What do you consider when picking a sportsbook?

What do you consider most when picking a sportsbook? (other than making sure they are on the list!!!) bonuses, payout schedules, lines, betting options?

1. Do they have a long tract record of Paying!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Service department
3. Good internet service
4. No busy signals

Blow Fish: I posted this last year and got very little interest. These type of things are what I think this site is all about. Good post.

Will they pay me
Are they online
Ease of software
Use of cookies (I hate these things)
Variety of wagers offered
Fair lines
Customer service

Steve has the first two points right on the money and in the correct order.....

Track record of prompt payout history, and secondly but also very important customer service. A book should treat their customers with respect. Because quite frankly, if they don't, there are plenty of other choices for the player.

What did I tell you Blowfish. Your post was to me a very important post but you only get 3 replies. One from me and two from the moderaters. Amazing.

I guess we will have to go on talking about monkeys and bears till King Football starts.

Other than being paid i would think people would be interested in the selection of bets offered. a lot of people call and ask what else is available on a game.

Yeah. Bets offered is important. Afer the DO THEY PAY issue. I guess if several books all pay the deciding factor would be bets offered. Props, 5 inning lines, halftimes, reduced juice, they all factor in.

Personally I like the reduced juice specials. Kind of rewrites the history books. It was always drilled into our heads you need 53% to break even. Not anymore! With the no juice specials, 50% is all it takes.

Speaking of no juice specials, are their any yet?

new age bets has a reduced juice for a year special. you can chose that or a cash bonus.
