I play at Bodog but they are far from the best for the following reasons that really annoy:
*late posting of lines, for all sports (better books are days ahead of them)
*even later posting of moneyline spreads (football moneylines rarely go up at Bodog before gameday)
*they often "circle" certain games, usually ones I really want to bet big, but by circling they limit bets on these (like the Denver Nuggets tonight). Also, when they circle it, they don't allow you to use it in a teaser or parlay.
*they tend to not offer moneyline bets when the spread is small (like 2 points in basketball or football) or if the spread is large

Anyway, my top 5 (early lines is a must):

Cris
Pinnacle
wwts
jamaica
bodog
