For the sports bettor looking for a sportsbook to place their Kentucky Derby betting wagers, consider creating an account with TheGreek, one of the best shops in the online industry. Proud owner of BetJamaica, TheGreek is a sports betting website that has extremely high limits, incredible wagering options, and a customer service staff that makes you feel like a person instead of a number. Today we look at the best parts of TheGreek sportsbook.

Who Bets Here – TheGreek has a primary focus on appeasing the sharp bettors of the industry. For the majority of sports, TheGreek is the sportsbook that sharps and professional handicappers turn to for early lines, high limits and a plethora of betting options.

TheGreek carries all of the traditional betting options, from spreads, to totals. However, their main focus seems to be money lines as no matter what the spread is on some games, TheGreek always has a money line wager for their sharps to choose from.  What’s more, as we noted earlier TheGreek also has really high limits, meaning to say they receive a ton of action from bettors that enjoy risking a lot of money. Although their maximum limit is $3000, TheGreek customer service staff has been known to raise the limits a little higher.

Customer Service – TheGreek uses an old school approach to customer service, nevertheless, they are still considered by many to be a leader in customer support. While most of the big name sportsbooks have adopted the live chat and email approach to communicating with the customers, TheGreek isn’t as up to speed. While TheGreek has email, your best chance of talking to a customer service agent is by calling TheGreek hotline. The hotline is operational 24 hours a day 365 days a year. What’s more, the nicest feature about the customer service is that you can call the particular area you are concerned with, as opposed to phone into an operation board.

When it comes to sports betting online, there is no sportsbook we would rather place our wagers with than Sports Interaction. Based out of Kahnawake reserve in Quebec, Canada Sports Interaction has been providing new and casual bettors with a place to learn how to bet since 1998. In the company’s 13 years of being online, they have grown from a medium sized shop, to one of the biggest in the industry. As a matter of fact, in a recent top 10 best casual sportsbooks poll, Sports Interaction ranked number one in the world.

Sports Interaction has come a long way since its debut in 1998, as it has expanded its operations from North America to the rest of the world. As a result, whether you are betting in Quebec or betting in France, you can be sure that Sports Interaction has an option for you. Throughout its 13 year existence, Sports Interaction has seen its stock rise from a middle of the pack shop known for good wagering options, to one that is nearly synonymous with quick payouts and amazing customer service.

When it comes to betting options, Sports Interaction literally carries every sport, but specializes in the big four major team sports in North America. In fact, when it comes to football betting, whether you are wagering on the NFL or college, Sports Interaction has close to 1000 options a week for handicappers to choose from. As well, they also specialize in European football, whether you are betting on the Premier League, or the Australian version of the sport.

Recently, Sports Interaction has adopted the live betting approach that you see from many European sportsbooks including Bet365. The live betting options allow bettors to change which team they are wagering upon in a game, during the game. For instance, if you are wagering on the Blackhawks at – 200 to beat the Canucks, and the Canucks jump out to a lead, you can switch your wager at the intermission to the Canucks.
