i am of the opinion that people select a sportsbook for 3 main reasons:

- established, trusted solvent operation
- wide variety of wagering options/accurate lines
- quick payouts

what criteria do you use?

blue,
I need to be in the "zone" when I call in ... talking to old men doesn't cut it.

I would say this has been the key to my success.

To branch out from Pinny, Oly, Canbet etc, books that have active posting GMs' here at the ol' Rx with 4 years posting or so with no stiffs.

Great search engine here. If you want to park 5k or so with lesser books, spend a couple of hours reading their posts for the last 4 years.

More than that amount, Pinny picks up your check for free, just call a # and a no charge knock on your door occurs.

$0.02

GL to all the faders.

#1 - solid reputation
#2 - Customer Service, ease of money transfers
#3 - variety

Can sacrifice a bit of variety for solid CS and comfort. I think customer service is overlooked too often, if i can't get straight answers, or can never get thru, i don't want to waste my time.
I am VERY happy with each book i am with right now, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of them to anyone.

"wide variety of wagering options/accurate lines"

Why would you want accurate lines?

1. If BeantownJim is playing or has played with them. (I know they have some spare cash to pay out with)

2. If BeantownJim bashes them on the message boards and calls them robbers. (That means they are stand up guys and don't take any BS from losers that cry on the boards about their own stupidity and incompetence, such as not knowing what time a game starts in their own neighborhood)

3. If they send BeantownJim emails saying "Thanks for the $660 sucker!" after being bashed repeatedly on the message boards. (That means that they are damn cool, and have a great sense of humor)

The bastard offspring of a 5dimes & Pinnacle co-mingling would be desirable for me.
