    I'm pretty happy with BOL for some things even though they don't have near the options that dimes does.

    never made a dep there and still received a BTC payout in 8hrs with 0 verificatation needed

    Betonline cancels political wagers that go against them



    Betonline robbed me (but using their terms to back it up)

    Bovada juices their lines on live betting and do not offer nearly as many betting options. But for a cashout, Bovada is king.

    Bovada cash back has been awesome. They basically refund the vig on losing bets. Lost $500 yesterday and got $48 cash back today.
    Betonline still a better book for sports. If you like Poker then Bovada is better for game quality and tournaments especially.

    BOL has not given funds from a series of winning prop wagers (claiming too hard to grade correctly) to a winning player from SBR recently.

    situation still being looked into and everyone hopeful the right solution does play out but

    thus I and most posters here think until that situation is resolved you have to skip BOL and post up elsewhere if looking for a NEW out. So many great SBR sponsor books and others with A and B ratings on the listings also

    Ive been super pleased with Bovada these last few months. at any given time they have 5 to 10x's more games running in their live betting software compared to bookmaker or betonline. Ton of lower tier tennis matches and basketball games, tons of lower tier soccer matches. when there is only 5 or 10 games/matches on live bet for the others, bovada has easily 30-40 going.

    If you like to find the edge and bet lower level tennis/basketball/soccer with tons of props for each with decent limits even on the small market stuff then bovada is it for US players.

    They have paid me out no problem many times over the last few months with bitcoin within 24-48hrs from the time I click the withdraw button til it hits my wallet.

    Bovada I have never been a fan of their juice on the spread (and sometimes their spread is a half point worse than most books depending on the side you want). However, sometimes they will offer better money line odds than other books and can offer decent prop odds if you shop around. As for depositing and withdrawals, they are one of the easiest to deposit into and one of the fastest for withdrawing.
