But there's a benefit here.  Some bettors knew much better deals existed but stayed at these 11-10 shops out of loyalty or laziness.  Now the European and Australian corporate owners of these books are turning their backs on their loyal players.   Now circumstances dictate them being put in a position to lay -104, -105, -107 at privately owned books that are committed to the industry's future.   They aren't public companies.  They are committed to the American market.  Privately owned books are definitely "the place to be" right now.

If you've haven't grabbed hold of the best deals out there and have been shown the door by WWTS, Sportingbet, or Sportsbook.com, three low-juice shops that are privately owned deserve your attention.  They are:

Pinnacle Sportsbook:  -104 in NFL, -105 in all other sports.  Tremendous array of offerings in American sports and all international leagues as well.   A must have for anyone who wants to win.  10% bonus.  Online only.

Cascade Sportsbook:  Low juice shop that has some opinionated lines.  -105 in all major sports.  Long tenure in industry.  Solid customer service and great track record.  Phone and online wagering.

Betmania Sportsbook:  20% bonus, -107 juice in all sports.  Best teaser and parlay odds around.  Well-managed and well funded. Privately owned by the Rio International gaming group.

The Sportsbook Shark will continue to stay on top of developments for you and keep you informed.
