All I can say is...
WTF???
Sportsbook.com at #14 and 5 Dimes/Bet Jamaica (just to name a couple) don't even make the list?
Have you been drinking today Coach? I know it is your day off so I will cut you some slack.

5 Dimes is a much better book than many of those listed in my opinion.
Bet Jamaica is ONLY financially backed by Olympic. They are a completely seperate business and completely different operation in all other areas. Bet Jamaica is going to be coming out with a horse betting system you are going to die for Coach. You will need to get money there once it goes live. I will be testing out the beta and report back to you.
In my opinion, Bet Jamaica is a top 5 book and could be moving even higher when Scotty gets his poker and horses up. |

JJ: Yesterday u said sportsbook.com was an average book with 1976 software...here u have them rated #14 out of thousands of books?
And yes Greek and Jamica are owned by the same people...but if u look at their baseball lines, there is quite a bit of differecne.
5dimes should make the list b/c of all the things u bet on..it's a no brainer. You can bet Mexican League Baseball...5dimes has to be on that list somewhere.

If he can't, I'll hook you up BuddyBear. I'll see if I can't grab you some other stuff from them as well. |

jj ... Bodog is not on there? ... Easily the most user friendly site around ... Good bonuses, and reliable customer service ... I tried VIP for a short while ... Prehistoric website ... I'm still laughing about their VIP reward program ... No bonus when funding by instant check ... The Fox

That's a weird list. I wouldn't know where to start analyzing that.
But focusing on the positive, I agree that Pinnacle is #1 !!

I'm not sure how seriously people would take this list but I feel I should point out that people need to watch out for those last 5. I frequently hear of people around here looking for reduced juice books; well unless you're in the market for very high juice books, you won't want them.
They are very bad for North American sports. They will have better coverage of some international sports - but with very high juice.

Ranking books is not easy to nail. JJ's list is good although Sportsbook.com is a bit out of place in there. I think you have to have BetFair in there.

I doubt we would see Gamebookers and Sportsbook on many Top 25s but thats the point of looking at different opinions.
It would be great if every poster had a top 25 list or even a much shorter list from those who haven't been around the block as many times. Maybe thats something we can add to the forum profiles.

If you are ranking books by volume, probably no one. By the level service....there are quite a few choices. |

Gamebookers is a real powerhouse as far as Euro betting so they had to be on the list
They probably havel triple the customer base as a Greek or Pinny

Pinnacle overall is the best book in the world but far from perfect. They are not good for "small dollar amount" players, especially if you don't withdrawal over 500/time. Their CS is shit, absolute crap, in fact down right insulting. How good are they even with that said, I always have an account there, lol. What are you going to do?

hmm, i cant agree with "pinnacles customer service is pure crap". Sure, they dont have phone numbers and stuff, but hey thats why i play over the net - i dont need that, and the average email is answered in a few minutes.
