    Hello everyone,

    I am new to sports betting. I registered with betonline.ag but I feel that I should have done a bit more research first. I have not made a deposit just yet and I am not planning to for some time. I saw on a page that it was the best site, however, I have also seen people call them scammers. I am not sure what to believe yet because I have not found too many negative nor positive reviews on it. Are there any sites that members of this site would recommend? I mainly plan on betting on NBA and NCAA Basketball games given that the NFL season is over. I appreciate the help. 

    Thanks all!

    This has been discussed on several occasions, and without question, Heritage Sportsbook is the best sportsbook that is available today.

     5dimes -vs- Heritage

    when you actually WIN at either one of them; watch what happens when you request a withdrawal of your winnings.....using an offshore service is not only frustrating, but they don't have to pay up, and there's not a fuckin' thing you can do about it, nor is there anywhere you can go to report irregularities on your behalf, you're trapped the minute you send them your BR....unfortunately not everyone has access to the legal side of sports betting (Nevada) find a real-time local bookmaker in your area who's been around for years with local references, they're everywhere in all major hubs, and not that difficult to find, online is not for the serious sports better, with the departure of Pinnacle from the U.S. market went the only sportsbook of merit available to American players. Try playing a Twin $1000 parlay at any book available to americans, 5dimes and Heritage included (if they even consider taking this wager; maybe, maybe not) see what happens when, and if you WIN, then, and only then will you comprehend the advantage of Nevada or a 'local'.....

Try playing a Twin $1000 parlay at any book available to americans, 5dimes and Heritage included (if they even consider taking this wager; maybe, maybe not) see what happens when, and if you WIN, then, and only then will you comprehend the advantage of Nevada or a 'local'.....

     

    I'm glad I decided to return to this post before I made a deposit. I was just about to make one in a few minutes after I asked what is probably the safer way to deposit a few bucks. That sucks man, I was excited about it. I am not a big time better. I have a local book. The only problem with him is that his lines are usually off by 2 to 3 points sometimes and it messes with my picks after i already had done a little research on my picks. I end up at the place getting stumped with his different line numbers and not knowing who i should bet on. Another issue is that he doesn't really let people bet until maybe 30 minutes before tip-off. Idk if thats a standard thing for books to do but sometimes I like to just go in early and place a bet. It could also just be more overthinking my picks haha. But thanks bro, your insight is appreciated.

    Nitrogen - big or small .  It's the way of the future.  Learn how to use it.

    You'll get payout within minutes.  If you're a small-time bettor, then you can't bet the ease of funding and cashing out with no fees.  

    Heritage is a great traditional book.  If you use Bitcoin, you can get a payout M-F within 24 hours.  

    Goodluck

    Goodluck finding a "local" that is comfortable taking 1k-10k bets, let alone paying out any kind of parlay over a couple thousand.  

    Never had an issue with large payouts from Heritage.  I would never be comfortable placing a 10k bet with a local.

    Jesus Christ man. "Only problems" those are major issues. Lines are 2-3 off? You kidding me? No bets until 30 mins before tip off? Come on man.. Get with the times, does your bookie write every bet on a notebook too?

    I've been using a local that pays via venmo as well.  Website is well maintained.  Its perfect.  He offers great incentives too.  Not sure I'll ever go back to a company.

    What type of size does Nitrogen accept? Do they limit your bet/win amounts? 

    Sounds like a solid book, especially for where bitcoin is taking the industry...but can you bet size, like you can at Pinnacle or 5D?

    Thanks!
