which is better? olympic/pinnacle/bodog/hoolywood

making deposit through neteller and was just wondering 100 dollar a game player

in order and just my opinion

Pinnacle
Olympic
Hollywood
Bodog

(Olympic and Hollywood could of easily been flipped)

P.S I never played at Bodog since im not able too but I still can't see them being better then the top 3

I guess it depends what you're looking for in a book. Bodog gives you a 10% bonus on every deposit, but you may not like their lines if you're a recreational player. They tend to add a half point to the favorites. Hollywood gives you about a 20% bonus on initial sign ups, and they deal good baseball lines. Olympic is the reliable older book, and Pinnacle has reduced juice which may be helpful when dealing with a smaller bankroll.

didnt mention this one but gonna go with skybook

Pinnacle

Pinny, Oly, H'Wood, CBet, Mill & Gibraltar (throw The Rock a bone 'cause i've been with em since '97.) Paid everytime with no problem, at all of 'em.
Cbet, Mill, The Rock even Oly really changed their baseball lines for the worst though over time.

1 Pin

Distant 2nd Olympic And Hollywood.

I Am Canadian So Bodog Has Deemed Canadians To Be To Smart To Let Us Play Their.

Forget those and take WSEX

pinnacle, olympic and hollywood are all good. most serious bettors would agree that bodog is last on this list and isnt in the same category as the first three books.

If you like prop-plays then 5dimes has the most by far.

For a $100 player, you need:
Pinny
Cascade
Skybook

Skybook's free half-points are worth about 10 cents in NCAA/NBA, but limited to $300. They are sharp with their lines, but you'll often find the best price there.

Pinny is an obvious choice with an 8-cent line. Cascade has a 10-cent line, so between the two, you're often looking at a 4-5 cent line.

Reduced juice at Pinny is great, but their CS or lack thereof drives me crazy.

"Pinnacle
Oly
Cris (Everything but baseball)
Hollywood"

I guess I would say pinnacle, but at the same time if you asked me which book you would most likely "beat" I would say pinny is last!!:drink:
<!-- / message -->

I have beaten hollywood and Oly lifetime, down at pinny big time.

pinnacle the best by far on that list...
