If you could only have 2 books. Pinny has to be 1 of them. Whats the other.

Depends on what you're looking for, if you prefer:

1. reduced juice (Cascade, Hollywood, IIS)
2. a good signup bonus (numerous)
3. more betting options and variety than most(5 Dimes/Olympic)
4. Early posting of lines( Cris)

Those would be my recommended.

Pretty damn good answer!

Would add CRIS to #3.

i'm surprised i never hear anyone mention Canbet! they're my 2nd favorite book (after PINNACLE of course)

they've got -107 on everything, excellent customer service, honesty, what more do you need! sure they don't have any worthwhile bonuses, but what most people don't understand is that if you have a decent amount of plays each year (at least a few hundred), you're going to make MORE (or lose less) money with a low vig book with no bonuses, rather than a book with standard vig and big bonuses!

i'd go with canbet.

I love Carib's If wager setup...If wagering on games already in progress is awesome.

...for the exchange. Standard -104/-104 equates to essentially -105 after 1% fee. Often has better # than Piinnacle especially when vendors slow to move.

Do you bet 2-team football teasers? WSEX is a must out. No juice on 6-point teasers. Loss & push on a 2-team teaser is graded "no action".

The 2nd book HAS TO be Bodog or another square book - so you can get scalps and free middles. If I just bet straight up, I would NEVER win - its the scalp and middles that keep me alive and kicking.

I give you three solid outs in no particular order:

Olympic
WSEX
Cris

You can sleep well with any of these.

Leaning towards 5dimes...

50% deposit bonus is sweet, and their lines are off from pinny somewhat.
