What online betting site would you recommend?

Looking to make a little extra cash on the bowl games.
Might do a little NFL and basketball too.

I would go with the one that gave me the best bonus on my deposit. Some will match your deposit up to 100%. Also check out 5dimes. They claim all their odds are at -105 instead -110.

But when Congress passed the new laws that prevented one from transferring money between your checking acct and online betting sites, I quit. It took 6-8 weeks to get a check cut from them (which was ridiculous).

Several posters already said its hard to get paid. They give you extra money in your account to get started with the idea you will loose it all. I know several guys who have picked winners but not been able to get their money. Good luck..

not long after they changed names to bovada or something like that. I emailed them copy of returned check and they apologized and sent me another. Just recieved it. A litle uneasy about it, has some Japanese symbols on it. Going to be very picky as to which teller I take it to

Of course if you dont have the option to invest with a local you must go online. I have tried out probably any offshore book that would except a US player in the past 15 years. Its not the same anymore.....17- Sen.Bill Frist......If I remember correctly he is the one who introduced the first debates over internet gambling back in probably2006, cant remember.

Currently Ihave (3)different accounts and I just recently joined 5Dimes several months ago, others are locaL.

I have been in contactwith some Whales over the past decade andthey still use5Dimes for various reasons......I mainly use 5Dimes for In-game wagers and props.

It kind of even outs but it has helped not hurt as bad before. I've had no problem with them. Lines on everything

No real complaints except for the major complaint you encounter with all online books. And that is it takes about 3 weeks to get paid when you want to 'cash out'. I had call multiple times and give alot of information (Driverslicense, copy of credit card I opened account with, etc) to some guy who call himself Thor and is probably working out of his parents basement just to try and get a direct deposit. After another week of hassling they did end up doing a direct deposit. I think they intend to make it very diificult to cash out so you will either quit trying or will continue to gamble so they don't have to pay you . Just remember when you are talking to these people on the phone that oyu are dealing with the scum of the earth . Be prepared to be an *******. Another complaint I hear is if you they cut you a check, because alot of banks will not take their checks.Good luck.

Back in the early 2000's Calvins boys at odog were using Suntrust to cut checks too folks...Fed-ex took 2-3 Days.....Checks cashed with no problems, maybe cause I banked with Suntrust also.

But the last time I settled with odog was back in 07, cant remember...right after NBA finals and I got a check (7)months later from Canada for 3k. The only bank that would take it was a friend of mines, but if the Bank of Toronto check it ended up being BS I would pay his bank back....just a total wad of bear **** and stuff involved.
craziness

Hit a big parlay the weekend we lost to South Carolina (Oct 15th), got my bodog/5d accounts to upwards of 5k, then decided to cash out $3500 from bodog. They took their time processing it, I finally got a DHL number for the first check on November 4th, which turned out to come from the "Bank of Sinapore" for 3k, another $500 check came from a small llc out of Florida the next week. I posted both into my Regions account without incident. I was a tad nervous posting that big check with all of the Chinese lettering on the top, though...<div>
</div><div>I'm shopping my online book business right now too, want to wager on bowl season and some college basketball. Was thinking about giving bookmaker.com a shot... anybody have experience with them? Bodog is too slow with their lines and while I love their UI and site layout I always feel like I'm getting skimmed. 5dimes is great with lines and props but a really vanilla experience plus I can't seem to stack over/unders with pointspreads there. I'm looking for something that gives me the better elements of each site in one place.</div>

Be careful with 5Dimes, I know the owner personally....... let's just leave it as I do not trust that man any further that I can throw his big fat obnoxious 350 pound ***.
