What Sportsbook do you use?

Tommy · 06-26-05, 10:15 AM

I would be interested to see what different Sportsbooks and Poker rooms people here use?

I use 5 Dimes and have been for the past 5 years now. I also have accounts at alot of other places, but 5 Dimes is where most of my action goes. I believe its imperative to have more than 1 book to shop lines so you can get the best possible odds for a particular play that you like.

You?

like you man i have accounts at a bunch of different places...used to like 5 dimes but i've had a bunch of issues with them grading wagers so i moved away from them and since have been using diamond and love it..

Tommy · 07-02-05, 07:01 PM

Yeah Naught, Diamond and Cris are solid Books.

Thats wierd that 5 Dimes grades your wagers too slow. I never have a problem. They grade all of my wagers within 5 minutes of the games end. Except for Tennis, they can be a little longer. I dont have this issue too many times as I mostly have enough not to worry about that anyway.

Everyone uses a local?

naught33 · 07-09-05, 06:31 PM

I can't imagine that many ppl use locals....I haven't used a local since college, I have more faith in these offshore books than I do locals, lol

Tommy · 07-11-05, 11:52 PM

No, Havent used Royal. At least there name isn't Loyal

naught33 · 07-12-05, 07:54 AM

ive heard some mixed things about royal, but never used them myself..i think a few yrs ago i opened an account there but never deposited $$.....5 dimes is good if you like to bet a lot of tennis....i like diamond as well, and they let you bet 2nd half of mlb games, LOL, which can be very profitable!
