Yo guys,
who are your top five bookmaker??
please state the reason why they are in your top 5..
Mine would be
Betjam - fast payouts
Matchbook - great lines good at withdrawal
Pinnacle - great casino
bodog - nice site, good payout
the Pig - cool.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Bodog limit too fast, and pig odds are pretty poor imo.


Pinnacle, sbobet, 12bet, 188bet for soccer.

Pinnacle and matchbook for tennis. Betfair also if you're not getting PCed, especially for set betting.

Pinnacle, matchbook, phoenix for US sports.

[Sk1pToMyLoU]

For US players:

I'm with mostly all the big name books, and I primarily bet with Bookmaker, and Sportsbook. I'v never had ANY trouble with payouts from either of them, they offer high limits, and offer friendly live/e-mail support.

hi mates,

here are the results of my favourite bookies:

12Bet
188Bet
Bet365
Pinnacle
SBObet
Betsson
Nordicbet

ok, thats seven, but Betsson and Nordicbet had great odds at nordic soccer, and also relative fast payouts

[Cyntax]

My toplist:
1. PinnacleSports
2. Interwetten
3. Bwin
4. StanJames

Pinnacle is outstanding. The other three are playing in the 2nd division.

These are other bookies I recommend, playing in the 3rd division:
Bet-At-Home, Expekt, Gamebookers, Willhill, Bet365, Betsson and Ladbrokes... in no particular order.

[tomwakefield]

1. Pinnacle
2. 12bet
3. 188bet
All for good odds and quick payouts.

The big UK books are good until you get limited.

Tom Betfair has no limits.

I understand that it's your list, but IW is good if you're a 10 euros punter. Stanjames and Bwin are rather equal.

And I think Expekt, Gamebookers or Betsson are much better than your second division bookies.

My top 5 are:
- 12bet
- sbobet
- 188bet
These three for soccer
- Pinny
- betphoenix
For american sports

Bwin has disgraceful lines and is slow as a snail, has live Bundesliga feeds though so its nice for in-game German league. Betfair have the best odds, Bet365 have the most options. Ladbrokes gives money back on NHL if the game goes to OT and your team looses.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Betfair odds (after commission) aren't as good on soccer as pinnacle/12bet/sbo, and traditional books don't try hit you for an additional 10%+ of profits when you have a winning week.

Yeah the commissions can be annoying but its tolerable and gets reduced depending on what you wager. But the main advantage is wagering large amounts and withdrawing large amounts easily. I got tired of tight ass books and the way they put limits and caps and the trouble they give you when you win big.

Pinnacle is good as well, I don't think any one book has the best lines, best to shop around.

I do arbitrage/surebetting only.
€10 at IW? Really? Depends on the market you are betting on and how fast you are with typing.

Did you really try asian books? They have the same advantages plus no commission and no 'premium'(lol)-charge.

[tomwakefield]

Tom Betfair has no limits.

I wasn't thinking of exchanges - I was referring to the traditional high street books - Ladbrokes, Will Hill, Totesport (despite their recent cock up), Stan James. All are safe places to have your money with, but if you start winning your maximum stakes start dropping.
