I have really enjoyed my stay with BC and will keep them as an out for sure. They are an A rated book easily. I do have 2 things that I wish they would change;
1. I'd like to see more betting options, like props, reverse runlines or something of that nature.
2. They close too early , the late games don't get graded till the morning. Now, if I was close to bust in my account and I saw a sweet overnight, but my funds were tied up in the last nights games, I'd be out of luck. Maybe just keep someone around to grade the late games.
Otherwise, anyone trying BC will be very happy, nice lines along with quick and FREE Neteller makes them a must have out IMO. Also 15% signup helps alot.

If you found little to bet at Grande, don't expect anything different at BC Bets. These two don't offer much more than your basic meat and potatoes.

Ninja,
You may well be right but as far as I know there are some differences.
I normally play (between sides, totals and run lines) around ten baseball games a day. The problem with Grande was that I normally have all my plays placed overnight or early in the am, before they post their lines. It has been my experience that betting earlier, yields better numbers, so they did not fit in with my wagering style. As I understand it, BC Bets offers overnights.
I also bet an absurd (by normal people's standards) amount of money on CFL games. I have no idea if BC Bets even offers CFL but Grande usually does not.
I have no idea if BC Bet's numbers are unique for football, basketball and hockey. Grande's from my experience were not. A good part of this is that if Grande moves their number, a significant number of other books move on air to copy Grande. So through no fault of their own, it becomes very difficult to find a price there that you can't find elsewhere or with lower vig.

I also use Grande but to compare them to the U.S. mint is a bit of an over statement when they do operate in the Dominican Republic where it is not legal to be an international book. Never lose site of that when choosing to bet over the phone and stranger things have happened in this country over the years to shut books down. They have been down for multiple days more than once over the years.
