Pinnacle is the only A+ book IMO.
This kind of rating second-guessing comes up all the time and in my experience, the most common books mentioned as undeserving of A+ are VIP and Bet365. WWTS and Bodog tend to be next on the list for second-guessing.
Which one you are thinking of BL, I have no idea but I'll lob a guess out there. I'm not a big mind-reader but something in my subconscious is telling me VIP so that's what I'll say.
What do I win if I'm right?

My approach to books is to find out what corner of the market they excel at. By combining their specialties I can create a personal 'superbook'. Books like VIP, WWTS, and Bodog from that perspective are a waste of time, but that doesn't mean they're not good at what they offer. Their target audience is the general public, which is not the same audience that frequents this forum. Why spend negative energy on a book that no longer fits your needs? Most likely, the book didn't change. You did. And, remaining in the realm of probability, that could be a good thing.![]()

Just how I see them:
Bet365 A+ (limits players very strictly)
BetCris A+ (altogether the A rating is correct)
BetFair A+ (correct)
BetJamaica A+ (I prefer TheGreek)
Bodog A+ (Has dual lines and only USD accounts)
Ladbrokes A+ (limits but better than Bet365)
Pinnacle Sports A+ (of course A+)
The Greek A+ (A+ is correct in my opinion)
VIP Sports A+ (limits, never an A+ book)
WSEX A+ (only accounts in USD, but apart from that good)
WWTS A+ (has dual lines, no A+ book)

Bold don't deserve the A+ rating in my eyes. No opinion on BF and Ladbrokes as I have never played there.Originally Posted by bigloser

Pinny is a great gambler's book. They are (should) on everyone's must have list because of the juice. I'd list these books with Pinny as for as being 'solid':
WSEX
OLY
CRIS
GRANDE

bet $3.65 and wwts don't belong in the A+ category IMO...bodog and VIP on very shaky ground in the A+ arena as well...
