    Please help me choose a book for...

    the upcoming football season. I want to open it through the "become a pro" link here on SBR so I can earn more points and help support the forum. I have accounts at Bookmaker and Sportsbook.com but do not like the heavy rake at Bookmaker and the uncertainty of getting paid by Sportsbook.


    Here is what I'm looking for in a book:

    -A place where I can bet $500 per football game and have no problems going 20-10 (i.e. don't want to be limited/restricted in any way)
    -No/low cash out fees
    -A place where I can deposit with a Credit Card and be able to withdraw via check (Is this possible anywhere? I guess I'd be open to doing a ** if need be)


    Any help is GREATLY appreciated as this is a pretty important decision. Which of the SBR sponsors is the best for me?

    Thanks again.

    5-Dimes. Skip the bonus and take the reduced juice option. You'll get 105 lines with a max bet of $500--perfect for you. Deposit and withdrawal methods meet your criteria too. GL.

    5 Dimes or Heritage.

    Forget the Pro link at SBR. Get a Heritage account through Covers. Then get ready to enjoy the benefits.

    Thank you for all the feedback guys, it is greatly appreciated. Leaning towards 5 Dimes, but I hear if I receive funds from an account transfer, I am not allowed to withdraw via check, does anyone know if this is true? That would be sooooo much more convinient, but I might still go with 5 Dimes regardless. Again, thanks for all the help!

    5 dimes has all sorts of funny rules IMO... One of the ones I revoked my account was they didn't accept ********** for me without Wiring money and establishing credit.. I told them where to go, ID is perfectly legit...

    Just FYI, the Heritage through Covers only puts you on a list. I know, because I am on that waiting list and have been for a while now.

    I thought someone would have answered you by now. I don't really know, but the people who have accounts with them seem to enjoy the book. I remember a year or so ago I had them on my short list but I took them off because you could only be invited to the book.

    Anyway, there are posts about this book if ya search for it.

    BoL,

    I heard the first 100 people that sign up through Covers get a Pete Rose signed ball and a 30% deposit bonus on a $500 deposit. I'm sure those 100 spots are long gone by now though. Apparently you have to get on a list and then when you get a postcard in the mail you're in. That's what I've been told through PMs.

    Straight and maybe a very small parlay here or there... no casino and I doubt I'll be doing many teasers unless a very prime opportunity presents itself.

    I like five dimes they give you the best of everything, and they are great with their payouts, BOdog is also pretty solid.
