Top Sportsbooks for Zerillo

Factors that matter most in choosing a sportsbook:

  • Best lines on things I like to bet,
  •  Easy to use app
  •  Desktop experience
  • High betting limit
  •  Unique offerings and bet types

Favorite Types of bets:  Straight bets, Parlays, Player props, Futures

 

Top 3 Sportsbooks Ranked with Pros/Cons:

1. FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel Pros

  • Competitive pricing.
  •  Make F5 lines for baseball available overnight. 
  • Higher limits than most.

FanDuel Cons

  • Need a more accessible layout. I have to click through/into too many individual game pages to find options that I want to be (ex. have to click on a game, then toggle to "1st Half" to find F5 lines)

Get more details about the FanDuel Sportsbook promo code and the good and bad about the sportsbook.

2. DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Pros

  • Best layout of the bunch. They put the entire menu for individual betting options on one screen so you don't have to click through into individual game pages, which is almost unique.

DraftKings Cons

  • Can often find matching or better prices elsewhere.

Join Zerillo–get the DraftKings promo code and learn the good and bad about the sportsbook.

 

3. WynnBET Sportsbook

WynnBET Pros

  • Typically has the best prices - especially for MLB - often matching the best prices, even offshore.

WynnBET Cons

  • F5 lines for MLB not available overnight. 
  • Similar UX issues to Fanduel and other books - have to click through too many game pages/menus to find the market I'm looking for.

Learn more about the WynnBET Promo code and if the app is available in your state.

Favorite Bet of All-Time
I only remember the bad beats.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
In 2012, I bet Josh Hamilton (+4000) to finish as the MLB HR king. He hit 43 home runs, with his last coming on September 24th. Miguel Cabrera tied Hamilton on September 29th, and surpassed him on October 1st - with two games remaining in the season.
