    Looking for a stand up online book in US

    Hey guys I'm looking to join a sportsbook online, but havent been on a internet book in over 5 years after I didn't get paid for a $1,200 payout. But besides the point I'm looking for a reliable and solid book with good options. I'm looking for your honest opinions, experiences etc to help me decide. Thanks in advance guys...And I'm far from being a HUGE player, just something to keep life interesting...E*C

    Im currently with a few different books. I would go with 5dimes or Betislands. Betislands doesn't have live betting though.

    Bookmaker is by far the best US player book.

    Betislands without question is the best book for any US player!

    They prefer US players and have top notch customer service great bonuses and quickest payouts .

    Honestly if you try this book you will love them !

    when i singed up i had no idea what to expect and had no plans useing them long term but they quickly grew on me and they are now my main book .

    no live betting, bare minimum options, no MLs besides 3-10, cant parlay anything...BI is a decent out, but they arent even close to #1 book for U.S. players..

    I agree with 5mike5. BI is good but 5dimes is on another level, you won't find a book with more options or higher limits.

    exactly like he can call any1 else anything...LOL

    coming from a guy running a POLL who the best CS agent of the month is at BI is..

    and if u can read i didnt bash them jirrichshow, those are the facts bud...u act like i say dont play there or something...actually didnt mention 5dimes u did ..and no i wont play there until they get better in those catagories, they are still new...when they grow ill join...u call me shill, and ur known sbr wide as BI biggest shill...LOL

    and yes vodka they are, options are unbeatable at 5dimes...and BI isnt close in alot of catagories bud...NO MLS except from 3-10pts, cant parlay tons of stuff, and of course options, which is huge...

    theres a reason they poll #1 here at SBR

    Depends what you are looking for. Sounds like you are a medium to small better so the reduced juice option at 5dimes is better than any bonus you can get anywhere else. You can find books that will have better customer service but in all honesty I have not had any problems with 5dimes customer service. The thing is they don't throw in those extra 100% match free plays with 12 times rollover. Other books can offer this because they juice the crap out of you.

    5dimes is a great shop if your looking to bet 2k a game or exotic offerings or crazy props . Betislands has 107 with a bonus , same day payouts , great cs and free payouts both solid outs yet different type of books

    Any issues with SPAM or Calling telephones? that was another issue I had and needed to change my phone number cause they didn't stop calling then they became verbally aggressive over the phone the times I actually answered. Was extremely annoying and very unprofessional.

    I have an account at all the top 3 for US bettors , 5dimes/Heritage/BetIslands.....here's my take on them:

    5Dimes- most betting options, company is solid financially but payouts are slower due to policies,customer service not the best.

    BetIslands-fastest payouts however limited betting options and very low limits($500 or less sometimes)...doesnt allow parlays across multiple sports like tennis + NBA & MLB....customer service is tops.

    Heritage- good betting options, high limits across the board, good customer service, most solid financially of the three, website is the best.

    If you get accepted, Heritage is my favorite followed by BetIslands.

    5dimes has always served me well. Great if you want to make a large play. Sounds to me that BI would be a better choice for you though. If fast payouts is what you are after, they can't be beat.
