Default help me find a new book

Hey guys, you probably remember me posting last week how i like bos. Thank god, I got 20k in payouts in the past two weeks. Still have money in my account there, but nothing to go nuts over. Well, I hope everything works out for them, but i am looking for a new book. I know everyone loves pinnacle, but i don't want to use them because I really need more support via the phone. And I really dislike the betting format for olympic. With that said, can you all recommend me a book? An average play for me is a couple of dimes, so I don't think 5dimes is for me. Thanks for all the help

i think Cris would be a nice out for you when football season comes, but i wouldn't be playing any bases there at all due to the high vig.

i agree with the the book that Doug mentioned above in Mansion.

If you want the best lines, the safest operations, the fastest payouts, and you could go on - choose either pinnacle or mansion.

I don't know if you can actually make a bet on the phone, never tried. I doubt it. Pinny is no good for phone either, higher vig.

Out of interest, why do you need 24/7 phone support? Nothing wrong that you do, but it's something that doesn't bother me in the slightest - just curious as to why you value it.

taco,
I really can't explain it. It's just that I normally have a lot of money in these books, and I just feel comforted by the fact that I can call whenever I want and talk to someone. Obviously the average person could care less if they could get through to someone at 3 in the morning, but I am a freak.

IMHO, you'd be making a substantial mitstake if you allowed this to keep you from doing business with Pinnacle.

Their phone support, btw, is open about 12 or so hours a day.

I think you can call Mansion 24/7 and chat with them, just not bet.

I know i've said this before but it stands to reason (for me at least). IMO, you should keep yourself funded with a service such as Neteller or moneybookers. That way can move in and out of any book, at any time, as lines and odds dictate.
