Sportsbook Question

Look at the top of the page for some of the main players, although I just read that someone was trying to get an 8K payout from 5 Dimes and they were giving him the run around. I'm with Bodog, BetOnline, and Sportsbook, but I'm a newbie too and haven't tried to withdrawal as of yet.
Also, I've found this section of SBR to be very helpful NFL Odds | NFL Football Real Time Betting Odds.
You can see every major book there and what their lines are, and what they have been since a given line opened.

Cutlers advice is pretty good because you can see a snapshot of how the lines vary. Two books may follow Pinnacle while another like Bookmaker will be a bit different. 5dimes is another reduced juice book so there will often be value especially when everyone has the same odds. It also matters what you bet. If its hlf times, you want the books that put lines out earliest and show lots of line moves. There are others on Sbrodds that vary more but have not been in business as long or rated as high. But ya, the general idea with multiple books is to have options. Paying an extra 5-10 cents off the best line out there, because you didn't have a book funded, is the difference between winning and losing long term.

If you are a recreational gambler betting small amounts I think two or three books would suffice and make sure at least one is reduced juice. If you bet large amounts and are looking to make some big money then yes you would want 5 books or more. What country you live in will greatly affect what books I would recommend. If I am an American I would start with 5dimes and betislands. What sports do you bet on? If you bet baseball you will want to make sure they offer dimelines.
