Sportbook Reviews

   Factors when deciding which sportbook to join. If you haven't placed an online sports wager before, then the task of finding a good online sportbook could be a little overwhelming. Unless you already know someone with experience in sports gambling then, it will take you a little research to find a good and reliable sportsbook with above avearage customer service. Below are a few factors to keep in mind while deciding what book to join.

• Avoid sportsbooks with high initial first time deposit bonuses - If it sounds to good to be true, it might just be that. Lots of sportbooks offer sign up bonuses, be sure to read the fine print though. Most of these bonuses will require some type of rollover before you get to withdraw your winnings if you do indeed survive the rollover requirements. 6x rollover or less is reasonable, but once you get to 8x rollover and beyond, for me that isn't even worth the risk and time it will take for you to complete the rollover.
• Deposit methods - Make sure that the sportsbook makes it easy for you to deposit your money. Most reliable sportsbook offer multiple of options for you to get your money in. Just make sure that the sportbook accepts players in your country. It would be awful if you make a deposit and find out they don't accept players in your country and now you gotta find and wait to get your money back.
• Withdraw methods - Whenever I want my money, I'm gonna want to receive it as quickly as possible. Make sure that the turn around time is not something ridiculous, you'd be surprised to see how many sportsbooks make you wait up to two weeks to receive you payout, and some even longer. I prefer to get my payout in less then a week time. I also try to avoid sportsbooks that charge you fees to get your own money out, some charge you up to $60. Some sportsbook will charge you a fee, but will also offer you a monthly free payout.
• Reliabilty of a Sportbook - Once you find a sportbook that meets all the criteria mentioned above and a few others that are important to you, you want to make sure that the sportbook you have chosen is reliable. Pick a sportbook that has been around for a while, or one that you know has a respectable name, for instance Bodog currently Bovada http://record.bettingpartners.com/_2biJdlvNS0C3ZRHfJJe6u2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/  for USA players. Do your  homework and search for different reviews for the sportbook you decide to play with. Test out their customer service hot lines, live chat features and focus on their response time and friendliness. I recommend have a few sportbook accounts, because not all lines posted on each sportbook will be the same, and you want to get the best line available. It's kinda like shopping for anything you want, you want to get the best price available right?

   Now that I have provide you with a little direction to take when picking your first sportbook, I will also provide you with links below of sportbooks that I currently use and most of them I have been with for 5+ years. These sportsbooks are reliable, trustworthy, and while some do take a little longer to payout, I have never had any issues getting my money once I request a withdrawal.

   My top sportsbooks that I use right now are.
