    5dimes or BetJaimaica are probably your best options as a recreational bettor.

    Now I'm going to prepare my popcorn for the hilarious fellatio about to be performed by shills for their perspective outfits. Common Fishy don't disappoint me!

    If you recognise the value of lowest juice and play straight bets on US sports then Matchbook is the obvious #1

    5dimes, Greek, Bookmaker, BetJamaica. Those guys will pay you promptly which is the most important factor bottom line.

    Of course that's an important factor but it's not the bottom line.
    If their odds don't give you a decent chance to win what's the point?
    I'd rather play where I can get an edge in the odds and not have any limits so that I can win more even if it means it might take a fraction longer to get paid.

    if your a winner go with matchbook, if your a loser go w/ 5dimes or some other shitty book for the bonuses.. knowing in the end you will never cash out because you are a long term loser.

    Bodog. The word friendly and bodog goes together. I heard for 5dimes from many people if you talk to the owner it's not a friendly sight anybody.

    matchbook is THE best. otherwise you are just throwing money away (although you are probably throwing money away by gambling anyway)

    If you bet $500 per game or less, 5 Dimes is the best, even better than Matchbook. Matchbook usually has the lower juice (but not always with overnight nickel MLB lines at 5 Dimes and reduced juice on all sports), but you can only make straight bets there. You have more options at 5 Dimes like teasers and parlays, bot to mention buying points.
