TIP 1
The most important factor to choosing a Sportsbook must first be the quality of the Sportsbook. There are simply too many cases where a player unknowingly joined a Sportsbook by way of some special hook usually a bonus or improved odds then goes on the roll of a lifetime, only later to learn the Sportsbook has stopped paying its customers.



TIP 2
Make sure the book you select has limits suitable to your style of play.

TIP 3
Make sure the book you join offers the sports you like to play. If your a baseball player find a book with .10 lines such as VIP, Intertops, Pinnacle, Gameday and WWTS.

TIP 4
Care for an occasional game of blackjack or craps? Then by all means find a book that doesn't require you to log in to the casino or transfer funds. VIP comes to mind and they have a great casino with $1 minimums.

TIP 5
The Bonus - for those of you who skipped straight down to here shame on you. All of the books listed on Sportsbook Review pay a handsome bonus with the exception of WWTS which specializes in larger players and simply doesn't have to pay much of a bonus.

I had read this on the Sports Book Review front page before I found this forum and that is why I stopped here. Is there a good book to read about sports wagers so I do not have to ask alot of stupid questions? The list for baseball sights is a good start but is there a quick list for football when that season starts?

Guapo, I was the same as you 6 months ago. The best newbie information I found was at www.sportsbookpal.com. It talks about the rudiments of arbs, middles, picking books, and has a useful line converter. This place got me past the training-wheel phase. Check it out.
