Thumbs up Pre/post Super Bowl sportsbook withdrawal thread...

As we all know, many people scurry to withdraw before the Super Bowl arrives at lesser quality books, and many will withdraw at the conclusion of the Super Bowl at the rest.

Because of this, some delays may occur, but the top notch books processing is usually quite efficient.

So, share your payout experiences pre and post SuperBowl in this thread, include as much info as you'd like.

I'll go first.

Beted (SBR rating B-): Two $1500 withdrawals,

Dumb question, but is the thinking that lesser-quality books, if they are on the verge of shutting down, will do so (soon) after the Superbowl has concluded, so you are best off withdrawing prior to that?

That's one way of looking at it, and I'd say it's a valid point of view sure if you're at a book that's rated very very low.

Another angle is, even if the book isn't folding, it may be swamped with processing delays and issues immediately following the Super Bowl, causing your funds to be up in limbo until those issues are resolved.

I wouldn't worry about that stuff unless you're at a book you wouldn't feel comfortable having a five figure balance at, but it's still better to be safe than sorry.

If your playing at at books that are not B or higher right now it's probably best to do so until the big Superbowl withdraw rush starts.
