          I understand why matchbook, but what makes 5 dimes better. What is the difference between say 5 dimes and the greek?

            If you are a small/average type player Vegasvic,5 Dimes & Betjamaica are very good.

                Overnight lines and reduced juice.

                  Thanks Tim.

                  Reduced juice on baseball is this like 10% instead of say 20 at the greek. Again I have not bet baseball online before only with a local.

                    Greeks baseball lines are, at the very least, quite vanilla-ish. From what I recall frm my time at 5Dimes, there was no comparison.

                        i have accounts at Greek, BetPhoenix and 5 dimes, when i play baseball i almost always use 5dimes they have the best lines out of the three that i use.

                            It has been my experience that overall you will not beat the prices you can get at Matchbook, unless you play the 5 cent overnight lines at 5dimes.

                                True, but with the sight going down and maybe a non buyer and the delays in getting paid, not worth it to me.

                                          definitely agree with everyone else, matchbook and 5dimes should be your top two choices.

                                                Matchbook is your best option (recent rumors/downgrading aside), then 5Dimes and BetJM if you're not a huge bettor.

                                                  Matchbook and Vegasvic. If you bet over/unders juice is the best at these two.

                                                      BetJam has good baseball lines, 5Dimes is good also but has bad customer service

                                                          Greek is good for a lot of things but baseball isn't one of them. They typically have 20 cent lines for baseball. One year maybe 4 or 5 years ago they had a dime line but the following year they went back to the 20c line.

                                                          5Dimes has a 5 cent line at certain times (so -103/-102 pricing) but they're pretty quick to limit you.

                                                            baseball totals

                                                            i've noticed that many dimeline books still have 20% juice on totals for bases.

                                                            other than 5dimes, who's doing 10% or less on totals.

                                                              Very very few have dimelines on totals. The ones I mentioned above do. Wagerstreet used to also.They were my best baseball book next to Matchbook a few years back.
