    Default Need to set up account TODAY...help

    Want to get some money on the UofL-WVU game tonight but the accounts I have I can't place bets anymore(Mansion & Bet365). I know there are many sites to choose from, but I'd like to use the one with best current promotions(i.e. bonuses) that I can setup quickly. Probably one that doesn't have RB poker associated because I assume that would take longer.

    I need a site that:
    1) has quick setup(I have $$$ in Neteller)
    2) good current bonus/promotion
    3) accepts US bettors

    Suggestions??

    Pinnacle has the lowest rake

    In my experience, sportsbook bonuses are shite compared to poker bonuses. (Considering the edge a good poker player has vs. a good handicapper.) If you have a big roll you can clear bonuses by arb'ing at different sites, but for a casual sportsbettor there isn't much out there without a large wagering requirement (usually 5x deposit+bonus). One exception to this is Bodog, which has a 1x rollover requirement, but only for new accounts. And their bonus is only 10%. If you're looking for the lowest juice, go with Pinnacle.

    ensign_lee might disagree with me here, so you should wait for his two cents.

    If you just want to get in and get out, I'd definitely go with Bodog with their 1x rollover.

    After that, it will depend on your situation: what type of sports do you plan to be betting? What type of roll do you have to be depositing into one book? Are you comfortable staying at one book or do you want to be constantly moving around, shopping lines?

    Let me know the answers to these questions and I'll see if I can't find you a good fit.

    Best bonuses I see right now are some 100% freeplays, 50% freeplays, and the such.

    But for tonight, if you just want to get down on tonight's game, go with Bodog's. 10% bonus negates the vig, and your rollover is complete once your done with your bet. Just deposit the amount that you're going to put on the game.

    Thanks for the replies, made the bet on match.book w/free commissions for 2 weeks and I got -105 on the bet.

    Ensign...I think I've got $29 in commission credits now. Does that mean if I withdraw before "using" them I would lose that amount?(BTW if you want to PM me with referral codes etc I'll be sure to give you credit. I still owe you big time for the Steelers Mansion bet )

    I don't bet alot, but I will be shopping lines when I do. Mostly College fball and bball. Wouldn't mind using some freeplay bonuses...guess I should reread the stickies
