    Best book for US low level rec player?
    What is the best book one would recommend for a low level US player? ($10 per game/parlay on average)?

    Personally, I really like BetPhoenix. You can bet as little as $1 on most games parlays without a minimum number of games. I normally place $5, $10, $20 bets...however, I won big recently and I started placing much larger 3 and 4 figure bets and started to get collared once I continued to win ($500 max bet on parlays).

    Their same day Moneygram payouts are also great and I like the flexibility on what you can parlay. Only drawback is minimum $4K weekly payouts and 10 day holds on credit/debit card deposits before withdrawal. (No holds on Moneygram deposits or *** deposits).

      BetMania might be your best bet. Minimum wager is $1. You get 108 lines for straights and 2.8/1 odds on 2-team parlays.

        GEEZUS, did he really mean low level being able to wager $1???




        Your best bet is BETJAM.......BetPhoenix could very well be out of business in a year or less, not a place for a new rec player.

        Play it safe and sound with a GREAT REC BOOK.........

          Fish : I believe his basic bet is $10 (straights and pars). BetJam is solid but they offer 110 lines and pars at 2.6:1. IMO, he's better off at Betmania with 108 lines and 2.8:1 pars.

          PS Mania also gives a free 1/2 point on Hoops during Happy Hour, Mon -Fri (5-6 eastern)

                If you like low juice wagering and parlays then Parlaymakers is going to be a good option for you. On parlays, Parlaymakers is guaranteed to have the best value, it is not even close most of the time. Plus you get guaranteed instant payouts.

                        i like betjamaica, i use them now, as they have probably the best offshore horsebook out there.. carib is a bit better cause they offer true track odds, but betjm offers a full harness racing schedule

                                No reason not to pick a reduced juice book here. BetJam isn't bad by any stretch, but there's just no reason to pay full price at your wager size.

                                  5Dimes would get my vote if I was a small player and could have only one out. It's like walking into a video arcade or candy store of sports betting with the variety they have. The reduced juice helps make small dollars last longer, as well.

                                      I would say 5dimes followed by BetJam. After that it's all a crap shoot. If you want/need a bonus go to anything in the phoenix group, mania is probably the best there is.

                                        I would echo the comments regarding 5Dimes, a huge variety of betting options and some good reduced juice options as well. They have some crazy monster teasers there too. They are very safe and reliable as well, which is always important.

                                          5 Dimes was my first book... I have to admit perfect for low limits and rec. player! But when cashing out small amounts $150-$400 they tend to slow pay, probably to get you to keep wagering! Seems like they are not in a hurry to pay the little guy. Have since moved on to Bigger and Better things, But Betjamaica is solid also!

                                                5dimes is a decent book. If you become a cash back player, you can get a percentage back. But that really only applies if you dont cash anything out. They will give you a small portion of deposits back as long as you dont win. Betphoenix is also a nice book. Their payouts via moneygram seem to be very quick.

                                                      Sia is good if you bet under dogs and like to play against public teams. I swear SIAs core player pools loses at over 10%

                                                        SBG global isnt a bad out for low level player either.
