    people say bodog is horrible due to it lack of over night lines and being
    late on all games


    Most agree pinnacle is the best, and 5 dimes isnt far behind. But as LIR
    posted the other day, pinn normally has better lines on just about every
    game, compared to 5 dimes

    I can only give opinions of 5 Dimes and Pinn. 5 Dimes is the king of
    props, they have dime juice and have no ponies. Pinn is the value joint.
    Nickel or 8 cent juice with numerous side and total betting options.
    Also, Pinn not only has ponies, but 7% back on all horse wagers, not just
    losers. If you only feel the need for one---Pinnacle should be the choice.

    Hope this helps.

    BoDog: Great sign-up and reload bonuses (20%), easy instant bank deposit
    method, unique lines usually offering value to underdogs, one of the best
    poker software platforms on the web.

    Negatives: Low limits, no discount juice, late to post lines, do not
    offer lines on all totals & halftimes (especially NCAA).

    Pinnacle: Best all around book on the web, high & low limits, reduced
    juice on EVERYTHING, all important betting options and then some
    (halftimes & totals on all NCAA, etc, etc..) 7% rebate on all horse racing
    action & full track odds.

    Negatives: Weak bonuses, customer service is primarily through e-mail
    (although fast), no reduced juice on parlays.

    5Dimes: Definitely a top book in the industry. 5 cent overnight line for
    MLB is unbeatable. They offer every kind of betting option imaginable,
    some that no others do including 1-AA football games. Easy to buy points
    within multi sport parlays, great money lines, etc, etc. Solid bonus
    program.

    Negatives: None notable.

    All three have very high ratings from SportsbookReview & OffshoreWire.

    5Dimes does offer horse racing, but they do not have a good system for
    it. Not recommended if you are a big horse player. No one can touch
    Pinnacle when it comes to horses.

    It is best to have accounts at multiple sportsbooks.

    A couple comments....no book can match Pinny overall, even with the "weak
    bonus". They are blazing quick on responding to e-mails, and wagers can be
    called in, without any problem, but no low vig. As far as no low vig on
    parlays, often their "no low vig" is still less than most books, including
    5 dimes. You also see huge differences on sports like tennis/golf, where
    Pinny offers a dime line, and 5 dimes often a 30 cent line.

    You first book should be Pinnicle, then have a back up or two...you should
    always have an "out" available. 5 dimes, Olympic, or BetCris are decent
    outs. You will find most of your action though going to Pinny.
