I need help selecting which sportsbook to use

[ajvbear]

I am thinking of opening a new account, but I am having trouble choosing between Olympic or Pinnacle. I was hoping some of you seasoned pros outhere and tell me the pros and cons of each. Which has been the most reliable for the longest? Thanks for your help!

Don't know much about Pinnacle. In regards to Olympic, couldn't complain. Great site and always get paid on time. I don't believe anyone offers more betting options than Olympic.One of the first to display the lines. Con is they offer a 20¢ line for baseball, otherwise no problems. GL.

Olympic are damn good, very wide range of stuff, covering most parts of the world.

Pinnacle have a smaller range, but less juice on a lot of that.

Go for both I say.....

AJV,

I have accounts with both and Olympic has better betting options. Their bonuses for initial accounts however are just a meager 5 percent. My personal favorite is Gameday. They have the best bonuses for initial deposits and they don't make you leave your money and bonuses in the account for a month or make you wager 5 times the amount or something ridiculous like that. They just ask that you wager 2 times the amount which is more reasonable. Plus you get 10 percent every time you re-deposit money and they pay for your Western Union if you send in just 200 or more. Most books that I've been with that gives you 10 percent on every re-up make you leave the money in for a month. Withdrawn checks for almost 5 digits with no problems. Cust Service is tops. I don't know who else can top that. Let me know if you start an account so I can get a referral.

Both are great books, and both have been around a long time. If you are signing up now, you must be a baseball player. If that is so, you have to consider Pinnacle because they will be offering an 8 cent line, which is obviously a BIG PLUS.

I have accounts with both and I would reccomend the same. Olympic has a little more variety, but they will have the 20c baseball line. Pinnacle will have the 8c line.

I guess the more books you have the better off you are, but if you have to choose one... Good luck!

May all your bets be winners

Both are really good books. If you are looking to play NBA playoffs with a ton of props, go with Olympic. If you are looking to play baseball, go with Pinnacle. They have an 8 cent line. In the long run, an 8 cent line is better than any %age deposit bonus you will get.

Looks like Pinnacle has some low vig for bases. Since we're heading in that direction I'd go there. I do however like sportingbetusa.com, caribsports.com, and all the above mentioned by the other guys. Through yabet.com in the mix too.

GameDay and Olympic are both dealing 20C baseball lines so unless you are a sucker I would look for other outs. I recommend Direc Bet which claims will offer less than a dime line, and Royal, a solid book now back online with a 10C line.

I've been using Olympic and I whole heartedly reccomend them. The internet site is great and the phones are pretty good. Tremendous range of bets and props for basketball and football.
