Which Sportsbook to Join?
 

I have about 200 dollars I'm looking to put into a sportsbook.
I checked out SBR.com and I am leaning towards Pinnacle for the reduced juice.

I really only have enough for one sight, so what would you suggest I should go for?

EDIT: VIP looks appealing too.

yeah i like pinnacle too...Bodog has a good bonus but their lines come out late and they are usually off.

Re: Which Sportsbook to Join?
 

"and they are usually off."

That's a good thing.

Re: Which Sportsbook to Join?
 

Even though you only have $200, I highly recommend joining at least 2 sportsbooks. Pinnacle is an excellent choice. For the other, I'd recommend either Bowman's or Sports Interaction. The lines at these two books usually differ quite a bit from Pinnacle.

It is much better though if you have at least one other book with "normal" lines.

Pinnacle has minimum cash out fees, right? I would think that would be deal breaker for such a small bankroll. I don't have an account there for that reason.

Consider Matchbook.

I am going to disagree with you here about Pinnacle. They charge $15 (maybe 30) for withdrawals less than $300. Even with their reduced juice, the minimal bets he will have to make and the fee, will basically make this place around -110 per each bet he makes. Plus, they don't offer a deposit bonus.

Since the OP has a limited bankroll I would recommend Bodog and Bowmans. They both have bonuses that are easy to clear and if he loves non-widely available lines he will have many to choose from. Plus, the withdrawals are free.

pinnacle does have a deposit bonus, but it is 10% up to $500 for $5000 deposit. since they don't have reloads, you should wait until you have a larger roll so you can max that one out. and as previously mentioned, they are not good for small withdrawals, so they are not recommended for beginners.

good starter sites would be:
Bodog
VIP
Bowmans
Jamaica
WWTS

VIP sports is a great one for a low bankroll for a first timer, very small min bets, free cashouts, etc.
