I vote for TheGreek.

I can really only remember one dispute with them that stood out like a sore thumb, and that was the F1 race a few years back. I believe that was the race when only 6 cars actually raced, because of the tire problem.

1. Wsex: Clearest and fastest website, never any problem.
They donīt mind if you catch a good steam line, because their software is automated. Great on Neteller payouts.

2. Bookmaker: Higher limits than Wsex on most stuff, specially totals. Earliest lines. Good loyalty program (until you are kicked, but itīs only fair that they can do that).
Not as good on payouts as Wsex. Also i donīt like the website.

3. Greek claims to be a book for professionals, but a guy named Wally will close your account rather fast if you play steam there.
I guess that is because their software sucks, and allows several punters to hit the same line before it is changed manually.
Good on payouts, early lines and CS besides that tho.
Wsex and Bookmaker are much better than the Greek for a Pro.

A little off topic and I am sure this has been discussed already but, but why is matchbook rated an A- and WSEX an A+? They are the same place. I reckon is has something to do with the website or something trivial?

Same parent company.
But they are not the same place.
They are operated by different staffs.

wsex only accepts USD...not very convient if your currency is not USD. pinnacle has the most currency options. greek is pretty nice, but they don't have HKD.
