I just don't like the minimum cash out of $25 rule. Sometimes I just want to cash out $10 for whatever reason.

Come on man. Live alittle. 25 bucks is pretty damm small. It cost the sportsbooks money to transfer money you know. About the only option I can think of for you would be matchbook and mansion. I dont know if they have a min withdrawl requirement or not. But if mansion wont let you take out just 10 bucks no one will.

Heck, some books will charge you 30 bucks just in fees.

If you want the best small player book it has to be 5dimes. You can bet parlays for .50 and it is great for props and you only need I believe $50 to start betting online.

Awesome book for small time players!!

Yeah. I might be heading over to BetJamacia. Will see. In a few weeks after I can get my money out of one book, away from Fire Pay, and into Neteller.

Gawd I hate firepay.

What really pisses me off about them is their fee structure. 3.99 flat.. Really sucks when you make 3 small deposits in say one day. Get hit with the fee 3 times. Total BS.

Then they make you wait over a week to withdraw.

The min bet at Matchbook is 1 cent. You cant beat that can you. Its the same at Mansion. Dont let the exchange thing scare you away. Its a gold mine when used correctly.

My problem with them is that they won't let me cash out anymore to my bank account until I use them again. Haven't in the last 6 months.

The reason Matchbook is so good is the fact that it has a smart money function that lets you play both sides of a game with the same amount of money. Lets say you only have $100. You can bet Team A -3 +101 for $100 and if the line shifts later in the day you can take Team B +3 +110 for a no lose scalp with just $100 bucks. You lock in a no lose bet.

I just enjoy wagering $5 a day on something and if I profit I am happy. In the last two weeks I am up $40 profit so I feel like I am doing well.

Definetly not Pinnacle, you need to withdraw $500 minimum, Mansion is probably best for you, not sure if there's a minimum withdrawal, but if there is it's as low as anybody else, you can maximize funds at Mansion by buying back bets, freeing up money, but no parlays on exchange, they have low vig, and unlimited free NT, you could probably withdraw $6 everyday, with no fees.

I don't cash out but once a month usually if I need to. Will see. I hear so many good things about Bet Jamacia.

Agree, Pinny would not even make my top 15 list if I were a small player.

It's just hard when you are a smaller player wondering what book gives you the best bonuses, deals, offers, etc? I guess Bet Jamacia and Olympic are at the top.

Pinnacle....IMO lowest vig and some of the best lines ...I love them also OLY but it seems the moneylines are better buy a few points at pinny

Pinnacle is a great book for small bettors except.... no bonuses for deposits under $250 (plus charge a fee) and a substantial fee ($15) for withdrawals under $500. Most SMALL bettors would fit into those categories.

Because I only wager $5 a bet and just do it for fun? Sometimes it makes me think that $5 in some third world countries could probably last a week. Just my opinion. Any other suggestions for books?

ChrisYandek --

Pinnacle is the answer to your question. It beats every book out there for the small better, large better. Consider all the positives (software, bet limits, trust worthiness) vs. the negatives.

Chris,

Go to DougJ's thread about playing contests. Play a few contests (here and on other forums) and win a couple of hundred to build a little bankroll. Concentrate on contests for now, and keep the money on hand in case you need to send it somewhere for a contest.

Maybe if you asked a mod for Doug's address, he would help you find the best contests - wouldn't you Doug? I am guessing/hoping that you would.

This is not depressing.

Depressing is the high-roller, big-shot losing 5 grand on a game and not knowing where he'll get the money to pay the man. I have been there. It was years and years ago, but I have been there (heck, most posters on this forum have been there) and that is what I would call depressing. This thread is informative and the reason the RX exists.

Because you were talking about withdrawing $10 - hey, I hope you win and build up a bankroll - where in Miami do you live - I currently live in Coral Gables but have lived all over Dade County.
