Default Beginner in Need of some advice

So I stumbled upon this site when I was looking for a review of my current book: sportsbetting.com. I'm so glad I did, now that I realize this is not a very good book, I will not deposit anything more into it and will chose a better one.

What would you recommend? From what I'm seeing on this website I'm thinking 5dimes or betjamaica.
My first deposit will be fairly small (under $100) so I'm thinking about saving 5dimes for awhile until I get my bankroll up so I can achieve a greater bonus upon my first deposit.

Also I've heard and read from sportsbetting.com that some books want A LOT of info to verify identity before paying withdrawls. Is this normal? I feel a little uneasy providing my ID, front/back side of my CC, signed forms, electric bills and whatever else they are asking for. This seems like I'd be setting myself up for identity theft.

On a final note, if electric bill is a common requirement, I'm currently a college student, living in an apartment a state away from my home. Which address should I use? As of now, I do plan to stay at this apartment for a year and a half, but there is no guarantee, and I like to use my parents house as a permanent address for everything.

Betjam may match you $100 on initial deposit, but betting options edge goes to 5Dimes.

Both are good and popular.

I suggest depositing exactly $100 to BetJamaica and getting the $100 free play for $100 deposit bonus, send ** and you should not have to worry about any paper work

I'm assuming ** is **? That brings up another question I have. I liked how sportsbetting.com allowed me to use my ****, looks like that A books do not allow bonus's on creditcards. What are the best deposit options for me. I'm looking for low or non existant fee's and good security.

Thanks in advance for your help

** is between $7 and $15, and yes **, depending on country sending to, most A+ books don't give bonuses for ************, however if you get a prepaid ******** card youy can get a 100% bonus up to $200 at betphoenix with a card. I suggest skipping the wjole CC BS if possible so there are no holds or documents required. If you do use a CC make sure to send all documents at the time of deposit and get an email confirmation that thebooks got your paperwork, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL PAYOUT TIME!
