What's the difference between these books, exactly? I know that Olympic has a reputation for being one of the first books up with lines, along with Cris.

Does BetJamaica lag behind Olympic any significant amount in posting football lines?

Thanks for the help guys. I was just wondering about depositing at BetJamaica and I remember people posting that they were owned by the same people, so I thought I'd come out and ask.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah. I've gotten that vibe. :)

Even though I'm down quite a bit to Oly...:D

But I was wondering why I would have an account at BetJamaica if I already had one at Oly, and vice versa.

Olympic offers far more props such as team totals for FB and hoops. Like both of them with Pinny. Thinking of adding Cascade and reupping with Canbet too.

20 cent baseball at Olympic

10 cent baseball at Bet Jam

Both are solid. Customer service at Bet Jam is absolutely unmatched IMO. Scotty is one of the fairest, most easy-going customer service reps in the business. Wally ain't bad at Oly either.

Greek ( Oly) good for stuff like action points, team totals on halves, things like that. Jam good for bases. After baseball Jam is ordinary, during baseball Greek is garbage.

BetJm is very basic with bases, only sides and totals for game, no 5 inning lines, no ARL's, no team totals, etc.

Thay do have nice Runlines though 5-10 cents better than Five dimes usually. Almost up there with pinny. 2nd best I've seen.

you can often find the best number on a side at Jam when comparing Pinny, Jam, and Mansion with their true dimeline to -190. Maybe 20% of the time they will have the best or equal number on a straight side, add in an occasional bonus and they are a solid choice.

How can they usually be 5-10 cents better than 5D when both use a 20-cent line ? RL is simple to me, I look at Pinny,Mansion , and Matchbook, rarely look elsewhere

I was talking about alternate RLs and other betting options for bases besides the game side and total

I think 5 dimes moves them faster.

You would be surprized Bet Jam is better usually when its -1.5 +150 or more. Pinny of course beats them but they are better than 5 dimes -1.5 a lot.

Betjam is a good book, they were kind of late putting up CFB and NFL lines last season I thought though.

They did not even have overnight Baseball lines last year. This year they will have it all. Except high limits and if you hit big take it directly to Olympic in 5 minutes since Olympic owns them.

We all know The Greek / Olympic for over a decade has earned their reputation the good ole fashion way “sweat the game, not the payout” / early lines / fast payouts / over nights / wide range offering and lots more. This is why they always are constantly mentioned in any honest player poll. Spiro’s name and reputation is the guarantee which good enough for me.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Next comes “lil Oly” BetJM whom is also earning their own reputation by simply trying to “provide a good service” for their clients to use. Nope the don’t have Pinny’s juice or BoDog’s marketing but they are there for you seven days a week to serve their clients and seem to be evolving steadily into a top rated service. Nothing too fancy yet but they try their best to keep people happy while developing their “work in progress”. Their blue print basically is to build a solid one-stop shop similar to CRIS that your balance will conveniently shadow you throughout the site.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So since they both offer some differences and independent lines why not grab an account at both and sleep fine knowing “Spiro Pays”..

I agree...the main difference I have found is OLY's lines are up quicker and they have a ton more props

both rocks as far as being solid as we all know

One thing that never seems to be there with Betjam is the daily special promo, ever time I click on it, it just leads me back to the home page.

their customer service is very fast and helpful
