    Default What is the Best Book?

    Hey guys, so I am looking for the best book for mlb wagering. Other sports do not really matter what so ever. So far I am thinking of Pinnacle because I like their layout and already have an account there from a few seasons ago.

    Anyone have any input or is Pinnacle good enough?

    Being from the U.S. I have no opinion on pinnacle.

    Mine would be 5Dimes and matchbook. Matchbook has the best juice and 5dimes has the best options with reduced juice. If you're betting spring training, 5dimes had runlines and totals for the most part but I'm not sure if Matchbook did.

    Will not be betting spring training most likely. I am not in the USA so that will no affect me. Can you offer any reasons why 5Dimes is better for MLB than the others? Thanks!

    Matchbook has been historically the best book but I have heard that there may be some underlying issues with them as a company as of late.

    For a non US customer you'll want to use 5dimes, Pinnacle. Matchbook has been good in the past, but you may be better off using Betfair (I'm not sure which of the two exchanges is better myself because I live in the USA and don't have access to Betfair.)

    As a non-American you really can't go wrong with Pinnacle. Low juice and they will take a lot of action.

    I use BetCris, which is like BookMaker for US customers.
    Every book will have different juice, but in variety, look for
    Sides, Totals, RL
    Listed Pitchers
    2.5 RL
    Reverse RL
    First half bets
    First half 0.5 RL
    2hd half
    In Progress 2nd half
    Team Totals
    1st inning Scoring (Yes/no and 1st team to score)

    If your book has the offer, it is good

    Care to elaborate? I've never had a problem with them. I know people have had their limits cut there and they are kind of miserly with their casino players, but the reduced juice they offer on overnight lines is awesome.

    Bet Jamica is in a league of there own. Very good book, I've been with them for 8 yrs., there baseball options are awsome.

    You're lucky to have pinnacle. Matchbook and 5Dimes are both great. Basically any book with early lines and/or reduced juice. Can't hurt having too many outs.

    i would second matchbook for mlb, they usually give a bigger discount for mlb so you pay even less juice.

    Greek has 20 cent baseball lines unless they have changed recently, but I don't think so.

    Guys,

    I will transfer ALL my Greek account to Matchbook during baseball season.

    Betjamaica's lines are also not bad (overnight lines are good but limits are low) but Matchbook is OUTSTANDING.

    Since there's no basketball, football and hockey to follow during summer, baseball liquidty in Matchbook will skyrocket as usual

    I would agree with this, and if you can add a third (local???), then you should be fine.

    5dimes by far. The Greek isn't bad either from what I've heard.
