i wouldn't use bodog as my only out.....i haven't bet there in 3 or 4 years, but from what i've heard, i wouldn't touch their sportsbook....their poker room was good to me and their payouts were fine (back when they did the echeck thing), but sportsbook wise, i don't know.....never cared for it while i was there, always slow to release lines and what not....i mean, real slow, almost like the sportsbook was a second thought.....from what i've heard, they haven't gotten much better....

never used pinnacle, but i hear they're sharp as hell, so maybe you'd be better off with bodog.....unless you're sharp, then i'd cut some bread and go to bed.....

That's not even a fair question. Pinnacle for sure. If you win you will get thrown out of Bodog. They truly want recreationals and who doesn't? Pinnacle will be no problem if you win. Notice i said IF.

Hi

Toronto here as well

I d suggest Pinnacle without any doubt.and since you can use UK bookies Betfair will be best place along with Pinnacle

both reputable and have prompt and fast payouts.

As far as Bodog heard too much crap about them,wouldn't recommend them when have better books out there for US sport as well as any other in general.

Happy new year and best of luck.

Use Pinny man. Reliable and pay! -period.

Love the option to move the line for + money on baskets and foots side, totals as well

Reduced juice is always there but if you don't mind giving a .5 you can get on the + side of a lot of #'s@)

I'd still be with Pinnacle if they had not cut the US players off.

Both. Bodog has soft lines you can kill for a while until you get tossed. Pinnacle's a very sharp book - beware.

Is this a serious question?

thats like saying would you rather have a blow job from Pamala Anderson or have Whale Wagerer grind your sack with a cheese grater and then marinate it in salty alchohol

Pinnacle by a little bit

Just throwin this out there. Isn't there a way for us Canadians to help Americans get lines and plays thru Pinnacle? Maybe a naive question, but can't we come up with a win-win solution? Some sort of user fee or something....

DO NOT USE BODOG...Most of their lines end up being "Circled" for unknown reasons limiting your betting amounts and ruling out parlays...if you play parlays. Also...on a busy college basketball day, like tomorrow, they will only offer totals on televised games and once again most lines "circled"
