    Bookmaker is terrible
    What a rip off that place is. Terrible lines and just awful options. I got something in the mail that said 100 free casino chips plus 25% free play. I called after my credit card was excepted and the guy says no problem...I look in my account a day later and he gives me only 100 dollar free play.....so I called back and the rude guy on the other end of the phone tells me that I should have called back sooner. So he says what was the guys name...Are you serious guy, he tells me he is going to review the tapes. FOR A BONUS that exists. Give me a break. 5dimes is so much better and the lines they offer are great. No wonder why they take professional action -20 cents each way!!! That place is a rip off end of story stay away.

            Sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with BM Sir.

            If you are looking for large action they are one of the best.

            If you are a recreational player then 5 dimes may serve you better.

              Needed to contact them today about a matter and for the first time ever, had rude CS. Aside from today's caper, the place is fine at least for me.

                  I was trying to make a deposit with them for the first time yesterday, and each CS I spoke to told me different things. What a cluster****! Dont even know whats on their website! I'm staying away! I picked a couple other books for more lines. Glad I did, got the extra .5 on Miami, and needed it!

                    if you don't have a bookmaker account and you are wagering football,you are really doing yourself a major disservice.

                    If you want to get in on an early line ,this is the book to have.

                              There are none. If you wanted to take the Jets tomorrow at -3, (+111), you can bet 4 grand if you would like to. If you want to bet them at +110 you can bet $8900 as of right now.

                                    Matchbook limits really depend on the liquidity of the sport/specific game.

                                    Im sure MNF and SNF will have much higher limits than say WNBA

                                      The limits at bookmaker suck I attempted to play a nickle on a soccer game and had to call it in. Big deal they take 20K on a baseball game at -20 cents each way. They can take action b/c there lines are just horrible. That place is a total joke. 5 dimes does have small limits I'll give you that 250 on most markets. Lines at bookmaker are flat out horrible. I will say there in-game is good but you have to be quick.

                                        Some of the new guys are super funny--unintentionally.

                                        I am still laughing about 5Dimes taking "professional" action!!

                                          Bookmaker charges $200-300 for a sportsbook transfer. Real 'professional'.

                                            Their lines are awful for baseball, but they take big bets, and there is no reason to worry about your money. I have never had a problem with them.

                                              They are not good for soccer and they don't take good bets. Props are also horrible. I had to call in a nickle bet on a soccer game a NICKLE bet. The limit was 200 dollars. WTF. You will never have to worry about your money b/c with those lines you can't win!!

                                                I wouldn't go with Matchbook. There is a looong line of people waiting to get paid. There is now a lengthy thread devoted to this scheming book.

                                                    Nope. Matchbook is the book where lots of people are complaining about now. Look it up in one of the threads.

                                                      Take your action to Matchbook. Best lines in the world.

                                                      Yes best lines on the day of the game.

                                                      But let me ask you which is the better line for you if you want to bet the over?

                                                      Matchbook on the day of the game
                                                      41 O-103
                                                      41 U+102


                                                      Bookmaker 5 days ago
                                                      38 O-110
                                                      38 U-110

                                                      People that complain about Bookmaker's lines are obviously day of the game bettors.

                                                      Tell me how many other books have college totals up right now?

                                                        Look they do some good things but overall they suck. Such if you liked the over 38-110 but what about the guy who bet the under? Clearly under 41 is better with less juice!! The point is you are not always going to be picking the "better side" its just not possible and in the end this place will crush you with the juice. And I don't want to hear about how they take big bets because THEY don't. I can bet 11K at sportsbook.com on a football game and 2K on a soccer game. This place take real small action on small games if they even have a line. Also there in game max bet of 1K is super light.

                                                            At Jazette, you'll get limits cut in absolutely no time on obscure stuff if you show any promise, or if you even hit a decent dog. +360 soccer dog one time? Bam! Herpes.. err, 10% limits.

                                                              it all depends which sports your looking for.

                                                              Thats why I use both Matchbook.com and Bookmaker.com . The different is also if you want a early bet( Bookmaker.com) or a late bet(Matchbook.com)

                                                              thats simple.

                                                              I like both of them
