Matchbook is the closest thing to Pinnacle for US bettors.

**LT Profits** · 07-27-08, 12:46 PM

Matchbook lacks the wide range of sports/bets

5 Dimes has everything on the list except high limits

**durito** · 07-27-08, 01:01 PM

- easy deposits
- prompt payouts

These have to be taken within the context with which they are given the limitations of moving money to the US in today's world.

I've found that all the top books still process neteller withdrawls for non us players in minutes. It's not like they wouldn't do that in the US now if they could.

Does 5 Dimes have good customer service and ease of deposits?

Absolutely, that's why I noted this was in reference to US betters only. Given the current climate, some are still better at it than others. And being bad at it, combined with poor customer service, is a recipe for customer disatisfaction.

TheGreek is probably going to be the closest your going to get in regards to fulfilling your requirements at the A+ level sir. However, if your willing to settle for an "A rated" book. Then 5Dimes offers everything your looking for.

**LT Profits** · 07-27-08, 02:10 PM

It depends on how you define "ease". To me, it's no big deal to send Western Union. 5 Dimes also takes *************, which is like a deposit-only Neteller. For smaller bettors, they also take echecks, but only up to $300.

I have never had a problem with customer service. Just don't talk to Tony directly.

The Greek does not have reduced juice, which I think is most important.

**no chance in hell** · 07-27-08, 02:14 PM

you can't call in plays to Matchbook, can you?

That's important to people too, can't just sit by the computer all day all night.

**mikesixtysix** · 07-27-08, 02:32 PM

okay, the greek... what methods do usa customers have for funding there? it seems echeck and instadebit have been disabled. many of the other methods won't work for usa customers.

Either Western Union, Moneygram, or Bank wires are your best option for deposit there sir.

i've never once phoned in a bet

**mikesixtysix** · 07-28-08, 06:26 PM

going with 5dimes and bookmaker for now... easier to fund for me than the greek as it turns out.

i just hope blowdog pays me out eventually. the sbr guys are helping me now, so hopefully that will light a fire under them.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 07-28-08, 10:08 PM

You guys are really getting screwed by your govt, not sure I could be bothered sportsbetting with all those hassles tbh.

**pat venditto** · 07-29-08, 01:21 AM

I don't see the big deal in just using the a/a+ books availible unless you really are a professional player.

**Saunders FTW** · 07-29-08, 01:24 AM

off topic here but greek gives terrible baseball lines
