right now I use:
bet365
interwetten
expekt
pinnacle
fonbet

stopped using
betcris
wsex
5dimes

between betcris and wsex, betcris is still much better.

as for 5dimes, i found their withdrawal fees unreasonable since the other gave "free withdrawals".

It's the funding/withdrawing options is where the problems are coach. I'm not trying to defend any books at all here, but it does take some time to put together a new plan to workout those types of issues.

The new payment card seemed like a great idea by jamica...but the more I look into it, the more problems I see with it. $4.95 a month just to have it.

I think the answer to this question depends entirely on if you are located within the USA or not.

Perhaps the question should be, are there 5 good books left for players in the USA

I would say, at least fo the time being YES

Greek/Jamaica
CRIS
youwager
tradewinds
Legendz
WSEX

and probably a few more.

In my opinion these are the only books that still take US players that I would trust to stay afloat no matter what new obstacles come in the near future and pay if they got shutdown.

Greek
CRIS
Bodog(square book, but still rock solid financially)
BetJamaica
Diamond
5 Dimes
WSEX

I'm not sold on VIP.

Greek/BJ, WSEX/Matchbook, CRIS.

If you see the panic wave caused by the arrest of two former Neteller execs, -almost a non-event-, you can bet your ass that the US government would love to get its rabid teeth into Calvin Ayre. Bodog is too high profile to be among the safest books. (if this were a movie, I'd assume that Ayre would be history as soon as the US outspends him on the CR police).

WSEX/Matchbook may be the safest from a legal perspective, because of where they're located.

BoDog is not in CR anymore. They are now in Antigua.

Nobody is any good. I would not trust anyone at the moment.
