Question Most important factor when looking for a sportsbook

What are some of the things you look for or that turn you on or off when it comes to book shopping?

When you say good lines, do you mean for the favs? the dogs? or just in general?

Do you think it a book is not good if they have inflated favorites or vice versa?

Low juice - Are you talking about standard 110/100 juice or is reduced juice like a Pinnacle what you mean?

What do you consider a fast payout?

A Book like pinnacle you sometimes can find the best line their for both sides of the game. Different books are better for dogs like Bowmans, wsex tend to give you a half point to point better at times and these two dont rip you off with the juice like bodog.

Alot of books with Low juice now starting at -107 to -105, I havent even played at olympic a book i love cause they have full -110 cause there are alot of books that have lower juice.

Fast neteller payout should be within an hour.

I echo what Pasco said, but the best line for a particular event can be anywhere.

What I love about Pinnacle is they are not afraid to throw up a line on just about anything. A bettors dream over there. Much more props etc.

A great example is the Olympics

I go by the Sports Book Review ratings, and won't consider a book that doesn't have an 'A' rating or higher.

Also, and this may sound like an odd requirement, they gotta allow Money Line Soccer Parlays. Asian Handicapping is also a plus.

I look for a book that has lower juice for playing favorites and another (such as BoDog & BetRoyal) where you can find better odds on dogs. Of course, never deposit money in a book until you have researched their stability. Fast payouts are nice but are not a determining factor for me.
