What is consider a good book?

I have seen hundreds of posts on this and many other sites, looking for reviews to find the better place to bet.

What brings my attention is what some kind of ''bettors'' think a good book is. ''If I don't get a free play, with no deposit, the book is worthless.'' Of course, at the time to ask for the funds back no one wants to wait. 

What is a good book for you?

Go ahead, shoot.

go with offshore and wait months to get paid.

go with local and risk him taking off

go with an online bookie and take his offers of credit without deposits and watch him disappear.

IMO, online bookie (not a big company) is best, but be prepared to give an initial deposit.  Either that or get screwed by people making too-good-to-be-true offers, or wait a long behind time to get paid if you win from offshore.

I have wagered with offshore and some companies take longer than others, but a day or two, never months...

I don't know how someone can trust a bookie... Very easy to collect but do they pay? Talking is easy, collecting player's money is even easier, but at the time of actually getting paid... I don't even want to try them.

B365 is my top book so far and have been with them for a couple years now. No claims at all. Fast deposits, fast payouts, no risk...
