SportsbookPal.com has reviews and special sign-up bonsues for some of the books. if you don't already have a copy of Sharp Sports Betting (the Super System of sports betting) you'll get one free from them for opening thru them - worth its weight in gold if you're just getting started.

pinnacle generally has the sharpest lines but worst bonsuses.
Bodog generally has the best bonuses but some pretty square lines.

Bodog also shares your bankroll with their poker room, and they have some of the worst players on the internet.

If you only have one account, I recommend pinnacle. If you have two, I'd go Pinny and Bodog. If you're purely recreational go Bodog because the bonus will matter more to you than the line - not to mention SportsbookPal's extra bonus and free book for the Bodog signup.

don't waste a small first deposit at pinnacle. if you don't max out their 10% to $500 deal the first time, you will never get another chance.

bodog is a good recreational book, as is VIP.

If you’re starting with $200-$300, you can generally get a good bonus by opening up and account with Nine and VIP. Nine will have someone call you on the phone within a couple days with a special offer (i.e 100% up to $100). VIP will email you an offer, and if you don’t deposit you'll get postal mail every month with a new offer until you deposit.

Pinnacle gives 1 free cash out per month but it need to be for $500 or more. Otherwise it cost $15 for a Neteller withdrawal so they might not be a good option based on your bankroll size. BoDog covers all fees on Neteller Instacash plus pays 10% bonus on each deposit. They have very good customer service and cash out times to neteller are generally a matter of a couple hours. Nine and VIP take a bit longer on cash outs, Pinnacle is very fast on cash outs and grading wagers.

with such a small roll you should pass on any site with withdraw fees, such as pinny.

pinnacle very recently changed their rules, now they say you can get one free w/d per calendar month regardless of amount. subsequent cashouts are still $15, but that's virtually every sportsbook's policy.

Pinnacle is the best sportsbook in the world. There isn't a close second. However, if you make an initial deposit there of less than $5000, you are flushing money down the toilet.
