Kornholio · Jan 6, 2006

thanks fish

JoeScalipini · Jan 6, 2006

Thanks for the list. Makes me feel more comfortable.

WEEKENDALKI · Jan 6, 2006

Mansion is a great new out for me. Others on the list basically very good IMO.

ClipJoint · Jan 6, 2006

Nice to see places like Mansion and Hollywood getting the respect they deserve.

Fishhead · Jan 6, 2006

Don't thank me, thank all those that took the time to participate and vote in the poll.

They finished being ranked 13th, which is a damn good showing considering the MANY very good sportsbooks in the offshore world.

If I were to rank my TOP 20 sportsbooks in the offshore world, they would probably be somewhere in the 12th-25th range on most given weeks during the year to this observer.............. and very seldom, if at anytime, anywhere out of that range.

Santo · Jan 8, 2006

Very impressive placement for Matchbook given the relative new-ness of the operation.

Looking down that list, it's kinda scary how many I have accounts at.. 18th is the first position I mark a "no" at.

Maybe because it deals dual lines and doesn't offer lower juice deals?

A decent book but never top 10.

I am shocked by this vote. Is it possible that 3 guys really voted for Betus as the top book? Is it true that 4 guys voted for Royal as the top book? How can it be that a place like Atlas, that has never slow or no paid a player,didnt receive a single vote, but a place like Royal and Betus, places that are well know for their dishonesty and scams, received 3&4 more votes than Atlas? Now Im aware that these three and four votes most likely came from guys who work for these books, but Im here to say that Atlas has unbelievable customer service and no, and I mean no, rollover requirements on their generous bonuses.

Thats right. Atlas will give you 20% match play on all deposits and their is no rollover restrictions. No 30 days. No nothing. Believe it when I tell you that you can deposit 5 grand, receive a 1000 Bonus Bet, win it and withdrawal all your cash. No questions. Dont have to risk your own money. Although they dont advise this practice, Atlas indeed has no restrictions on their bonuses. Give em a try!!
