    Please recommend a sportsbook for a casual user.

    USA resident. Which book would you guys recommend for a low level casual user who just wants to bet on sports? Not looking for a casino. Not looking to transfer in or out from anywhere. Just want to maximize value and have the option of easily/safely cashing out.

    Looking to deposit a few hundred so nothing crazy. Was initially just going to go with BetDSI since they are the only A+ book which listed a 100% bonus. But found out it's really only a 50% bonus for the sports book. Putting it in line, with 5Dimes, bookmaker, heritage, betonline.

    Then there are a few sub A books that are offering larger bonuses. Intertops, sportsinteraction, sportsbet

    Any advice is appreciated.

    I would recomend either youwager or wagerweb. Both very simple to get money in and out. They also pay out quicker than anyone if you want cash in hand same day. Both will probably hook you up with a decent bonus if you are a new customer.

    It depends on what your looking for. Generally, the more bonus you receive the higher your rollover amount required before being able to withdraw. As far as safety concerns, both 5Dimes and DSI are at or near the top of highly rated books.

    5 Dimes is the best for average gambler.

    Heritage is good.

    BetOnline if you don't deposit with CC.

    Bovada is worth a look with a good welcome bonus.

    As a casual gambler.....#1 Do not take a bonus for any site...the rollover requirement will be too high for a casual better. #2 Stay with a book that allows you to withdrawal at lower limits. Minimum check from 5dimes is $1000....doubt a casual gambler is betting that sort of cash.

    Thus, your best book would be BetDSI (low withdrawal minimums). Avoid the bonus options....just deposit, bet, and cash out.

    I like 5dimes for the exotic options and if it is your only book you usually get near the best odds around and rarely have to take a really bad price.

    5 Dimes would be your best choice, but they don't have a reasonable way to deposit or withdraw anymore unless you want to experiment with bitcoins.
