I only get 9, but I combine sisters. These are books for Americans, and rated by me stressing the vig as a primary factor.


#1 Matchbook ,gives you WSEX as well..... free transfers to WSEX and others, but most importantly the great lines.

#2 5Dimes.... -105 on a lot of stuff, overnite lines at full vig, lots of options, great bases out. They have it all !

..................................................................................................

Big drop to #3

#3 Bettrojan.... I haven't played there recently, but they have been around long enough ( as Topcat). They pass the test of time. I plan to return there very soon. -105 on halves. They may boot you if you kill them.

#4 Betonline... I never played there,yet. They get #4 based on juice mainly.

#5 Guardian Guarantee Corp/Justbet.... I'm probably rating them too high, haven't played there in a good while, but do use Justbet. -105 to $500, not a company that is the transfer loop. Rated this high mainly for the juice.

#6 Jamaica/Greek... Solid as they come, transfer friendly. They switch values come baseball season. Jamaica is a top baseball out with a dimeline to -190, Greek is more useful overall during the non-baseball season.
Probably should be #3 or 4 on my list.

#7 Betpop... under-rated book, that gives you Youwager as well. Great for teasers, parlays, and paying. Dimeline to -190 at both

#8 Pig...slightly reduced juice, gives you Legendz also. Solid rep.

#9 DSI... variety, good dimeline, free payouts monthly. Nasty transfer fees, not really needed, but an acceptable safe out. I personally don't like CRIS books.

Doug what is your thoughts on bookmaker? or i cant recall if thats part of 5 dimes?

Bookmaker would probably clump in with #10 DSI on his list. Bookmaker is a CRIS book.

Bookmaker is related to DSI, I left them out on purpose because they won't transfer free to their sister book. DSI is slightly better than Bookmaker,IMO.

I'm calling BM as likely to follow in the CRIS tradition of 20 cent lines ( useless), DSI is better, based on previous years with a dimeline.

Since they don't transfer they are effectively different books.

any book will deal with any player that bets at least $10 a game.

Yes they will! I think the minimum deposit is only $100, and minmum bets are $1. 5dimes is awesome.

5 Dimes needs better software for me to consider them.

Doug,
You ever play at BetAtlas. -107 alot of stuff. I liked them when I was there but I seem to bust out everytime I have played there.

I do agree with you on Bet Trojan. One of the most underrated books of all time (IMO). -105 on 1st and 2nd half NBA is great!!!

I never played Atlas, don't know much about them, hard for me to see any book having a better line very often than Matchbook,5D, and Trojan.

YouWager WILL TAKE CREDIT CARDS THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO TAKE MASTERCARD BUT BE PREPARED TO GIVE THEM ALL YOUR INFORMATION INCLUDING SSN.[/FONT]

BOYS WHAT THIS LIST DIDNT TELL YOU IS HOW MANY OF THESE SPORTSBOOKS OFFER YOU ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH 5 DIMES I BELIEVE IS THE ONLY SPORTSBOOK THAT WILL.

Only problem I see is the delay, but I think that is only on certain accounts, like mine. Parlays go thru instantly, but straight bets have a 30 second or so delay ( for me).

I don't have that handy,Jim.

DSI will give one for sure. With Matchbook I'd transfer to another book ( at this time), roll 1X then get their check. I can't say for every book I listed.

One a month free Jim, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it recently. They always did their NT stuff well enough. There's a reason why I have them at the bottom of my list of books to deal with. they are good enough, but my first two are going to get the bulk of my bets.
