betjm has better lines usually, Bookmaker has more lines as far as props and international stuff etc.

Both good pay-outs. Bookmaker has poker now (this is a bad thing for me).

Bookmaker will never limit or refuse action from a customer from what I have heard no matter how much you beat them. Right now I am using betjm for all their worth if they were to ever stop taking my action or limit me I'd go to bookmaker I have used them in the past and they are good just harder lines.

Lines are usually better at Bet Jamaica

Bet Jamaica doesn't have 5 inning lines, which I don't care for

Both customer service is very good, in my experience with them

Bet Jamaica has a reduced juice football on Friday nights during the season which is nice

Bookmaker has a wider array of bet options. Really can't go wrong with either one

You are the first person that I can remember with this opinion. The vast majority of posters have been extremely pleased with Bet Jamaica's customer service.

The Judge is right on here. Post the story on the poor customer service. I'd like to hear it.

Although it's not as prominently posted as the Bookmaker loyalty program and their points, Bet Jamaica has a Paradise Loyalty Club. Call them, at the times posted on their web site once you have placed enough bets and they will tell you how many or much free play $$$ you have.

You mentioned moneylines. 5 Dimes posts moneylines on big favs in CFB and CBB if that interests you.

the lack of communication is probably due to the hurricane so I won't write them off yet. I'm still weighing my options between the 2 services right now.

like both of them - much better than most of the other sites - more options for prop bets and the such on Bookmaker

there are a couple of others that i will never use again - but these are great.

Both of them are good, but Bookmaker's withdrawal fees are ridiculous.... definitely use the loyalty points to try to get a free withdrawal....

betjm is harder to put money in (for USA customers) but much much easier to withdraw.

Jerome, I suggest that you call and ask about their funding options. I think you will be surprised.
