Diamond (DSI)
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A+
Comments: Diamond
Sports International has been in operation since
1998; but a few years ago the sportsbook was able to start its
climb to top-tier status by partnering with, and becoming
powered by, A+ rated BetCRIS. DSI
offers its players the security that comes with the financial
backing from one of the industry's true powerhouses, as well
as the technical resources and hosting available in the
state-of-the-art CRIS building, while maintaining its own
identity, independent lines and bonus structure.
This
sportsbook excels by doing the little things and aims to prove
to players that their VIP-level service can not be found
elsewhere. DSI
openly boasts about its immediate grading of wagers and 24/7
LiveChat and phone service. Whether it's betting on primetime
football or a 3 AM tennis match taking place on the other side
of the world, DSI
will be available to assist.
DSI
built a reputation as a generous sportsbook that puts a
premium on quality service to all types of players. From the
player who demands it all, including office pools, a poker
room, horse wagering and skill games, to the larger player who
needs a no-nonsense high-limit sportsbook, Diamond Sports
strives to be the perfect choice.

Bet Jamaica
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A+
Comments: BetJamaica, part of the The
Greek Sports Group, is an excellent choice for players who are
looking for the industry’s strongest combination of bookmaking
and professional management. With the solid backing of
TheGreek, BetJamaica offers an unique
lineset, not a clone of its parent company. This operation
excels by offering attractive bonuses, reduced juice specials,
superior customer service and solid lines.
BetJamaica is widely praised
by players for its superior customer service standards, which
deliver a personalized experience that is supported by one of
the most experienced management groups in the industry. Fast,
no hassle payouts and a variety of banking options have
quickly become a hallmark of BetJamaica.
This
sportsbook has customized its ASI-powered wagering software to
deliver players a well-organized, efficient and, most
important, easy to use betting interface. Players will find a
website rich with content including an extensive sports
handicapping database. Continued innovation results in
numerous new features being added to the website on a regular
basis. Among the new features introduced as of the summer of
2008 are alternate run lines and five inning baseball lines.

BookMaker
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A+
Comments: BookMaker.com,
a new website recently acquired by Costa Rican International
Sports (The BetCRIS Group), is now servicing the majority of
BetCRIS players. BetCRIS transferred all U.S. accounts to
BookMaker on March 1st 2007.
To say that BetCRIS
Group is a leader in the offshore business is an
understatement. This is the place where all lines start. Most
books will not even open a betting line until CRIS oddsmakers
have established the number. The days of watching Las Vegas
have long since past. This is a high-volume bookmaker that
takes $5,000 bets as routinely as most books take $100 bets.
This is where professional players play. In a day where
successful players find that their limits are cut for winning
too much, players can win without limit at BetCRIS
and get paid with a smile into the millions of dollars.
For as long as there has been offshore wagering, there
has been BetCRIS.
This is a very large and established operation that is best
suited for the sophisticated player as well as large
recreational players who typically wager $500 per event or
more.

BetOnline
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A-
Comments: BetOnline
earned its position on the SBR Recommended List through hard
work, innovation and experience. The sportsbook began taking
wagers online as BestLineSports in Costa Rica in 2001 using a
bookmaking model that involved discounted line pricing at
-108. BestLine moved to Panama in July of 2004 becoming one of
two online sportsbooks occupying the country. BLS began
expanding its business and by 2006 had moved into one of the
industry's top facilities where it employed over 300
Panamanian citizens. Earlier this year the company made what
was likely its best investment by purchasing BetOnline
Sportsbook, and more importantly, its website name BetOnline.com,.
Along with a top level service, BetOnline
offers incentives and high value to the bettor. The sportsbook
allows the client to choose between two different aggressive
benefits packages. Management's goal is for the player to be
shopping between sign-up options instead of choosing between
BOL and other sportsbooks. Experienced players who make many
wagers will be pleased with the savings from the -105 program
while the NFL Sunday bettor will enjoy making his first bets
with house money in the form of free plays.

LegendZ Sports Book
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A+
Comments: LegendZ sets itself apart
from other sportsbooks with an emphasis on friendly and
efficient customer service. While many sportsbooks answer the
phone with the generic one word acknowledgement -- Sports --
the first thing a LegendZ client will hear is,
"Hello, It's a great day at Legends! How can I help you?" At
the first contact, the caller is made to feel as if he will
receive individual attention from a clerk who has the time to
answer any questions.
The large employee talent pool
was only one of the reasons LegendZ moved from Costa Rica
to Panama in July of 2003. Panama's exceptional infrastructure
has helped Legendz make sure the possibility of website
downtime is all but eliminated. Management tells SBR they
"have back-ups for the back-ups" and the result is one of the
most stable gaming sites online.
LegendZ Sports is a great
choice for the recreational gambler looking for a book he can
rely on for quality and fairness, and demands payouts seven
days a week.

The Greek Sports Book
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A+
Comments: The
Greek Sportsbook is a must-have for the smart
veteran sports investor who enjoys following the odds almost
as much as betting them. Simply put, no one offers more
betting options and offers them faster than The
Greek Sportsbook. This sportsbook is known for
its ability to set the early market odds on events without
having to worry about weak lines. Professional players are
well aware that getting a crack at the early betting line is
worth as much as, and sometimes more than, huge bonuses or
reduced prices. The Greek's fearless, yet smart bookmaking
style is what keeps everyone watching, including most other
sportsbooks.
This is also a great choice for those who
just want to have a worry free, fun experience. The
ownership’s motto is “Sweat the game, not the payout”. These
are not just decorative words used to fill space on the
homepage. The
Greek Sportsbook aims to give their customers the
fastest withdrawals in the industry. Payouts are processed
within 24 hours by a company that carries our A+ financial
rating.
Those who enjoy proposition and future wagers
consider The
Greek Sportsbook a top choice. Smaller players
who seek large bonuses would do better at Greek owned sister
book, BetJamaica.

5Dimes
SBR Rating: Sportsbook Review
Overall Rating: A
Comments: This is a great
book that welcomes professional players betting large stakes
and that offers attractive bonuses for the small player. 5Dimes
offers great variety of original betting lines for nearly
every sporting event. This shop is known for having the most
extensive selections of betting odds in the industry.
5Dimes
has become on of the top choices for players looking for
original and well booked alternate run lines for MLB, Tennis,
Golf, Soccer and various other sports, that other shops
consider to be secondary. This sportsbook posts the largest
amount and variety of odds on sporting events for the
different leagues from all over the world.
For the
American market, 5Dimes
offers the absolute lowest juice for MLB overnight lines,
booking a 5 cent line overnight line. Example: Yankees -103
Red Sox -102
This shop is run by one of the sharpest
bookmakers the industry has ever known. 5Dimes is considered a
very sharp bookmaking operation.
