    recommended pro sportsbooks

    I live in australia and run accounts with a few oz sportsbooks but would like to expand to some foreign books also. I gather pinnacle and thegreek are good for pro's, any others?

    how would you let the account run/how frequently would you withdraw to avoid being limited by the books? Our books offer worse odds but generally dont care what your balance is.

    Any help is appreciated

    I believe Bookmaker is real good for professionals.

    pinnacle will meet all your needs, the limits on my screen today showed 58,000 for the champions leagues games in soccer, 29k for nba basketball, not sure the limits on other sports

    which sports are you primarily interested in?

    Pinnacle is good for most but limits can be quite low for some
    Betfair is another must and despite paying commission you will frequently get top odds even after paying them. Being able to lay is another big plus.
    Matchbook is similar but only worthwhile for US sports.

    Bookmaker/CRIS/DSI and Greek also have lower limits for most non US sports .. and their odds aren't too flash

    Greek will limit you if you do too well.

    The Euro books are okay for a while but in the end they will all limit you if you bet at top odds and win and maintaining accounts with them will become a waste of time. I have a strong suspicion that they have a dislike of Australian clients, particularly Bet$3.65, Wm Hill, Ladbrokes. But get in and take them for what they will allow.

    There are also specialist soccer books if that's your go.

    I don't believe withdrawals affect books' limiting tendencies.
    Leave only as much with any book as you expect to need to bet there in the next fortnight or so

    I make my money from US sports but bet recreationally on soccer and some other events. I dont need books for non US sports as i generally dont chuck much down on non US games anyway.

    In that case Pinnacle and Matchbook will probably be all you need

    Neither will limit you

    Pinny is never all you need...
    what if a line is -117 +104 (no more 10c lines when the spread gets higher...) ?
    For Baseball it is ok, but for Baskets etc. you must have Bookmaker/Greek to get the -110 lines when Pinny has a lean and you like it too. Specially if you bet on openers, you won't find any early volume on Matchbook these days.

    Sbobet and 188bet are pro oriented and must have for Soccer(very safe) the Cris Family-Diamond, Bookmaker and Betcris are a must have(but not for soccer).
    I recomend this books, but 95% of my business is in Pinnacle you will not find better.
