Considering opening up an account with them....any reason not to.
Even though they don't have reduced juice, they do have some numbers that are different from Pinnacle and could be a useful out.
Anyone use them?

I have used them in the past and would recommend them.![]()

Some good lines but if you line shop there then they're likely to cut your limits pretty quickly. I seem to recall they ended up barring me from betting on just about all their lines.

How would they catch you line shopping taco?

If you go for the off-lines - say the Yankees are +160 everywhere but it's +185 at VIP and you jump on it. Line shopping, sharp, wise guy, steam player, whatever you call it - if you do it, they don't like it.

taco is right, but I still have 1k limits and I am up alot with them, but the only thing I would be worried about is I have a suspicion that they sell your number to touts and syndicates but it may be someone else, but I think it has to be one of the books that I have joined fairly recently.

i dont think that a A+ shop like VIP would sell your number, and risk its reputation.
Its just not worth it imo.

besides that, they have a top CS - i dont use phone, but the emails are answered very fast, and the answers are always good for me.
Also the bonus is one of the best for first deposits, 20% cash 3x ro it doesnt get any better usually. They may be scared of too much professional action, but you dont have to worry about that with your first 200$ bonus.
Id recommend playing there at least once.

buddy,
I use them and have had no problems...if you end up sigining up with them, I'd be happy to get a "referral" (if you don't mind of course)...

I think Vip is more of a "B+" book to me.

I've been using BetOnGames (a VIP book) for a couple years. I think they're pretty good. Unlike some of the comments here, I've never been limited - and I've bet nothing but soft lines there for years. I was pleasantly surprised to see they were ready to take a 2K bet on hockey from me last night.
I hate the software and the layout, but I do make money off the lines there.
