Talking Picking A Good Bookie!!!

Hey everyone. I read the great reviews on this site and I'm still having a little trouble picking a book. I'm a small time bettor, I put $20-30 dollars on a game. I want a site that if I win $100, isn't going to take 15% away with a $15 fee to withdraw (Pinnacle). I'm also looking for a site with good lines.

I wish I could play at Pinnacle.

Welcome to the SBR forum bud, I can't think of a book offhand which will offer free payouts for amounts under $500 (usually once a month- ie, 5dimes, however I'm sure BBD will be able to better assist you.

Yes, Pinnacle has one monthly free withdrawal. Is true that 188bet,Betfair and Bet365 have free withdrawals? My friends told me to try these 3 who do you thinnk is the best among them...

Betfair offer good lines but you will have to pay commission on your winnings,Bet365 are a waste of time,188bet i haven`t played at.
Without a doubt the best book is pinnacle.

For me that I use euro books,Pinnacle is the only sportbooks who ask withdrawal fees.

Bet365,Betfair,Unibet,StanJames,Expekt doon't ask for withdrawal fees. (I use Moneybookers and CC only I don't know if there are fees for wire or other banking system)

1. Pick one that pays..

2. Pick one where the manager is available and over time proves he has CS skills..

3. Pick one with software that is user friendly..

4. Pick one SBR sanctions..

5. Pick one in a country that you might visit one day, because the clerk you constantly speak to you believe is a hottie..

6. Pick one where if you dump they give you a free play that has meaning..

There are many good ones out there on the agent and post up side..Happy hunting..

although 188bet is not bad, its also nice to try others to check and compare. they say in other forums 12bet is almost same as 188 so maybe you may try that one also, i will do try that.

Although the ownership seems solid, 12Bet is still a fairly new book
