Of the books on the recommended list, any reason to choose one over the other? I'm a smalltime player maybe 500 max bet

I know they obviously are all good but just curious...

[losturmarbles]

5dimes has lower juice. go with betjam before the greek.

and unless youre wanting a bonus, my first choice would be matchbook.

[spongerat]

any reason for betjam over greek?

maybe i'll check out this whole matchbook thing too

[LT Profits]

BetJam over the Greek for baseball, the Greek over a lot of other books for other sports.

[dark star]

If you like to bet opening lines The Greek would be a good choice.I would t deposit at both shops for smaller amounts.

no reason to choose anyother book, 5dimes , greek, the fastest payouts , will pay you ,that is all you need to be worried about. The options at 5dimes are amazing, i don't why people want to try other places but their is no shortage of new books opening up

As well, if you consistently win, chase steam or beat them to their line movements, you should expect the following:

*5Dimes: Delay, which is then increased, then outright ban.....
*BetJamaica: 10 second delay; 25 second delay (Except on props where wagers are accepted immediately upon "Submit wager".....
*Greek: No reprecussions that I'm aware of, although I believe at some point they may lower your limits on Props.....

In addition, if you chase steam at Greek, you can expect your account to be frozen as a warning against this practice. Account re-opened after a phone conversation with management.

I'm looking for football. I think I'll try to figure out matchbook, then i dunno which others. 5dimes has lower juice, thegreek has early openers, and bejam seems to be recommended as well, i think i've got it straight

[MilfDriller]

Stumpage - at what point does this start to happen for the cases you mentioned above?

matchbook doesn't take too much to figure out

all the other choices are solid, might wanna add bookmaker too

Milf, my experience would be one that goes back years to the beginning of this decade, but if memory serves I started being hit with the BetJamaica delay after a year or so of fairly consistent wagering. This delay was increased about 6 months later, and then things have stabilized for the last 5 years or so.

I recieved the "chasing steam" warning phonecall from Greek about 5 years ago, after a couple of years wagering with them, and again there have been no problems since.

5Dimes were the most aggressive of the 3 books by far. I had been with them for a few months, and was in the negative. Then in a two month period from January to March of 2007 I was in the Green for about $30,000. I was put on delay towards the end of that stretch, and very quickly afterwards simply banned outright, with my entire account balance being sent to my Neteller account.

5Dimes is a great book but they don't like winners and will act promptly and accordingly.

[TeamPlayer]

Use the Greek because they won't terminate your account for actually making any money. If you expect to lose money, then feel free to use 5dimes,betjamaica, etc. I will never understand people using sportsbooks that permit customers to only LOSE money

[Bill Dozer]

Two good books known for variety and paying fast. The Greek is great for openers, lots of value there. 5Dimes will give you half price vig, also good value. Both have good wagering menus and use variations of the same ASI software.

[FreeFall]

Both are hard to beat. Hence why they are still here. Hell 5dimes will even give you 50% off standard juice just because they are that good.

[andrea]

5 dimes is always been good..

[Syrax]

5 dimes is always been good..

If you loose allot yeah, otherwise they are shit

[BobHarvey]

I know I'm late to this party but I wanted to weigh in. I haven't used the other two books you mentioned just 5 Dimes. I have nothing but great things to say about them from the variety of lines and events to their fast and reliable payouts.

I know I'm coming off as a shill but believe me I'm not on the payroll. I've been cashing out once or twice a month since the beginning of the year and every payment has arrived on or ahead of schedule. That's one less thing I have to worry about.

Thumbs up here.
