Need recommendations for new book...

I have several books for soccer (BetCRIS, Greek, WSEX, Bodog), but I really depended on Pinnacle for Asian handicaps and obscure leagues/cups. I've been poking around but haven't found anything I've liked that is open to Americans.

For example, there are a couple of games in the English FA Trophy this weekend I am interested in but I can't find a place that will take my action. Is there anything I am overlooking?

hello sir

if you could find a book that gave you the same options that pinnacle gave you or close to it, you would of course like to continue wagering?

just curious

I am going to continue wagering with what options I have open right now, but my current books don't offer Asian handicaps, obscure leagues or cups, like the FA Trophy. Getting decent lines for the English Premier League is no problem, finding any line on a FA Trophy match is a complete bitch for me now.

the problem is pinnacle had the most foreign action of the books that honored US action

without the demand I dont see many books throwing a line up on that stuff

time will tell

have you looked at the exchanges?

I managed to obtain an account on the BetDAQ exchange. I have never used an exchange before but after playing with it over the weekend, I am quite happy with it (it's actually quite the shiznit!). Made a lot of money backing some stupid bets I would never personally take (even with a gun to my head) but would definitely give somebody else action on [essentially, me acting as the book].

It is an eye opening experience...
