Pinny wins....LOL and they dont take US players...again LOL

Not 1 person voted for SBG Global...I guess one of the largest and oldest books cant get no love on this site.

An who plays at bet $3.65 because thats the most you can ever bet if you win w/ them

Good list. With all due respect, I think the top 5 is better than the official SBR top 5.

Good to see that WSEX beat out Bookmaker. My only question is why BJ ended up higher than the Greek. That seems strange.

Top 5 books that received most second place votes:
1) Matchbook
2) The Greek
3) 5Dimes
4) Betjamaica
5) WSEX

Huh! That looks even better.

We have quite a few non-Americans here on SBR Forum; and we make every effort to provide information to an international audience ... not just US-based players.

BTW, the link to the Matchbook review doesn't show a review, as with the other top books. Looking forward to that one...

I think the more competitive pricing for bases put Betjm over The Greek. And since this poll was done over the beginning of baseball season it may have biased the results in that direction. Although the Greek has higher limits and a few other things...they are both excellent books.

Any time you have self-selection for a poll, the results should be taken with a grain of salt and interpretted cautiously. The size of the poll matters little compared to how the sample was obtained. A more representative sample of online gamblers would likely produce much different results.

jjgold · 06-01-2007, 07:15 PM

Yeh this poll meant nothing

If there were 200 jjgold's voting you then you have a credible and accurate result

You speak very highly of that site.Why do you think they get a D- rating on .sbr? I might have to check out, good for nfl?

That to start with, but also do you think that the real profs will tell you where they get their money from?

rjt721 · 06-01-2007, 10:19 PM

Who voted bodog #1? That should be a bannable offense.

BigBollocks · 06-01-2007, 10:36 PM

I actually think that's a pretty damn good result. Of course there are always going to be representatives of sites (such as the guy at the top with 30 posts that are all about D- SBG) who vote for their own shilling interests, but all in all I can't argue one bit with the top ten...
