So, I’ve tapped out my online sports book account. It hasn’t been the best first half of the season, for my Bears, my Illini, my Fanatsy Teams (with one exception) and my bank roll. But, to the point, I’m looking to swicth to a different online sports book since I wasn’t entirely happy with my old one. I know that plenty of you junkies on this board share my feelings on the topic and therefore have probably shopped for said websites. I’m hoping someone has a favorite or has expereince with multiple ones that they’d guide me to. Hurry up and get back to me, I’m fixing to have a huge week this week and get back to even! Woo! ---

Man, I leave the real gambling to you and the other pro geniuses. But I got here from [your link here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286270), so thought I’d post regardless. ---

I use [intertops.com](http://intertops.com). I like the variety of bets, including novelty type bets, since I’m doing it for fun, not for profit. ---

Hey **xray vision** , email me (see profile) and I’ll give you a referrer bonus when I sign up for VIPsports. Decided I liked the looks of it the best based on the site and reviews. They asked for referrer info, and I figure I might as well hook you up. I imagine they want the user\_id or something. Get it to me soon, cause I’m joining and wagering this weekend. Kinda pissed I got too busy last weekend since I was dead on against the spread last week in the games I liked. Looks like another juicy week here though. ---

Thanks for thinking of me **Omniscient** , but I haven’t bet online in over a year and I probably don’t even have an active account anymore. Good luck! ---
