My recommended sportsbooks:

Based on my experience and various reviews, I recommend these sportsbooks. These are not paid sponsors or recommendations.

Borgata, Atlantic City

You can't go too wrong in A/C, but for my money, I like the lines and setup of the Borgata Sportsbook. They were the second casino to take a sports wager after legalization hit NJ, and like the rest of their casino, they do it well.

The Borgata hotel is first class. The rooms are wonderful, the beds are delightful, and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Venetia, Las Vegas

Anywhere on the stip will have basically the same lines and policies, so my choice here is just down to personal preference. I love the casino, the availability of entertainment and food, and the location on the strip. When I'm in vegas, this is my main stop.

Online at bet365.com

If you aren't near AC or Vegas, then going online might be your only available option. Use extreme caution when choosing an online sportsbook, and oly go with a major, recognized brand. Many of these sites are fly-by-night, offering great lines and bonuses, but when you try to get a payout you'll find out why they are fly-by-night.

This is why I recommend Bet365. They are one of the biggest and best-established brands, and have a good reputation in the biggest thing that matters: getting paid. After all, what good is winning if you won't get paid? Their lines are solid and fast, and they have plenty of options on the board. Other solid sites are BetOnline, BetCRIS, or 5dimes. These all rate well and have a track record of paying customers.
