    Bodog or Carib for baseball ?

    Guys which one is the better option of two considering a baseball season. Carib is solid, even though not as solid as it used to be. Bodog I can not figure out. Shady things happening around there at times, late lines, low limits. Yet they are big, far bigger than Carib. Any suggestions?

    If the late lines bother you go with Carib. Both are good books though.

    Bodog has better dog odds

    Carib blows them away most everywhere else

    Neither would be higher than #3 for bases for me personally

    Bodog will adjust your lines based on your style of play.

    If you bet dogs there, you will get 5 to 10 cents knocked off your dog price when you log-in to wager.

    Why only those 2 options? I'm sure you could just as easily play at better books?

    Good question! It does seem little odd. I do have 8 books already . Since I was kicked out from Jazette over the weekend, I decided to add one more book for a baseball season. I have done my research , yet your opinion is always valued.

    BetUSA, Linesmaker and Hollywood. They look like 3 different books, but they really are one in real life

    HOLLYWOOD is not part of jazz -- but they will limit you if jazz linemaker wants it that way -- back end ,software the same as jazz---------but separatly owned. you can have accounts at both.

    Really. I asked BetUSA the same day I freshly deposited with them for the first time to block my casino account. 30 minutes later my account was permanently closed in all 3 books! I never even talked to Linesmaker of Hollywood. These 3 books are so closely integrated that if something happens in one, it automatically means , you will get the boot from the rest of them. My Jazette experience ended without placing not a single bet. What happens to my money that I deposited is currently not clear. My point is Hollywood sportsbook is Jazette family book. Jazette family is one big pot of soup presenting different websites. Really what it is , is one big book under different labels. Yes you can have accounts in all of them, provided that you have 1 account per book. Yet if you are winning in several of them in a same fashion, you will be gone like a shit from a body!

    Pretty far stretch to go from getting rejected from a family of books because they feel you may have a gambling problem to claiming that they will boot you for winning.

    While this group has had issues in the past with refusing to pay out on correlated bets that their software took action on, I have yet to hear of them giving anybody the boot for "winning in several of them" unless the player was using these accounts at each book to circumvent betting limits.

    I hope you are right, But now we'll never know will we. The lesson I learned is that over there you can not do anything extraordinary. Just fly quietly and straight under the radar and you might be ok for a while.

    I got a boot without placing any bets, just because of a request that I consider completely normal.... Their policy is not to block casino access for anybody cause that is a big part of their revenue. If you do insist- you are gone!
    And when you are gone from one, by default you are gone from all of them.

    The reason I went there was that BetUSA and Linesmaker have been ok and they do accept pro business, meaning they are not "4losers only" type of books. I wish I never called them and asked anything. (It is not even big deal tell you the truth. Spotrs books do offer that option and I always use it,since it is really easy to do). Sports betting is business for me and I 'd like to keep distractions and temptations away from that environment. I kind regret my request of course. I did not know. I would have liked to try these 2 out in a 8-10 month stretch. But now I can't.

    And that is why we are here- to learn form each others experiences.

    F... Jazette ! The topic I started was about Bodog and Carib.
