    [assuming US resident]
    with the baseball season coming up where should us ex-matchbookers go for the best lines?
    playing at places like thegreek, betjam, Legends, etc is just throwing money away.

    betmaker the new replacement exchange?
    anyone received payment from them yet?

    5dimes is the obvious choice if you can't access Pinny, then Betonline. YouWager had some decent lines as well last season.

        5dimes is for losers, not long term winners. have you seen the posts on here about trying to get paid when you actually win? the only people satisfied playing there thinking they are getting a discount are those who lose money long term.

          or UK right? they got pinny.
          however just moving there won't do the trick, you need to become a citizen right?
          or is just an address in the UK good enough for pinny?

              5D will still always pay. They will just limit you to death, or disable your account. And that's after Tony rips you a new a-hole.

                just wondering, what does '' x book is for losers, not long term winners'' mean? how can you detect this? already %95 of bettors lose in long-term. (book doesn't matter) if pinnacle is winner bettors place where would be banktupt or if matchbook winner bettor place who lose there?
                A lot of bettors prefer 5dimes beacuse they have nice props...

                    book DOES matter
                    because at many books you just can't get good enough odds for decent sized stakes
                    margins in this caper are very thin and unless you are getting the cream of the odds you are up against it
                    you can't afford to be betting -110 lines if you are expecting to win

                    5D would have a much lower %age of long term winners than would Pinnacle, Matchbook and Betfair

                      What he is referring to is that 5Dimes (like 95% of sportsbooks) is quick to limit you to peanuts if they believe you to be sharp. Your point is a good one, though; most players aren't going to be profitable even at the lowest juice outs.

                        I don't think 5D object to 'sharp', rather steam followers. If you're originating (and maybe communicate that fact) they're happy enough.

                          I have mentioned ''book'' Betfair anf MB are exchange
                          yes maybe book does matter, but between %90-98 because most of bettors take parlays, buy points (especially americans) and most of bettors take only chalk favs. and home teams. pinnacle clients, sbobet clients , 5dimes clients or bet365 clients it doesn't matter. I think there are lots of factors about become a winner or loser.
                          I take profitable props bets in 5dimes however pinny doesn't offer.
                          I think a clever bettor should has a few book accounts and he should choose the best line while taking a bet.

                          definitely juice is so important

                          %51,3 breakeven with -105
                          %52,5 breakeven with -110
                          %53,5 breakeven with -115
                          my point is; there are different type of bets and different leagues, everything is not US sports moneylines and full time totals. quarter bets,prop bets,player bets. (I hate player bets) , different leagues
                          europan basketball is by biggest market and most of books offer 30 cent lines.I mean, if you find pros line you make money.

                              5Dimes and Betjam will be just fine for bases, but will miss matchbook

                                  Betjam is fine, last season they had some weak lines on dogs vs. teams the squares like.
                                  Think the dimeline goes up to around -190.

                                      Clearly neither of us understands what the other is saying. No hard feelings.

                                        Betmaker - should be similar to matchbook as long as plenty of people join!

                                          Bet Jamaica has always been the best outside of Matchbook over the years.... Can't see anything changing this year, though there were rumors that Greek might offer a dime lime for MLB this year.

                                              -105/-105 instead of -110/-110

                                              +105/-115 instead of +100/-120 ...etc

                                                  5dimes is the best overall for bases with their overnight lines, betjam 2nd, matchbook will definitely be missed for game day bets

                                                            Why? Let them prove themselves first. BM management (as good as their rep is) may decide they don't really want to run an exchange.

                                                                    Funding again has to be non USA banks , etc
