    Safest sportsbook with reduced -105 juice?

    Hey guys, first post here. Seems like a nice forum. I am looking for the safest place that offers reduced juice -105 on NBA sides.

    Is there any sportsbook that has -105 juice and would be safe to put $50K american in?

    If not, would these A+ rated sites listed here that offer no reduced juice be safe for $50-$100K American?

    I appreciate your help.

    If you are American, 5-Dimes would be the safest.
    You can request the -105 lines when you open the account (instead of a bonus). Betting limits might be an issue for you though.

    Yeah, 5Dimes generally has a $500 max for reduced juice wagers. Depending on how big the event is, you can sometimes bet to win $500 multiple times without them moving the line though.

    If you are not American, Pinnacle would be the way to go.

    Getting a Matchbook account would be another way for an American to wager with low juice. For NBA they only have liquidity close to game time though.

    50k deposit is a bit high for $500 max bets at 5D, IMO. Try and get into Matchbook or Pinnacle ( if non-American).

    Thanks for the info guys. Keep it coming. BTW I am from the US.

    Has anyone else had any experience with vegasvic.com? Is this book rated anywhere?

    Anyone else had exp. w matchbook?

    I'd like to find a reputable book with at least $2500 limit and reduced juice if possible.

    Is there any downside to playing two or three books so I can bet the amounts that I want to?

    No. That is probably your best option.

    Matchbook is an exchange and you will normally be able to get -102 or -103 there when commission is taken into account.

    Personally speaking (I know some/most others will disagree), I wouldn't want to have a big proportion of my bankroll there even though I have never had a problem making a withdrawal.

    I'd go with matchbook if you don't mind putting your wagers in closer to game time, 5dimes is definitely safe though

    That b- rating has me a little worried. Is that something I should be concerned about?

    When they chose to stop advertising with SBR, SBR came out with a story that Matchbook had lost a lot of money from getting stiffed by credit players and then downgraded MB for this. This has some people concerned and others just think the rating would go back up if they chose to advertise here again.

    There are also legitimate concerns about the links to WSEX.

    All these -105 books come with clouds. IMO the safest by far is Matchbook as they've had several years of a clean payment record. You should know that these other books consider -105 a promotional offer and none of them are going to let you bang away with $2000 bets, and they put their lines up late and they'll send you packing if you're on the right side of the number more often than not.

    If you do decide to take them on, your best bet is to go with a couple of dimes in all of them, with the rest in MB--and while you might use $50,000 as your spreadsheet number, there's no reason not to play in a leveraged way so you can keep as much as possible at home.

    And if you are even just a little successful betting at these levels a big part of the rest of your life is going to be filled up with the hassle of depositing and withdrawing, sending documents, worrying about emails that aren't returned, etc.

    If you reside outside USA, you can sign up for pinnacle. They have (-105) sides/totals for NBA, NFL, NHL & MLB with very high limits
