I'm going with these Sportsbooks for football

The Greek
Bet Jamaica
Bookmaker
Bet Phoenix
5 Dimes

All deposits went very smoothly and customer service was superb at all these shops. For the first time in almost 10 years I have decided to cash out of WSEX. I feel any negative news is enough for me to look elsewhere.

Why no Matchbook???????

kidman232 · Sep 10, 2009

on a totally separate note, profit margins have more than just doubled at each of the aforementioned books.

By the way, was in Orchard Park last month.......very nice area.

Do you frequent that bar by the stadium........looked like your type of hangout.

Fish you should of got a hold of me. I would of liked to meet you. Built a nice bar in my basement a few years ago so I don't really hang out in bars much but if you are talking about The Big Tree Inn it's a great place.

Good list. I play at all of them currently but I second what FH said about Matchbook, should be tops on your list.

DarkStar · Sep 10, 2009

Carib,SOS & Vegasvic are solid choices too.

ditto, and VV as someone said.

Matchbook is all you really need.

nice to have a backup book with -105, when your offer fails to match. You usually have 2 minutes to pop it in in that case.

there are many times i find a better line at any given book for the side I want, then what is available at matchbook.

for example, matchbook may have +138/-139 on a give basball game, but I manage to find +145 at some square book.

I use matchbook for most wagers too but if it's not one of the big 3 sports (baseball, football or basketball) I can usually find better lines at other books.

especially since my specialty is the CFL

But most people don't want to play at square books. Low limits, and increased risk of funds. I will stick to Matchbook, Bookmaker, Greek, etc.

Great selection of books Harrington, best five out there IMO.

F.A.D.E.D. · Sep 11, 2009

too many IMO, you would be fine with betjam and matchbook. Betjam has good loyalty program, great payout options. Matchbook the best line most of the time.

No reason in this day in age to have all 5 of the books you said funded IMO.

buddym · Sep 12, 2009

Think four of the five are great, but really have reservations about one on there that is highly touted. Comes from a very good source.

I use Bet Jamaica for smaller bets. I like to spread my money around a bit and limit my risk. I don't think 5 books is even enough. Back in the day when you could move money around more easily I would have a min. of ten books.
