    just starting off, looking for fights
    Whats up guys, im new to this forum and to the online betting scene altogether, was hoping to gain some insight from some of the more experienced at this.

    my main interest is betting on fights (both boxing and mma). my main concern is the whole depositing money and withdrawing money. ive done a decent amount of research and im seeing mixed reviews on most sites. it seems like the most respected sites are pinnacle, the greek, and betjamaica. i checked them out, and it appears pinnacle is off limits to me, as im in the USA, and the other 2 mentioned did not have a very good variety of boxing/mma matches. from the sites i checked, it seemed like "bodoglife" had the best variety of fights to bet on, but there were some negative reports on how the site works as far as cust service and getting your winnings, so im not so sure i should feel confident or comfortable with that site. some of their odds seemed a little whacked out as well, but again, they at least had a large variety of fights to bet on, which is appealing to me. any insights or info would be greatly appreciated.

    You can't go wrong with Greek or BetJM. I don't know what kind of lines 5dimes offers on boxing. Bodog, from what I understand, had a lot of issues with payments about a year ago but they've gotten much better since. Matchbook might also be a decent choice if they have lines on the events you want.

    Wherever you play, make sure you fully understand any bonus rollover requirements, and if you want, you can refuse the bonus at most books. BetPhoenix would probably be a decent book for you as well.

        Welcome to the SBR forum Qintar!

        As Frank said, 5Dimes is probably your best bet for your needs.

                    For MMA, 5dimes is top notch. Bookmaker and BetPhoenix also have been offering a bigger selection lately.

                      get a couple sites, especially sportsbetting.com , they take awhile to change their lines, which is how i just got Valezquez +125 and Kongo +165 , i dont care who wins now ... well actually kongo will pay more, so yeah, Go Kongo

                        I used to use sportsbetting back in the day until I learned from SBR that they are a garbage book that has had numerous problems paying out people.

                          Welcome Qintar.....Like Rumple aptly stated, BetJamaica are horrible in terms of what you're looking for, primarily because they bring their lines out very late.

                          Greek actually are not that bad, and often have extras such as "Method of Victory" on some of the bigger ticket bouts.

                          Cris are brutal if you're leaning that way, with ridiculous lines in terms of juice. Waste of time to be honest.

                          5Dimes I can't currently comment on, as I was given the Red Card by them a couple of years ago, but from what I recall they had the best selection (As some of my esteemed brothers in arms have noted here).

                              5dimes has alot of variety , point spread of the judges, over under for fight , who wins and in which round, i don't know if they have the best prices but great options

                                Actually the plane didn't crash. They are filming the new season of "Lost" the international edition as we speak in a remote Atlantic ocean island.
