what site would u guys recommend?

Looks like pinnacle has really good prices (-105) on football. I currently use sportsbook but i like how pinny always offers a ML and they put them out early in the week. Sportsbook usually doesn't put out ML til later in the week and sometimes not at all. Has anybody ever had a problem with them?
thanks

Pinnacle is very good I have used an account there for about a year now with zero problems. Withdrawls hit my netteller account in about 15 min. Lines are usually the best at Pinnacle. A must have in my opinion I only play around with other books for their bonuses or inflated ATS lines.

thanks very much for the help guys- just curious about this stuff with the law and all that- would like to go with pinny but would hate to not be able to talk to anybody- has anybody heard anything about a particular site not taking bets or paying out? I saw in the bettor forum about WWTS BSing some people right now- anyway just trying to be careful.
thanks again

I think he's looking for "reduced juice" on an "early line" posting...

Try the 3 Sports Exchanges---lay as low as -104

If one of the mods wants to tell you who they are ...and IF THEY are still accepting US wagers....the MODS can post their corporate names in a reply.

Better to stay with CRIS or the Olympic Group(greek and betjam) with the recent spate of slow-pays associated with AIM publicly-trade books...

CS is now very important..I've personally never had any trouble with Pinny...but alot of others sure have

I'd stick with BetJam...others here will disagree...

..and even though BetJam and The Greek are BOTH part of the Olympic Group...

..the BetJam navigation screen is just so doggone easy-to-use...the most intuitive screenshot of any book

..others here are more likely to agree with that

No...BetJam simply sets a standard for "ease of navigation" that other sites could only hope to follow.

TopCat/BetTrojan is good...but no way do they have the safety/reputation of BetJam.

BetJam is the best, as far as I know...

WagerStreet has the best interface that I have found.
