    4 books to hit and 3 books to miss this fall

    football season coming up and i'm looking at which books i'll be playing at this fall. here's my list:

    4 books to hit:

    betonline - been in business for years lots of betting options great software great 50% freeplay bonus right now

    betusa - one of the biggest players in the offshore industry. great software good customer service

    5dimes - can't be beat in terms of betting options. dependable out. watch out for tony and you'll be okay

    topbet - underrated book most people don't know about. they don't take big bets but for a rec player they offer a 50% cash bonus, one free payout per month. they paid me several times throughout the past year.

    3 books to miss:

    heritage sports - customer service has really slipped at this book and it seems like everyday they take something away from the player. dealing dual lines, no free payouts, they took away my cashback

    betphoenix - low limits poor options terrible customer service slow and expensive payouts

    bookmaker/betdsi - ridiculous payout fees, 20c mlb lines, this book is past its prime

    DSI has 10c baseball lines Dunno why you and everyone else thinks different.

    Anyone who gambles a decent amount ($50-$100 per game) can use bet points to get free cashouts quite frequently.

    It's not 5dimes, but the contests and good CS still make it a solid out.

    Carib- solid old school pioneer book, pays great good lines, great rep, solid customer service, like the software

    Bookmaker- same but higher limits, software ok but gets clunky

    5 Dimes..tons of betting options, always had great rep, software ok, customer service ok

    betonline is ok but slow pays are a deterrent
    heritage ok but cannot handle big customer base
    betphoenix..who knows ..C book IMO

    In addition to DSI dime lines, if you use their free payout method it only costs $11 to withdraw $2,400. Which is obviously quite reasonable, OP is clueless.

    What about betonline payout fees? Pretty sure they are just as bad as dsi if not worse.

    i'd like to hear more about this? how do i request this free payout?

    betonline offers a $50 payout discount once a month on friday mornings. so i haven't paid for any of the payouts i've received from them. i think they'll send $2,500 to your house in a week's time and that will be free.

    is there a non-euro book that doesn't slowpay? oh right betislands used to not slowpay for a while i guess

    Didn't betusa rip a player off big time who hit a progressive let it ride jackpot? This was like 6 years ago.

    My DSI balance is getting up there as well, may withdraw soon. But if I withdraw now, I won't be eligible for the 100% football promo they have every year. You have to wait 30 days after a withdraw, to be eligible for any bonus.

    thanks for that bobbywaves. my earlier post got deleted i guess for providing too much detail. but betdsi took away my betpoints and won't offer me free payouts because i won too much money from them (about 15k) so i am stuck paying $60 for every $2500. those are pretty high fees to me. i guess you could just be a losing gambler and get free payouts but that will probably cost more in the long run

    The betpoints have nothing to do with getting the dc, DSI can't deny you this. Worst case scenario is you pay DSI $20 for the $2,500 withdrawal, if they had taken away your free payout(s). Including the dc fees I mentioned in deleted post, withdrawal will cost you $31 total. Still a 50% savings.

    for variety 5 dimes has to be there. youwager is there for me. marketing is agressive but as long as you keep a little money in there they don't seem to chase you down.

    as a small gambler i do like youwager's loyalty points and their calendar promos. they are giving $75 calendar promo on september 8th with the option to spin the wheel. i think sept 1st is a $25 calendar promo too.

    I'm a serious bettor & Heritage isn't worthless, sometimes they will have the best line of all my 5 outs. I concur BM & DSI are solid outs, as they are in my arsenal.

    okay i am revising my list

    bookmaker/betdsi is off the block. i wouldn't recommend them as a top book, and i'd say go with bookmaker over betdsi, but these guys are reliable and you know they're not going to fold.

    replace them with wagerweb. would not want money tied up with these dickheads

    Heritage customer service has been great with me. I was unaware of the free deposit rule they have (forgot how many are free but that's besides the point). Once I realized it, I emailed them asking if they would recoup my fees and they did without any questions asked. I have been with them for nearly a year and have zero complaints. Great book.
