         I'm currently with sportsinteraction, but their vig seems high many times compared to others.  To my understanding, 5dimes is widely recommended, and I'm hearing bad things about Bodog lately. 

        I'd like to open up two new accounts, so what other book would you recommend?

         Many thanks in advance!

    I've had some issues with 5dimes in the past but I would still recommend them to everyone, especially US players. Best book out there for US players.

    Other than 5dimes, I'd recommend Bookmaker because its one of the most stable books out there in terms of your money being safe.

    Steel -- if you can get into Pinnacle I'd recommend them before any other book in the world... they don't accept US players though, so 5dimes is really your best option

    Let me guess, you are looking at the favorites. Sportsinteraction is a book best placed to bet the underdog because it is a square book and the vast majority of their customers blindly play the faves. hence SIA being able to juice the faves because the squares will still play them.

    I would recommend 5Dimes and taking advantage of their reduced juice. I would also keep some money at SIA in case a day comes when you might like an underdog. In some games of NFL this week they are already a full point higher on the favorite. That sucks if you are a chalk eater but great if you like playing dogs.

    Good call syddigs. 

         I did notice SIA is higher on the faves.  Sometimes on the dogs too, but not as much.  What I need to do, and I will, is open up several accounts so that I can take advantage of what you mentioned.  Any serious sports bettor needs to do that.  You can always get better vig somewhere else if you look.  Over time we're talking about thousands of dollars, maybe tens of thousands depending on how much you wager.

    5dimes offered up a prop. I banged them and it was much disputed (and documented) in the forums. Long story short, they owed me well over 5k. I was paid via cashiers checks within 2 weeks. Solid as fuck, but Tony is a box.

         Many thanks in advance!

    I went to 5dimes after betED fucked me out of $1800   5dimes also has a free Monday for withdrawls.
