    I don't hate it, but I've never really liked it much either;
    and, I've never been very good at it.

    Betting on stuff where "anything can happen" is not really
    my thing. In unfixed sports - except for boxing - "anything
    can happen."

    The stock-market is a much better gambling game.

    Horse races are fun, too.

    Here's my best story - I bet both my kidneys on the Eagles in the NFC championship game...most online sports bookies will give you up to $10,000 for each kidney in betting money while using the kidneys as collateral...the Eagles lost, so now I need to go to the hospital for dialysis treatment every other day - I really don't mind it that much cause they got lots of pretty nurses there.

    I don't care for basketball betting until March so this is my off season.

    Sites to use include matchbook.com, bodoglife.com, bookmaker.com, betjamaica.com and thegreek.com. A lot of other nice sites out there, but some of the best sites cut off US players about 2 years ago.

    Most random bet won ever, over $4000 on how the movie Saw 3 did for it's opening weekend. Yup a lot of these sites used to take bets even on movies opening weekend results. image

    Last year I made some good scores on the Grammys, Oscars and American Idol also. Sanjaya made me about $3K.

    Being on dialysis i find your statements regarding kidneys in bad taste.

    Use matchook.com . It's a betting exchange-- not a sports book-- which means you'll pay far, far less in juice over the long haul. Anyone still paying -110 is living under a cave; there are plenty of great books that spread nickel lines, and at matchook you can often find lines with only a 2 or 3 cent spread between them.

    Intertops.com


    Been using it for almost 10 years now. Not recommended if you are planning on constantly deposting/withdrawing. They usually have a 10% reload bonus which you can take advantage of to cover the cost of the bankwire fees

    Stories? They are all bad. The only thing I ever bet on was NFL & College Football, both drove me to the brink of insanity- I honestly HATE Sports Betting, dont get me wrong its the best action but it will tear your heart out and stomp and spit on it ( Then you have to pay up, with vig too )

    The best book in the world is Pinnacle Sports. Unfortunately they stopped servicing US clients a few years back. I would highly recommend the Greek www. the greek.com. They also have a sister book www.betjamaica.com. www.wagerstreet.com is another. When dealing offshore getting good lines, low juice and getting paid are the main concerns. There are a lot of crap shops out there. I would recommend the website www.therx.com. It is probably the best gambling site there is. Their forum section is as helpfull as this one is. For gambling of course.

    Look at the sbr ratings at sbr.com?
    Most of the ones recommended here recieve a failing grade, meaning youll recieve no payout. The best now depending on your needs are betjamaica, betonline, the greek, and 5dimes. Pm me if you need more help deciding.

    FWIW matchook.com grades an 'A', and you cannot beat their juice. 5dimes is a burn joint that will bounce you if you ever try to grab an off-market number.

    There's no reason, in this day and age, to pay -110, and you can even do better than a dime line if you look around.

    I just placed a bet at Bodog - If the Phillies don't repeat as World Series champions, then I'm gonna have to change my CU name from Steve to Stephanie
