    What's the best sportsbook out there?

    Trying to see if I can get a general consensus on what is the better sports book available. I've tried quite a few. Bodog, SportsBook, Betonusa... And I know it basically comes down to personal preference. The one I've stuck with the longest is Betonusa, which I know is one of the lowest ranked sportsbooks out there. Not quite sure why... They do not have any free withdraw methods (which I've never found a book that had an "active" free method anyways) but I've NEVER had any problem withdrawing from my account. The lines are pretty fair and the payout is average... but since I'm the only one that seems to favor it I'm assuming there's something I'm missing.

    I've heard some negative reviews about 5Dimes users accounts getting hacked and money taken with no help from customer support so I have no interest in them, though they seem to be a favorite... Any others??? What matters most to me are decent payouts, hassle free withdraws, and a decent mobile access.

    Thanks guys and GL on the books!

    If 5dimes is out for you then Heritage or Betislands is your next best option. If you do not live in America then it is easy - Pinnacle.

    Play with a local. To many hoops to jump through when getting your winnings from most OSB.

    For me personally, its betislands hands down no competetion, then 5dimes and heritage are grouped together for next.

    Tony doesn't like dealing with big money. Betislands is better unless you want to do a 25 team teaser.

    I think that is pretty accurate. I would also include Heritage and bookmaker/betdsi

    Doesn't "bug" me in the slightest

    I just find it rather amusing that some can't do a bit of basic research and reading.

    Well I certainly don't believe I'd enjoy that.

    Thanks all for the insight. Think I'll be making a switch after my next cash out.

    There's no rule to say you can use only one book.

    True... I'm a very mild and recreational gambler, though. Don't truly see the need for multiple books.

    May I suggest that if you don't see the advantage of getting better odds regardless of your level of gambling that you give up doing it?

    Are you more into horses or sports?

    In response to yet another egotistical remark, there's more important things to me when it comes to online books than slightly better odds.
