Every player swears by the greek. Even Fishheadwagering! I know their motto is sweat the game and not the payout and i have never ever heard any complaints about this book. I could say similar for betjamaica. I have thegreek account from many years ago but haven't played there ever since.
What is so special about the greek? Most of their lines are industry average aren't they? All lines are -110 whereas some recreational books like 5dimes and betphoenix have reduced juice. Yes i know if you win a lot they cut off your reduced juice. But if you are a USA player, isn't matchbook and 5dimes all you really need? I have reduced juice on 5dimes but only $50 max because i was an idiot many years ago and chose the bonus option as oppose to the reduced juice. But still you can bet $50 every 4 minutes or so or if the line changes though that amount is very small to people.
But thegreek doesn't even offer a free payout once a month. 5dimes does but only up to $1500 i heard by instant deposit. Even betjamaica offers a free payout once per month by bank wire or check and i heard check max is $3000 which is not bad at all. I know bodog offers a free check once per month like betjamaica as well and its fedex which comes in a few days and max is $3000.
Are thegreek limits that much higher than the other recreational books like 5dimes, bodog and betjamaica? How much can one wager on an NBA game? Because bodog takes up to 1000 on the spread and if you call in, its 2000 i read on the website. Does thegreek take even higher? I know people praise the greek because you would not get limited or booted out.
Also, what in the world are most people betting on at the greek? Are they props? 5dimes have the most props but i'm assuming you can bet higher at thegreek on the props? Because if you bet things like basketball or nfl, you would get the best prices on matchbook. Laying -103 is much better than -110. And when baseball season comes, their lines are horrible 20 cent lines. I heard 20 cent lines are when you have lines like -120/+100 and its hard to win.
I spoke to someone at 5dimes and asked what was the maximum i could wager on an nfl game and they said i could bet $5000. I was shocked i could bet this much but i'm a loser overall in my sports betting accounts the last few years but i was surprised i even had the option to bet this much. I mean what if i got really lucky and won a $5000 wager and then keep betting that high and win 4-5 bets in a row. Of course i only bet on the american sports and nba/nfl because i know nothing about any other sport and i don't bet those steam plays.
Also, when i look at their lines compared to Bodog, it looks about the same for hockey, mlb and basketball. I know bodog post moneylines late in the day but besides that, their lines are pretty similar. And bodog has the free payout whereas the greek don't.
But if one was to bet big amounts like $1000/wager and up, i know that might be small for many of you, would you say its best to just abandon the recreational books like 5dimes and bodog and just stick with the professional books like thegreek and bookmaker and of course matchbook? Also, i heard bookmaker has fallen a lot the last 2 years or so and before that, they use to be the book most professionals play. Is this true? Do anyone who bet big amounts even bother have money in bodog/5dimes/betjamaica if they are betting big since those books are labeled as recreational?
Would i be correct to assume most professionals in the US bet with thegreek, bookmaker and matchbook ONLY and just not play at any recreational books because its pointless for them?
