5dimes vs the greek

Congratulations on getting cut... You're probably a winning player.

Oly has a decent variety of bets, but you'll pay full juice. They use a 20-cent line for most MLB matchups.

You might take a look at BetJamaica, Oly's sister book. They are geared towards smaller players, but often use reduced juice.

Yeah, Greek is the worst of the "A" books for baseball. If you only make straight bets, open up a Matchbook account.

If you play parlays and/or other exotics, check out BetJamaica, DSI or WSEX for bases.

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum jce67

Getting the boot from 5Dimes is not a good thing going into 2008 baseball season with those nickel overnight lines they offer.

I must agree with everyone above in regards to their Greek comments. They are just not a book you want to play at for baseball at all, because they use the .20 cent lines.

The exchanges like Matchbook or Tradesports would be the way to go if low vig straight wagering (sides/totals) is your thing.

Below are a few books that you might want to checkout before making any decesions.
