I haven't been here to the cappers lounge since March Madness but now that its football season again...I'm back.

Last year I used BetUS for my sportsbook and was very unhappy with it. Just wanted to see what some of you guys thought were the best sportsbooks.

depends on the sport. football you mentioned so I assume that is what you mean, but it also kind of depends on what types of betting you are doing as well. Straight betting, no teasers or parlays or anything I think matchbook is great as the juice is lower. bodog's lines are awful and they post lines really late cause they don't wanna get hit by sharps on early lines so I would throw them right out. Bookmaker and betjamaica are both solid. I would add 5dimes to your list as they are solid also.

I'm new to betting on line. Since I had to open a account with Diamond I use them & I don't see them on the list. ???? Are the listed ones that much better? jack

Diamond sportsbook is among the top ten. I chose the top 6 from what I had researched but also included other because I was hoping people would state there other sportsbook of choice and explain why they went with them.

I use Diamond and BoDog. Diamond without a doubt is the better of the 2. Bodog always comes out with their lines last so that the sharps cannot jump on the early lines. Diamond consistently has their lines out the night before. The biggest problem industry wide right now is payouts for American players. It is taking anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to get a payout from most places. I would suggest also trying to find a local if you can for liquidity sake.

Pinnacle has the lowest vig of all the sites anyone have any input on them? Didn't that have issues last year?

They don't service anyone in the United States anymore. Even people who had accounts with them before all of this B.S. that our government pulled were not grandfathered in. Everyone had to request a payout.

Stock, BetUs sent me a letter along with a bunch of other free stuff offering me a 100% bonus on my initial deposit this year for up to $1000 with a 6x roll over. Most sportsbooks I saw had anywhere from 3x-5x. I'm def going to go with diamond but trying to narrow down my second one between bodog and staying with betus. Any input? That bonus is very appetizing.

Stay far away fro Betus....you can refer to an article I wrote on Betus a few months ago.5 Dimes has been great since I started with them and also WSEX is pretty solid thus far.

the ones i like are ... wsex, vip, and bookmaker

wsex customer service has been great

vip and bookmaker honor their payouts (albeit thru mail, but none the less it gets there)

Do not go wth BETUS ... you're risking your money and a lot of hassle

Yeah, I've heard some bad things about BETUS... I use 5dimes and Bookmaker... both great, great books!

I use Bookmaker and Diamond, have also had luck with 5dimes.

5dimes is great

Betting Exchanges like Matchbook make the most sense...IMHO

10% juice is a major rip off, especially in light of automated/computerized processing. Vegas houses have such a high overhead and charge 10%. Offshore houses have significantly less O/H and charge the same juice. WTF?

I don't understand why more sportsbooks don't charge less juice like Pinnacle did?
Oh well, Econ 101 I guess...

i've been with bet us couple years now and WON"T BE another year .
i have a hard time getting my payouts , last year over 3 months,
this year same thing as to get a payout i have to have a photo copy of my
credit card and driver license which i gave them at start of season., i did again send it and now they claim its to dark which its not.
i only went with them this year because of the bonus $500 but i can tell you
its not worth it for all the trouble they give you to receive your money.
they LIE

No Time, pull all your money out, and deposit it into 5 dimes, or Bookmaker....

Bet Jamaica. I deposited 2K got 450$ sign up and 50$ free play. I made 10 wagers equalling 1,000$ or more total.They sent me the atm debitcard free in 2 days DHL. I request any payout up to 2500$ a day and its in my acct to withdraw in 24hrs. I go to the local atm boom got my cash in 1 day of requesting. service charge $1.50 for withdraw.By far the simpliest and easiest of any sportsbook I ever used

Anyone else using betjamaica? That ATM card sounds like the way to go.

I like Bodog because they are pretty dependable with my money, but I hate the fact that their lines come out so late in the day. Many of the lines don't come out until 5:00 EST. Also, they never have any good moneylines on college sports.
