Looking for a good Soccer book

[james]

I use pinnacle for fights, so I started to play soccer with them and they are alright except they don't have any in game betting sooo.. I was looking into bet365, I like it so far but I think I should ask here what others use for their soccer.

If you have any suggestions please leave them here

thanks

I go to www.betbrain.com to find a list of several books and the prices for each match. From this list I have about 10 different books I use, depending on which one gives me the best line.

If you only want to use 1 or 2 or 3, I would take bet365 for their live games and Pinnacle for their wide variety of leagues.

If you're looking for in game soccer action (and live in Canada) look at the Betfair exchange. They have a wide range of betting options, have in play action on major events. They charge 5% on net win and accept NETeller.

Pinnacle does have halftime betting on a lot of leagues, though, it's listed under "halfs." I didn't realize they had halftime betting until I'd been using them for a while because they don't list the halftime lines with the individual leagues, it's just under "halfs."

betcris, olympic and intertops give good amount of games to pick on in soccer.

5DIMES has a vast amount of games and betting options. Bet365 has in play on quite a few games and again quite the number of games available especially in the UK. Both excellent for soccer.

 

[Mr.Jones]

Thanks a million Beetman. Can't believe I didn't know this. That's what makes these forums so valuable.

 

[Mr.Jones]

If I may just add this. I have Pinny, The Greek, and Cris and find that most of my pre-game action has lately been going to 5Dimes. And no I don't schill for them, in fact I've had a grading dispute with the book which was easily resolved because I printed my bet. Despite that, I think you'll find them quite unique and valuable. Just make sure you print your bets with them.

Add Pointbet to the mix. Reduced juice on a wide amount of leagues.

Live betting on lots of games too.

I like 5dimes for the second tier games,but limits are not very good, I think $500 on a sided and $250 on totals. Not a probem for me except the totals limit but can be fore some.I

 

[beetman]

Mansion's exchange is pretty good for the bigger leagues. You can put up offers on 3 way sides, asian handicaps, and totals.

i know www.nojuice.net is awesome for soccer lines. i play there and they have nearly every league. and if theres a league they dont have i just call them up and with in 10 minutes they put it up. there a new book but there good to go...

plenty of good soccer books, pinnacle offers great prices but they are too damn sharp for my tastes...lol...if you like betting over unders pinnacle take a lot of positions on these, i suppose they got their in house linemaker for them, so there's value there.

First welcome back to the forum (i remember your nick when i was reading some old messages here)...i hope some others "old" posters join back making this forum (maybe more why not?) intersting as the others...

About pinnacle i agree on the prices, but don't think they are so sharp if you look at the maximum stake (for example in reduced margine you have very very low juice, but how much they accept? only 294 eur for main leagues)
I think it's the same for over/under they simply follow the asian market, and so the asian bookies position, don't think they make lines at home (in early market usually they don't have o/u)
Sure they are more sharp in the basket o/u for example...don't able to talk about nba market, but last year in euroleague following their lines you could be able to beat european book very often.

 

[JackDee]

as far as i remember their normal juice limits where 2000-3000 for major european leagues, 300 is a joke, but i havent bet there in quite a while so i wouldn't know. I know they follow the asian market in handicaps, everyone does, but i am quite sure they have their in house linemaker for over and unders, and if you make a note to start noticing these they sometimes differ considerably from the "official" line so to speak. But it's not just the handicaps, moneylines are an importan soccer bet, you wont find a line, well almost never, that tops your bet at pinnacle at least the ones i bet, they ll always have it on the other side, obviously we are not taking 100% its also a matter of impressions all these.

"but last year in euroleague following their lines you could be able to beat european book very often."

there's a huge margin of error in the euroleague which is more akin to soccer than the nba, that's way those who know what they are doing in the euroleague can take advantage of that, pinnacle didn't use to host the euroleague for that very reason, because they already strive for decent juices, and you well know way most books deal with the euroleague with 15-20% (i am exaggerating a little) juice is a parody, but they cover their asses as much as they come and aim at the casual three game parlay players where they can actually steal him a half a game or more per parlay so they are done.
