A well respected sportsbook that aims to serve the small to moderate player.
Bet Game Day covers all the major sports, although they have a North American focus. They offer Auto racing, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, American Football, Golf, Hockey, Horse Racing, Soccer, and Tennis. They also have a casino, if you feel the need for a bit of blackjack, or whatever.
The Bet Game Day site is easy to navigate and well laid out. I have no trouble finding and making my bets. It is a little slow-loading though, but on cable, it's not much of an issue.
Bet Game Day have a good variety of promos. At the moment, on Wednesdays, you only pay 1/2 the normal juice on any basketball bets. They also have a "close call" promo on parlays, where getting all but one of your picks right is still a winner (sort of). You also earn VIP Reward points, which can be converted for cash, gifts, merchandise, or entries into sweepstakes for big prizes.
They were voted "Quickest paying sportsbook" by readers of Gambling Online Magazine in 2002, and are getting cash into my Neteller account within 24-48 hours. Support is available by internet chat, or North American toll-free number, and is almost instant, and the staff are very helpful.
Overall, Bet Game Day is definately a good sportsbook, and I keep a small amount of money there, even when I don't have a bonus to clear - their lines are usually competitive.
