First of all, BetUS and Bodog are fucking HORRIBLE and I would seriously recommend against either one of them. They both will make you sweat your payouts, and they both offer horrible betting lines.
Without a doubt you should open an account at 5Dimes.com. I'm not spamming a ref code or any of that crap, I just highly recommend them if you are in the US, and you never have to worry about getting paid. Read their reviews and you will see. Also, when you open your account call them and tell them you want the reduced juice instead of the sign up bonus. They offer reduced juice lines on almost every game and fight, and in the long run that will save you a ton of money. They also offer more MMA and boxing lines than any other book except Pinnacle, and Pinnacle no longer accepts US customers.
Just remember that most of the sportsbooks rape you on fees when it comes time for a payout, so you just have to get used to that. As for MMA betting, I am a heavy MMA underdog bettor and I do really well at it. I stick to a main system that has me way ahead in the long run...bet on a heavy underdog that has one punch KO power. It's easy to fall in love with the favorites, and lately a lot of MMA favorites are covering, but where is the value in betting Fedor -600? You make a shit return, and fluke KO's happen all the time in MMA...
