Ok so cause Olympic does not advertise here they are not in the top ten, i have no respect for a top ten list that does not have olympic in it, so you feel better about your money at rio than at olympic huh, olympic is top three for sure, they don't boot winners or limit them to $100 bucks, i have had 6 figs in my account there and felt safe as can be and they have a ton of betting options. may be next time you should call this THE TOP TEN OFFSHORE BOOKS THAT ADVERTISE HERE. Come on shrink you are smarter than that.
I agree with my fellow posters how can Olympic not be in the top ten.I agree that there customer service has fell behind a little bit, but they still deserve to be in the top ten.How the hell can Grande be in th etop ten.You can't even check a figure at this place on monday morning.I believe that they still hand write tickets.Granted they take big action but this does not make them a top ten internet and call center book.Skip is a great guy there is no doubt about that,but come on Shrink there no way this place should be in the top five.This is just one mans opionion.
My top ten.
1.Pinacle- Started the low vig trend. Best software on the net.
2.Hollywood-Most improve book of the year.107 juice everyday.By far best customer service.
3.Chris-Still the grand-daddy of the off=shore industry.Never throws uts winners.
4.Olympic-Takes the biggest wagers of all the companies out there.
5.Jazz-Turn the company around in two years.Has the best english speaking clerks.
6.WWTS-Solid company does many things well.
7.Tradewinds- Very underated company.I agree with the Shrink on this one.
One thing all of these books share in common you can rest a sure that your money is safe and secure.Also, they all can pay six figure amounts in a twenty-four period.

In no particular order, these are the books I would have no problem recommending to anyone:
Cascade, Bet Horizon, Bet Jamaica / Olympic, Las Palmas, Millenium, RIO / Skybook, Grande, Bet Panam, Bowman's, CanBet, CRIS, Hollywood, Jazz / ABC Islands, Pinnacle, WWTS / Wager On Sports, WagerStreet and WSEX.
Long enough list?

Long enough list?
First of all, I stated this was my OWN PERSONAL TOP 10 LIST and just as everyone else is entitled to his or her opinion, why shouldn't I be?
Now, regarding OLYMPIC...
Just because a sports book pays doesn't mean they should be in anyone's top 10 list.
Olympic no doubt pays and they are to be completely trusted with your money...
However, I believe their customer service department absolutely sucks and for example, it took me and a friend nearly 3 months to get OLYMPIC to finally credit this account with that money.
They offered no help to us and we had to go so far as to call their bank many times in Jamaica to prove to them that the money was there.
Spiros used to be very cordial and friendly, but since he has gotten so big, I also believe he has lost that PERSONAL element that is so important for me when dealing with sports books...
Furthermore, my friends and I still have trouble understanding their clerks (who speak terrible English) when we call in bets and they are often rude...
Finally, Olympic's lines on the DON BEST screen are sometimes not honored as they appear to be manipulating their lines to sway gamblers the wrong way....
I know that many "insiders" understand exactly what I am talking about here...
These are just some of the reasons why I don't consider OLYMPIC to be a top 10 book any longer, but they are clearly an ELITE book that I'd have no problem recommending if a gambler is looking for a safe haven...

THE SHRINK
Spiro, Grande, Sky, WW, CRIS, and Pinny are all Wiseguy heavy for a reason..some offer early numbers, also all take a BET & offer unique options.
All the others mentioned above that I've used, I see no qualm with.
Shrink, is there a way to get a phone account with Vaccaro and Sol Kerzner's Paradise Isles?

Why stop there? I'd be interested in your comments re: which ones you disagree with and why.

Tradewinds has just started a very good sign up bonus. Just let them know how much money you lost when Gary Austin faked a robbery of his Race and Sportsbook here in Las Vegas and then took off with hundreds of thousands of dollars stiffing bettors on any outstanding tickets and stealing all the funds that were in phone accounts.
They'll match what Gary Austin stole plus give you 20% and a jar of vaseline.
