    5Dimes vs BetIslands vs Pinnacle
    Hello everyone!

    I am a new member and I was wondering what is the best sportsbook for me to join? From my short research online it seems to be either of these 3. For 5dimes they are reputable and of course ranked number 1, however, I seen plenty of payout concerns talking about delays or getting the run around etc. BetIslands is another sportsbook i've been looking into because they seem to be getting a lot of positive reviews lately, but then again how legit are they? Pinnacle is another that seems to be good but I just haven't heard much about. Also, what is the best funding method?

    Bottom line...I just want a site thats legit and simple. A place where I can deposit and get paid easy without the headaches, nothing shady where you have to always be paranoid if they will tamper with your account limiting your amount to bet or taking away your funds etc. Also, getting good lines is a must.

    I know everyone will have their own opinions and I will be getting mixed reviews. I'm completely torn between which one to choose that I need some of the help on this forum for some expert insight on which to pick. Thanks everyone.

          Between Betislands and 5dimes I like them both but Betislands would be my first choice just on customer service alone. However 5dimes has more options and get their lines up quicker. Both are good but my recommendation is Betislands!

            All three and I wish I could still use Pinnacle. Of all the Books to leave the US, Pinnacle hurt the most.

                Betislands is hands down the place to be....
                i nolonger use them due to a misunderstanding , but they were by far my favorite book.

                legendz is also customer friendly

                  I joined BetIslands, I like it but I wish you could parlay MMA and boxing.

                        I have used both bet islands and 5dimes. Bet islands has great customer service and bonuses but 5dimes has every line you would want and that's hard to pass up! If you play alot of halftimes or live betting its 5dimes for sure. Bet islands doesn't have as many games, halftimes, or parlay options. Lines are up much earlier at 5dimes as well. They are bitchy to work with though. If bet islands gets more options and lines I will use them full time.

                          I will probably suggest 5Dimes, BI seems to be doing good but it is definitely too soon to put it on the level of an already establish book as 5D.
