Default VIP Sports

First time poster here.

First of all I like to thank all you for such great knowledge you guys have given out. All your hard work is greatly appreciated!

I have a couple of questions here.

Ive been using VIPSPORTS mainly for all of my sports betting...basketball, football, baseball. Average wager is $200-$1500 ($1500 maybe once a month)
Just want to get your opinion on which sportsbooks you like for certain sports. I recently joined bodog for dogs, just for football because I noticed that they like to favor the favorite by atleast a half point. But all other sports its been VIPSports. I just love their setup, and they accept firepay. Its basic and very user friendly in my opinion.

Any comments ore suggestions about what good book for Dogs and favs for FB and Basketball greatly appreciated!

Thanks and GOOD LUCK

Hey sergfro. Welcome to SBRforum. Don't forget to check out Beat The Prick.

Without getting into a major speech, my primary answer to your query is Pinnacle and Mansion (the exchange). To be honest, I don't know much about Firepay and how that fits into the equation; I use Neteller for everything; but Pinnacle and Mansion consistently have the best values right now IMO.

I don't even feel inclined to break it down too much. Sometimes they have great lines on the favorite side; sometimes the dog. That goes for all sports. I just need to have both outs.

But I expect you'll get some more suggestions here.

I agree with Mudcat with Pinny and Mansion being good choices. You may also want to add 777Rock.

Normally bonuses aren't the main thing I look for but this is an exception. Rock just entered the post up biz and they are giving a 25% sign up bonus.

They have a 10 cent baseball line that breaks at 200 and you will find some opinionated football lines.

I would say VIP is excellent but maybe go with Greek, Carib or Bowmans also to have a little diversity.

Cascade offers -105 which is lowest juice you will find in most cases

777rock is a D+/C- book thats been in biz for a month. raiders, you can read this guy's post and absolutely see he is a poor match for a high risk book credit turned postup book. If he likes VIP why dont you recommend Bet365, BoDog, Bowmans or some other A rated book that he will actually like and appreciate?

Pinny, Bowmans, Wsex and Betjamaica are my fav. books for Baseball.
I dont bet much on NFL, so cant help you there - but basically you cant go wrong with Pinny and the other A+ books on most sports, allthou i think that for example Bet365´s Mlb lines dont have much value.

. ACEKING are right.A+ for this company is a joke. that includes the rest of the family.they don´t let me bet and they also screw you on bonuses.Bet19 B+www.bet19.com BetEuroA-www.beteuro.com BetOnGamesA-www.betongames.com BetOnRacesB+www.betonraces.com FairDealSportsB+www.fairdealsports.com FiveCardCharlieB+www.fivecardcharlie.com GamedayAwww.betgameday.com VIP SportsbookA+www.vipsportsbook.com WSSBB+www.wssbsport.com
bet 365 is another A+company that limit you if you win. my limit at the moment is to win 75$ on totals. MLB. their manager told me....it´s business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


pinnacle is number A...they accept everyone...include winners. olympic also accept winners. wsex and hollywood too, jazz is a good out too. and 5 dimes got 5 cents lines overnight. bet there with maximum limit to win500$.( thats okey for me) wwts is okey too.

good luck and stay with the good ones.......

aceking.....i havent been getting any bonuses from vip sports because my lifetime earnings is in the plus side....i'm at +3900 so is that true about lowering your limits if you're a liftetime winner of 5k+? that sucks..I like this book. SBR shows its a R sportsbook, so I guess so...oh well

Well my limits at VIP are cut to 1000 on sides 500 on totals, I really can't complain the only thing I would bet more than that on would be a scalp. Although the one shady thing they did was cut my free payouts down to two 2500's per week when they advertise unlimited free payouts, although this is unlikely to be a problem anymore with the dime limits

Cris is definately more of a book if you bet big and bet early lines

WWTs is in between the casual player and the bigger player

Both very strong books
