Which online book should I use? I have used Olympic in the past and have been very happy with their service. They don't seem to have a promotion going for Bonus $$ right now. Where can I get a full selection of sports lines, good service, and fair payouts?

Opinions sought.
thanks

Disc there are many books that fit that...I would suggest Pinnacle, that out is as solid as can be

but you can research all the books in the section where to posters rate the books... or do a search for info on them also

 

[discdork33]

Thanks Dante, I appreciate the info. Is there a section on the Rx where posters rate the books?

I am checking out Pinnacle right now, they look pretty good and offer a real wide selection of lines and props, and they use Netteller.

Thanks again.

If I were you I would perform a search. Type something like "top sportsbook", "favourite outs".
Something like that.

I like betaustralia, very solid. Just don't like their cut-off times though.

Pinnacle seems to be very popular.

yes about half way down the main page of the forum....it has its own section..good luck sir and welcome

As Dante said, there are many books to choose from. Some solid books with good bonuses are:

1) Bluegrass - www.betbg.com - 20% bonus(10% cash 10% Bonus Play)
2) V-Wager - www.v-wager.com - offering 20% cash bonus till end of week
3) Linesmaker - www.linesmaker.com - 10% bonus + $75 Bonus Play
4) Panam - www.betpanam.com - -107 on sides....they were offering a 20% bonus a short while ago.....normally it's 10%....don't know if the 20% is still good.

Many more to choose from.....I have barely scratched the surface.

Thanks Peteep.

Bet BG looks good, and they have a nice bonus program... Has anyone had any probelms with Bluegrass Sportsbook?

Thanks again.

disc - I think you will be very pleased with Bluegrass. There hasn't been one valid complaint about a slow-pay or no-pay on the forums about them and they will treat you right. In fact, I won $40,000 on a $100 bet on the Marlins to win the World Series at 400-1. And they paid! To me, if they will pay 40k on a $100 bet without any problem, they are a solid book.

Linesmaker.com seems to have some great bonuses and specials... a $100 Bonus Bet on deposits over $250, that is pretty good. Plus they offer Bonus Bets every week and a 10% signup bonus too.

Why do they make such offers, when books like Olympic and Pinnacle give no bonus at all?

Anyone have thoughts on Linesmaker?

 

[BSBboy]

i have played at linesmaker and bluegrass - both great.

linesmaker has a ton of small bonuses and i like the weekly First Bonus Bet, it's only $10 bucks but it's fun. they sent me a t-shirt and an x-mas card which i thought was nice.

i donate more often than not but the couple times i requested a payout it was hassle free.

 

[peteep]

Linesmaker is good 'cause they offer a whole bunch of little extras, like the weekly Bonus Bet. They do have a ton of betting options. However, I believe bluegrass offers more value. Their lines are better, especially around baseball season. Both books have their advantages. Depends what you are looking for I guess.

Scott....you got mail!

 

[discdork33]

It seems like Linesmaker's lines are a little bit more limited than Bet BG, for instance there are no money lines on hockey games, just puck lines. But I do like the idea of the $100 Bonus Bet to start out - PATRIOTS -6!!!!

Thanks everyone for your advice.

 

[peteep]

How much are you depositing? If it's at least $1000, you'll get the same deal at bluegrass ($100 Bonus Bet + 10 % cash).

And you're right, the lines at BG are better.

 

[discdork33]

I am probably only depositing $500 right now - Bet BG seems to have better lines and a more user freindly system.

I have time to check them all out while I wait for my Net Teller deposit to go through anyway.

Try SPORTSBETTING.COM

Bet365 is a good choice and giving a 15% on a 1000 deposit. Lots of wagering options.

 

[discdork33]

Thanks again everyone. Bet365 does look good and has a good rating (A+) as well.

Thanks General.

I think you should be looking into how solid the book is and if they are going to pay your winning bonus isn't really that important. You want to send your money to a experience book.

Please do not post URL to OSGA. Thanks.
