    Bet Jamaica or The Greek?

    Hello all,

    I live in the US and was currently with BetDSI but now my credit card keeps getting rejected when I try to make a deposit. Prior to this I never really had any major issues with them as far as payouts were concerned and had no issues using my credit card. Well now I am looking for another sportsbook that is reliable and both BJ and The Greek offer ** and ** for deposits. I know BJ allows one free cashiers check a month on withdrawals (takes 3-7 business days) and I don't exactly know how it works with The Greek. I mostly bet parlays for NFL, NBA, NHL and college basketball so I really wouldn't be interested in Matchbook. I used Bet Jamaica a couple years ago and never really had any issues with them....so I am leaning towards them. I know people really like 5Dimes but I don't know how "US friendly" they are. I would appreciate any input from you guys on which of these two sportsbooks you like (or maybe some other one?).

    Previous books I have used and don't want to use again:

    Bodog
    Sportsbook.com
    Bookmaker

    BetJam are likely better for the recreational player, and will generally give better customer service if you have an issue. Greek are only better if you get kicked out of Jam, or need higher limits on openers etc.

    I've never used BetJam, but I can say that one big plus about the greek is that they have lots of lines on smaller market stuff like boxing that BetJam doesn't carry.

    I like the Greek better by a wide margin. The exception however is baseball moneylines where Betjam is better.

    Thanks everyone for your tips. I think I will use both books as some of you have suggested. It seems like a good idea to use both of them for different reasons. I just deposited money into my Bet Jamaica account using ** online without any issues. The whole process took about an hour for my money to be in my account. Thanks again for all your suggestions
