► As a gambler you need sportsbooks to compete for your business.

► You want the best lines and odds available at all times and the last thing that you want to do is search for a new bookie 10 minutes before game time.

► Laying off—sometimes you need to do it and in order to get the best number for the layoff, you will most likely need another bookie or even a couple of books. Beyond that, your sportsbook may not allow cross action from the same account.

► Having several bookie services is a great idea for different sports, have one for football, baseball, basketball and hockey. Most sportsbooks offer all of these sports alone but they may not specialize in any one sport. There are some great bookies available that do offer nearly every sport that you can bet on. Search out the review sites and find the one that works for you, if not, then have several solely for this purpose.

► Player bonuses, some bookies offer them and some do not. You may choose one bookie for the bonus and another bookie as a cash only service.

There are many online sportsbook available online today and choosing the right ones are important. What is important for you may not be important to the bookie. There will always be a bookmaker that will be willing to work with you or bookies that simply meet your needs. Make sure that you have a bookie for all of your gaming needs and know what you are looking for in a great bookie service.

Great bookies will not only offer a great player bonus but they will also offer great customer service and they will cater to players from the United States. Does your bookie have a toll free number that you can call and chat with a live agent?

Does your bookie come equipped with the best wagering platform, how is the ease of use? If the website is not user friendly and does not offer super ease of use; then find another service. It’s frustrating to dial up a sportsbook and realize that you need a doctor’s degree from MIT to navigate the site!

Make sure before depositing with any sportsbook that they have a stellar reputation for quick payouts. Are they honest, reliable and trustworthy with your money? What about wagering options, do they operate like a Las Vegas sportsbook? If not, then you probably want to ditch them and find a better wagering option.

Sportsbooks are a dime a dozen and finding a great one can be a challenge, finding five great ones can be an even bigger challenge but you should have a minimum of three or four. Search the reviews, know what you are looking for and start winning.
