Picking a sportsbook

[VegasBaby]

I need help in picking a good off shore sportsbook to deposit my money with. I'm a newbie to off shore gambling and a little nervous in choosing a book. For the last week, I've been reseraching a few of the off shore books and I'm pretty set on either betonsports.com or betathollywood.com.

Has anyone had any experience with either? Does anyone have a recommendation for me? At this point I'm leaning towards Hollywood because of their bonus program.

any book on BW list OK.
i use Jazz,WSEX,Royal,Sportbet,Olympic,
Wagerstreet,CasaBlanca and 5 Dimes.
i have dial-up and Wagerstreet is fastest i've seen.
peace,

wayward is correct, we have already done the homework. all those books should be considered. one might have a bonus or similar that will sway you but feel safe with books on bettorsworld.

True, BettorsWorld promotes only the safe books, and we're proud to be on Bettors World. Equally true, there are a lot of bonuses out there. Hollywood's sign-up bonus system is well defined: three-time roll-over to qualify for 15%; premium bonuses on large deposits; call 1-800-220-0002. Security is also a big factor - acclaimed Las Vegas Jimmy Vaccaro oddsmaker calls Hollywood, and I quote him - "the safest, most secure place to wager". I might be prejudiced, but it's also why I can hold up my head working here and look anyone in the eye, which those working at a hell of a lot of other offshore books can't do.

I look around the internet a lot and get a lot of mail from these sportsbooks. I've tried 4 books so far and they all seem to do pretty much the same thing. I've gotten paid from all of them when they said i would and maybe Im lucky, but all of these books treated me well so far. I havent played with a "bad" one yet. The ones ive
tried are Milennium, first Fidelity, WWTS, and
Sportbook.com. Anybody have any input about these?

musicman,

sportbook.com is owned by SBG Global which has been getting some negative remarks of late.

You do mean sportbook.com and not sportsbook.com?

[musicman]

sportbook.com is one of the ones I've tried and seems to work well and I've been paid. I've never tried the one with the close spelling sportsbook.com.

If you've been the world leader for 15 years, then how come I've never heard of you until recently?

I'm not trying to knock your book. I'm sure you have a fine establishment. But I'm sick of every book claiming to be

A: The world leader.
and
B: The largest in the industry.

Can't books just say "Hey, we're pretty good." and leave it at that?

i consider myself an expert on offshore sportsbooks ive been doing it for over 12 years.i started out with a.b.c. islands when tom miller the owner of millenium was the manager there.they all seem to pay i have used the big names what i dont like in a sportsbook is when they change the rules i.e limits on overnights go from a 10 cent line to a 15 or 20 cent line that pisses me off.this is all i expect from a sportsbook one free check per month,10 cent baseball lines,specials during the week to keep the customers interested contest are fun and of course a sportsbook that pays.i have a favorite book im using now pinnacle they pay ive collected 3 times no problems and you cant beat there prices.baseball 8 cent lines 16 cent on totals football -105 on games and -108 on totals same for basketball how can you beat that.i hope all these other books learn from pinnacle and lower there prices competition is good for us the consumers.i refuse to send money to any sportsbooks that use 20 cent baseball lines.

New Age Bets, otherwise known as NAB, has a long history. Our main business until recently was via our call center. We serve thousands of clients and are quite well known "offline"

That being said.....we recently introduced New Age Bets Online. Our new online wagering system is state of the art. To date...our new "online" customers have responded quite favoribly to the site.

I understand that everyone says "were #1", "we have the best lines", "we will do this for you" etc etc etc. However......our 15 year history proves that we're doing something right.

All I can ask is give us a try. We look to please. We're currently offering Online users lifetime 5% Juice.

If I can be of any help let me know. Thanks
