levistep's ratings for various sportsbooks

[levistep]

Pinnacle: A+

This book is a must
Advantages: they offer great lines, a bonus, and fast payouts

Disadvantages: i don't think there are any


Matchbook: B+

This book is pretty good
Advantages: they offer the best lines, but you have to pay a 2% commission after each win, the payouts are fast

Disadvantages: they lack many betting options, low betting limits, you have to pay a fee from neteller to deposit, but they reimburse you the fee in the form of credits than you can use to cover the commission. You don't lose any money if you use the credits.


Bet Cris: B

A decent book
Advantages: early lines, fast payout,
Disadvantages: not the best lines, they don't deal in fractions of dollars; I had to make an excell spreadsheat to figure out what was the perfect wager so I wouldn't lose so much.


Olympic: C+

Avoid this book
Advantages: early lines, fast payout, you have 60 seconds grace period to approve your bet, giving you time to arbitrage.

Disadvantages: once you get past the first page, the site is ugly as hell and is slow to navigate. You can't figure out how much is left on your bonus requirement without emailing them, their lines are the worst in the business, the site is slow

I didn't bother writing one for bodog or betgameday. Bodog is in the B range, they have fishy poker games, and their dog lines are usually good. They aren't as good as they used to be since they got rid of their great bonus. Betgameday is better than olympic, but not by much.

Drop Olympic down to a C. I'm trying to cash out and it's taking many hours.
