Gentlemen,
Let me jump in here and give you a veteran players advice. I am just a player and have no interest in touting any book other than to try and help you out. All of the books I mention below are about as safe as it gets.
#1 Pinnacle.
The King. Reduced but manipulated juice, early lines, super fast payouts, and when you learn how they think you can beat them placing bets elsewhere.
#2 5Dimes.
A plethora of lines on anything you can think of. Danger here is placing too many bets. But safe and fast payouts also. Pretty good bonus plan for newcomers. 5 cent overnight bases lines and a must have book for serious soccer players.
#3Hollywood
Just a darn nice reduced juice book. Forget the bonus take the reduced juice plan. Can save vig very often by coming here after the juice has been manipulated too much at Pinny. Don't be looking for Croation soccer lines here though.
#4Cris
Maybe the last book to come off of -110 on steam. So their 110 can be valuable. But the first [or darn close to it] to post lines. Nice loyalty program. Very solid. Useless for bases however with 20 cent line.
#5Olympic
Solid very solid. Races with Cris and Pinny to post up lines first. No reduced juice but ranks right up there with 5dimes in variety of lines in almost everything you can think of. Super fast payouts and currently a fabulous bonus offer. Sharp cool looking website. Same as Cris in regards to bases.
#6Cascade
-105 juice plan on major sports says it all. Once you have chosen that plan you have it for life. Choose it.
#Bet 365
Very large and solid, safe book based in the UK. Not everybody's favorite and don't expect any deals on juice. I use them for pretty much soccer only and the in play betting available on European soccer matches. Easy to understand clerks. If you don't play soccer you don't need this one.
The above are MY personal favorites that have all stood the test of time. Each serves a particular purpose for me. Some get more play than others. Though you will find many who will have other favorite books, I trust few veterans will disagree with what I say about the above mentioned books.

Thought I was responding to the sportsbook.com question - but then realized I was talking about sportsbetting.com. Since I typed all this I went ahead and posted it.
I've been on sportsbetting.com for several months and have had real good service from them. They are rated B- on the SBR and I believe they are a sponsor here.
One thing about them is there bonus structure seems to be better (IMHO) than most other books. You get 10% signup with only a 3X rollover, I think only Pinny does the same on this, all the others go around 20% but require 5X-7X and other quirky requirements. Also, you can reload your account on Thursday (don't know why its Thursday only - their quirk) and get a 5% reup bonus with only a 3X rollover. Also (Also), the rollover on the reup is only based on the amount deposited - so if you have a 1,000 balance and put in another 1,000 you get $50 reup and only have to spin 1,050 three times and no other quirky quirky stuff like net negative etc, etc, etc.
Now their lines are normally -110 but on Friday's they reduce juice to -105 on most events. Can't speak to the teasers/pleasers I just don't play that many.
On deposit and payout, this is the only account that I don't use Neteller. Don't know why - they may not absorb the fee? I load with a Credit Card which on mine is treated as a purchase so I get cash back for the CC. On payouts, since I load by CC, I receive the payout via FedEx via check. No cost for this up to 4 times a month. Does take about 2 - 4 days to get the check but I just put it into my round robin rotation i.e. 4 days to get funds into Neteller from a fee free EFT transfer.
