Default Best online sports books?

Now that Tradesports is defunct- what online books can anyone recommend? They have to accept US players of course, and I plan on doing some baseball betting. Also I'd like to have a few accounts so I can shop for numbers. All suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance.

Default Take a look at

Betonline.com, I have only been apart of the offshore scene for 2 months now. It's the only book I have tried. You can research with SBRreview.com, they have every book on the internet on that site. They are graded, researched, supply you with every detail about the book itself such as location, type of security, track record, tread lightly with consumer respones, some are bogus, etc etc.
The sbrreview.com site does not have any popups or garbage advertisements, I think its pretty ligit.
I chose betonline.com because,
They have been steadily climbing the offshore site ladder.
security
the personel speak fluent english
website is easy to navigate (very cut and dry)
easy $$$ transfer
the juice is comparable to top 5 sites.
plenty of other reasons too.
I wish hockey had more betting options
nfl lines can be slow to be released (bigger games tuesday mornings, happened twice this season)
have not asked for withdraw yet, but no complaints.
others have suggested 5dimes, carib, as good sites too.
hope this helps.

I took luvMY$$$'s advice and did some research on SBR, and decided to go with betonline. I concur with the points he mentions above. It's been a good experience thus far.

If you want to bet baseball you want to look for the book with the best payouts. I know betonline has a 20 cent baseball lines. Betjamica has a 10 cent line. Check it out. Book is very reliable and accepts USA.

Default heard that too...

Betjamica has good MLB lines. Speaking of MLB, I know its a little far off, lol. Any tips on turning a buck with baseball.
Just from trolling other forums I have tracked a capper or 2 with pretty good percentages. Their picks are hoared out to the forums, so they can be had for free. Only looking for a play a day with slow steady profit. (similiar to what I've been doing with hockey)
I'm not really a baseball fan, but I am a fan of $$$, lol.
Also, how does the 10 and 20 cent line thing work?
Darco glad to hear your pleased with the book.

I had no money in them at the time. They're part of InTrade which is a very reputable trading book.

Actually, they started life as part of InTrade, but InTrade sold them off about a year ago. I found this out the hard way when I tried to open a position on InTrade and was rejected. I called their support and was told of the split. They allocated my account to Tradesports because the majority of my action was placed there.

I'm bummed they shut down, as I had gotten pretty good at "day trading" NFL games. My account size had grown by 7x by the time they shut down, and I can't say I was overly active. Just cherrypicking good situations.

If you or anyone else know of another reputable sports exchange platform, please post it here
