[THE SHRINK]

I just got this idea from another thread, with special thanks to Willie Loman and Rainbow for helping me think of this...

So Willie, Rainbow, and others, who do you think are the 5 TOP overall sport books out there as of now?

Thanks in advance,

Cris definitely has not gotten its shit together - 7-10 day withdrawals and $50...

WSEX is getting their shit together, but they are not where the 5 I named are...

Betjam.com- no doubt #1 as far as fast payouts go

WSEX.com- for live betting and for some reason i just trust them with my money.

I only bet with these two at these time so i don't have a top 5 just 2.

betcris or bookmakers wouldn't be in my top 5-----------20 cent baseball lines suck

Re: Now that the smoke is clearing, who are the top 5 sports books in the industry?

Bet Cris- Industry Rock period!

Olympic- Its just nice to have Fvck you money like Spiro. Probably better off playing through Bet Jamaica due to the 10 cent baseball.

WSEX- I have been with them since they opened shop that alone says a mouthful. Hard to believe the poker room is not jamming. I guess people just like paying rake??

Bestlines- Reduced juice, 10 cent bases, solid people behind the joint. You have to have an allergy to money if you don't have Bestlines in your arsenal.

same as they have been since the beginning of time minus pinn
cris,oylmpic,grande,wsex industry leaders

others that you can take a chance with are
matchbook,5 dimes,and my sleeper heritage(which i dont play)

 

[dirty]

Re: Now that the smoke is clearing, who are the top 5 sports books in the industry?

I don't think 20 cent bases lines are relevant here, as I think a Top 5 book should be stable, and if they offer reduced juice then that is a bonus. Especially the horror stories we hear of people getting slow paid/No paid etc...

Maybe we all might wonder though isn't naming the top 5 books and having some of the best minds working out the list asking for trouble? I mean are we not giving Fed looky loos a good list of where they should be targeting in any efforts to shut down payments?

Its sad to say it, but I think the top books are actually among the riskiest because they could easily get trapped in some seizure actions and through no fault of their own be stuck. Feds aren't going to work their regulations effort to stop books with 200 customers.

BOYS IN MY OPINION THERE IS ONLY ONE SPORTSBOOK RIGHT NOW THAT YOU CAN TRUST. 5Dimes Sportsbook - Casino - Racebook - Poker Room - Lottery Room THEY HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED REDUCED JUICE,5 DIFFERENT LINES ON EACH GAME,ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH.WHAT ELSE DO YOU GUYS WANT.I USED TO LIKE BET JAMAICA BUT THEY CANT COMPETE WITH 5 DIMES AS FAR AS LINES GO AND REDUCED JUICE.BOYS IF YOU BET ONLINE 5 DIMES HAS REDUCED JUICE ON EVERY GAME BY FAR THE BEST SPORTSBOOK RIGHT NOW.AND FELLAS I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION I HAVE BEEN BURRYING THEM AND HAVE RECIEVED 3 CHECKS ALL PAID IN FULL AND I AM WORKING ON #4 :dancefool


BEANTOWNJIM IS NOT A PAID EMPLOYEE OF 5 DIMES I AM JUST A REGULAR GAMBLER TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING

I GRIN WHEN I WIN

Sounds a bit overly paranoid to me, and hopefully so...

As if they don't know who the main ones are already?

The Feds have not only arrested some of the biggest names but some of the biggest agents as well...

Of course they know the main Players!

I seriously doubt putting together a top 5 list for gamblers to trust with their money will have any impact on who, if anyone, the DOJ targets next...

P.S.

Never understimate how the Feds work. They love going after the weakest link. They might just as easily target that small shop with 200 customers since it would be an easy catch which could lead to something bigger down the line...
