    Dont listen to Makeit, 5dimes is one of the best books in the world.They have everything you would ever want to bet on,good lines, good openers, and fast payouts.Bodog on the other hand is ******* terrible, they do every thing they can to tip the odds in their favor.They post lines late, charge crazy juice, and they make it really hard to win.

    I think Bodog gets a unfair rap a lot of the time. They've always been good to me and I've been up money there since day one

    depends... 5dimes is better overall in everywhere but bodog is decent... if your a ultra low bettor and you going to be withdrawing less then 100 at a time bodog will fit your needs, there min. withdrawal is 20 by check....

    I've never had a problem with BoDog, but they do have really huge amount of juice on every game nearly... They also don't put the lines up til the market settles and there goes an edge... Good luck winning there
    I prefer 5 Dimes and Matchbook now that I finally am able to deposit on them.

    5dimes is much easier /better than Bodog. they have lines come out to the market earlier than Bodog does. limits at 5dimes higher than in Bodog. 5dimes have "Book to Book" transfer with several major books. Bodog doesn't have that option.

    Bodog has been solid with me

    Bodog is great to me. Easy to deposit and usually payout requests on a weekend results in a check in hand as early as Tuesday, usually Wednesday but never longer than 5 business days.

    Emails answered within 15 minutes always. Any problems have always been resolved quickly and fairly, been with for 8 years.

    Not a shill, just a little guy who likes consistent, quality customer service.

    I have yet to withdrawl from Bodog but I heard they hassle you with document requests? My poker software also quit working out of the blue and an email conversation regarding that ended with them telling me to call them. I assume I'll have to spend all day on the phone with them to *maybe* get the software to run, no thanks. I'd like to have played in the SBR PRO aug 19th tourney, ah well.

    Just browse both websites and compare lines, Bodog sucks and 5Dimes is good. Enough said.

    Both will collar you, but 5Dimes has more reduced juice options.

    I bet with eBetsAction.com I'm happy.. they are great.. but if you want to decide between Bodog and 5dimes go Bodog... 5dimes is HORRIBLE!
    Makeit77 IS A SHILL FOR EBETSACTION.COM and any book that resorts to spamming forums in this manner should be AVOIDED. In addition, he is constantly begging for betpoints from other posters.

    Here are a few of his recent postings:

    I play with eBetsAction.com I don't know if they take players from Costa Rica.. but they are located there so maybe... call and ask!


    eBetsAction.com is running an early bird special.. for the month of August. 50% - 100% with a fair rollover! They called me and offered me that but contact them and see if you can get it.


    I play at eBetsAction.com and they have a promo til Aug 31st.. 50% Cash Bonus on $500 with only 9x rollover.. that is better if you ask me. It's not a free play and the rollover is not crazy like...


    I bet with eBetsAction.com I'm happy.. they are great.. but if you want to decide between Bodog (www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr/bodog_sportsbook/) and 5dimes go Bodog... 5dimes is HORRIBLE!


    When I deposit with eBetsAction I use a check and send it via FedEx.. never had a problem.. they put the money in the account and it clears days later... I even have FedEx pick it up at my house...


    I play at ebetsaction.com and they called me lat week to offer me 50% early bird special for the month of August... I am not sure if that is for everybody but a great deal for sure.. call them and...


    I haven't received any junk mail.. just calls... Great bonus offer from ebetsaction.com... but thats all.. make sure if you open an account to tell them you DONT want any shit on sent to you!


    ebetsaction.com - $980 last friday.. wire


    I've been with ebetsaction.com for almost 3 years.. my account manager always takes care of me.. this year they offered me 50% until Aug 31st as an early bird special I think...!!.. go ahead and...

    Bodog is good... 5dimes is better. The reduced juice they offer beats just about any promotion.

    5Dimes is the best book offshore for American players....They have sooooo many options and their lines are always up at an acceptable time overnight...

    After reading this thread I wanted to go with 5Dimes but I am still not sure.

    The site just looks really old and amateur. Also the lack of an https or any encryption makes me wonder if this is a good place to play. Or maybe I am at the wrong website? Like a clone phishing one?

    Please advise if I am crazy or not.

    5 Dimes. Their site is a little archaic but it's improving.

    Bet Jamaica is also a solid book for recreational players.
