Default book with the best odds?

Which bookies have the best odds available?

Right now I am using Iasbet.com [Australian bookies] and very please with them.. Their odds are one of the best I found on the internet...

HOWEVER, they dont offer odds for American's college basketball game... Therefore, I want to move to a bookie that offers college basketball game odds..

I wandered around for more than an hour looking for the website that offer a good odds [ 5dimes, bodog, betmaker, etc]. However, I found that the odds offered by these bookies are way too low comparing to the odds offered by Iasbet..

For example, the odd for Cardiff + 1 for tomorrow's FA Cup games is 2.23 ( +123 ) in Iasbet where in most bookies that I just visited above was around 1.85 ( -117 ) . It is like WOW..

so in conclusion, what is the American bookies that have college basketball game line that offer the best odds on the internet?

ANy help would be appreciated

Try the Heroes Casino.
I do not know if is better or worse than iasbet.
But has good odds and payouts are fast.
The only problem are the low limits.

why not have two books?

also what was the other side of that line? Looks like you're either misreading the line or have a very nice arb available.

Well, the obvious...Pinnacle. And it never hurts to add a few books that don´t follow Pinny blindly (or are just slow).
Matchbook = very good for U.S. sports, and useless for soccer.

Iasbet have rubbish odds - they used to be a lot better. Try Pinnacle, easily the best book anywhere. For soccer, 12bet can match them. For college basketball, betphoenix and heroes are as good.

i will try looking at the odds of those websites you guys referred me to..

And NO, I didnt misread the line... I couldnt believe it at first because the odd was so MUCH DIFFERENT.. however, i calculate that i could not make any arbitrage profit whatsoever.. it is just the line for the US bookies were way too low on that FA cup match..

i just checked Pinnacles Sport .. They have a similar odds to the one that I have on Iasbet... But I believe they dont accept American players??

Is there any bookie out there with similar odds as Pinnacle that accepts US players?

I would also like to bet a lot on ALL basketball game and soccer mainly so it would be great if the bookies have many betting options for these 2 sports ( 1st quarter line, 1st half, player props, etc)

Thanks in advance

They really aren't that close - Pinnacle and 12bet are 8c (eg -104 lines), Iasbet/Canbet are 12c. Something like 24hours before the match, pinnacle and 12bet go to 5c.

Check out betphoenix, they do 10c and take US players. Also good lines on soccer from Asian books at 188bet, sbobet, mansion88 - dunno if they allow US players though.

Indeed Asian books have good lines/odds but the problem there is that if not all of them, most of them does not accept players from the US though HeeeHawwww is correct. The sites that he had mentioned are all good if not the best.

Betfair reign supreme on odds, winners never ever stopped no maximum limits nothing, only issue being their stupid 5% comission for most punters but even then their odds are better than anyone elses.

But they dont take USA customers unfortuantly so probably a useless post

I think there are very few times that you can not find better odds than what betfair are offering. This is on all markets and all props. 5% commision
