    Payout speed/fees and Customer Service in general: Greek
    Greek also has some live betting, and the earliest 2nd half lines including a Moneyline. Overall they offer more betting options.

    Not saying BM is bad, but i'd def. go with Greek if i had to pick.

          It really depends on the sport. College football Bookmaker and can't do without Greek if your betting NBA, especially totals. These are two books that are in front of the market on their line moves, openers, and opinions. If possible avoid choosing.

            BD is correct here. If at all possible you want to be at both places.

                    Both are good, Greek is better. It is annoying to get logged out of Bookmaker every 3 minutes if you're not clicking on something.

                      Very difficult to withdraw from Bookmaker without paying a huge fee. They take a sizeable chunk out of any outgoing funds. Not worth it.

                        Not exactly, they offer a free payout every 30 days on person to person (moneygram and western union) and even if you have already used the payout the fees for moneygram and western union are very cheap...

                          Definitely both, but going with Bookmaker until they kick you out of the rewards program wouldn't be a bad move.

                            Just read the other thread, there are more complains in bookmaker in their payout, i think not good enough so much better is the Greek site.

                                  Both are solid and should be among your outs for betting lines early. Everyone likes to complain about how they charge the full -110 vig on everything, but getting in on early numbers can more than make up for that.

                                    Maybe, but if you ever do a book to book transfer that involves them, be prepared to take out a bank loan.

                                            If you plan on losing, go with Bookmaker. That will take care of not having to pay their high withdrawal fees.

                                              IMO, both....just wished they both used .10 lines on bases...Other then that, they are two solid shops that are a must use.
