    So two of the top 10 are gone. Two do not allow wagering from the U.S. Two more are aparently not what they once were. Interesting.

    Top 3 are still the same.

    Hollywood was sold, everyone got paid.
    VIP is still solid they just don't take new US players.
    WSEX is failing.
    5dimes moved up.
    Jamaica moved up.
    365 blows.
    Cascade failed and stole everyone's money.
    WWTS was sold everyone got paid.
    Skybook still operates.
    Bodog is about the same.
    Mansion quit, everyone got paid.
    Legendz moved up.

    Pinny is still #1.

    The sour grapes of yanks won't change it.

    Ok, now what lessons can be learned from this...

    1.Keep a very small portion of your bankroll in any one book.
    2.Keep only a portion of your bankroll offshore.
    3.The consensus was actually pretty good for that date, which should make you even more conservative with the amount of your bankroll that should be kept offshore.

    None of those books went bankrupt, Cascade is a strange story though. They owe players but still operate.

    Betfair is top exchange book in world

    How does Betphoniex or Betmania not get any credit? I mean you can parlay any sport together, they have the most comepetitive lines besides pinny obviously.....Ive cashed out thousands without ever having a problem or extended wait.......I had an issue with them on their rollovers a cpl times and started out sour when I first opened an account but I think they have gotten over all that bickering over stupid bonuses and penny-pinching now and are working at becoming a top notch site. Are they in trouble or something?

    2006 ratings, I believe...the original post is on the best books as of 2006 and where are they now.

    You can take your finger off the panic button.
