Well ideally matchbook, but unfortunately it might take some time to get there and the games start soon.
At this point, your best bet is BetJamaica. You can get money there in less than 2 days. I think that book would suit you best since it sounds like you are more recreational. If you see yourself as more advanced/sharp you may want to consider bookmaker or the greek.
So what games you eying ppdougla?Comment -
i am a rookie at this, yes...but i have been researching the games pretty well i think, and i havent analyzed everything yet, but here are my picks so far:
Boise State -10.5
Arizona State +2.5
Boston College -4
Indiana +4 (money pick)Comment -
Heres a couple of top tier books I'd like to recommend to you. Both these books below are top tier books and are both great to play at IMO.
BetJamaica is more of a recreation book and does offer nice reload bonuses, however since they are a recreational book they could cut your limits. They don't offer a live chat service, but they do answer their emails within 5-10 minutes. The banking options aren't the greatest out there, but nobody's are these days for U.S. customers, however they also offer one free payout via Fedex per calender month (min. $200), and $35 flat fee after (receive checks within 3 days). The lines they offer are very competitive with most other books IMO.
WSEX has more of a professional type flavor to them, and will not cut your limits. Their customer service is very good, and they do offer a live chat feature which is a plus for those who want their question answered ASAP without picking up a phone and dialing. They also offer a rake free poker room if thats your thing, as well as live betting on selective games on a daily basis.Their banking option aren't exactly the best, but again I say it's do to the U.S. law restrictions, and the withdraws for Fedex checks are reasonable at only $30 (received within 2-4 days). Bonuses are hardly offered, but they do send out special email offers and or special reload offers on their website from time to time.Comment -
thanks a lot guys...ill check these sites outComment -
a buddy of mine asked me to ask about 5dimes...any thoughts on this site?Comment -
5Dimes is a good book for recreational type players. They offer some nice betting options with reduce juice on certain games, as well as some very good funding options for U.S. players. You will always get paid promptly from them (usually within 2-3 days on overnight fedex checks).
The one real negative thing about this book is the fact that their prop wagering grading is very unfair. They don't clarify what scoreboard they use at all, and almost always have grading error problems.Comment -
Hey bigboydan I'm new to this forum, wondering if you could give any information on sportsbook.com.
Also, do you have other top tier books you might recommend besides mentioned above?Comment -
I used sportsbook.com for years in combo with a local. I had no issues but many over the past year have had many issues getting money from this book in a timely manner. Stick with a SBR A book so you don't have issues. SBR has put a lot of time into their ratings so use an A book...Comment -
Sportsbook.com has a well deserved D- rating here at SBR, and IMO thats extremely generous based on what they pulled in 2007. They have been absolutely brutal to it's players in every fashion. I'll probably miss more than half of the flat out robberies they have pulled this year alone, but heres a few I will tell you about off the top of my head.
They were in extremely slow pay mode back in March. Then they canceled a Sunday night baseball game, because they posted the wrong first name initial of the starting pitcher. (last time I check their was only one pitcher name Weaver on the Angles roster).
Wait... Theirs even more
After all that they confiscated players balances claiming correlated parlays were against their rules, even though their software allowed it. Then just when you think they pretty much finished fleecing the players, they confiscated $10,000 from a player and said he was bonus abusing.
Heres a link where you can read what all they did over the years.
Now as far as other books I would recommend to you. I would like to know what are you are looking for in a book, so I could better assist you.Comment -
