What is the consensus on Bookmaker? It seems to be one of the better reviewed books out there. The site looks pretty clean, it has a low min for depositing (which im looking for. Why is it suggested for pros and not as much for recreational players?

Bookmaker is nice, 5dimes is way better.

Go with 5dimes. Unfortunately they make you deposit via cash (Western Union) the first three deposits before you can use a credit card, but it's worth it IMO. They reimburse the WU fee as well with any deposit of 250-300 and larger.

5dimes also carries way better lines, with better odds, and more options to play with...and these things end up saving/making more money in the long run.

They also have a 50% initial deposit bonus which comes in as a freeplay...just keep in mind you have to roll-over your deposit amount 5 times before that free-play is available to you.

After reading this I might sound like a 5dimes promoter LOL but I'm far from it, just have tried many books and found out like many others, 5dimes is king.

GL with whatever you do.

Bookmaker is a respected firm in the off shore industry. Some people prefer others, but you'll be fine there. It's good you asked, because their are many to stay away from. Sites such as this one are a good reference for you, as the players look out for each other.

And remember Google is your friend.

It is suggested for Pros because the juice is not reduced at all, you're laying -110 for everything. However you have very high limits, you won't be limited, and lines are among the first out.

5Dimes has -102 or -103 juice for baseball which is unmatched, except by Matchbook who charges 2% commission.

The negative with 5Dimes is the deposit options. They don't offer the convenient options that many other books offer.

I still use bookmaker. I had numerous issues with payouts a couple years ago but I withdrew over 15K last year without any issues.

I prefer matchbook myself but bookmaker is the easiest to get money to and from so that's a huge bonus.

Never used 5dimes but will consider it in the future.
 

I think I want my money back!

They have gotten a little more speedy with their payout again. Requested check via courier Monday morning and it arrived today.

Bookmaker sucks..
Slow payouts, bad lines..

In addition, they cancel your loyalty program (say goodbye to free withdrawals) if you're winning.
