Figure its time to open a 2nd account elsewhere as I feel some of OLY's lines are just not as good as some ive seen posted elsewhere, what book do you recommend overall that has great customer service, has plenty of lines, has a website thats always up, never trouble getting in to a rep during crunchtime, and will pay when you win and withdraw? Looking at Canbet, Pinnacle, WWTS, and some others....Thanks for any suggestions......

How large do you bet?

What types of bets do you make (sides, totals, teasers, parlays, moneylines, props)?

How do you deposit/withdraw your money and how often?

What promotions do you value (reduced juice, bonuses, reload bonuses, loyalty bonuses, etc.)?

How do you bet (lean dog, lean over, mostly parlays, etc.)?

If you answer these, I am sure I can recommend a good Mad Jack's sponsor. My first instinct is to say WSEX.

1)nickels and dimes

2)Credit Card if possible (but just heard about some ATM card thing-will be looking into that soon as quick withdrawals)

3)I like load and re-load bonuses most I guess, dont do it often but when I can get a purk ill take it

4)Mainly straight bets, like alot of dogs and non-pub favs, and buy points if I see a number I dont really like (ie- 3.5 to 4 if a dog etc--like buying to key numbers)

thanks

UT,

Just as a side note, I believe Prepaid ATM has a $500 daily withdrawl limit so with the amounts you bet, you might want to look elsewhere. I would certainly consider Western Union if I were you. You can even make WU deposits online (that is how I normally deposit). They cover fees on deposits and you can get a check sent back to you via FedEx for like $25-$40, which is a small amount when you are betting that much.

If you are betting nickels and dimes, stay away from smaller books so you don't get frustrated by lower limits.

I really think you should give WSEX a look. They have a link at the top of the forum. They are known as a good underdog book and I know you can bet 3 or 4 dimes (more if you call). Their software is not very good, but credit card deposits and withdrawls have always been easy for me. The only fee they charge is for a withdrawl via overnight mail.

I don't believe they offer overnight lines, though I am not sure about that. They also do not give sign up bonuses. The other drawback is that their software is configured to only allow you to bet "to win" on moneyline favorites. Take a look at it, you'll see what I mean. In my opinion, none of these things matter enough to make this a book that is not worth playing at. You should find very good underdog value there and, most importantly, your money is very, very safe there.

If you like bonuses and you are willing to deposit and withdraw straight to and from your checking account, then BoDog is a great choice. they are not a sponsor, though. Relatively low limits at Bodog (500-1000 online).

I really feel incentives are not worth all they are made out to be. If you wager nickels and dimes then the amount of money you would receive for re-loading would be immaterial if you can bet -105 instead of -110 over a few wagers.

The best three books that are sponsors here at MJ's that I have beeen happy to do business with and will continue to do so are;

PINNACLE

MILLENIUM

CANBET

I also use Olympic but you have said you use them and are looking for another book.

If I had to choose two of the above then that would be without doubt Pinnacle and Canbet.

Solid books, great lines, no problems getting on with stakes, money is safe, especially at Canbet as all monies are held in secure account. I have had very little trouble when phoning them and their customer service are there when you need to speak to them.

Pinnacle and Olympic, hands down. Olys lines have not been as great though recently I agree. Though these two are tops in my book.
