Pinnaclesports.com hands down the best by far best betting limits and best odds. Unlike other places that usually day or 2 to process withdraw ive never had 1 of their's take longer than 15 minutes. Canbet is good as well but i have to say blowdog sucks. They cut ur limits and post LATE lines for nba.

BetWWTS.com signals end to an era as BetCorp bows out
In 1992, controversial Ohio businessman, Bill Scott, set out to start a bookmaking operation offshore. His choice of island in the Caribbean? St. Marten. And while Scott still calls St. Marten home, Antigua quickly became the better option as the Caribbean's second most prosperous nation after Barbados, not to mention its more impressive telecommunications network and respected banking institutions.
By 1993, the Antiguans had already come to realize the potential promised by offshore gambling, long before any such company came online. They began booting "unsavory" operators and quickly imposed the strictest licensing fees within the young industry. Antigua was quickly known as one of the safest offshore gambling jurisdictions.
But by 1996, when a number of other offshore shops set up on the island, it was World Wide Tele Sports (now known as BetWWTS.com) that had always held the status of undisputed "leader" among the sportsbooks based in Antigua. The company also helped bring legitimacy to the tiny island nation's burgeoning new industry. WWTS owner is widely rumored to have loaned money out to competitors during troubled times.
Bill Scott was a colorful figure in the world of offshore sports betting but few would argue he couldn't have done it without his long time trustee sidekick, Jessica Davis, who left the company after nearly 14 years of service this past July.
As colorful and well-liked a guy Bill Scott was among his peers, he remains perhaps the most sought after figures by US authorities, who routinely indict Scott for various financial improprieties stemming from his bookmaking activities. Davis has taken the fall along with Scott, receiving her third indictment just prior to her departure in May. But the US authorities have made it clear they are no friends of any operators in the world of offshore gambling. Scott and Davis remain fugitives of the US government. The fact is that while the pair ran World Wide Tele Sports, there had never been a single complaint about slow payments or no payments. The two ran a highly respected company that always paid and treated every customer and employee like they were part of their own family.
World Wide Tele Sports has been Antigua's largest employer since 1996, which might explain why the island nation has been so protective of its online gambling industry.
For the second part of the 1990's, Antigua maintained one of the tightest groups of sports betting operations that consisted of World Wide Tele Sports, World Sports Exchange, Carib and Sports Off Shore. Intertops.com always seemed like the outsider of the bunch, but a highly regarded online gambling enterprise none the same (run back then by Simon Noble of PinnacleSports). NASA or North American Sports Association was another big name Antiguan-based book, which would continue to maintain a license and accounting office on the island. That firm would later move to Costa Rica and break off into Big NASA and Little NASA, now BetonSports.com and BetUS.com, respectively - though there is not much respect for BetonSports these days.
But Antigua would soon suffer a few black eyes along the way. The island powers became greedy by bringing in Starnet (now World Gaming) and allowing the practice of sub-licensees, some of whom failed to live up to Antigua's past high standards. The nation's Gaming Directorate had actually taken on a "consultant" type position with Starnet in the late 90's.
By 2000, Carib had left all but a shell in Antigua while attempting to grow in the Central American nation of Belize. Bobby Eremian, outspoken founder of Sports Off Shore, assumed the role once held by World Sports Exchange's Jay Cohen as the "unofficial" spokesperson for Antigua's online gambling establishments. The Antiguan officials made the mistake of turning Eremian in to US authorities on tax evasion charges. To the industry, this incident dissolved some of the trust once felt towards the Antigua government. And then there was Alladin's Gold, a company started up by a member of Antigua's wealthiest family, the Hadeeds. But family wealth would not prevent Eddie Hadeed from running his book into the ground. He stiffed dozens of customers and Antigua did nothing.
But through it all, World Wide Tele Sports remained the rock of the island along with the much smaller employer, World Sports Exchange.
Scott had always been known as somewhat of an expert when it came to stocks, so not surprisingly he eventually would decide to take his company public.
BetCorp was a reverse merger. BetWWTS.com suddenly found itself trading publicly on the Australian Stock Exchange as BetCorp and until recently, Bill Scott sat as its biggest shareholder.
Bill Scott took a "hands off" role during the company's first year of trading. Aside from this year, it was the most tumultuous time for BetWWTS.com in 2003. The company had reportedly taken a huge hit by entering the Asian market full force and welcoming "sharp" syndicate action. Davis, who remained a force in the company throughout, was actually fired. Scott and others would ultimately demand her return and she did.
A management overhaul was still underway and the company - once known for taking pros of all kind - began shying away from that market and focusing more on a casual web-based core gambler, the type that bets $5 to $20 a game.
Upon the signing of a new law in the US that would seek to restrict some forms of online gambling via banking instruments, publicly traded firms like BetCorp, PartyGaming and Sportingbet, quickly understood the ramifications for its shareholders. Publicly traded internet gambling companies were now vulnerable, mostly as a result of having to disclose the amounts of money derived from US customers. For BetCorp, that meant nearly 85% of its customer base would have to be dissolved and that was simply not an option.
BetCorp sold to Bodog.com this past week, which can be considered a brilliant ending chapter in the colorful and extraordinary history of World Wide Tele Sports (BetWWTS.com). Bodog.com's founder, Calvin Ayre, has assured that all customers (whose accounts are currently froze while waiting for the acquisition to be finalized) will be paid in full shortly.
