    Default Bet Jamaica or 5 Dimes

    Which one of these two highly rated books is preferred for MLB, NBA, NFL, and college football and college basketball and please explain why you prefer one over the other?

    (Obviously they are both very good given their rating and it would be smart to have accounts at both for line shopping purposes, but if you could only choose one which one would it be? And it may be that the answer could be one sport at one of them and another sport at the other if that is a way you would choose to answer I am fine with that.)

    No reason you should have to pick just 1. Both is the right answer.

    Stay away from 5 dimes. They will limit you if you start winning. They will eventually kick you out if you are winning too much. BetJamaica is probably a better option. If you win too much in BetJamaica, they will just send you to Greek instead of limiting you.

    5dimes has lower juice more props and furures and many other betting options like RHE but their teasers suck.

    BJ releases lines way earlier than 5dimes and is backed by the greek and has free contests where you can win serious cash.

    Both is the best option but if I had to choose I would go 5dimes unless you play a lot of teasers.

    BetJamica. They pay you quicker and 5dimes customer service agents are very rude

    Only thing I don't like about BJ is their terrible website interface.

    Both plus a few more if you're serious about trying to win.

    I have played at both. I actually think that this is a tricky question because it all depends on the type of bettor you are. If you are serious about props and want the low juice option one book is clearly better than the other. I think customer service sucks at both of them so that is a non factor.

    If I were to choose 1 it would be 5dimes because the number of betting options that exist. They also take GP and generally speaking you don't have to worry about a payout.

    The reason I don't like betjamaica is because I think half the time i have tried to use their livechat it has been down. I often am able to find better numbers at books with less juice. They do have a nice contest for NCAAB and some cool bowl contests however I just think that 5dimes is the better of the two books. However if you are betting large amounts of money 1000+ a game betjamaica would be the better option because you would be able to fly under the radar a little more IMO.

    If you choose 5dimes like posters have said before. REDUCED JUICE! do not take the bonuses.

    I use both, but like 5D better because of the reduced juice and variety of props.
