Bookmaker or BetIslands

Depends what you are looking for. Do you bet on baseball? Betislands has dimelines up to -140 (or something like that) and bookmaker does not. Betislands has better bonuses but bookmaker is the more established book and has been around much longer so your funds are probable considered "safer" at bookmaker. Bookmaker also has more betting options.

If you plan on betting MLB this upcoming season you'd be crazy to use bookmaker. Their 20cent lines will put you out of business pretty quick

What about soccer? Which book has a better variety of soccer? And thanks for the advice about baseball that's good to know for this season.

dont play at bookmaker unless you are betting a nickel a game and are worried about getting stiffed.

Betislands if you are a small or medium player, or primarily a baseball bettor. Bookmaker if you are betting $500+ and baseball isn't your primary sport.

DSI is good for bases.Dimeline breaks at 140 and they offer series bets which alot of these joints don't.

JustBet bases dimeline breaks around 170,the problem with them is they don't post overnights at all.Lucky if they're up by 11 am.

BetIslands has dime lines up to -190. I think DSI breaks at -140. Bookmaker does not even offer dime lines. Bookmaker and DSI are pretty much the same site with Bookmaker for the pros and DSI more for the average bettor.

BetIslands has great customer service but their software rounds all bets to the nearest dollar. If you contact them you get all your change back and more but to me this is an annoying feature (JustBet is the same way)

Good Luck

Are baseball totals still dimelined on most sites, or are they full price. I am in a similar situation, was going to go to bookmaker, but would consider betisland if this is true.

If you are going to bet baseball Bookmaker is not for you. You WILL get juiced to death. I love Bookmaker but not for baseball. Again they offer NO dime lines at all and I think the standard pricing for totals is like -120 or something like that. I would go to the Best Baseball Lines chart on Sportsbookreview and check it out. It is from last year but gives an overview of what books are best for baseball. I am hoping they update it for this year
