Whats going on guys,

Any one has one of these sportsbooks mentioned in my title, just wanted to know how it was treating you. Any complaints? Im thinking of opening up several sportsbooks accounts and these were the ones that interested me. Wanted to hear from people that already have an account with them and how was it coming along? Thanks guys.

All are solid. Of the list, I prefer BetJamaica, Greek and 5dimes

[HeeeHAWWWW]

All pretty solid. Betphoenix have better lines than the other books mentioned, matchbook have better lines than any of them (especially on MLB with the 0.6% commission).

If you can use them, pinnacle trump them all though.

I like 5dimes cheap payouts only 15 bucks

Of the ones listed in the topic I would go with two: BetJamaica and Matchbook.
BetJamaica is solid and they have a lot of options. They have a decent intro bonus if you want to take that as well. The only complaint I have with them though is that their cs are sloooow and overworked. Plan ahead if you need them for anything as it will take you a couple of tries to get them on live chat. E-mails are usually answered within a few hours.

If you get on a nice winning streak with BetJamaica I would then open an account with Matchbook and use interbook transfer, transfer some of your winnings from BetJamaica to Matchbook. If I remember correctly it is free to both send and receive money by sportsbook transfer, and that is a huge advantage. Matchbook's odds are the finest you can get. Options like props and more obscure wagers are limited, so I would suggest using BetJam for that.

The reason you shouldn't start with Matchbook is because it costs you too much to deposit. If you lose all your money and have to keep depositing you will quickly spend $50 in fees for deposits alone. Sure the odds make up for most of that, but because of the limitation in markets you would likely be better off starting with Jamaica and then transfer.

Bookmaker has great cs, a nice freeplay bonus if you are in to that (25% if you have the code that is going around right now), but not the best odds. For instance baseball moneyline is 20c. They have free payouts (only once per month?) on fridays up to $2500 if I remember correctly. For interbook transfers they want a fee of $100 (!!!!) for transfers up to $2500 (??), it only gets more expensive after that.

TheGreek. Same deal as with BetJamaica, but thegreek have received some complaints lately because of bonuses. If you complete your rollover and try to withdraw, they may try to remove your bonus before they let you cash out. But if you write about it here on SBR they do a quick 180 and give you the bonus back. If you are in it for the long haul then you should be fine.

5dimes.. I don't know much about them other than that they have a lot of options for props and all that. They also have reduced juice, but you are limited to $500 if I remember correctly. If you take reduced juice you won't get any freeplay bonuses from them as reduced juice is a bonus in itself. They also do interbook transfers, but I don't know about fees.

Phoenix. Solid bunch. I would prefer BetMania over the mothership BetPhoenix though because they have a very attractive 25% cash signup and reload bonus. Odds are good. Withdrawing and transferring money will cost you. From memory the accounting department is not open in the weekends, so withdrawing money can take a bit longer here.

So in conclusion: I would recommend BetJamaica to start with, then if you want to spread your action around and get better odds, ask to transfer some of your balance to Matchbook.

Matchbook is a must out. You save a ton on juice. Make an offer, if its accepted, MB pays you a commission. Pay a small commission on offers you accept.

The Greek or Bookmaker are good because they offer early openers and teasers.

[robertg]

i use em all and then some, but all of the above are top flight, my observations are:

Matchbook-fast payouts, live wagering ok, not enough offerings, ie first halfs and halftimes. quick responses to emails and overall very good service.

Bookmaker-every imaginable offering and high limits, but piss poor customer service, and extremely pricey, 20 cent line makes them absolutely worthless for
baseball. Its kind of like walmart service with MACY'S prices. They do always
pay and are apparently as financially strong as any book could be.

Greek- see bookmaker except better customer service.

Bet jamaica-excellent baseball out, many deposit and payout options, and Scotty who is as accesible and helpful as any sportsbook GM. Customer service has extremely poor english, so i call directly to Scotty. Great book but not nearly
as many offerings as the other books mentioned. (tennis only for majors)

Betphoenix-great bonuses, 105 lines, good customer service and tons of offerings. Was a little dissapointed that the dime line in bases doesn't go to 190.
Breaks at 150 i think.

5dimes-unbelievable all of the variety they offer, 5cent lines in overnight baseball llines and a reduced juice option up to 500 per game in other sports. I haven't used them as much as the above but I think I'll be using them more in future.

All of the above have something to offer, but i use a few b rated books that I personally find just as good and often better than the above mentioned books.
B Rated books that I highly recommend are YOUWAGER/BETPOP, betmania(great bonuses and 107 lineset), and last but certainly not least Heritage.

[mminkovski]

I only have one complaint with 5dimes and BetJamaica - they only offer accounts in USD

[cap10]

betjam is solid but they forced me send copy of drivers lic and utility bill for my first wd;; thats baloney;; ive wd large amts from other books
without this requirement;; why should my a copy of my id be at any buisiness in jamaica?

[madchedda]

Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it alot. Yeah Im thinkin of splitting my deposits into these five and go from there. Reason being, when I shop for lines, Im trying to get one with less juice. Just dont want any troubles when it comes to payouts. Also I wanted to ask which ones the cheapest and fasted payout method to use in these sportsbook accounts that Ive mentioned? Thanks again everybody for there inputs.

[madchedda]

yeah ive heard highly about them. But there isnt a single person with any sort of negative thing to say about these books? Im sure theres been a dispute, account suspended or what not. Share it with us if you got something bad to say also. Thanks

[themajormt]

Mad: There are going to be issues but overall these are the best of the best... You seem like you are fishing for something that isnt really there. They are the BEST. Its that simple...

[madchedda]

ok thats what i want to hear. Im just making sure i do my homework before making deposits into these accounts. Thank you

[themajormt]

I like a nice fat ass too

[madchedda]

hell yeah

[THEGREAT30]

All are solid. Of the list, I prefer BetJamaica, Greek and 5dimes

Co-sign. Even though when I first started using BetJam I did not care for there customer service but it is a lot better know. I still don't care for the Greeks customer service. They are not horrible but average at best. 5Dimes, they are getting better. They finally offer ******** as a deposit option, but you have to get the giftcard. BetJam is the best of the books you have mentioned as far as fast payouts. The Greek and 5Dimes offer more depth of lines.

[madchedda]

yeah thats what ive been hearing about them so far. How about payout methods? I mean thers checks, ********** and **. What about people that withdraw high amounts? How can I do that without being hassled? Thanks.
