On the Sportsbook poll: Should we combine Bookmaker and DSI??

[Bill Dozer]

I'm wondering if it's like Perot politics where we are splitting the GOP vote by having them run against each other. Players who have one of them at #1 wouldn't also play at the other but they would if they didnt have the first account.

The downside is Bookmaker and dsi don't get credit as their own brand but they'll rank higher if they place top 5. Also, your 6th voted top book will make the top 5. What do you think?

Makes sense to group family Books. Similarly, votes for Sportbet (where I play) should be combined with 5-Dimes.

[BigDaddy]

i don't see some books on the list like

betonline etc...

can we vote for books that are not on the list?

[robmpink]

Gee whiz fella. There isn't a list to pick from

i don't see some books on the list like

betonline etc...

can we vote for books that are not on the list?

[robmpink]

I say no. Most likely posed to bump them up since they aren't in top 4 so far.

[PLA]

I see that more ppl like dsi this year cuz they offer dimeline baseball

You aren't seeing a list of books you can vote on. Those are the current top results. You can vote on any book.

No, two different books. Different lines, different management, different risk tolerance. They slashed my limits and took away my bonus points and I'm not sure why, something bookmaker wouldn't do.

[Frogger]

I agree they should be combined. Never saw the point of those being separated

[jgilmartin]

Yes, they should be combined.

Also, have you considered doing separate polls for US facing and non-US facing? Few people who can use Pinnacle would vote for 5Dimes as their #1, but 5D does serve a purpose.

[edawg]

For the poll no. In real life yes they should take the best of both books and streamline their operation.

I got a DSI account last year because they had a good bonus going, thinking it was going to be just like Bookmaker. Boy was I wrong, there would be some Saturdays during CBB that they would have nothing up at 11am. No early totals like BM. Will never play there again

[yisman]

They're very similar and obviously the same ownership but they do have some key differences.


I would never rank Bookmaker as a top 3 book, and I have tried them out.

[FreeFall]

how about we work on having the poll updated quarterly before we go about figuring out how to "combine" companies and votes. That poll is a year old and this industry moves a lot faster. You need to think bigger pictures.

I would definitely say no for all the same reasons above but would also like to add that I inquired about sending a p2p for both accounts at the same time and was declined. Have to make separate deposits for these 2 so then treat them separate in the polls

5dimes and sportbet are the same so that makes sense. You can only have one account, limits, lines etc are the same.

But, Bookmaker and DSI do not have the same lines, limits, so combining them is not right.

Correct.Have both and wouldn't think of using BM in the summer.

The post right above yours:

DSI had that last year as well.

[rm18]

no they are a little bit different, yes if you make a bet at dsi it will move the bookmaker line that is true, but bookmaker gives me 20k NFL limits and DSI 500 so they are not exactly the same, plus the dimeline and different bonus offerings.

[HedgeHog]

Vote(s) for Betonline, LowVig and Sportsbetting should be combined too. It would be a shame to short change this "fine family" of Books too.
