Why would you consider opening at Bodog instead of Pinnacle? At Pinnacle you would get a rebate on most of your horseracing bets. At Pinnacle you will get a better line for most of your other sports bets than you would get at Bodog.
I do not have experience at Bet365, but they do have a nice promotion going on now. It appears they are paying a 10-15% bonus on all win/place/exotic wins (bonus is paid on the amount won, not like 5Dimes which pays its bonus on the total payoff). This promotion has been "extended to July 30". If it were permanent, it would make Bet365 a serious contender for best racing sportsbook. Getting a 15% bonus on exotics is the best deal I know of for exotics, even if the bonus is paid only on the amount won.
I was not aware of the Bet365 promotion. This is why I like participating in forums like Derby Trail. I usually learn something, even when I start out trying to be helpful.

Dunbar,
Now I understood what they mean by small bettors...lol....
The big problem I see on Pinnacle is that they assume I am a experienced bettor and since I have no experience in betting outside my country, I barely understand their terms and definitions on the website. I need a more easy-to-use website, where I can get the explanation of these terms and the method of calculus of the wages and their payoffs.
Another point is that Bet365 has some differente bets that there are not on Pinnacle, like the World Cup Top Goal Scorer, The first team to receive a yellow card on a game, etc....On Pinnacle we can only bet on a game (team X win or loses); nothing else....
Thank you again!
