Recommendation for Sportsbook Please!

whormoan · Jul 19, 2004

I have approx 5 dimes that I want to invest in a sportsbook with a nice bonus for 1st time users, solid teaser rules, good props & futures, & either occasional reduced vig or ability to buy 1/2 points. Can some of you please chime in with a recommendation. Thanks. Leaning towards BODOG.

I'm not a BoDog basher, and I play there sometimes. But BoDog is not the best option. A lot of the time, they will not let you buy points on a game where the 1/2 point would mean a lot. And they usually know which side is the correct side to play, and it's usually -115. There are also a lot of other places to get a much higher initial bonus. Everyone will say Pinnacle, and I would say you will be hard pressed to find a better book.

whormoan,

I dont know about bonuses, but I would look at Pinnacle for recuiced juice and Skybook's free half point. Bodog is a safe book as well.

Pinnacle is a must out. Olympic is another book you will like. WSEX gets a high recommendation also. WSEX offers 10% bonus about a week before the NFL reg. season starts. Those 3 are top shelf. Don't make the mistake of looking for a book that gives a "big" bonus. You will get burned.

My top 3 are:
Olympic- www.thegreek.com * Low limits
CRIS: www.betcris.com ** more options and better service than 5 dimes.com**
Pinnacle: Best IMO but can never beat their lines**

there is not enough info provided to answer the question with any accuracy...

Are you planning on having only one out?

(If so let me recommend not depositing at all).... or do you have many outs already & are looking for a new out? If so what outs do you already use?

If this is your first venture into offshore I would recommend 4 deposits of 1250$ each.

Let me also recommend a Max deposit of 5K in Pinnacle as they only giver you a Bonus ONCE... might aswell max it if you can.

How much is your average wager per game?

What sports do you like most to bet on?

Hollywood you can lay 107 on everything.And get back 10 percent back of N.F.L. losses.

thanks everyone for the advice. The Greek looks very appealing, as I remember how early their football line go up each week. BoDog & Pinnacle also look good. Thanks
