    Questions about what book to use

    Whats up guys? I've been using local book for 8 years now and am getting tired of using them. Usually three to four NCAA totals a night available, certain NCAA games are -120 both sides, and basic teasers are -110. I believe these are all unusual compared to other books. What books do you guys use and recommend? Do you use multiple books so you can shop for the best lines?

    I used Betus before switching to my local and I loved it, but it was hard to get any money out without paying fees or having to wait for a check to be mailed. Thanks for any advice and have a great day.

    Good luck to all!!

    I use a local too, but bookmaker, and sportsbook.com were always good for me. 5dimes seems pretty popular among some of the guys too.

      At your local, do you pay -110 for basic teasers? Do you get more than 3-4 totals a night in NCAA hoops? Just curious if this is common or am I getting bad odds? Thanks for the advice in regards to what books to use. Will check it out.

        I would probably get -110, but I never play them. And I haven't played a total in any sport for a couple years.

        I got a good relationship with my guy though. Half the time, If I call him for like, a MEAC basketball total, he would just ask me what number I see out there, and he will take that.

                I've used sports.com for 5 years and have no complaints although they are below average on MMA/boxing which I know a lot of the guys on here are all about. I'm more of a football and basketball bettor so it suits me fine.

                      Not to hijack the thread, but how do you find a local book?

                            You really just have to run into someone, who knows someone. Thats pretty much how I did anyway.

                              Basically. The first one I got hooked up with was from a guy I worked with .
