I would want 3 spots that no sharps played, and the office was a little slow moving the numbers. WWTS and Hollywood come to mind about being slow.

5 Dimes has to be on there. Where else can you get a Valparaiso-North Dakota State line? It's 40 1/2 by the way.

Harrington:

WSEX software has been well known to be one of the fastest online whether you are using a standard modem or a high speed connection. Absolutely never had a problem getting in at the very last minute during crunch time on Saturday or Sunday as can often occur with Olympic where you have to use their alternative sites. I expect the new look to be just that but not affect site speed. Also, software is very reliable. There have been a few times when down but not many nor for very long and they will take the plays over the phone while they are down. The only thing that some players may not like is their drop down menu for wagering will show the amounts already presented and at higher levels, require approval. I have not found that to be a problem, because I don't bet a lot of odd amounts on games and approval has always been granted. Test it out by trying to make a wager even though you don't have an account and you will see what I am refering too.

When it comes to selecting books, I try to cover three categories:

1. Reduced juice/free half points
2. Big selection of offerings
3. Recreational customer base for dog-friendly lines.

Of the books I use, they break down by category as follows:

1. Pinnacle, IIS, Hollywood, Canbet, Skybook
2. Olympic, 5Dimes
3. WSEX, Intertops, Carib

Pinnacle would easily be my top choice overall. There would be a number of contenders for 2nd and 3rd. So, if I had to choose only 3 books, I might choose to go with what I consider the top book from each of my categories: Pinnacle/Olympic/WSEX.

While this likely wouldn't be the ordering of my top 3 books overall (especially since I place a big emphasis on reduced juice), it would nonetheless give me a good balance.

I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF HOW STRONG THE TEASERS ARE AT ABCISLANDS.

LIKE BETTING WITH NO VIG!

As you no doubt are aware, the current ABC Islands is not the same operation as the original. That being said, in what aspect are their teasers better then what Millenium has to offer? I don't play at ABC, but know Milleniums teaser payouts well and am curious where the difference might be.
