    Is Diamond a good sportsbook?

    I am a US bettor looking to add a 3rd book. I am currently with bookmaker and greek. I know diamond is affiliated with bookmaker and i am looking for someone with good payouts and someone who wont put cap on wagers. Any opinions on diamond or better suggestions? ive heard 5dimes is great but that they eventually limit u. any input is appreciated.

    Diamond and Bookmaker are essentially the same.

    5dimes limits can be raised like most other bigger books. Bookmaker and Diamond are the same just accounting is separate. Are you a US Citizen? If so stick with 5 dimes, BK and Greek, you will be set.

    If not go with Pinnacle.

    I think i am going to open an account with 5dimes. have heard mostly good things. i just do a lot of system betting and disciplined chases and ive heard they will shut you down if u bet "professionally."

    5dimes and Bookmaker are the two books that pretty much condone professional wagerers. Bookmaker and Diamond are the same. I have rarely heard of people being delayed on payments from either. I really dont know what you mean on limits, but I know you can do 30-40K a game with bookmaker and Diamond if need be.

    surely Matchbook is the obvious 3rd book if you are playing US sports ?

    Basketball, Baseball, Football all can go that high at BK. Soccer obviously they are not a soccer book. Hockey is fairly high with a 3K limit.

    DSI is solid, having said that, their lines are tight, reluctant to put up college totals, and won't give you a break on juice.
    CS is solid, and they pay on time

    MB certainly has it's problems, but it should have been the first one you started with, esp if you are concerned about limits.

    Thanks guys. Appreciate the input. I plan to open matchbook and diamond accounts. I dont really have too many issues with limits. Just heard that 5dimes will cut your limits if u win consistently. Do 5dimes or matchbook allow point buying for nba?

    Haven't played there for a couple of years, but I was a long-time Diamond user. Never had a problem. Dozens of payouts over that time and all of them were recieved the same day (Moneybookers).....

    Diamond is good, customer service can be touch and go at times pending on who you get. Easy to get money in and out.

    Diamond often has different lines than bookmaker. You will see half point differences in major sports and DSI wil move some of their lesser known sports behind bookmaker.

    Diamond is an excellent book; I have a credit account with them. Never had a single issue with payouts, and you can't beat cold, hard cash, with no bullshit withdrawal fees.

    DSI will pay, but I dislike CRIS books because of their OUTRAGEOUS transfer fees. I believe DSI has a dimeline for MLB, so they can be considered a viable out for bases. If I was the OP I'd be looking for Matchbook instead of Bookmaker2.
