I think the 24 phone service is overrated for books as is 24 phone betting also especially for this book because its not a world book like Bet365, even Cris and Pinnacle.
The no rake poker is great but it did not take off like they thought

I've had an account there since 2001 when thaey used to pay 4% interest on your account balance. Now that was cool!
WSEX is a sponsor here so take my words with a grain of salt. But they are great to have an account at. Very honorable and respectful professionals. Very fun interactive betting even though I can't win with them.

I think he meant it was a strength
What do you mean Roller the balance does not update? I think you have to hit refresh after you make a bet and it updates

Guardian still pays 10% interest on your account balance.Originally Posted by SBR_John

[QUOTE=MrX]Personally, I HATE the drop-down menus for bet amounts. [QUOTE]
That definitely sucks.![]()

I used to despise the drop-down preset bet amounts for the first few months that I played there. Now, I like it, because of the speed with which you can place the bet.
Having said that, I think WSEX should try to do what Carib did with their software. Carib also has the standard drop-down preset bet amounts like WSEX, but about a year ago (maybe longer?) they added the ability to bet a specific amount of your choosing, rather than a standard preset amount ... it takes a lot longer, but at least Carib allows you the option of doing this. That's what WSEX needs to do, too.

WSEX is top shelf. Quick payouts and their interactives are unique to the industry.

Great book, my only complaint is their betting amount is structured for certain amounts.

its inconceivable to me in this day and age that i cant see wager accepted and my updated balance.

little things like these bother me...sounds like they've got some things to work on...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
I guess weaknesses are:
1. Balances not updating
2. No one likes drop down pre set wagering amounts
3. Inability to make multiple wagers on one pop
4. Harder than most books to get someone live
In concluding overall like Chucky says WSEX is top shelf

Exactly. Hate the drop down preset. I have to hit refresh on every bet, kinda annoying but I can live with it.Originally Posted by jjgold
Never had to call wsex, so 24 hr phone doesn't bother me.

They offer only accounts in USD...

their have, like almost any other sponsor here, very bad lines for soccer. Actually, today is a game for Primera liga in Spain and they do not even have any odds posted yet. They really suck for soccer.
The only sponsor here which is good for soccer is Pinnacle, especially from this season when they started to post lines even for the lower leagues!

WSEX is not a world book
Caters only to American Sports, soccer lines are out of a newspaper
Bet only usa sports there

I heard they are offering a 20% bonus now. Is this true? I see nothing on their site about it.

As far as juice goes, they are nice in bases but extremely average (-110 sides) for all of the other major sports.
