I love Bookmaker due to the fact that you can bet early lines for larger amounts, but you hit on a fundamental problem that I think many here can agree on.
CRIS/Bookmaker have been absolutely cheap ever since the US legislation, and have taken every advantage they can to gauge customers attempting to make withdrawals. I would never advise anyone making a deposit of less than say $2K to play with them, as you'd get eaten alive on a small bankroll with their various admistrative and transaction fees. I don't think they even want smaller action, so it might not effect them too much, but I still think potshots on customers come back to bite you at some point.
