I am opening a new account tomorrow to spread some money around and I want to take advantage of some bonus money. I have Pinny now and am looking at the following books:

Olympic

VIP

BetJamaica

Skybook

Carib

I am looking for the best for baseball right now as I will be spreading around more when football season comes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Any horror stories would also be appreciated. I have had absolutely no problems with Pinny on payouts or anything for that matter and I am looking for the same out of the next book.

Thanks

yeah, there are much better books for MLB than the ones you listed.

if i HAD to choose from that list, i'd pick Jamaica. 20% sign-up, 10% reloads, dime lines...but that's only if i HAD to choose from that list.

go with cascade, hollywood, matchbook, mansion, wsex, 5dimes, etc. for baseball!

even if they don't offer bonuses (most of those don't) it is more than worth it in the long-run. you'll SAVE much more money in the long-run by using low-juice books than you would have earned from the bonuses.

most people don't want to hear that because they have those $$$ signs in their eyes and that free up-front cash on their mind from the bonuses...

but would you rather have $100 in your pocket today, or save $1,000 over the next few months!?!? see my point???

go with the low-juice shops...

aside from those, go with the shops with the best lines even if they're not low-juice (i.e. wsex, 5dimes, etc.)

good luck to you!

5dimes through another Forum is offering 20-50% bonus depending on how I fund the account +$50.

I listed the others because they are also part of the that offer of 20% +$50

I actually missed that 5dimes was on there till Chop just mentioned it so I went back and looked.

Hollywood is on there as well but the offer is 1/2 of the ones mentioned.

Thanks guys. Thank you for narrowing the search

I will look into those 2 more.

Christian,

That is a good point about having a better book over the bonus money.

If you are getting that kind of offer to sign up with 5dimes there is noother choice. The best overnight lines of any sportsbook, 20 min payouts, more options than anyone.

5 dimes doesn't have free payouts if I rememeber? That was always one of my biggest sticking points, I refuse to play at a book that will take my money for free but charge me $15 or $30 or whatever to take it out...

I'd never heard of BonusBoss before and was just checking out their (horrible) website but don't really get how their thing works...do they only put your bonus in your account if you reach $0? It seems like their whole thing is "second chance bonus" that works only if you go bankrupt at a book, whereas BiggerBonus deposits right in there at signup??

Unless I'm reading it wrong...

cklennon,you've pretty much got it right as far as the 2nd chance bonus goes but they also offer cash bonuses up front for some books.Take a look @ their APLUSsportsbook promotion,cascade,betjamaica,infinity,millineium to name a few.Their APLUS offer is pretty sweet,I took advantage of that several weeks back.

I kind of like the 2nd chance bonus they offer as I usually deposit over $3000 when depositing and its nice to know that if I lose that money bonusboss will transfer $300 cash to my acct.Plus with the books mentioned above you get a good bonus upfront and if you lose

Here is my take

Olympic - 20 cent line for baseball, definite minus. Excellent sign up and reup bonuses. Good bet variety. Solid book.

VIP - Excellent bonuses. Good customer service. Quick payouts.

BetJamaica - Good bonuses and customer service. Similar to Olympic but better baseball lines

Skybook - Free half point but not in baseball. Good bonuses and customer service. They sponsor a lot of contests so deserve your action on that alone.

Carib - solid book. Decent bonuses but realize the bonuses are the "sticky" type. Learn how to use them.

Every book has occasionally the best line on baseball. Even books with 20 cent line like Olympic.
One last thing, if I were you I would look into the exchanges also.

This is one of the things that I am a little discouraged about. I also see that they charge a $15 fee to deposit through Neteller. But I am willing to let that go to have better lines.

Thanks ATM Machine but I like the idea of getting money up front to play with rather than having to lose to take advantage of it. After the 20% and $50 from biggerbonus that is a good enough incentive.

Is this the book that you would recomend for football? And how much do you have to wager to get the free 1/2 point?

Thanks
