It looks like dime lines will be close to last year's. Best Baseball odds

5Dimes has the 5 cent deal, WSEX starts at 7 cents. BetOnline and BetJamaica are taking 10c up to -190. Those are all decent limit books that will have the best line depending on when you are looking. Of course, Pinnacle if you can.

Both Matchbook and Tradesports are the two I would suggest to you MC.

Hard to beat the exchanges when price shopping IMHOO.

Thanx guys.

5dimes is by far the best IMO.

I will look at the exchanges for a 2nd and 3rd out.

The only downfall of the exchanges is that you usually get low liquidity on day games MC. So it's always good to have a few other books funded if it's at all possible.

No need for hidden gems with Matchbook and 5 Dimes overnights. Incidentally, nickel lines at 5D are up until 8:00am ET.

Thats because their really isn't any hidden gems that can meet or beat what 5Dimes, BetJamaica, Matchbook, or even TradeSports offers from lines to payout fees.

The only other book that might be considered a "hidden gem" to some people is ABCIslands (dimeline upto -190), however their withdraw fees are not exactly for the average recreational type player ($80 fee for checks up to a maximum of $2,000 per week).

Obviously I'm glued to the 5Dimes site during baseball season, but my other book is WSEX for the simple reason that they allow a parlay of the run line and total on the same game, with a $5 minimum. If you're picky about how you use it, there's great money in it.

Your 100% correct on those points Brick. The problem is that I for one really don't like putting my bankroll at risk, especially on fairly new books.
