Baseball Book needed

Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice here. I'm trying to set up a new book for the coming baseball season and would like some advice as to the best book available.

I'll be moving from Bowmans/Bet365 and am considering BetJam and The Greek. Anyone play baseball on these sites? Dime Lines? and also, which is the better bonus:

1) The Greek is offering the 21% bonus
2) BetJam is offering 20% plus a $50 free play

I'll be depositing about 500 bucks to start the season.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
TMLFAN

I should also mention that I'm Canadian so none of the other B.S. that applies to US citizens in these crazy times is an issue.

Thanks again in advance

depends on what you like to play


do you play mostly MLs or RLs?
do you like to hit opening lines or wait till closer to gametime?
parlays?
if bets?

Baseball I hit (almost 100 percent of the time) MLs and I'm usually pounding the dogs and avoiding the chalk. Ended up in the plus column last year by avoiding parlays, RLs and bigger favorites so I'll stick to that strategy.



I will usually be betting the morning of the game or sometimes the night before.

Thanks for your help!

The Greek has 20cent lines. So I would avoid them...

Thanks for the help guys.

I went with Pinnacle (the 8 cent lines were too good to turn down)

No bonus as I'm not new to them, but I will jump on BetJam or Greek in the fall when football and hockey start up again to take advantage of those bonuses. I know that sometimes the book and lines will outweigh the bonuses.

Thanks again,
TML

WSEX and 5 Dimes have Dime lines. Also matchbook betting exchange.

Not sure about BetJamaica, I am hoping they do.
