    1st time joining a sportsbook need a lil help regarding rollovers,bonus,etc USA only
    hi i am a sportsbook noob (however i have gotten an 18w streak on espn streak for the cash,so i know my sports)

    anyway my 2 choices from reading threads here is 5dimes or betislands

    now im getting 900$ next month so im probably thinking 300 i want to gamble with

    i dont understand the rollovers THAT WELL...whats the best way to join where i can cashout without rolling over 10x or whatever?

    would anyone care to help?

    Just don't take a bonus and you won't have to roll over anything!

        Avoid the bonus. 5dimes and bookmaker should be your bread and butter.

          Big fan Of Betislands but if you don't want a huge rollover 5dimes reduced juice promotion probably your best bet. Really can't go wrong with either choice

                deposit via p2p and withdrawl via p2p...never have to send any verificvcation docs and its the easy way to go...just request and u get CASH in ur hand within 24 hrs....u cant go wrong with 5 dimes...BI doesnt have anything close to 5dimes wagering options

                  my understanding is that you can elect to take a bonus or for access to the low juice lines but not both

                  if you're a long term winner the low juice lines should prove far more valuable in the long term

                    agree...reduced juice is the way to go

                      If you opt to signup at 5Dimes (SBR Rated A+) then your best bet is to choose the "low vig" bonus offering they have.

                            I know everyone is telling you the opposite... but I'd seriously consider taking the 50% freeplay bonus on signup with just $300 to play with.

                            Every $300 worth of bets you make they credit you with a $15 freeplay. ie: 5% which covers the reduced juice by giving you another $150 directly over your first $3000 in bets. But you are gaining the same benefit as reduced juice on both winning and losing bets this way.

                            Once you have completed that they automatically shift you to reduced juice.

                            And you can then also claim an extra $30 with this SBR store voucher: http://store.sbrforum.com/products/2...s-Signup-Bonus


                            Unless you are thinking of withdrawing ASAP don't worry about rollovers. If you plan to keep betting at the shop I don't see the issue if it's 5x, 10x or 30x personally. I'm a once or twice a year withdrawer though.

                              And don't forget, you don't get reduced juice on every market or bet at 5D. So taking the 5% freeplay for each time you turn over your deposit means you get the equivalent of reduced rates on every bet on any market for that first $3000 worth of turn over.

                              It almost seems like a no brainer to take it to me. Certainly +EV

                                that sbr signup bonus is Available only to users outside the U.S.

                                its a tough decision and i am not joining until november,im really angry at myself for not knowing about this sooner,i would go to atlantic city and play poker when i wanted to gamble,im much better at picking sports

                                i appreciate everyone helping me decide whats my best option,as without u guys i could join the wrong book and select a bonus which isnt suited for me.

                                i will continue to read any further posts,and thanks to dan for giving me some help

                                  I just talked to 5Dimes support and they told me this is not the case. Once I claim a bonus, then I forever give up access to reduced juice. Why the discrepancy? Maybe it changed since you joined?

                                    Maybe it did change. But that's what I was told when I joined. And that's exactly how it worked out for me.

                                    More likely the staff there are so used to saying no to any request that they just respond that way to anything now.

                                    (I like 5D btw. But it really does seem like the staff think we are the enemy that must be defeated at every encounter a lot of the time)

                                      I have never, ever had a problem with 5D

                                      Their head CS guy Tony is fair, but he has a gruffy disposition, so if you you have a dispute with odds or something, argue with him with respect and present your facts professionally you will get the results you desire.

                                      Invest in 5 Dimes with confidence.
