Who does everyone bet through?

Just curious who you guys (and girls) think the best place to bet is? I am still kind of a rookie as I have only been doing this for 1 year (Started football preseason last year) and I have always bet through bodog. I have not had any problems but they tend to put their lines up alot later than some of the other books. I have looked at Pinnacle but I have just been leary to use another source. Lot of bad sites out their too so if anyone has one they like let me know and maybe I will try it out. Like I said I like bodog, but their lines (Especially their OVER/UNDER's come out real late sometimes).

Any help appreciated and good luck everyone this week!

I go directly thru Vegas now about 95% of the time now. As far as off shore books are concerned, using both BoDog and Pinny is a good idea because you are going to get some differences in point spreads and both have about as solid a reputation as you can get in that business.

Yes, my bets range from $50 to $200 so I'm sure that is pretty low compared to some people but I am only making a few bets a week so I don't mind doing it online. I used to bet years ago through my friends bookie and he would only take 10% of your bet if you lost which I kind of liked. Not sure if any legitimate sites online do that.

Yea 10% is the usual juice. I do about 70% online and 30% through my local bookie. Usually do online for my smaller 50 and 100 dollar bets. But if I am going to bet big and want the money quick good having the bookie around the corner.
