For betting options I would say Olympic for football. For less juice Pinnacle in all sports. For free 1/2 points Rio/Skybook. For bonus - BetJamaica. All these books are top notch.

Safe, fairly cheap in/out and a few nice betting options that you can't get at many places.

All 4 are solid, very good bonuses, minimal fees for small withdrawals. The last two will drive you insane if you are a serious player.

I would agree with most of the books listed in here except for two:

1) 5 Dimes---unless you need access to all the props, this isn't a good idea for new players. Their lines are almost without fail "middle of the road"---why pay full juice when you can't consistently get off numbers?

2) Bodog---if you're like most new gamblers you play majority favs/overs. Bodog at full juice is gonna eat you alive on both of those tendencies (they shade favs/overs). However, if you use the 10% reload 1X rollover wisely, you will have a shot there.

One other thing I forgot to mention, newbies need to take note that everyone is mentioning multiple books for a reason. It is imperative that you spread your roll around and open multiple books. You must have access to different numbers---getting that extra 1/2 point will gain you at least 1-2% profit over the course of a season. That free 1/2 point at Betcbs/Betdon and Skybook becomes huge quite often.
