Default Alternatives to Bodog, please recommend (no affiliates please)

I've been betting on Bodog, and I always seem to get what occurs to me to be the "sucker" end of lines. I see people post here to take Miami at -3.5, but at Bodog the opening line is always a half point or more off (e.g. -4 or -4.5 in this case).

I've read some other posts recently where people say that Bodog changes lines per individual account, but of course they would never admit this.

What are some alternative, reputable sites that tend to have more "standard" lines offered? I always seem to lose a half point at Bodog (usually it's not in my favor).

Looking for a site with a good reputation for pay outs & money handling, and whose lines are more even with the majority of the books out there.

Thanks all

I use Pinnacle for moneylines mainly and sportsbook.com for everything else - so it's a tossup but I've been using sportsbook.com heavily for 4 years and never had a problem ....quick cashouts and good customer service, check them out and tool around in the demo sportsbook to get a feel for it - but keep in mind user opinions very greatly, and I'm just one user. Good luck [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You may want to keep the BoDog account for betting dogs.
Pinny and Sportbook are okay too.

Other sites I use - http://www.howtogamble.net/sports.htm

Good Luck!
