not very familiar with the ones here?

    P.S., I just assumed that if you have used euro books you are not US.

    thanks for the info....really with no real incentive for U.S. customers to become PRO without sportsbook cash... that makes it even worse for us U.S. customers to become a PRO having to throw away 200+ on fantasy or an acency...i wouldnt waste my money on either....so much for that i guess

    depositing 200+ in a new book to go PRO is 1 thing, but without that as an options cant see the point

    With the free extensions for SBR Pro status - i'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that SBR John and crew have something in the works on that front. No way they want to be losing a big edge in their affiliate game like that.

    I never used it for Fantasy Cash but have a Fantasy account on Daily Joust and Draft Street and have been doing good on it. Easier than i thought.

    Saying I'm going pro sound so easy. 99% fail. So what are the chances?. 1%. Just saying that make me feel that the person saying so is retarded or just started. That is something you do but you don't say you will do as the odds are against u big time. All the bookies on earth will welcome you.

    Heritage by far without any question. If there was an option for SBobet or bitcoinsportsbook.com that would be the 2nd and third choice... But Heritage is #1, always been and always will be, ese.

    hope its acually worthwhile, becuase i see no point in spending 200 without the books as an option...
