I can't remember the last time I made a soccer bet there. It's like they are purposely not taking soccer action.
I have made some CFL bets there though.
I guess they make their money on other sports. They are pretty sharp on football as they are one of the first books out with football lines.
There is not a SINGLE category of sports where BM has the better line compared to 5dimes...
Bookmaker is a ripoff in every fucking way possible, seriously, sign up there and at 5dimes, and compare the baseball and soccer lines to each other.
You'll be amazed at the difference, and how much $$$ one can save by wagering at 5dimes instead of BM.

yes, was raised in NJ and in the RBNY system before leaving for Italy at age 13 to join Parma juniors. I'm just jealous as he'd clearly be the top striker in the US program right now...at least Jermaine Jones decided to play for USA, not Germany, over the weekend. Hopefully will see him at Gold Cup and wait for Mac Kandji's decision
Re Bookmaker vs Five Dimes - I always thought the various lines represent a number the bookmaker thinks will draw 50-50 action on a game. He really doesn't care which team wins the game as long as he gets action on both sides.
Maybe Bookmaker had heavy action on one side and purposely kept the line where they wanted so as to draw bets to the other team?
This is a perfect illustration of why punters need active accounts with AT LEAST TWO bookies, if not more.
Just a thought. Makes no matter to me.

F**k putting myself in his shoes. He was born in America and grew up here but chooses Italy as his national team. And, hell yeah I'd want to play for the USMNT...you say that as if they don't make the world cup finals every 4 years.
and, yes, players do get to decide where they want to play as long as they follow FIFA rules regarding parents birthplace. actually FIFA used to have a rule that if you play for a country at junior level, you must stay tied to that nation, but recently changed the rule to further confuse everyone. Although it may give a possible opportunity for Arturo Alvarez to choose to play for El Salvador now even though he played for USA at all youth levels

btw, Holland has been abusing this for years with players of Suriname descent like Gullitt, Davids, Rijkaard, Seedorf, and Hasselbaink. Suriname would be a pretty classy side if they could keep any of the players that have the ability to play for them
Take a look at their lines. There was a time when 100% of the time for months either 5dimes or TheGreek had a better line than BookMaker. I haven't looked in months because it wasn't worth my time to look. It was obvious they didn't want serious soccer action since they were willing to let the other books hang a better line.
