    Default new guy

    I've been reading the forum for the past 2 months and finally got around to registering today. Was wondering if you guys could help me pick a book to put my $ into. I have used VIP, and BoDog in the past, but these books just don't seem to be as reliable anymore. Here's some information to help you give me some advice:
    I will be depositing between $600-$800. I typically bet lines and usually am on the underdogs. I only bet football and basketball (pro's and college). Probably strongest in college B-ball during conference play. Like to do a parlay/teaser from time to time. Looking to get a good deposit bonus and of course reliability. Will start of betting $60 per game. I don't bet every game on the board. Usually 2-3 strong plays/week. Consider myself to be above average with good money management skills, but have never had much to invest into gambling as I am paying my way through school. Once I am done with that I will definitely put more money into account.
    Based off this I think many of you will tell me Matchbook since I bet sides, but do they offer parlays of any sort or a deposit bonuse? Well thanks to anybody taht can offer help. Once I deposit (in the next 2 weeks) I will definitely post all my plays at the forum. If you want to see my picks my username on Wagerline.com is dizzyd17. I haven't picked there in awhile since I don't bet baseball, but you can tell from there I am strong on basketball. Many of my losses on there were just trying to start streaks and betting MLB or NHL (which I have never bet actualy $ on). At the same time somehow did ok in Arena which I don't bet on either. Well thats all I got. Hope you can help me out. I am probably leaning towards maybe splitting my money in Mathchbook and then BetJamaica or TheGreek. But am open to suggestions.
    Appreciate any advice!!

    My personal reccomendation would be 5Dimes, and that's because you'll find all the lines there that Olympic has, but when you do put on those teasers and parlays (I make my bread and butter on Pac-10 BB parlays, so I know) 5Dimes has the best payouts I've found. Of course Matchbook and Olympic have great advantages too, but a few bucks with 5Dimes usually pays in the long run.

    First off, Welcome to the SBR forum sir

    You've already mentioned this one in your post, but I would recommend BetJamaica. There part of the Spiro family of books, and the guy will sell one of his kidneys to pay you if need be.

    thanks for the response guys.
    I am leaning towards making a 1st time deposit at betjamaica in the near future before ncaa football starts. Do any of you know what the best deposit method is with them? looking like i will do a DC or ***************. does a certain deposit method not make me eligible for the sign-up bonus? i will definitely post all my plays (and unit amounts) on the forum come football season. Looking at week NFL week 1 lines not much came to me other then I like the Texans -1 vs KC. Hoping the line will move a little maybe after LJ signs to play it though. Thanks again.
