With Pinnacle closed to US residents, what are the best books for betting on rugby and australian rules football? I'm not as concerned about getting good lines as I am about not paying excessive juice. I notice that Mansion offers both rugby and australian rules football. But are they active markets? And 5 Dimes carries both, but I wonder if the juice is excessive? Any suggestions?

Don't use 5Dimes to play these two sports bud.
Generally 5Dimes will use a 30 cent line on these sports. However, they will pump it up to a 40 cent line if there is just a tad less info floating out there.Comment -

That's an Australian book that no longer accepts U.S. customers. I used to have an account with almost every Australian book. But they also have abandoned the U.S. market.Comment -
Sorry didnt realise they had left the market. Cant think who else might be any good . Portlandbet are OK but not sure whether they will accept your bets or not.Comment -
Cris and the Greek both offer these sports, lines/prices are as good as anywhere else if memory serves me. Prob your best bet with Pinny gone. Matchbook would be nice, volume would be a concern. 5Dimes and WSEX etc etc... would also be valuable outs.Last edited by mad; 01-24-07, 10:38 PM.Comment -
Portland Bet
As I was afraid, since Portlandbet is an Australian book they don't accept U.S. customers. Thanks for trying though.Comment -
I actually like wagering on these two sports. However, now that pinnacle is no longer an option for U.S. players it's not worth betting on anymore.
I don't know how the rest of the U.S. players feel about this one, but I can't bet on a sport where I'd lose that type of value via that outrageous vig.Comment -
rugby
I agree with you. I'm not willing to pay excessive juice, either. The two possibilities that I am aware of are Mansion and Tradesports. Mansion has both rugby and australian rules football listed. Rugby starts up in a couple of weeks. I'll see what Mansion has to offer at that time. And I was told by Tradesports that they carry rugby but not australian rules football. So, I'll see what they offer, also. I'm hopeful. But we'll see.Comment -
I know they both carry those sports, but I don't recall seeing much volume there last year at Mansion. However, I have not followed these sports at Tradesports at all.Comment
