    What books can you guys not live without?
    I know all you degens here have a bunch of books...line shopping is a big part of making money. Anyways list your Top 3 books you could not live without (in order)

    For Me...

    1.) Pinnacle - If I could only have 1 book, this would be it. This book has it all. Great prices, variety of options, solid customer service and most importantly I feel safe having a large sum of money with them. Generally 60-70% of my bets are placed on here. Not sure If I would even bet If I couldn't use them.

    2.) Matchbook - Just got an account there but I love it...really only good for US sports but that's mostly what I bet. Low commission and even tops Pinnacle's prices most of the time. Only problem I have is the liquidity isn't great and getting your offers accepted is hard even if your offering a price better than every other book.

    3.) BetFair - This site covers all my Euro action. Best future prices also. Only gripe I have with them is they have a very high commission rate. (Can be lowered but it takes awhile)

    Imo, it's essential to have an exchange in your arsenal and 2 of my top 3 books are. It's really unfortunate US players can't use either of those books because they are all A+ imo.

    Interested to see what books all you guys can't live without.

          After Pinnacle left the US market, just moved on and tried to find the next best book. Makes the job harder, but have no choice.

                          how much is "too much" ?

                          no, I didn't win much at all but it seems they didn't like my style and put me on that crap delay and then would tell me I could bet only $25 or something like that

                            I can live without betting at the most efficient books.

                            But I can't live without them setting the market for me.

                              For US players, there's really only one answer.

                              The Greek

                                I'm a USA player, and I would be out of business without 5dimes.

                                    I can't live without Heritage. I use Sbobet and betfair for my Soccer but Heritage gets all my action. Always will be that way... They are the best in the business plus have the greatest staff around. #1 guy in the industry running the book as well.

                                                      Agreed. Pinnacle, Matchbook and Betfair for sure.

                                                        I'm in the US. Gotta give my vote to TheGreek. What are the betting limits like on 5 Dimes??> Do they have anywhere near the liquidity and super fast payouts that TheGreek does?
