DSI (SBR Rated A+) is a solid book. Although BetOnline (SBR Rated A-) does offer full track odds.

I say the best sports books for horses in no specific order are Bookmaker, DSI, Wagerweb, Carib, and Betonline. They have fair payout max caps on exotics.

Thanks for the information. Diamond Sportsbook offers a daily rebate of 8% will be paid on all internet exotic bets. 3% on all Win, Place and Show wagers. I have read pleanty of good things about Diamond Sportsbook but i dont know much about Betonline. They are offering up to 7% in daily rebates win or lose at the racebook and 4 % at new york tracks. This is almost double of what Diamond Sportsbook is giving you. Any information on Betonline.

I would say whatever sportsbook you make a choice with. Give them a call and wheel and deal and try and get the highest % bonus for your money. Play lets make a deal with them, shop around like you do a car.

If you like to bet up until the race goes off, then my top five picks are:

1. Betonline (CS good)
2. Bookmaker-DSI (CS good)
3. eHorse (CS good)
4. Bodog (CS poor)
5. Wagerweb (CS poor)

CS means racebook call-in customer service

Don't take the Bookmaker bonus if you only play horses. Racebook action doesn't count towards roll-over there.

Since you didn't say where you live..... If you're in the US I'd suggest Xpress Bet.

Here's the main reason, After popping a couple of trifecta's, I asked for two payouts...... One an overnight check which SHOWED UP THE NEXT DAY and the fee was ONLY $14.
The second via regular mail which showed up in four days.

Adding, with Xpress bet being in the US, depending on your win it could be taxed.
See their rules and regs for a clear answer.

Doesn't xpressbet have EFTs? If you're wagering at a U.S. horse site, you should'nt be paying any fees to get paid.

Twinspires.com is a terrific site, although the rewards program is not that good. But it won't cost you anything to cash in or out, and they do have a $100 sign-up bonus. They also have a rewards program, but it's not that great. But you do get something back when you wager a lot.

I would like to add that Betonline does not pay rebates on many minor racetracks

Bodog offers real odds on most tracks for all type bets to a max payout amount. Especially major tracks. They also offer rebates. Xpressbet is okay. They dont's serve all jurisdictions. Maybe somebody can give input about youbet.com? They seem decent.
