If You Had To Choose One Sportsbook?
Let's just say a law came out that made it illegal
for a player to wager at more than one sportsbook.
If You Had To Choose One Sportsbook Which One
Would You Stick With??

Pinnacle probably will receive 75% of the votes here, including yours truly.

No choice but Pinnacle.
The best lines anywhere, usability ten times better than any other book, posted (high) limits so no "your bet exceeds..." etc and other such faffing around, more lines than any other book...endless list.
Actually, it beats me why the "giants" like Cris, WWTS, Bodog etc have such standing. There is nothing that ANY of them have that Pinnacle does not have at least twice as much of. It takes no more than the briefest bit of line-shopping between another "giant" and Pinnacle to ascertain that Pinnacle is in a league of its own.
Absolutely beats and befuddles me why anyone plays anywhere else.

I think the votes for ewinner and richcoastsports might be a joke. My vote for Betroyal certainly was.
You can add another vote for Pinnacle here. Although I prefer exchanges, you're pretty much guaranteed on getting the best prices at Pinnacle.

For an all year round out, it would definitely be Pinnacle. If I had to pick a 2nd option it might be 5Dimes.

I would stop betting...
... actually, I would break the law and use more than one book just like I am breaking the law right now (by betting online).

Good old Pinnacle, followed a very close second by Cris.
Tough to beat Pinny.

Mansion, low juice and less line shading than Pinnacle. Pinnacle is too sharp, Mansion I might be able to actually beat.

If Pinnacle is your pick you probably have to play overnight and early lines. Bodog would give you a chance too with the bonus on every deposit.

Pinny has to be sharp, offering the lines they do. Can't be square.

It's hard to go wrong with Pinnacle but it does tend to be a little advanced. As i've said....pinnacle is a book you work your way up too when you begin to feel comfortable.
I made quite a few mistakes when i first started betting like playing with garbage books like sportsbook.com, allpro, sports.com, etc...
Realistically if you are a beginner I would take a serious look at betjamica...good lines, lighting quick payouts at no cost, great customer service (they will email you back in less than ten minutes)...it's a really great book.
I've heard good and bad about Bodog...a lot of great posters like Pags really like them but I've heard some bad things about them which is troubling...i am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt though since SBR has them ranked so high. I think WWTS is also good.
But if i had to do it all over again I would start with Betjamica.

Why do u think AllPro was a garbage book? I started like 4-5 years ago on AllPro and remain there to this day. I had a huge run back in mid October and made about 15k and cashed it out with no problems. Im thinking of leaving now because I want lines earlier than noon for college basketball, but other than that, I have no problems. Was just curious as to why you would lable it "a garbage book".
BTW - Im joining Pinnocle once the nfl season ends since everyone claims it to better than sliced bread...
