I do, lol. The value there is beyond belief if you like dogs and unders...or anti public plays in general. I also have active accounts with 5 dimes and Sportbet.com and I easily make 2 bets at SIA for every 1 I make between the other two.
Wait till football and basketball roll around....you can almost always get a hook in your favor on just about every game (if the play is antipublic), and if the public is really pounding something, you can on occasion get as much as like 2 points in your favor there.
They're usually slow to react too, so if you like following steam moves at all, you can often get a very good line with that as well. I personally don't do that often, especially not in baseball, but I'll do it occasionally in football or basketball.
Another thing I think you'd like is that often times (especially with NFL) SIA will juice the shit out of the public side (lets say Jacksonville is playing Indy and the public is hitting Indy -3 hard), and you can often get something like JAX +3.5 AND at +105 or +110 at SIA if you watch the line till you get what you want. Getting the hook AND plus odds....now that's sweet IMO.
Usually there's mega value on weeknight primetime college football and basketball games that are televised too.
Unfortunately I don't know how to use money gram though. I haven't deposited anywhere since the whole crack down thing with the gov't, and i really don't plan to, so I haven't looked into any of the methods that are still able to be used.
As far as Bodog, I could never seem to get a good line with them for some reason. Every time I wanted to make a play there, the spread line would usually be juiced to like -115 or -120, and I got real annoyed with that. At the very least I'd get market line and the standard -110. Never used Bodog for bases, so I have no idea about their bases lines.
Keep in mind though that Bodog does have a better rating and reputation than SIA, although I've been with SIA for probably 5 years, had multiple withdrawals, and have never had a problem other than when the idiots canceled my wager the one time due to a pitching change, even though i KNOW i had the replacement pitcher listed. I can only speak from personal experience, but I don't have anything bad to say about them, and I'm not worried about being paid by them when I request a W/D....at least not any more than I would be from any other book right now.
