Best Online Sportsbook for US account?

[beetman]

sportsbook.com is a horrible choice for US residents. They recently cancelled the pending wagers of a lot of US residents because they chose not to accept residents of certain states (or anybody who signed up via the Paradise Poker skin) any longer.

thanks for the sportbook info - being from indiana, i am sure i will not be able to sign up.

Also i found an affiliate site that offers $50 for signing up at pinny. its B Bonus (sorry last time i posted a site a got banned and had to email to get my account my account back.) So that seems good - hopefully its legit.

From the FAQ:

<ul type="square">
What are the best sportsbooks? What do you think of (specific) book?
What books do you use / should I use? Etc...[*]This depends on what sports you are betting, how often you bet, whether you want reduced juice, and lots of other factors. There is no single right answer. [*]Check out www.sportsbookpal.com and Sportsbookreview.com for full references and reviews on all the sportsbooks out there. This compiled information is much better than what you'll get by asking "hey what do you think of this site?"[*]Check out Sublime's excellent "Must have sportsbooks" post. [/list]
There really isn't a single best answer, despite what's been said in this thread (including what I said myself in a momentary lapse in judgement). Pinnacle is the "best" for some situations. Other books are "best" for others.

If you're really serious, the best thing to do is deposit across at least 3-4 sites and be able to take advantage of the best of each site, as well as arbitrage/middles.

You can name the sites here. I actually just found out about biggerbonus.com and was told it's a credible site. I'm currently doing the 5Dimes signup through them and wish I had known about it for Pinney.

Another option you may want to look at is an exchange. I use Mansion's exchange and have made a number of offers with less juice than available lines and more often than not they're accepted.
