I was using Bookmaker, but stopped since right after the NBA All-Star break, went on a cold spell. Well now I'm looking to use a new Sportsbook and would like to know which is better for US customers, BetJam or 5Dimes. Who has faster payouts and better of the two with lines. I'll mainly will be betting on Baseball, Football, and Basketball. Also do either have an online casino, I play Video Poker (DW and JOB) a little.

Thanks for any suggestions/comments.

Both Betjamaica and 5Dimes are A rated books and both have fast payouts depending on your method of choice. They also have casinos. My recommendation would be that you have an account with each which allows you to shop between the two for the best line at the time in any given sport. Players should always have multiple outs to get the best line.

Thanks for the fast reply, will probably try both out and go from there.

Wow! That's impressive.

Does 5dimes have any insane rollover requirements or large fees for cashing out? (or other hidden surprises?)

No! You choose what type of reward you want and have to earn it through play. You can take your money out anytime and your play towards your reward still remains intact. The fees are very reasonable for receiving a check via Fedex. Other means are available as well. Just depends on the size of the withdrawl. Check out their website for funding and withdrawl methods.

Sportsbook.com is just fine.

Follow their set up rules and you can bet and withdraw your money no problem.

I thought they might be a scam or shady, but they mail me 1 free check every month no problem.

It takes 7 days exactly to get my

checks.jpg

And I'm still waiting for my check this month....

I guess I jinxed myself.

I'll let y'all know if Sportsbook wants to scam me. But I'll get my 11 cents next week..

Bodog looks like the most legitimate, largest company online besides Sportsbook.com

I just can't put my money into one of these smaller online sportsbook.

Other people online say,

5Dimes, BetJamacia, or BetEd are good, but I don't know.

I like that although Bodog is based in Antigua, it has holdings in the U.S. in record labels and clothing lines, etc. and they also have a Bodog branch in the Phillipines. It looks like they have company branches in Canada.

I like being able to strangle people nearby, without having to fly across the globe if I have to.

i don't know why 5 dimes only accepts deposits by wu or mg. they look like solid books, but getting a number and then driving 20 miles just to make a deposit is too much hassle. i prefer to lose money without leaving the house.

Yeah I get it. Sportsbook.com pays you small wins, but when you win big they just keep you're money. When you call they say we mailed the check but they don't know which bank it was paid out of or who delivered it.

If Sportsbook.com is a scam, you expect me to trust these smaller books that I've never heard of.

Oh well, at least I'm a 70% handicapper. I'll still keep getting rich despite these online books, because I'm a better handicapper than anyone else.

I've been use Bookmaker, Oddsmaker and Betus. Been very satisfied so far. Just use same funding source. In other words, don't put money in an account in different ways. My experience has been they want to know exactly how you deposited. I quit Bodog. Maybe they have changed, but last payout took FOURTY working days.

bookmaker is good. true story: i lost my ass at ultimate bet one night. deposited 500 bucks into bookmaker, spent it all in the casino in about 30 minutes. next day they send me an email saying i needed to verify my identity within 3 days or something. i ignored it since i had sworn off gambling. anyway, something like 2 weeks later my card was refunded the full 500 bucks, but they did suspend my account.

anyways, moral of the story is i regretted not faxing them the documents. how many online sites do you know will refund a deposit if you donk it off in the casino?
