Default Wish me luck, BETUS is almost a thing of the past

I posted on here a few weeks ago about my misfortune of openeing an account with BetUs. I was asking about the possibilty of a charge back. Most people felt like I should just try to beat the book instead, so that's what I did. I am happy to say I have had moderate success picking up an extra 50% of my original bankroll in the process. Today I requested the payout via check. I tried to do the wire but for some reason my bank wouldn't give me the swift code. Now let's just hope that I can get paid in a timely manner. I am ready to move on to another book and never ever accept another bonus.

I would like to thank everyone here, I just took in what people where saying and made my own decisions.

Some day when I am not such a rookie I hope to contribute as well.

Good luck getting your payout from BetUS. Not to say you won't get it at all, but I'd expect at least a 2 week wait and some hassle.

Here's wishing you the best though...

I forgot to mention that for some unkown reason BETUS is unable to cut me a check for the change in my balance.
While it's only $0.81 I wonder how fast that adds up for them when you consider how many accounts that can never get back fractions of a dollar. I also find it odd that when I made my deposit they requested that I deposit an amount with some change in it. At the time they said it was so the deposit had a higher chance of success, which made sense at the time. I don't know, I find myself second guessing their motives all the time now. But maybe this is standard for all books.

Why can't you have a BETUS account?
Why would you want a BETUS account?
Why would I let you use my account and assume responsibilty for your actions?

Just an update.

MY account balance has been removed and on the "track your payout" page the status has been changed from "awaiting supervisors approval" to a nice green check mark next to the word "paid". Maybe all the worrying was for nothing.

BetUS has been solid with payouts the last couple years.

Justin7,

You replied to my first thread about possibly doing a chargeback and your post here pretty much mirrors what you said before. If BETUS has been solid as far as payouts go, then why do they remain a "D" book? My only reason for having a negative opinion about BETUS was derived from all the horror stories posted here as well as some of the things you said yourself. Man I am confused.

If all goes well, I will redeposit a smaller sum to BETUS as they really have great lines for DOGS.
It's nice to be able to pick up a free point or more.
