I am tempted to rattle off three but you didn't ask for three you asked for one. I would have to go with thegreek once a week.

Anyone ever hear of BetBorat? Would some of my friends here at therx consider posting up with me if I went offshore and opened up shop? Shrink would you allow me to advertise here?

I say Oly, Pinny, Wsex, Hollywood, WWTS and Cris are some of the safest books in the industry.. good limits and always paid.. but the best way to do it is just have agents who guarantee both sides... if u have solid agent u cant lose..

5 dimes??????? Are you guys smoking some whacky shit??

How can they even get mentioned with the likes of Pin Oly Cris. Everyone of the books managers and owners all hate pinnacle because they undercut the market and have the market share of business so I would have to choose them.

Read Railbird's response on bet365 and I agree with it.

"Im also guessing the people who were invovlved in 1974 are most likely pushing up daisys now" Dam, that's funny but true.

Frankie,
It took 5Dimes 20 minutes to pay me by Western Union this morning. Could Pinnacle do that? 5Dimes is a top notch, safe as hell book that has zero slow or no pay complaints. They have software issues only. Pinnacle and Olympic are great books but 5Dimes is right there with them.

The thread title should be
"Lets see who has no clue"

For those who put any unregulated Island book above somebody like William Hill has absolutely no clue.

Any of these Island books could fold in an instant and you would have little chance of seeing your money.

Well said Lurker..well said. Have been trying to make this point for a long time.

As to the posters who like Five Dimes it concerns me that they have NOT addressed their terribly slow website. What is going to happen come football? And how much business are they going to lose to Pinnacle on the baseball over/unders now?

What is scary is that watchdog sites such as TOW think its OLY and Grande for safety.

Alright they may be safe but the title of the thread is one book which is the safest.

If anybody thinks OLY is safer than William Hill I have a bridge for sale.
Its in Brooklyn!

Surely Roberto understands that William Hill is safer than OLY.
If he doesn`t then he needs to get out of the watchdog business right now.

No public company or government, no matter how well capitalized and solid, is as safe as a man with integrity. Shareholders do funny things when times get rough, as do governments. Men with integrity OTOH always pay their debts.

God what a waste of time. How do you guys have any idea on this, are you privy to the financial details after tonights action? I am sure most managerial employees at a book that was in trouble wouldn't really even know it, to have people speculating here on points such as Pinnacle's lack of a phone number is just a futile exercise. Next thing you know someone will say XXX book won't make it because I heard a clerk today with a lousy accent, go with Oly instead.

There are plenty of books that haven't had any problems, how is one better than the other? Sheesh, if people just accepted some are safer than others for their holdings and stayed vigilant no matter what then we wouldn't have this my book is 99.99% safe and yours is only 99.95% safe argument.
