    US Bettor looking for good us books; only use bkm/ diamond

    Bookmaker and dsi are for serious players. not the best lines but easy payouts. I am looking for about 3-4 more good us books. payout most important, lines and tennis plus big ml for college football on all teams. Ive heard 5 dimes only likes recreational wagerers and cut limits. Any advice from the seasoned pros on here for which us books are aboveboard would be appreciated.

    anyone? just tryin to expand out a lil bit. really like 5dimes but heard some things on here about limits and tony. Any 1st hand perspective would be awesome. Id be happy to throw a point or 2. youwager, betonline, and a few others mentioned. looking for objective perspectives, including best bonuses and easiest payouts. I know it can fluctuate from user to use but still...

    5 Dimes is your best option. Used them for about 2 years, and overall have lost some $, so I am not familiar with them cutting limits. But if you are a big hitter who wins, worry about Tony cutting your limits after you take him for 10K or so. They offer the earliest lines, best options, liberal parlay rules etc.

    5 Dimes minimum is 50 cents/$1 for sports and 25 cents for Horses. Would not think they would frown upon a consistent $10 Player. GL.

    Brian,

    The average bet a big book takes is surprisingly low. Your action is just fine, being limited shouldn't be an immediate concern. It is a badge of honor to be considered too sharp for a quality sportsbook. What's most important is making sure you are with a shop that will pay you on the way out.

    Thanks! I was always worried because of differences with professional as to recreational books. I have built up nice brs so that I wager substantially higher with bkm and dsi, always in methodical increments. they could care less and always pay out, but there are other avenues such as tennis and live baseball that they just don't offer. I wanted to diversify and have more options and have just seen things on here about difficulties with tony. Guess I am getting ahead of myself there. I am looking for around 4-5 different us books with histories of good payout.

    No reason for you to avoid recreational shops, you're clearly a recreational bettor.

    DSI has great live baseball. Very easy to beat.

    What do you like to bet?

    Heritage is ok bet very overrated. I've tried to bet UFC there and a lot times they don't even offer it. 5dimes has pretty much everything.
