need a better sports book

turtle*

I used to do superbook.com decent site lines are a little slower then most so i got them. I had a bad experience with payout. lost $40 initially but got my money in the end just -$40.

So i went over to bodog. fast credit card deposit. But the lines suck they are over charging for juice in most cases. A lot of lines are closed while others sites have them open. The lines are always off. If 9 out of 10 major books have a line at -13.5 they have it at -14. The only thing i like about bodog is the $1 min bet so i can make silly prop bets. 4-5-6 team parlay payouts for football are higher here.


I'm going to be leaving them shortly. I need a sport book that has a decent site that i can view on my phone, ( tmobile mytouch). no stupid juices and weird spreads. I make small wagers often and parlay 3-5 team parlay as well. I'm looking for one that allows me to do one monthly free payout either via CHECK or ETF. I would also like min bet to be $5 rather then $10.

as of right now betjamica looks good, I just dont know what the min bet is. any other suggestions

I use bodog and have never had any trouble, yes you do have to watch juice in some cases, but if you bet dogs( as I tend to more often) BoDog has the best lines available because of the inflated favorite lines..I too like the fact of the $1 min bet and do a couple of big parlays each week..I actually hit a 6 teamer a few weeks ago that i had put $5 on, paid over $250 so that was extra nice!! Just my opinion...

The min bet at Bet Jamaica is $5.
It's a very good book. I've never had any issues.
One great thing is every Friday evening around 7 or 8pm eastern they take all the juice to -105.
So if you know or can make a lot of your weekend football plays Friday night that can really add up.
They also run a free pick-um contest. If you make a few bets during the week you get the full payout on the contest. If you do not you just get $25 no matter how well you did. So if you won 1500 but didn't make any bets you only get $25.
I've collected in that contest several times. Mostly the $25 for finishing 176-250 but I did win $500 once.
I also have some cash in The Greek. Same people that own Bet Jamaica. Can't go wrong with either.

Bet-Us has been good

i just log on today. the line is closed for the lions/packers game tomorrow. WTF everyone else has it open at GB-11 c'mon now. Dogs or favs those juices are simply insane at -130 compared to other site's normal -110 or -120.

bodog seems like they doing little things like this to either tell you not to bet or collect more.

Like someone else posted, Bodog is geared to the "recreational" bettor. Rec. bettors tend to play faves so Bo adds juice or another .5 or more to the fave line.

Use Bodog to play dogs.



I use Bookmaker, DSI and Greek. BM and DSI have $1 min. bets. Greek is $5. I like them all. BM and greek have the earliest lines. I can't tell you much about withdrawals as I haven't done that in years. haha

I think BM has 1 free payout/month, or maybe free payouts on a certain day of the week?? I think it also depends on your level of play. The more you risk, the better your level of play.

I looked at bookmaker, they dont seem to have a FREE withdrawal method for US people

DSI.. is that diamond sportsbook?

Give credit where it's due. I won some at BM and asked to withdraw some money. I asked for $4,000.00, they said only $3000.00 per month. So I left the rest in. The checks arrived the next morning. They paid through a Canadian Temporary employment co. and issued the checks as if I was working for that co? They were fast though..

Hey awfulov, how long did it take for your bank to cash the check? Mine took 3 weeks because it was out of country.
Also is 3000 just for the check or can I do a wire transfer for the same?
Thanks

Getting ready to cash out that amt myself.

originalokie

You MUST have a minumum of 3 books at all times!!!

Bookmaker has been great

First Fidelity - Been with forever

I then always have a small unknown one

Bring up all at betting time

NEVER use just one

Good Luck, Happy Thanksgiving, and Make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The bank credited my account the next day. All in all it was very smooth. They make it appear that I worked for the Temp employment service so I may have to pay taxes on that money someday? No withholding, fica, taken out, you see. But damn they were fast, next morn, a Fedex truck at my door.

I've been with the greek ever since they opened. They are great. I have not had any problems.

I use the Greek, Bookmaker, & Bet Jamaica. I love all 3 of them....never any problems. I also just found a local who gives me -108 on all side wagers....but theres a 1K cap on each bet. I've found theres lots of competition over here in Nor Cal....very good for the small-medium bettor such as myself!!

so i'm going to roll with Bet jam and most likel bookmaker

have you guys use thos moneybookers.com much?

Bodog deals dual lines. A square set and a normal set.

The square set has huge value. Abuse it while you can they will take you off it.

Learn what juice is. -130/+120 is less juice than - 110/-110. Learn what 1/2 pts are worth so you can evaluate the difference between +14 -130 and +12.5 -110.

As for sportsbooks, I'd go with 5dimes.

i'm having a hard time depositing funds. I've signed up for bet jam and BM.

I'm trying to use a chase card or a AMEX and both are no go.
